Review on πŸš— Upgrade Your Car's CarPlay: 2021 Carlinkit3.0 Wired to Wireless Adapter for Audi, Volvo, Porsche, Volkswagen, Hyundai by Josue Porter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works but not as smoothly as I expected

I use the device with Volvo. The software has also been updated. I have found that it works intermittently and the connection can be slow at times. About half the time it works without any failures. The other half of the time it's slow or buggy. If it's slow, the quickest solution is to unplug the device and then plug it back in. (The quickest way would be to use a cable.) There were also 2 instances where he just ended the call mid-call. I'm still in touch by phone, just not through the car or CarPlay. Overall, based on other reviews, my experience does not appear to be representative. I find the product a bit disappointing and not sure if I will keep it for myself. I decided to return it. I really wanted the product to work but found it even more disappointing. I just drove 400 miles and the cover art of the song just froze and was out of "sync" with what was playing. I hung up on the second time too. On the way back I just put my phone in the car. All problems with CarPlay are gone. For me and my XC40, the device was unreliable and did not bring any additional comfort.
