I would prefer if it was smaller and plugged right into the USB port to save space and clutter. But it works well and was indeed plug and play with my Samsung Android A52 phone on my 2021 Genesis.

Has a really terrible delay. Anytime I pause my music, take a call, get a direction notification, do anything at all it's like a full 3 seconds before it's reflected in the carplay.

Absolute piece of garbage. Phone connects to the monster device and the radio just displays a black screen with the monster device name on it. works about half the time. today i the it out of the window at 80mph

This is a great item. I purchased 2. They both work great in my 2017 Silverado HC and 2021 Hyundai Kona. It is vented to reduce heat build up. The number one killer of similar units. It come with a long enough USB Cable, that you can mount it out of site in an "always cool, vented" area. So cheap, I may purchase a spare. These little electronics don't last forever.

This is very good, but there are issues with it. First off, let me say that I think it is worth it to have the wireless Carplay ability. Not more cord hanging out of a USB port required to use Carplay, that has been great. I bought one of these for a Jeep Grand Cherokee and for a Buick Encore. In the Jeep, several times I have backed out of my driveway and when I shift to drive the backup camera stays on and I can't do anything with the display. When this happens, the only fix I have found is to turn off the car, let the infotainment system shut down, and then restart and it's fine. The product has been less troublesome in the Buick, for most of the time it is fine, but a few times it has lost connectivity and I've had to "foret" the device and repair it. I've come to realize that I need to wait for a while after starting either car, let the bluetooth get all synched up and Carplay running before I move the car and it seems to be more reliable. I'm not sorry I got it, it doesn't go haywire that often and it is great having the wireless ability so I would recommend it.

This thing is the BOMB!!! It pairs at the snap of a finger. I like how it pairs before I get there before I get to my truck because I have remote start. Or if I don't do remote start, it still pairs very fast. I've had trouble with it like once or twice in the last 2 or 3 weeks that I have had it, and I'm constantly starting my truck because I'm doing DoorDash. MUCH easier seeing directions on screen, even though Maps ain't right sometimes. But other than that, much better than that stupid Motorola one I had for almost 2 years. It seemed to never pair even when new until it finally gave out.

Overall works pretty well but some flaws it has is it doesn’t switch over to another user easily. Every time my bf uses it I have to first forget it in my Bluetooth list %26 then repair with it again. My second complaint is if you aren’t playing music %26 try to have your phone read text to you or vice versa… it will break in %26 out making it impossible to understand. Also , the holding the button a few seconds to pair someone new does not work. Not nice. I always have to pull the plug %26 reconnect , cutting its power to get it to start to pair. Other than that it’s made my Apple car play much less of a hassle..

it’s easy to connect and work wirelessly as described. However, it disconnects from the car every 1-2 days… (it’s not phone issue) which as a car device it’s not acceptable, I can’t driving half way and out of sudden lost my map my music. Only way is to restart the car, which it’s not possible on a highway. So, not recommended.

After many times of attempting to connect to the device with Android, it would connect, reset and loop. I have forgotten device, and re linked the device over and over again, takes about 20 minutes to connecting every time I get in the car. If you're an apple user, good luck. I tried to get it to connect to an iPhone, doesn't work. Not worth the buy.

Disconnects continuously. Very unreliable after a month.
