vnilrgle Wireless CarPlay Adapter

I AM AMAZED WITH THIS PRODUCT! BEST ONE I HAVE FOUND! I've purchased other brands as gifts for people, and they almost always end up having issues and returning them after experiencing issues with lag, delay, or an unwillingness to connect consistently. However, this is the most seamless and smooth product I have ever had the pleasure to use. The first thing I always do with new electronics is to check and see if the firmware is up to date. Doing so was extremely easy, just requiring a USB charger and then connecting my cell phone to there device and accessing a website IP address. Device was up to date right out of the box, so no issues there. It was also nice to see that I could change the settings for the device on this page, as well as submit a support ticket to the manufacturer if I was having issues with getting my car to connect. Installation of the actual device was way easier than some other brands I have messed with in the past. The device design is fairly compact compared to the "pod and tether" design of other brands, and takes up minimal space. If you were worried about the space or having a "clean" look, you could always use a small USB extension cord to route the device to a less visible area if needed. Once I followed the instructions to get the device tethered to my car, it connected to my phone pretty easily. My biggest concern was how easily does it pair back once I leave the car and then come back later. I've had other brands take upwards of a minute or two to connect, if it connected at all, and often required you to unplug and replug the device to get it to re-establish the connection. Not with this device! I haven't had a single issue, and it connects usually within about 10 seconds or so of being in the car. If you had some issue with the car and needed the device to attempt to connect after X amount of seconds so that it pairs with your car radio correctly, you can easily change the "delay" on the same webpage that you go to in order to check for the firmware updates. We are currently going through a heat wave here, and this device continues to perform like a champ in spite of sitting in a hot car. I've touched the device a few times during longer drives, and there was no noticeable heat level or feeling "hot to the touch" so I believe it will perform just fine. I will find out in a few months when I take several hours long road trips and really put it through its paces. All in all, this device is phenomenal and one that I will be recommending to friends and family that have had hit and miss moments with other brands.
