Two completely different products hide behind the same name. Small Carlinkit adapters simply make wired factory CarPlay or Android Auto wireless — you plug one in once, and after that the phone connects on its own. Larger Android media boxes with 4G and 8+128 GB of memory add apps and navigation to a screen that has neither. An adapter will only work if the car supports CarPlay or Android Auto at least over a cable — start there.
