Twelve South has debuted its new Airfly Drive for those who are tired of tangled cabless in their cars. This tiny adapter brings a simple way to add wireless smartphone connectivity to your vehicle. It lets you use Apple software and Android Auto right on your car’s built in screen.

You just plug it in and it links up with CarPlay to work with your car’s normal screen, buttons, and steering wheel controls. The gadget has a small aluminum body meant to stay plugged in all the time.
