what's in the box?

AirFly Drive plugs into your car’s CarPlay or Android Auto USB port and turns the wired connection wireless. Before first-time setup, disconnect your phone from your car’s Bluetooth by selecting your vehicle in your phone’s Bluetooth settings and choosing Forget This Device.

Then, plug in AirFly Drive and follow the on-screen instructions. If the setup screen doesn’t appear, select the Apple CarPlay icon on your car’s infotainment screen—even if you use an Android phone.

Once connected, you can confirm the connection in your phone’s Wi-Fi settings, where you’ll see “AirFly Drive.” AirFly Drive uses Wi-Fi to establish the connection between your phone and car. Pair once, and future drives connect automatically—no cable or app needed.

AirFly Drive needs to go into your car’s media-enabled CarPlay/Android Auto media port, not the charge-only port. Many cars have both port types, and plugging AirFly Drive into the charging-only one means it won’t launch. Check for a CarPlay/Android Auto icon near the port, or your owner’s manual.

Every AirFly Drive comes with:

  • one AirFly Drive
  • one USB-A to USB-C adapter (for cars with USB-C ports)
  • one quick start guide

Only if your vehicle's port is USB-C. AirFly Drive connects natively via USB-A; the included USB-A to USB-C adapter is there for cars with a USB-C connection. Either way, setup is still plug and play.

AirFly Drive works with any car that already has a wired Apple CarPlay or wired Android Auto system, most vehicles from around 2016 on. Not sure if your car has CarPlay or Android Auto? Apple and Google both publish compatible vehicle lists, or you can check with your manufacturer. AirFly Drive is not compatible with AUX-only vehicles.

Scan the QR code included in the box to check our official vehicle compatibility list. If you need additional help, our friendly support team can help confirm compatibility at support@twelvesouth.com.

Yes. AirFly Drive pairs with two phones and lets you switch between them with a single press, no re-pairing needed.

AirFly Drive is made from an aluminum alloy and polycarbonate housing measuring 0.89 x 0.89 x 1.06 in (22.5 x 22.5 x 27 mm) and weighing 42 g, small enough to disappear into your console once it’s plugged in.

Our team is happy to help! Contact Twelve South Support at support@twelvesouth.com.

Airfly Drive may feel warm while operating. We chose an aluminum housing to help transfer heat away from the internal electronics. As a result, it may feel warmer to the touch than a plastic housing. If it becomes unusually hot or you notice connection or audio issues as it warms up, contact Twelve South support.

    Works great but gets hot

    Love the product, worked from the first plug-in for my 2020 Volvo. The problem is it gets very hot- so much so I had to use my sleeve to unplug it. So now, I use it on very limited basis. I am concerned it will melt or cause a fire. Really want this to work but will not leave it plugged in.

    Thumbs up!

    Love the size and it works very well so far. Only drawback, if you need it, is the instructions are almost unreadable. The print is far too small. Either way, a solid device. Glad I got it!

    Nice little add-in

    Works well in my Subaru Forester Touring using an iPhone 18 Pro. It helps reduce the clutter of cables beneath the radio. You can’t see it. on my Subaru once you have plugged it in. I will have to use a cable, however, on long drives if I want a full iPhone battery at my destination. It occasionally shows the setup screen. but you just have to push the arrow on the left back and you’re at AirPlay. For short drives and around town, it works terrific. Nice job, 12South

    Perfect little toy

    This has untethered my phone from car. I can keep my iPhone in pocket and CarPlay just shows up on my screen. The setup was easy and as they showed in video on product page. Awesome product.

    Great product. Works very well. I did have to disconnect my car’s Bluetooth to play audio, but after that has worked very well!
