Focus On Connecting
MaedHawk makes compact connection devices for everyday gear that needs a small bridge, not a full replacement.
Its Bluetooth adapter background reaches back to 2008, and the brand still favors practical, low-bulk hardware built around one specific connection problem at a time.

MaedHawk Bypass 2.0 Motorcycle CarPlay Adapter
For compatible motorcycles that already have CarPlay or Android Auto but will not open the feature until a Bluetooth headset is paired, Bypass 2.0 handles that headset-presenting step. It is a small USB-C adapter for riders who want the bike’s built-in screen features without carrying a separate headset just to satisfy the system.
The passthrough USB-C port keeps phone charging in the setup, with support up to 45W. It is the right fit when the bike already has supported CarPlay or Android Auto and only needs the headset check cleared. For unsupported bikes, wireless conversion, or microphone-based calls and voice assistants, choose a different kind of adapter.

MaedHawk Bluetooth 5.3 Rotatable AUX Receiver
A strong daily pick for making an existing AUX input wireless. The bendable, 180-degree 3.5 mm plug helps the receiver sit cleanly in tight dashboard ports, speaker backs, and headphone-style setups instead of jutting out at a fixed angle.
Bluetooth 5.3, dual-device pairing, hands-free calls, navigation audio, and up to 10 hours of use make it the more current all-rounder in the AUX pair. It also works while charging over USB-C, which helps when the receiver stays plugged in for longer drives or desk audio.

MaedHawk Bluetooth 5.2 AUX Adapter
Choose this AUX adapter when hands-on control matters as much as the wireless upgrade. It adds Bluetooth music and hands-free calls through a 3.5 mm input, with a rotatable jack that can fit more neatly into car, truck, home stereo, or headphone ports.
The advantage is the button layout on the adapter itself: call, volume, and track controls are right on the device, so the phone does not have to be the only control point. It supports A2DP, dual-device pairing, about 8.5-9 hours of runtime, and playback while connected to USB-C power.

MaedHawk 5.9-Inch 240W USB-C Cable
A short USB-C cable for close-range setups where extra length just creates clutter. It fits compact connections such as phone to charger, laptop to dock, external SSD, tablet, or travel gear packed close together.
For its size, the spec set is substantial: up to 240W Power Delivery, 40Gbps data transfer, and 8K/60Hz video output on compatible USB-C equipment. In this lineup, it is the tidy high-power, high-speed accessory rather than another audio adapter.

MaedHawk Product Line
MaedHawk focuses on three connection jobs: opening supported motorcycle screen features, adding Bluetooth to AUX audio, and keeping short USB-C power or data runs tidy.
Motorcycle CarPlay Bypass Adapters
These adapters fit compatible motorcycle infotainment systems that already support CarPlay or Android Auto but need a headset-presenting device before those features activate. USB-C passthrough and bundle options keep the setup centered on the bike screen, phone connection, and charging path.
Bluetooth AUX Audio Receivers
MaedHawk’s AUX receivers add Bluetooth music and calling to older 3.5 mm car and home audio inputs. The practical choice comes down to Bluetooth version, jack shape, controls, microphone features, and whether the receiver needs to keep working while charging.
Short USB-C and Charging Accessories
The USB-C accessories suit close-device setups where a short cable or charging-through path keeps the connection neat. The standalone short cable supports up to 240W Power Delivery, 40Gbps data transfer, and 8K/60Hz output with compatible devices.
Customer Reviews
Once it was paired with the bike, the setup felt much simpler than carrying a separate headset just to open the screen features. The small adapter is easy to tuck away, and startup is quick enough that it feels like part of the ride instead of another thing to manage. Setup can still depend on the motorcycle system, but the main job is clear.
MaedHawk customer
I bought one of the AUX receivers to keep an older stereo useful without replacing the whole system. The angled plug makes a real difference in a tight port, and having music, calls, and simple controls on a small adapter is exactly what I needed. It is not fancy, but it makes wired audio gear feel current again.

Common Questions
Does MaedHawk Bypass 2.0 add CarPlay or Android Auto to a motorcycle?
No. Bypass 2.0 is for motorcycle infotainment systems that already support CarPlay or Android Auto and require a paired Bluetooth headset before those features activate.
It satisfies that headset requirement. It does not add CarPlay or Android Auto to systems that do not already support them.
Does Bypass 2.0 convert wired CarPlay or Android Auto to wireless?
No. It does not turn wired CarPlay or Android Auto into a wireless system. The motorcycle still needs its own supported CarPlay or Android Auto setup.
Can Bypass 2.0 be used as a microphone for Siri, Google Assistant, or phone calls?
No. Bypass 2.0 is not a microphone for Siri, Google Assistant, or phone calls. Its role is to present as the Bluetooth headset required by compatible motorcycle infotainment systems.
Can I charge my phone through the Bypass adapter?
Yes. Bypass 2.0 has USB-C passthrough charging and supports up to 45W.
Connect the Bypass adapter first, then connect the charging cable. If charging does not start, flip the cable orientation at the passthrough port.
What should I check if Bypass 2.0 does not activate CarPlay?
Check that the Bypass adapter appears as connected in the motorcycle’s device manager and that its role is set to Rider.
Also make sure the MaedHawk adapter is paired to the motorcycle, not directly to the phone. The phone should connect to the bike’s system through the normal CarPlay setup.
Is the Bypass adapter waterproof?
No. Keep the adapter away from rain and damp environments.
What are MaedHawk Bluetooth AUX receivers used for?
They add Bluetooth audio to devices with a 3.5 mm AUX input, including car stereos, home speakers, and wired audio gear.
They are receivers, not Bluetooth transmitters. They are not meant to send audio to Bluetooth headphones, AirPods, airplane systems, or other devices that need a transmitter.
Can the Bluetooth AUX receivers work while charging?
Yes. The Bluetooth 5.3 AUX receiver can work while charging over USB-C. The Bluetooth 5.2 X4 Pro receiver can also keep playing while connected to USB-C power.
Which AUX receiver is better if I switch between two devices?
Both AUX receivers support connecting two Bluetooth devices.
Choose the Bluetooth 5.3 BTR007 for the newer Bluetooth version, longer listed runtime, and bendable jack. Choose the Bluetooth 5.2 X4 Pro if on-adapter controls for calls, volume, and tracks matter more.
What is the short USB-C cable best for?
The 5.9-inch USB-C cable is useful when two devices sit close together and a full-length cable would add clutter, such as phone to charger, laptop to dock, external SSD, tablet, or compact travel setup.
It supports up to 240W Power Delivery, 40Gbps data transfer, and 8K/60Hz video output with compatible USB-C equipment.
