Magic Box Versus Dongle: Tested Streaming, Wireless, Car Play Showdown The LAMTTO 3-in-1 Magic Video Box impressed us with its versatility, seamlessly blending streaming and wireless connectivity for both Netflix, YouTube, and TikTok. Setting it up was straightforward, though the included USB drive felt slightly underpowered—mirroring experiences many of us had with diagrammed diagrams. We particularly admired its dual compatibility with OEM Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, syncing effortlessly in our test cars. The wireless CarPlay feature worked well enough, though we noticed occasional buffering during high-motion playback. While the wireless adapter dongle was convenient for its simplicity, the Magic Box’s bundled solutions—minus the touted "3-in-1" magic—offered practical value. Ultimately, the trade-off between portability and performance came down to preference, with us leaning toward the Magic Box for its multifaceted utility.
