2-in-1 Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Wireless Adapter, 5.8 GHz Wireless AA Wireless Carplay Dongle for Wired Apple Carplay & Android Car Converts Wired to Wireless Fast and Easy Use Fit

I've gone through several different versions of this. They just seem to stop working after a while. I've had this one about a year and it's still working good.

Device looked decent. I have a '19 Sonata, CarPlay works fine wired. Plugged this device in, connected the Wifi and BT without issue, made sure it's in CarPlay mode, then... nothing. There's only those connections that I can tell, only the one button, so not alot of switches or anything to work with, headunit just didn't recognize that anything was connected. Returned.

Over the past 2 years, I've bought 5 different devices like this. The previous best performer was the Motorola for Android Auto on my 2018 Volt, but still suffered from decently long boot-up times and sometimes drop audio. I bought this on a whim. It connects and boots up faster than the Motorola. It's also smaller.... It's also cheaper.If you need a device that actually works for your Android phone to run wireless Android Auto from a car capable of wired, then grab this.

Why does Amazon allow trash like this to be sold in their website? Don't waste your money or time on this piece of junk. Doesn't do what it claims. I have a 2018 VW Golf R and followed the limited instructions, and it won't connect. Followed the instructions from the vide of the guy here with a Toyota and it doesn't work that way. It doesn't display a Soomfon screen on my stereo. This is just an absolute piece of rubbish! Returned!

A little finicky to install. Instructions are teeny tiny print in an itty bitty book. Barely make sense. When it is operating, the device does a great job. All of the functions are identical to what the Bronco Sport offers with Android Auto when used with a cord. We have found that the device auto-starts about 70% of the time immediately, about 20% of the time after a few moments of driving, and about 10% of the time, we have to pull the plug on the dongle and then plug it back in. A few times, we have had to re-pair it with BlueTooth (while parked safely). The device also seems to have a hard time hearing verbal instructions compared to using it when wired. We often have to repeat the spoken navigation destination, just as an example. It sometimes works, but sometimes, it cannot seem to hear our spoken words. I'd opt for another different brand and model next time and would not recommend this unit.Update 9-27-23. After more use, the unit continued to fail to start automatically. I have been offered a full refund and accepted it. I assume the company saw my review. I consider this great customer service and am under no obligation to edit this review.

Would not complete connection had to send back , on to another one

Read the instructions first. It's not immediately apparent you need to manually hold the button for 8 seconds the toggle between Apple Carplay and Android Auto modes.Once it's connected, the video stream works fine. It does take roughly 30 seconds after the start of the engine / ACC to connect to the car's android auto system.Audio playback is sometimes jittering. Not sure if it is the dongle or my car or the cable. I lacked the necessary tools to root cause. The audio works flawlessly when I connect by wire / bluetooth though.

I just got it this morning and had it setup in 2 mins. So far it seems to work great. It connects fast. So far I recommend this product if anything changes as time goes ill update my review
