Ottocast Play2Video Ultra – The Ultimate All-In-One Adapter

Today we had the privilege of testing and trying out the new Ottocast Play2Video Ultra. We thoroughly enjoyed playing with the new product which really enhances the in-car entertainment experience and sells itself as the ultimate ‘cable decluttering’ device.

Let’s go through it by evaluating the following areas:

What is it and why would you want it?

This device allows you to play content and online video from your car’s screen. By syncing your phone to the device, via Bluetooth, it creates a cable free entertainment system right to your car’s screen, and completely declutters the front console.

If you are a lover of films, Netflix, IPTV streaming, YouTube, and so on…then this is perfect for you. Accessing such a library of content, from your phone, via this device feels great, and after spending a few days with it so far, it has got a big thumbs up from my wife and kids. They love it.

Feel

We have come to learn from Ottocast that their products and packaging always seem and feel very premium, especially for the reasonable price. The designed is well refined, classy and is small enough to stay discreet. The device feels robust, durable and made of quality components.

Price

Priced at $109, it feels very reasonable when you consider many of the factors here. For what this device brings to your in-car entertainment experience, to decluttering the car of cables, down to the connectivity. Compared to the competition, the Ottocast delivers an unrivalled and seamless experience allowing video to be played, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connection.

Connectivity / SImplicity

Connectivity is simple simple simple. For the technophobes and impatient people out there, this device is comfortingly simple and quick to set up. From taking it out of the box, plugging into the in-car USB port, and then connecting to my phone’s Bluetooth, it took approximately 30 seconds, I didn’t even bother with the manual. I know, tut tut. Of course the easy-to-follow manual is there for those who prefer to play by the rules.

Once using the device the interface is similar to modern expectations, with touchscreen app access. The Play2Video Ultra is the ultimate ‘plug and play’ device so want no cables and simplicity in their driving experience.

Summary

We recommend this in-car entertainment device for its fair price, but mostly for the premium experience and ability to play video in your car’s screen. Just plug and go – it’s really that simple. We really enjoyed the premium durability and design, plus the fact it completely extinguishes the age of phone cables cluttering the car, which is one of my pet hates. Overall, the Ottocast Play2Video gets a thumbs up from us and is an awesome addition to your car (as long as you have a screen at your front console).
