Review: 4 Months Review - I had to rely on several reviews in my decision to try this product(I usually don't write reviews and this is an honest review: I will update it at 1 and 3 months as I have had it only for few days). Because of the potential convenience (added safety to driving from not looking down at wires) I was willing to pay the price but several reservations/ questions were noted in reviews. Let me answer some of the questions(I came across) one by one: 1. Installation: very easy ( I am not a tech geek). Connect to usb, follow instructions. was setup in 10 mins. (Only thing I wish is a longer wire came with it although doesn't matter in CRV as Apple car play USB is in console). 2. Turns on every time I start the car: NO need to connect every time. Smooth, takes about the same time as the stock Honda Infotainment system. quicker or same time than if you count the time to connect to car play via wire. 3. No lag: I have been playing music nearly all the time I am in the car. No lag. 4. No effect from any bumps on the road: sound quality remains the same ( and great). 5. Once car turns off (like any usb connected device) it turns off. (again this depends on car make/model/settings if USB ports stay on or off). In my case it turns off so no concern for draining battery. 6. certainly worth the price as I have been using the Listening/ Dictating feature more easily as I don't have to connect the wire, and the phone can stay in my pocket and the phone doesn't shift around in the car. Addition at 4 months: Great ! I was very hesitant to buy this product, however in 4 months, it has worked seamlessly. I have also discovered several features which are really nice: as below: I can say this for a Honda CRV 1. If you have more than 1 users for a car (and phones) and you set them all up with it, actually a little menu pops up at start up and it gives you option to choose which phone to connect if (both phones in the car). 2. It connects automatically with every user. 3. Audio is clear, no lag, no issues It is worth the price, it adds to driving safety. Important accessory. Certainly recommend!
Review: Easy Setup, Long time to connect - ***Update*** After two weeks, the product stopped connecting. I tried to re-pair with the same result. The connection time, for me, was about 45 seconds. That’s not convenient enough to move away from a plugged in phone. I returned the product yesterday. This is very easy to set up and when active, functions just like wired car play. I had no issues going through instructions or getting my phone to connect. When I used it the first time post set up, it took 30-40 seconds to connect, now mind you, it’s not the end of the world but worthy of note if you’re someone, like me, who wants things immediately and enjoys certain comforts. No issues with the interface, just wish it connected faster!

### ⭐ Easy Setup, Long time to connect

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ UPSATED: works great, BUT some loss of audio quality
*by A***X on May 21, 2021*

UPDATED: I got another version for a 2022 Toyota Sienna. Same minor audio quality downgrade as the previous version, but nothing horrible. They seemed to have improved the setup process - its a lot easier now. A slight hesitation/delay when navigating Carplay menus, but it's wireless, so it's not unexpected. Overall, it's a very usable wireless CarPlay conversion. It's important to note that this little wireless CarPlay dongle works as advertised and it's actually pretty impressive. For reference, I have a 2018 RAM 1500 with Uconnect 8.4, so the experience should be the same on most Uconnect vehicles. There are two cons that will likely make me return the device. The first one has to do with the setup, that's awkward at best. Then, there is setting it up with two devices (like if you are not the only one using the car). I am yet to figure out how to make it work right. It's not an issue if you connect another device by a cable. The deal breaker for me is a very noticeable loss of quality when playing music. I guess, it's not surprising, considering you are going from a wired connection to a Bluetooth, HOWEVER there are better Bluetooth protocols available. For example, when play wirelessly via the above mentioned Uconnect, it's not nearly as bad. The bottom line: if the audio quality isn't that important to you and you use CarPlay for Nav/other connectivity, once you get past he setup, you'll be fine. If you enjoy your music, I'd stick to the wire.
