I just found a life-changing car gadget at Kmart for $49 - and I had no idea such an item existed
Australian shoppers are heading to Kmart Australia stores in droves to snap up a new car transforming tech gadget. Cars fitted with wired Apple CarPlay can now be converted to a wireless Bluetooth set-up with the aid of the nifty Kmart Wireless CarPlay Adapter $49. The popular item has already sold out online and is listed as 'out of stock' at several Kmart stores. The online product description for the Bluetooth enabled device explains that it's a simple way to 'upgrade your drive' by offering an 'effortless way to enjoy CarPlay without the cables'. A recent viral TikTok video highlighting the ease of use of the device has delighted legions of shoppers. A video shared by Australian woman Jas to her TikTok account sees her explain that the bargain tech find is ideal for anyone who's 'sick to death' of having to use cords to connect their smart phone to their Apple CarPlay. In place of the messy cord set up, the video demonstrates how the compact Kmart Wireless CarPlay Adapter can simply be plugged into the car's USB portal and then connected to your smart phone via Bluetooth. Once set up, the phone will automatically connect to the in-car screen anytime you hop into the car. This means the instant ability to do things like change songs or adjust the volume using the steering wheel controls - just as you would if the device were plugged in and connected via a cord. The nifty and compact gadget plugs into your car's USB outlet. Once it's set-up and connected to your phone, it will recognise your device on CarPlay - without the need to plug it in via a cord The video quickly amassed over 672,000 views and 27,000 likes. The comments section was also filled with replies from excited shoppers who planned to upgrade their in-car setup with the clever device. 'The way I sprinted to the Kmart website!' read one reply. 'This is lifechanging,' added another. One already convinced customer wrote: 'I bought one a month ago. So good! Jump in and instant connection. Don't even take phone out of pocket. It's instant with no lag. Fantastic.' Those who had struggled with various issues while using a cord for their CarPlay were also pleased to learn about the Bluetooth adapter. 'I hate having the cord so this will be awesome,' replied one person. Another explained that their wired CarPlay regularly 'cuts out' on 'every bump or corner' while using a cord. 'I was livid but now I have hope,' they added. Other replies noted that the budget retailer's adapter was well-priced compared to similar ones on the market, which are generally upwards of $80. For Android phone users, commenters noted that the device appeared to be similarly compatible with Android Auto - despite the product name. However not everyone was convinced that switching from a wired to a wireless CarPlay set-up was a great idea. One person wrote: 'Wireless CarPlay delivers lower quality music. If you use Apple Music, wired CarPlay delivers CD quality audio.' Another agreed, explaining that they'd previously tried wireless CarPlay but reverted back to using the cord 'because of lag with music playback'. Others noted that they relied on the cord not only to connect to their CarPlay but also to simultaneously charge their phone, because their car didn't feature an in-built wireless charging pad. 'I use my cord to keep the phone charged,' confirmed one person. 'I hate the cord but it's the only thing keeping my iPhone 13 from running flat throughout the day,' read another reply. A third person noted: 'Wireless will chew ya battery. Use the cable and use the CarPlay and keep the phones battery full.'

