Works great in a Taycan!
Works great in my Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo! Simple setup via Bluetooth, uses Apple Carplay to access the Android menu. Just need to remember turning on my mobile hotspot for the data connection. Had to email the seller for an updated app file to download Netflix and Disney Plus, works great now! Just watched the new Dave Chapelle stand up show on Netflix, The Dreamer, while stuck in traffic 😜

Android auto disconnects when phone's hotspot is turned on
I bought this item to use it on a Mazda CX-30, which does not have a touch screen, they use a knob control to move around the screen. I was aware that this android boxes do not work very well with this kind of controls, but you can sort of "workaround" it by using a bluetooth keyboard or mouse. This was something I was expecting, so it wasn't a deal-breaker, but the following things were:You cannot use Android Auto (AA) with your phone's hotspot enabled. When the hostspot is enabled, AA gets disconnected from the car because this device uses the wifi to connect to it, instead of the USB cable. The product listing description does not mention this, which is crucial. Other similar devices to this one that I have tested in the past do not have this issue, you can switch between AA and the device apps like YouTube while having the hostspot enabled to give the device Internet access. There is no reason to use the wifi to connect to the car instead of the USB cable, this cripples the functionaly of this device; if you are using AA to say, hear music with Spotify, or have navigation instructions with Waze or Google Maps, and then you want to see a video on YouTube, when the hostspot is enabled, AA gets disconnected and it will not work again until you stop the hostspot and reconnect the device's USB cable. This does not make any sense! You can test yourself that the wifi is not needed for AA to work by having your phone connected to your car using the USB cable, and then enabling the hotspot, AA will continue to work, and you can even use the hostspot with your laptop.I tried to install the applications I normally use on AA from the Play Store, like Spotify, Waze and Google Maps, so it didn't matter if AA was not connected, but nope, this does not work either. When I tried to install them, all of them appeared "unavailable for this device", so I was not able to install them. Maybe they can be installed using the sdcard, as the product listing says, but that creates a lot of work because each time there's an application update, you have to go through the hassle of manually downloading the android package, coyping it into the sdcard, plugging it into the device and installing the packages (this is, assuming I can do it and I do not need the vendor's intervention).The other issue I had was with the bluetooth keyboard, it kept disconnecting from the device after some minutes, and it would not work again until I turned off and on again the keyboard several times. The keyboard works fine with my TV and does not have this issue.I do not recommend this device, until they fix the wifi issue and it can properly connect using the USB cable as it should be. As I said, there isn't any technical limitation to have to use the wifi to connect to the car. Or at least allow the installation of the most common apps that are used on AA without doing a manual install.I contacted the seller about this issues more than a week ago, and never got an answer back, so I ended up returning it. I really do not recommend this item!

Good for short commutes
I owned a Motorola ma1, for about a year, and it worked it had its hitches,but nothing Compared to this device, the wifi doesn't turn on automatically even though the setting is on, it uses apple carplay to interface with the vehicle, not a big issue, but the audio gets a bit shotty,I believe most of this is due to the 2gb of ram, like honestly nand flash is super cheap and 4gb would be plenty especially if you plan on using Netflix or YouTube, the os of the device uses over half your ram, which to anyone who has no idea what this means, basically ram is like a waterbottle with a hole at the bottom so the system is oil, alot of oil really doesn't flow through the water bottle it just holds onto its self and stays in, everything else is water and it's coming and going really fast but. The facet turns off when the waterbottle is full, if you use Netflix while android auto is running in the background even if the water is super fast the facet is faster and it fills the bottle to the brim, which will resin bad audio or freezing video,As a summary, device has bad hardware, which results in a bad experience for the user, if you are using device as intended, good luck, milage may vary. Fix the wifi

Works great!
Been using this a while now and works just as I wanted it to. Super convenient that I don't have to plug my phone in every time now. Makes my car feel newer!

Working great in 2020 Hyundai Kona
I use it primarily for the wireless Andriod Auto features. However, since I drive an electric car, I sometimes have to stop and charge. Then I plan to watch Netflix while charging. I have had no problems in the 2 months I have been using it. When it comes up, it boots in about 15 seconds and then I click the "AutoKit" app icon to launch Andriod Auto. I used some double sided tape to stick it inside the console of my car where is is out of the way and does not move around.

Not a great product, but usable.
I wanted to like this box, but it has a lot of problems that make it difficult to want to keep. Will likely return it.For starters, it cannot do both CarPlay and connect to the phone's hotspot simultaneously. This is a huge deal breaker. The unit also rebooted itself twice during a one hour trip.Also, the delay in audio is pretty poor. The time it takes to hear a new song after pressing the "next" button on your steering wheel is seconds. This delay is also apparent during phone calls as well.The upside is that it's fairly inexpensive and attractive. But for a little more money, you can get a box that's more reliable, which is what I will probably do.

Versatilidad
Me agrado que es muy versátil, buen tamaño, a veces queda corto al reproducir videos, pero pienso que es por el internet que comparto desde mi móvil.
