Wireless CarPlay
Hi I was wondering if anyone has tried the wireless CarPlay adapters out there that can recommend one. I have purchased the carlinkit 3.0 and it has been a huge disappointment. It disconnects more than it stays connected.
I have seen some people recommend the carplay2air adapter also but state it has sound and issues syncing as well. Just looking to see if anyone has found a solution that has worked.

I've had the Carplay2air for 2 years, and really like it. I have had no connection problems at all so far. Works great with Waze, Maps, etc. No comment on music quality, as I use an old iPod for that.

Wireless carplay is a choice. If it's wired and you're running a map (GPS), then your phone will charge as those kind of APPs eat phone batteries. If you're wireless, then you need to worry about the phone charge. I usually have the phone in my pocket to play the music on my phone or talk on it. If I use Google maps or the like, I plug it in to keep my battery up to par.

thank you this is the one I ended up with. I started with the carlinkit and it is horrible. Looks like the same firmware on the backend for carplay2air but I have had no issues this far.
