【Car Gadget】Coin-sized but super-fast wireless conversion! Navigation, phone, and messages can be done freely
Connecting a smartphone with a cable every time you get into the car can be surprisingly cumbersome. That's where the ultra-compact adapter "OTTOCAST Mini Nova" comes into play. With a size comparable to a 100-yen coin, it swiftly resolves the wiring issues in your car.
Just plug it in, and you'll be free from daily cable connections
This spring, the "Ottocast Mini Nova" was released as a new product from Ottocast. It's a convenient adapter that makes cars with wired CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity wireless with just a USB connection. No special installation work is required, and it's easy for anyone to use.
Using it is simple; just plug it into your car's USB port. There's no need to install an app. If you pair it with your smartphone just once, it will automatically connect from the next time you start the engine.
Every time you commute or pick someone up, you search for the cable and plug it in. Even this seemingly simple action can become surprisingly stressful when done every day. By reducing this hassle, you can transform your in-car environment into a more comfortable one.

Weighing only 5.5g with a super compact design with zero protrusions
The main body size is 21mm wide, 32.3mm long, and 8mm high, with a weight of just 5.5g. It hardly stands out even when plugged into the USB port, maintaining the aesthetic of the dashboard.
Compatible with over 98% of vehicles equipped with genuine CarPlay or Android Auto (excluding BMW/MINI), it is widely compatible with both iOS and Android. It supports commonly used apps such as Google Maps, Spotify, and LINE MUSIC, and also allows for hands-free operation with Siri and Google Assistant, reducing operational burdens while driving.

Though small, it has serious quality testing
Contrary to its easy appearance, it has passed over 5000 insertion and removal tests and extreme temperature durability tests from -20℃ to 70℃. In addition, it has obtained TELEC certification, which pertains to technical standards. With Japanese language support and a one-year warranty, it can be used with confidence even by those using a car adapter for the first time.
For those who want to keep the car interior tidy but don't want to do major customizations, the "Ottocast Mini Nova" seems to be a good partner for updating the in-car environment.
