Hold the cable for car video

This product definitely does what it says on the tin - wireless CarPlay. Setup is easy if you can follow the on-screen instructions. I drive a 2019 Honda Civic Coupe Touring - this device automatically STARTS the connection when you start the car, it takes about 2 minutes to "boot". There were a couple of instances where it wouldn't connect at all or completely hung up while running. The audio delay for music is about 1-3 seconds when you "skip" tracks or watch videos (of course, complaints from passengers or not driving). A phone call I made was accompanied by significant delays. Sometimes the buttons on the steering wheel work, sometimes they don't. There's an odd disconnect when using Apple Maps GPS - the redirection doesn't always happen and the location dot gets stuck, forcing me to either pull out my phone or try restarting the navigation. This strikes me as particularly risky and potentially dangerous. The technical support via "WhatsApp" needs almost a full 24 hours for each individual answer. its overall performance is by no means worth the price.

Pros
  • New
Cons
