Review on 2021 Wireless Carplay Adapter: Upgrades OEM Wired CarPlay to Wireless, iOS System Support, for Cars from 2017 to Now (Black) by Sheppard Priest

Firstly it is well packaged and I am very happy with the size of the device; it's easy to "hide" if you wish. Although I'm fairly tech savvy, it was VERY easy to connect. I would say anyone that can plug in their phone or connect to their home wifi can do this. It just works. If your glass has been down/parked for hours (I was NOT collecting any data at the time, but overnight it's certainly causing longer startup/connection times) it will take a minute or two to connect. . At this point, the phone selection and connection screen will appear. If you were connected and driving (or the device was connected to the network) and stopped to run to the store or to get gas fuel, when you start the machine again the connection is almost instantaneous. Again, there's no 'data' here, but it lights up before you're done checking your surroundings and thinking about putting the car into gear. It is great. I noticed a performance lag with the wireless connection compared to the wired connection. (I didn't use much cable for comparison, but sometimes things just don't seem clear). All I can say is that despite these small flaws, it works as expected. For example, I noticed that the functionality of some apps, like the microphone in Google Maps and the playlist/album images in Apple Music, seems a bit sluggish. Sometimes the mic is perfect, sometimes it can't hear me. (I'm using beta iOS, which might also be an issue.) If the manufacturer actually reads them, I have (2) key notes preventing me from getting a full 5 stars: 1. Turn on some dual sticks , which are suitable for high temperature environments such as car interiors in summer. Users don't have to use it, but it would be nice.2. Since the device starts up very quickly after driving for a while and briefly "stop", I assume that an internal "charge" is retained? Have your EEs add more capacitors or other devices to hold the charge (no batteries please), for that charge to last longer, say 12-24 hours? This allows most users who drive their car on a daily basis to have fast charging and only long charging after long periods of storage. Explain it in the user manual, of course. (Make it a feature! ) In conclusion, I highly recommend it as the automotive world is (slowly!) catching up with the technology. worth $100! no need to use it but it would be nice.2.
