Product Overview
The BSUBSU CP-AA-2026 is a compact automotive wireless adapter designed to convert an existing factory wired Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connection into a wireless connection. The adapter plugs into a compatible vehicle’s USB interface and communicates with a smartphone through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It does not add CarPlay or Android Auto to vehicles that lack the corresponding wired system.
The white adapter measures approximately 1 × 1 × 1.1 inches and uses a compact USB design intended to remain connected inside the vehicle. Published product information identifies Bluetooth 5.2 along with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless communication. A USB Type-C extension is included for vehicles that use a USB-C connection rather than a traditional USB-A interface.
Initial setup requires Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to be enabled on the smartphone. After pairing, the adapter is designed to reconnect automatically during later vehicle starts when the previously paired phone is available. The device supports compatible iPhones and Android phones, but vehicle and smartphone compatibility requirements differ between the two platforms.
The exact white configuration is identified by model CP-AA-2026 and catalog identifier B0F98WZBGF. No independently verified UPC, EAN, or GTIN was located for this configuration, so those identifiers are omitted.

Buying Considerations
Existing Wired System Required
The most important compatibility requirement is an existing working wired CarPlay or Android Auto system. The adapter cannot create either platform in an unsupported vehicle.
Vehicle USB Port
A USB port providing power only is insufficient. The port must carry the vehicle’s wired smartphone-projection data connection.
Android Compatibility
The manufacturer lists Android 11 or later but excludes Google phones. Android users should verify their phone model before relying on general Android Auto compatibility.
Wireless Connection Behavior
Wireless projection introduces a radio link where a direct cable was previously used. Connection behavior can therefore be affected by phone software, vehicle firmware, radio interference, and startup timing.
Automatic Pairing
Automatic reconnection reduces repeated setup after initial pairing, but connection order can become relevant in vehicles used by multiple drivers with previously paired phones.
USB-A and USB-C
The included Type-C extension broadens physical connector compatibility. It does not make a charge-only USB-C port compatible with CarPlay or Android Auto.
Compact Dimensions
The approximately one-inch housing reduces the physical space occupied around the USB port. Available clearance should still be checked when the vehicle’s port is recessed or located behind a cover.
