    I don’t use a wireless device. I use a short cord with a 90* angle plug. Phone needs to be charged anyway, it sits in the cubby where the worthless charger is. I have no need to access the phone with ApplePlay

    I have the Teeran version. Paid $62 for it through Amazon during their “Prime Day” sales.

    I went Amazon due to being able to easily return it if it didn’t work.

    It’s only been a week, but I’ve found it works very well. It connects quickly (30 seconds maybe) and I find having full CarPlay functionality without wires very convenient, especially since my wife seems to like to communicate with me via text while I’m driving.

    I’m debating swapping the USB ports so the “power only” port is on the dash and the “CarPlay” port is in the center console.

    A second for the CarPlay2Air.

    I’ve got over two years trouble free use out of it.

    I’ve run the AutoSky for about 1.5 years now. I use a 90° cable and stick it above the wireless charger. Super clean looking and the adapter works flawlessly. Has brief connection issues maybe once every 3-6 months if that.

    FYI, the difference between the pro and non pro is only the case from what I understand. (Plastic vs “CF”)

    I have an MA1 in a drawer and returned an AAWireless unit that bricked itself. Both reliably disconnect when passing under power transmission lines which are hard to avoid where I live. I originally thought the disconnects were a cranky S20 phone or cellular service, but the MA1 is marginally better with a new Pixel 7A and a change in cellular provider for other reasons has not changed anything.

    So, has anyone had a positive experience with switching from an MA1 to something else with better results?
