Wireless CarPlay Adapter
The media could not be loaded. The procedure for installation was shockingly simple, and I was able to be up and running in almost no time at all. Because of its small size, the adapter may be inserted into the car's current USB port without drawing attention to itself, preserving the sophisticated appearance of the cabin. The magic began to unfold as soon as I linked my iPhone to the adaptor. My phone is able to maintain a secure connection with the help of the adapter, which completely eliminates the need for bulky wires. This newly discovered liberty not only makes the process of setting up easier but also makes driving a safer experience overall. No more fiddling about with cables or being distracted by other things; now I can give my whole attention to the path in front of me. The audio quality has not lost any of its sharpness or clarity, and the user interface is very snappy. The seamless connection between my phone and the infotainment system in my vehicle is a tribute to the effectiveness of the product. This integration allows me to access navigation, make calls, and enjoy my favorite playlists regardless of what I'm doing on my phone. This high degree of accessibility is illustrative of the adapter's adaptability and demonstrates the company's dedication to enhancing the driving experience for a diverse group of end customers. It is a connection between the present and the past, giving older models of automobiles a second lease on life by bringing them up to date with the most recent technological breakthroughs.

Worked, but….
Update 4/27/22: This dongle is now completely useless. Original review was about two to three weeks ago and since then, the problem of freezing up and losing connection has gotten worse. I’ve taken the unit out of my center storage area to ensure it does not overheat (see original details below) but that did absolutely nothing for it. Checking through other reviews here, it would appear that the average lifespan of this dongle is about 2.5 months. Way less in some cases. The fact that the return window is shorter than other products I’ve ever had to return may be a hint as to the reliability of this item. One thing is for sure… The company is making a killing at the price-point. Unacceptable in my opinion. I wouldn’t pay $40 for this. And with no ability to return it due to it failing outside the return window in most cases, our only recourse appears to be this review system. Downgrading to one star based on failure and absolutely no costumer support whatsoever.———————————————————————I’ve had this dongle in my 2021 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye for about 3 months. Initial connection on startup is fairly quick (about 10-15 seconds) and touchscreen response has a very slight delay of about 1-2 seconds, which is very tolerable. All CarPlay apps work perfectly fine while the unit is online.Pros:The “tether-free” aspect is great. I personally don’t like a spaghetti knot of cables all over my center console.One huge plus in my case is the advantage of control over certain functions that are not available (for safety reasons) when hardwire-connected to my car. Namely, selecting different playlists other than what is currently active on your phone at the time of connection. While hardwired, for example, if I had “Playlist A” active, all songs within that playlist could be manipulated fully (play, pause, skip, etc.) via the car’s touchscreen. But if I wanted to go from “Playlist A” to “Playlist B” it required me to take my phone out of my pocket and select the newly desired playlist. With this dongle, that goes away and you can fully bounce from playlist to playlist, and even type different location searches on apps like Waze or Maps without the need to pre-select any of that prior to your drive, directly on the touchscreen. Also, I simply leave this plugged into my center console storage compartment connected to an “always on” USB power source. The current draw is so low that I (thankfully) haven’t had any issues with battery draining so far. I have left it plugged in for 4 days straight without starting the car and, so far so good. Not having to constantly plug it in and unplug it every time makes things very convenient.Cons:In reasonably warmer temperatures (nothing too hot) after about 15 minutes or so, the unit freezes. All music stops and any routes I have active in my navigation apps cease. The unit pretty much dies and becomes unresponsive altogether. The only remedy is to unplug it for about 10 seconds and then plug it back in. It will then work fine for about 15 more minutes or so, and then the cycle continues. For short trips this wouldn’t be an issue, but with my commute being 45 minutes to an hour one way each day, this gets pretty annoying. It’s to the point that I am considering doing away with this and going back to hardwire connection. I have noted that this happens more when it is hot. Maybe the unit overheats and just ceases? In cooler temperatures, it does not happen too much, if at all.Overall, I am satisfied with how it works WHEN it works. I just wish the reliability was better. Of note, I have updated firmware and take extremely good care of this unit.

Easy for 2017 Ford with IPhone
I purchased this with some trepidation, because the last one I bought from a different manufacturer didn’t work. This one was a breeze. I plugged it in, connect via Bluetooth, and I was up and going within 3 to 4 minutes. Perfect.And so far, so good. There is no lag from when I used to plug my iPhone in with the cord.It seems to take a minute or two to link when you first turn the car on. I think my phone may need to be unlocked for that connection to occur but too soon to know.
