Of course, the product installed easily enough, even without having read the directions but I notice a little lag when selecting an on screen icon or CarPlay option that I don't experience with wired CarPlay. I understand that this might be the price of using it wirelessly but for the price they are charging for this device, it is not worth it to me and the experience that I've had with customer service make me not willing to try and troubleshoot the problem. It is preferable to me to purchase one from a different manufacturer and start over again. I recommend the same.
Pros: I’ve had it for maybe a week. It paired and connected right away as advertised. It connects pretty fast. I can use my Waze or other gps apps with no issue. That’s the main reason I got it. I travel a lot and don’t like over charging my phone to use Apple CarPlay. So it works great for that.
It also works well with Spotify, Music and SoundCloud. Youtube is ok as well but I’ll go over the cons with this below.
Con’s: YouTube is fine, but there will be maybe a few second delay with the audio and video. Not a deal breaker since you should be driving anyway and not focusing as much on the video.
Like wired CarPlay, this also disconnects and glitches out once in a blue. A few times I couldn’t hear audio from music apps. That’s the annoying part especially while driving.
Troubleshooting: Sometimes it takes a bit to connect. Sometimes unplugging and plugging back in does the trick. Other times restarting the car or disconnecting and reconnecting Bluetooth button on the phone will get it to work. It normally is fine for a few days before it glitches.
Final Thoughts: I’d say it’s worth it especially if you get it for in the $60’s or less. I’m happy with it. You get the same disconnect issues with a cord, but at the end of the day, there’s no cord. No over charging and dealing with faulty cables. You only need a cable if you want to fast charge the phone in the car and unplug when you’re done without losing CarPlay features. If you have a wireless charger, you still have that. I doubt any of the more expensive versions do much better than this for the price. I wouldn’t pay over $70 for this but it’s definitely a good tool and I’m overall pleased. Would definitely recommend.
I give it 4/5 stars bc it works well enough for me with the price and once you’ve gotten troubleshooting down, it’s not that big of a deal when you get the glitches or disconnects.

Excelente producto conectaba muy rápido antes tenia un CarPlay que tardaba en conectar y a veces no conectaba lo volví a instalar el cual funciona mal pero funciona
Simple self solve… Tapped Bluetooth device on my iPhone. Message popped ‘Please delete and reconnect. It disappeared and nothing showed. I turned my iPhone Bluetooth off/ on, it showed up instantly. I paired it again… showed up instantly.
On a VW Golf, soon as you unlock the door, the USB powers the device up as you’re getting in and connects to the phone. By the time I had turned car on, the screen showed CarPlay with it in my pocket still.
Anybody complaining of delays to connect. Remember, you don’t have to plug it in and wait for it to start up CarPlay and connect. It’s actually a timesaver… and hugely convenient.
After turning off the car, it stays connected to the device as the USB power doesn’t drop until 30 sec after the car locks. By the time you’re inside it’s powered down. And connects to home wifi again.
BYW… It is a pass through device for CARPLAY, not a separate system and not for Android Auto. They have other models that do both and for direct connection pass through.
If you want to charge your phone also, use another usb point, or get an aux power to USB plug. Or
Buy the other model with power pass through.
Only thing I’d ask for is to be able to change/hide WiFi name and default 8888888 password so others can’t connect to the WiFi. - but this may be possible, I’m going to ask support and will update, and confirm IF others COULD connect to it by chance with the generic password while you are driving around. But will update with the answer.
No complaints. Micro lag yes, it’s not wired, just like wireless vs cable to computer… but scrolling maps, swiping screen and playing music… no issues.
