After seeing some mixed reviews here and on Facebook I was a bit skeptical how it would work. However, I figured worst case scenario I'd go back to Revain and get a refund if I'm not satisfied. I've had it for about 3 weeks now, use it every day and am very happy with it. The one-time setup was easy and triggered an automatic firmware update for the Carlinkit device. Now when I start my F-150 it shows a new home screen for a few seconds while the Carlinkit device finds my iPhone, then CarPlay turns on and I do nothing. The same features you get with the Ford Sync system via CarPlay, you get with this one. My F-150 has 2 USB ports on the dash; So I guess the Carlinkit device also has a USB port. This means I can connect my wireless charger and Carlinkit device to the same USB port and leave the USB port free for passenger use. I rated this 4 stars for two reasons. A rating of 4.5 is probably a fairer rating. 1/ There is a very small delay between performing tasks like skipping a song, pressing the play/pause button, etc. I mean, very small - about a second. Enough to notice, but not enough to really be a problem. 2/ In the 3 weeks of using it multiple times a day, there was one instance where it wouldn't connect to my phone and therefore wouldn't start CarPlay. That doesn't really bother me either because even when I'm using the Ford Sync 3 with the Lightning cable plugged into my iPhone, it's happened a few times too. The difference here was that with Carlinkit I could press a button on the Carlinkit home screen to find my phone. With the Ford Sync system, in this case I had to stop the car, switch off the engine and start it again. I would definitely buy this product again if it were to damage anything.
