Ordering this $20 adapter to see what it has to offer. I've used CarPlay adapters that cost around $100, and almost all of them have a 2-second audio delay—for example, when changing tracks, playing, or pausing.

I don't think audio gets plumbed through the adapter itself so it's probably the delay in your head units Bluetooth system. I could be wrong though

If I'm playing audio via CarPlay and change tracks (songs) then the reason for lag while changing the tracks is attributed to the adapter latency.

Audio latency isn't the reason for that.

There might be an input delay in the Bluetooth or some kind of buffering going on, but it isn't latency specifically.

Latency would be if you were playing video and the audio was out of sync.

Delay when changing the tracks is because of the latency of the adapter.


Even this happens.

You're misunderstanding what latency is.

It could be buffering, but it isn't latency specifically.

Moreover, the Bluetooth protocols used for input (changing tracks) is different than the one for outputting audio.

Try connecting a Bluetooth keyboard to your device and see if it exhibits similar delays with input.

Not because of buffering definitely.

Already answered above

Another point is, when I disconnect everything (wired, wireless CarPlay) and use plain Bluetooth for songs and video using my phone. There is no delay in
1. Changing tracks (it happens instantly)
2. No out of sync video-audio.

You can find generic adapters on Amazon for $20-30. This one does carplay and AA https://a.co/d/1fn2H4i
