P3 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto USB Hub Retrofit Kit
I recently tested the P3 wireless adapter to see if it could truly modernize the aging infotainment system in a pre-CarPlay Mazda. This kit replaces the factory USB hub, transforming the vehicle's interface into a seamless gateway for smartphone integration.
Performance & Build Quality
The build quality of the P3 hub is surprisingly robust, feeling essentially identical to original equipment manufacturer components. It is designed specifically to integrate with the existing wiring harness of various Mazda models, ensuring a fit that feels factory-installed rather than like an aftermarket add-on.
Day-to-Day Experience
Once installed, the daily experience is defined by the convenience of wireless connectivity, as your phone automatically pairs and launches your preferred navigation or music apps upon starting the car. While the installation requires some technical effort to reach the hub, the learning curve for the actual interface is nonexistent since it relies on the familiar Apple or Android software.
This is the perfect upgrade for any Mazda owner tired of dealing with tangled wires and outdated infotainment software.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the P3 kit earns its 4.81 rating by delivering exactly what it promises—a smoother, safer, and more connected driving experience. At $79.00, it is a small investment that breathes significant new life into a vehicle that might otherwise feel behind the times.
