In this review, I compare CarlinKit and Ottocast HDMI to CarPlay adapters and I answer the community question of How to Watch iPhone Video on Apple CarPlay using these HDMI adapters to easily watch back video from your iPhone with as little lag as possible.

MAX Group HDMI to USB-C Cable - https://amzn.to/45QXfHK UNI HDMI to USB-C HDCP 2.2 Cable - https://amzn.to/4ePjDFI Both adapters were able to connect my iPhone to my CarPlay display, however, both seem to handle the display output very differently. The CarlinKit will stretch to fill the screen most of the time, whilst the Ottocast will shrink the feed slightly and display black borders at the top and bottom. Some of the HDMI hubs can also make the experience worse, whilst I found some hubs like the Satechi and HDMI cable methods were the better ways to connect to an iPhone, some HDMI hubs from Aukey and Anker seem to window the output or have a very poor frame rate. Those wishing to carry out the cable (or hub) method, should look out for HDCP 2.2 or higher compatibility. This 'should' allow copy-protected apps like Netflix, HULU and others to work over the HDMI feed. I later found this out after already buying the cable in this video, so I went and purchased another with HDCP 2.2 support which also didn't work, so I will try a 2.3 cable and report back as soon as it arrives and tested. ----------------------------------------------- ⭐️ SUPPORT MY CHANNEL ⭐️ If my videos have helped you in any way, you can show your support and appreciation by sending me a THANKS here on this page or by making a one-time donation through Buy Me A Coffee 👉🏻 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CarPlayLife - Thank you so much! ----------------------------------------------- TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Brief overview 0:27 - How to get iPhone video on CarPlay 1:20 - What you need to do it 2:02 - USC-C Satechi Mobile Pro Hub + CarlinKit 2:55 - YouTube test 3:41 - Netflix test 3:59 - Prime Video test 4:49 - Plex media test 5:20 - Aukey 8-in-1 USB-C Hub 5:34 - YouTube test 6:08 - Audio sync test on Aukey + CarlinKit 6:30 - Audio sync test on Satechi + CarlinKit 7:21 - TikTok test 7:38 - VLC Player test 7:47- Android & iOS compatibility 8:51 - Ottocast TV Mate Compared 9:14 - YouTube test 9:27 - Audio sync test on Satechi + Ottocast 10:00 - Netflix test 10:09 - Prime Video test 10:42 - Plex media test 11:06 - VLC Player test 11:52 - Two more HDMI hub & cable test! 12:28 - Anker USB-C Hub + CarlinKit 12:48 - YouTube test 13:21 - Audio sync test on Anker + CarlinKit 13:43 - YouTube test on Anker + Ottocast 14:14 - HDMI to USB-C Cable 14:42 - YouTube test 15:04 - Audio sync test on HDMI cable + CarlinKit 15:35 - Prime Video test 15:48 - Netflix test 16:10 - Plex test 16:32 - VLC Player test 16:55 - Ottocast TV Mate + HDMI Cable 17:16 - Audio sync test on HDMI cable + Ottocast 17:40 - YouTube test 18:13 - Prime Video test 18:30 - Which Adapter & Connection is Best? ----------------------------------------------- MORE CONTENT & UPDATES: Looking for more Auto, Gaming, and Life Technology content?
