Great CarPlay key for your money!

This is a great USB dongle for any android car stereo. I followed the instructions and downloaded the required application from the stereo manual that came with it and after some very simple trial and error to figure out the settings everything worked perfectly. One thing I noticed is that when I started playing music and podcasts through Spotify, they would start playing for a few seconds and then stop, so I hit the play button again but it still stopped after just that few seconds that something was connected to the connected phone. at the same time as CarPlay to the Bluetooth of the same radio, but as soon as I turned off Bluetooth on my phone, Spotify played perfectly, so I just have to remember to turn off Bluetooth on my phone when I go to use the USB CarPlay dongle. Even the standard CarPlay connections can be buggy at times, as I've seen. My cousin's Honda Accord comes with CarPlay built into the standard radio and he says he has to unplug it from time to time and plug it back in a few seconds later when it's active, so I still had to do that don't do it, if it ever freezes or slows down i will. This key is perfect for what I need it for and at the best price I could find as they can be ridiculously overpriced elsewhere. If you need it, don't wait, just get it, you won't regret it!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
