Q1M Wireless CarPlay Adapter For Android 12 And Above
A 10 g ABS adapter specified from Android 12.0, for markets with older handsets.

Why Buyers Specify This Model
Android 12.0 Floor
One generation lower than the Q1BU, Q1BD, Q1A, Q1AS and Q1F, which widens the addressable handset base.
10 g ABS
Light and cost-effective, one gram above the Q1BU.
Shared V851S Platform
The same CPU as most of the range, so distributors keep one firmware support path.
Straight Plug And Play
USB powered at 5V 1A to 2.1A with no wiring and no installer time.
Problems It Solves
Customers Return Adapters Their Phone Will Not Run
An Android 12.0 floor cuts the share of handsets that fall below the requirement.
You Cannot Assume Everyone Has A New Phone
In many markets the average handset is several years old, and the compatibility line decides the sale.
Premium Shells Price You Out
ABS at 10 g on the proven V851S keeps the landed cost low.
