Entering this with modest expectations due to its price point, I was primarily interested in streaming Spotify through my truck’s older stereo system. This device exceeded my anticipations by far, offering quick and easy connectivity. It reconnects to my phone within 15 seconds of ignition and resumes playback exactly where I left off. Its navigation features are intuitive, with seamless integration of Spotify and map notifications. This has been a surprisingly satisfying purchase.

Initially, I overlooked the “Wireless” aspect in its description, and was surprised to find only a USB-C charging port upon receipt. My initial concern was quickly alleviated when I discovered it could wirelessly connect to CarPlay via Bluetooth. Although the controls for song selection are a tad slow—a common Bluetooth trait—this didn’t diminish its appeal for those seeking a wire-free CarPlay experience. For charging, I simply use an additional USB port in my car. The device can also be powered via your car’s USB port, eliminating the need for the cigarette lighter socket. /The screen display is particularly attractive, and while the cables provided are quite long, they’re manageable with some organization. Based on my experience thus far, I’d recommend it and plan to provide updates if any issues arise or if there’s notable information to share.

Facing the classic Jeep dilemma, my Wrangler’s radio ceased functioning a year ago, with repair costs quoted near $1000. Choosing this device as an alternative has been a game-changer, equipping my vehicle with navigation and Apple CarPlay features for the first time. Its portability is a bonus, allowing me to use it in my classic Corvette as well. Its versatility across vehicles makes it an economical choice, eliminating the need for multiple new stereo systems. Just a few days in, and it’s performing splendidly.

An excellent workaround that’s simple to set up and use. It offers tremendous value, especially for those looking to avoid replacing their car’s entire stereo system. Plus, it’s portable, making it ideal for use in rental cars as well.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I tested this device on a longer trip and it performed flawlessly, especially the wireless CarPlay feature. I’m still exploring the screen mirroring capabilities for videos, but even without that, I’m very satisfied.

This device has been a game-changer for me, seamlessly integrating with Android Auto. The Bluetooth connectivity is impressively stable, offering a smooth, lag-free experience. I appreciate the flexibility in the settings that allow for sound output through the car’s audio system or Bluetooth headphones. Discovering this earlier would have been great!

My older Acura TSX comes with a leather-ridged dashboard that complicates mounting anything with adhesive. Fortunately, the included suction cup mount proved to be an effective solution, securing the device perfectly.

So far, my experience with this device has been positive and certainly justifies the price. My Pixel 6 Pro synced up in mere moments, and the connection to Android Auto was impressively swift and wireless. I haven’t had the chance to test its compatibility with iPhones or its screen brightness in sunlight, particularly for motorcycle use. I’m aware it’s not designed to be waterproof, but I’m hoping a simple Ziploc bag will suffice in a pinch. The built-in speaker isn’t particularly strong, which is a common issue, but given the options for Bluetooth, FM transmission, or an AUX connection, it’s hardly a dealbreaker.

This device has impressively boosted my car’s audio system, delivering excellent performance with CarPlay for navigation, music, and more. It’s the most affordable option I’ve come across without compromising on quality, prompting me to purchase another for my second vehicle.

Connecting it to my phone via Bluetooth was a breeze. Setting the output as an FM station on my car’s radio, I can easily toggle between this device and local radio. The screen mirroring function worked flawlessly with my iPhone, even allowing YouTube video playback. Previously, I’d constantly forget my phone in the car holder due to using its GPS. Now, I can keep my phone in my pocket, relying on this device to connect automatically—a real convenience.

I snagged this incredible device to integrate CarPlay into my Jeep, and it couldn’t have been easier to set up—functioning flawlessly right from the start. It was a steal during a sale, and I couldn’t recommend it more for anyone wanting to modernize their older vehicle with CarPlay. Their customer service was on point too, responding to my inquiries within half a day. Truly, a top-notch product backed by a company that cares.

While still in the early days of use, my preliminary tests in the driveway have shown this gadget to perform even better than my wife’s built-in car system. Unlike her setup, I appreciate not needing a direct connection to access its features. Audio playback can be routed through the device’s screen or the car’s speakers, depending on my preference. The only drawback is the absence of an AUX input in my car, requiring me to rely on FM transmission for audio.

As an owner of a 2004 Impreza, this has been an exciting enhancement. It operates flawlessly, though it becomes temperamental in cold weather, affecting the screen’s functionality. A simple fix is to disconnect, wait briefly, and restart the system.

Straight out of the package, it was plug-and-play, requiring power from the cigarette lighter. Connecting my iPhone via Bluetooth was straightforward. Despite having an aftermarket Kenwood eXcelon radio, the device maintained a connection to my phone while also connecting to the car’s radio. Even when opting for a USB cable connection for charging, the device stayed connected via Bluetooth. It automatically turns on and off with the car, reconnecting to my iPhone each time. This has been an excellent acquisition, and I highly recommend it.

Installing this was a breeze, taking no more than three minutes in my daughter’s 2013 compact car. She’s thrilled with the wireless CarPlay feature, something my expensive, newer SUV lacks. It connects effortlessly to the car’s audio through Bluetooth, offering incredible value and simplicity.

Upon connecting it to the cigarette lighter and syncing my phone, I was able to navigate maps and stream music through my truck’s speakers via FM transmission. However, the clarity of phone calls, both outgoing and incoming, was less than ideal.
