OTTOCAST automotive wireless adapter developments

Overview

OTTOCAST has expanded its automotive accessory offerings through new product launches and promotional campaigns.

In August 2026, the company released the ‘CarPlay Clip’, a wireless adapter for vehicles with factory-installed wired Apple CarPlay. This device is characterized as the first wireless CarPlay adapter to include a built-in small circular display, which can be customized via the ‘OttoPilot’ app to show time, album art, or photos.

In early September 2026, OTTOCAST held a limited-time campaign for its Mini series of wireless adapters during the Rakuten Super SALE. Running from September 4 to September 11, the promotion offered the Mini Core, Mini Pico, and Mini Nova models at up to half price, with additional discounts available via coupons. These compact adapters convert wired CarPlay and Android Auto systems into wireless connections, featuring physical buttons for smartphone switching or aluminum alloy bodies for heat dissipation.

On September 10, 2026, the company launched the OttoSafe Cam, a 2-in-1 device integrating a dash camera with a wireless CarPlay and Android Auto adapter. The device features a 2K resolution front camera and a 1080P rear camera, supported by a G-sensor for emergency recording and a 24-hour parking monitor function. To mark the launch, a promotional campaign offering approximately 43% off the original price is available on Amazon Japan through September 30, 2026.
