2025 Pro Mini Wireless CarPlay Adapter & Android Auto Wireless Adapter, Converts Wired to Wireless, Fast Stable Link, Low Latency, Easy Setup in 2016+ Wired Cars, iOS 10+ & Android 11+, USB/Type-C

I've had the dongle for about a week and half at this point. I will say it works as described. I get in my car, my phone connects.The time it takes varies to connect, 10-30 seconds but it has always connected. This time could be due to my home wifi though, since it seems to work faster when not home.The case is made of a smooth glossy plastic, feels good in the hand. I have no concerns of it falling apart. It comes with a USB A to C adapter if you need it and a little pigtail.When you first connect the dongle, it will actually show up on your screen with instructions on how to connect. Once you connect it does a little dance and then finally connects.Theres no noticeable latency I've been able to detect. It just works.I got two and put the second one in my other car for my wife. The fact it just involves connecting via bluetooth and you're done means no real concern she can't figure it out.

Only had it for a day however it seems to be working great for my 2017 ford edge. The initial connection took a minute but since then it’s pretty much instant when I get in my car and start it. It’s small and compact, build quality seems good, no to just wait and see how the longevity of it is.

Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. It works very well. There are only two drawbacks: 1) Occasionally, it takes about a minute for my phone to connect (Samsung Galaxy S24+), and 2) there are a couple of audio stutters every once in a while. Most of the time however, it works great, quick to connect, and no audio hiccups.

I bought this wireless adapter for my wife for Christmas but actually set it up in her 2021 Hyundai Kona a few days early. She usually drives this car every day but she took our other car instead one day, giving me a window to try it out.Setup was pretty easy - I used my phone first to check it out, then started over with her phone when she got home. We both have Android phones so I can't vouch for how it works with Carplay but it seems to be working fine with the current version of Android Auto (13.3.644654). I was a little concerned about the phone being connected to the WiFi in our house while sitting in the driveway, but that doesn't seem to be a problem once it is set up.When I took her out to the car to show her how it works it connected right up and started playing some music from her phone! She was able to see texts as they came in and reply to them or send new ones using the car's voice control. We don't use the navigation features very often but that appears to be working as expected. She was also able to place a call, but I'm not certain that it was via Android Auto because her phone was connected directly via Bluetooth to the car's infotainment system at the same time.So far I am very happy. We've had this capability since we bought the car four years ago but rarely used it because of the inconvenience of the cable connection - my wife usually leaves her phone in her purse when she's driving. She has been lamenting the fact that she couldn't see texts and respond to them as she could in our older Sentra that supported this feature but not Android Auto.

I have tried a few of these adapters and had poor results. Finally I think I have found one that works very well. We have a 2023 Honda Ridgeline and a 2021 CRV Hybrid and so far so good. I guess Honda is a bit late to the game with wireless and I don't think they started with it till 2024 so we were a bit out of luck. I have an iphone 13 and it's working great for me for 2 days now so unless something changes I will for sure be keeping these.
