The level of connectivity available in the most modern vehicles is reaching unprecedented limits, offering us a range of possibilities that, however, are often limited by the manufacturers themselves.
We analyze the new Pairr Max Pro, a wireless device that lets you enjoy Netflix or YouTube in any car compatible with CarPlay or Android Auto.
Pairr (GetPairr) is a brand that offers connectivity options for the most modern vehicles. Originally, they focused on providing wireless connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in vehicles that didn't have this feature built in.
Little by little they have been scaling their business model, now offering alternatives with their own operating system that will allow us to run applications from an Android fork, such as Netflix, YouTube and even watch live IPTV.
Materials and design
This is a device that, from the outside, appears simple and small. The construction materials are simple: black plastic with a coating on the top to better withstand the test of time. The sides are perforated to provide better ventilation for the Pairr Max Pro, while on one short end we have a USB-A port, in case we want to connect storage elements, leaving the USB-C connection port on the other side.
We don't have much more to say about the manufacturing, simply that in its unboxing, something simple, We'll also find the dual connection cable, that is, one USB-C to USB-C and another USB-C to USB-A, so we don't lack options. However, we should mention that these cables are a bit short, not even half a meter in total.
Configuration
plug and play This Pairr Max Pro is extremely simple. Simply plug the cable into any of your vehicle's CarPlay or Android Auto-compatible ports and enjoy.
Later on, especially if we want to enjoy CarPlay or Android Auto wirelessly, We will have to connect to the Pairr's Bluetooth, as well as to the internal WiFi network that Pairr itself generates, all of this according to the name of the network that appears on the screen the first time we connect.
Using the Pairr Max Pro
It's worth noting something very important: the Pairr Max Pro doesn't support downloading additional apps. You can only run Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and an IPTV provider to which you'll need to add your playlists.
In this sense, the Pairr Max Pro Operating System is quite limited. Its main function, let's not forget, is to serve as a bridge between our car's screen and our mobile device, thus offering us the possibility of enjoying Apple CarPlay and Android Auto completely wirelessly.
Otherwise, as with other devices with similar features, the performance is extremely spectacular. I would even say it's faster than alternatives integrated into the vehicle itself. Performance is smooth, with no stuttering or interruptions that can feel annoying or undesirable.
The product It costs around €70 at its official retail outlet, a relatively low price considering its features. However, There are cheaper alternatives on the market Except for Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, all of these options will allow you to enjoy Apple CarPlay wirelessly. Now it's up to you to decide which of these alternatives is worth considering.
