Autofy K713C Review 2026: Wireless CarPlay Box with 4GB RAM and Play Store
- The Autofy K713C is a wireless CarPlay and Android Auto box that also runs Android 12 with the Play Store.
- It costs Rs 5,499 with 4GB RAM, 32GB storage and a 24-month warranty.
- Best for owners who want wireless phone mirroring plus streaming apps like YouTube, Netflix and JioCinema.
- Caveat: it works only with cars that already have factory-fitted wired CarPlay or Android Auto.
If your car already has wired Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and you are tired of plugging in the cable every single time, the Autofy K713C is built for exactly that annoyance, and it goes one step further by adding a full Android 12 system with the Play Store on top.
It sits between your phone and your car screen, turns that wired connection wireless, and then quietly becomes a little Android computer of its own. Below is our honest take after living with it, including the one caveat you must clear before you buy.
Turning wired CarPlay wireless, then adding a Play Store on top
Most factory CarPlay setups still expect a cable. The K713C plugs into that USB port once and stays there, so your phone connects over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi the moment you sit in the car. That is the core job, and it does it well. But the more interesting part is what Autofy has packed inside: this is a quad-core Cortex-A53 box running Android 12 with the Google Play Store built in. So beyond mirroring your phone, you can log in and install YouTube-style apps directly, we mean YouTube, Netflix and JioCinema, and stream them on the car display even when your phone is not driving the screen. If you have only ever used a plain wireless CarPlay dongle, this feels like a big jump.
The hardware backs it up. You get 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage, which is generous for this class of accessory and keeps apps from choking when you switch between navigation and music. Connectivity is Bluetooth 4.2 plus dual-band Wi-Fi on both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, so the video stream and the phone link do not fight over the same band. Autofy claims pairing that is about 60% faster than its earlier boxes, with auto-reconnect that picks up your phone the next time you drive without any tapping about. In daily use the reconnect is the feature you stop noticing, which is the whole point. It also ships with a 24-month warranty, which is longer than most rivals in this segment offer.
A quick note on expectations: streaming video is meant for when you are parked, and Autofy pitches the app side as a genuinely open Android experience rather than a locked-down mirror. If you want a stripped-back adapter that only does wireless CarPlay and nothing else, the cheaper K713A CarPlay box covers that. The K713C is for people who want the apps too.
K713C full Android box vs a plain wireless dongle
The short version: pick the K1 wireless adapter if you only want to cut the cable, and pick the K713C if you also want a proper apps and streaming box in the dashboard.

Who should buy it
- Owners whose cars already have wired CarPlay or Android Auto and want it wireless.
- Anyone who wants YouTube, Netflix or JioCinema on the car screen while parked.
- Buyers who want more headroom than a basic dongle, thanks to 4GB RAM and 32GB storage.
- People who value a longer 24-month warranty on an in-car accessory.
While you are kitting out the car, the same Autofy range covers the rest of the cabin: a V50 4K dash cam for the windscreen, a cordless car vacuum for quick clean-ups, and a 1200 GSM microfiber towel for wash day. Two-wheeler riders can look at the Motoplay 5 inch bike screen for CarPlay on the handlebar instead.