China's rebound has a distinct cool factor: Taosha Wang
HONG KONG, July 28 (Reuters) - The first seven months of 2025 have delivered a whirlwind of news on Chinese technology and business, oscillating between anxiety and euphoria, but what has cut through the noise has been the emergence of a "cool factor". In January, TikTok suspended its U.S. services for one day, when the outgoing administration shut down the app due to its ties to China, before the decision was swiftly reversed by the incoming Trump administration. Days later, Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek shocked the world with its cost-effective, high-performance R-1 reasoning model, triggering an intense debate about who will lead the 'AI race'. And then in early May, U.S.-China tensions reached unprecedented heights, as tariffs jumped above 100%, effectively halting bilateral trade, before de-escalation. By summer, however, China was once again exporting critical rare earth to the U.S. and Nvidia had re-started the sales of its AI chips to China, suggesting a burgeoning trade detente between the world's two largest economies. Amid this volatility, China's capital markets have responded favorably. The MSCI China Index has surged around 25% year-to-date through July 25, outpacing the MSCI All-Country World index's 12% gain and the S&P 500 index's 9% rise. Notably, this strong performance has been driven not just by typical business-cycle fluctuations, but also an appeal rooted in innovation, collaboration and youth culture, suggesting China's next growth cycle could look very different from those in the past. China's evolution from low-cost imitator to global innovator is epitomized by its electric vehicle dominance. Chinese EV leader BYD, which began as a battery maker and currently has a market cap of $150 billion, was once dismissed by Elon Musk for its unattractive products and weak technology. However, a decade of development, supported by state-backed infrastructure including China's 10-million-strong charging network, has propelled BYD past Musk's Tesla in global sales. In 2024, one of every five EVs sold globally was from BYD, whose market share is now double that of Tesla's. Moreover, BYD's vehicles, like many other Chinese EVs, now boast the type of sleek designs and novel amenities associated with its U.S. rival. Beyond product innovations, some Chinese companies are also experimenting with new business models and sales strategies. For example, livestream social shopping, which was pioneered by Alibaba, has been adopted by Amazon, Instagram, YouTube and even Walmart (in collaboration with TikTok) in the U.S. to target Gen-Z and millennial shoppers. New players like Chinese toymaker Pop Mart are also experimenting with fresh business models. Its designer toys are sold in mystery boxes, where sealed packages conceal randomized plush "Labubu" figures, which adorn the luxury handbags of many influencers. This strategy seeks to tap into the thrill of uncertainty, creating viral demand beyond the Chinese domestic market. And this appears to be working. Pop Mart's sales from outside mainland China contributed to nearly 40% of its total revenue in 2024, and its profit in the first half of 2025 is expected to soar by at least 350% year-over-year. Historically, tensions surrounding intellectual property have dogged China's global trade relationships. Today, however, its embrace of open-source collaboration appears to signal a profound shift. China is now the fastest-growing and second-largest contributor of open-source code on GitHub, the world's leading platform for software collaboration. Moreover, Chinese tech giants like Huawei and Tencent rank among the top corporate sponsors of Apache and Linux foundations, major nonprofit organizations that shape foundational technologies like artificial intelligence and cloud computing. DeepSeek's R-1 model exemplifies this strategy. Released under the permissive MIT license, it grants large-scale commercial reuse rights (unlike Google's Apache 2.0 or Meta's Llama licenses) and has fueled countless derivative models globally. Such openness has the potential to build developer loyalty, influence AI standards, and circumvent geopolitical friction. This shift has been underpinned by a focus on developing scientific prowess. In 2024, China led the world in high-quality research publications, according to Nature, holding the top spot for the second consecutive year. Its advantage in publications extends even to semiconductor design and fabrication, a field where U.S. technological superiority is often assumed, with Chinese scholars authoring over half of the most-cited papers in this field in 2024. However, the outlook for the country's businesses is not all rosy. Industrial profits are still shrinking, falling 1.1% year-to-date, despite various government stimulus measures, including a recently expanded consumer subsidy scheme and a central bank-backed initiative for state-owned enterprises to buy unsold homes. And price wars in sectors such as EVs and food delivery have gotten so brutal that the authorities have stepped in to mediate 'irrational' competition. Another structural issue is the country's stubbornly high youth unemployment rate (16-24-year olds excluding students), which remained at 14.5% - well above the 5% rate for the labor force as a whole. If China's future growth is to be driven more by a 'cool' factor, then the career prospects of its youth need to be strong enough to support their distinct consumption preferences as well as their entrepreneurial endeavors. Regardless of these challenges, innovation and open collaboration still have the potential to reshape China's global identity. Importantly, economic growth driven by these factors may be more evenly distributed and idiosyncratic, and therefore less cyclical, compared to China's old economic engines of real estate, infrastructure and production capacity investments. No longer just the world's factory, China is becoming a source of culturally resonant innovation. And as America's track record over the past decades suggests, no one should underestimate the value of cool.
