We discovered today in stores an original multimedia system for your car called CarlinKit FireDrive Link Pro, a system that allows you to use a Fire TV-Stick on the front screen.
Thanks to this original system we can attach the Amazon Fire TV-Stick to the base that comes in the package and wire as indicated in the manual. For it to work we need our car to be compatible with the Apple CarPlay system with cable, then we can connect to CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. A device that in this version only requires connecting it to the USB-C port of our car and feed the stick with another USB port or cigarette lighter to power it.
Configuring this Stick is simple, the whole system is plug and play, connect and go. It is also possible to connect to the internet to receive OTA system updates.
CarlinKit FireDrive Link Pro Specifications
This new CarlinKit FireDrive Link Pro is compatible with a large number of Fire TV-Sticks, from the simplest to the most powerful we have seen in our reviews. Through the micro USB OTG adapter and the front HDMI port it is easy to transmit the video signal to the screen of our car. To control it we will use the Bluetooth remote control of the Fire TV-Stick itself and we can also give it orders with Alexa.
To use it we just have to connect it physically with its cables, it does not support wireless system. For it to work it must be a screen compatible with Apple CarPlay. Once the connection is established we will not have to repeat the installation process again.
