Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works perfectly so far.

Been using it on my 2020 XC90 for 2 days. I followed the instructions that came with it and got it up and running in less than 5 minutes. Subsequent drives are automatically connected simultaneously using a traditional Bluetooth connection. Music playback and app functionality was impeccable, a bit crazy that automakers just don't build this in automatically. But so far I'm very happy with it. My wife hasn't synced her phone to it yet and I'm concerned about how it will look on trips where we're both in the car and the device needs to select one of the phones for it to work. The entertainment system would know which phone to use via Bluetooth based on the driver profile involved, but there would be no way to pass that on to that dongle, which would know which phone to pair with. Anyway solid product.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Weak set
