Great device, with long term support. Occasionally buggy for periods of time, but somehow fixes itself randomly. I only wish it didn't use up as much of my phone's battery.
- Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead
  
  Thanks for the tip, but I was referring to the battery drain while using the wireless device. Not sure if native wireless Android Auto drains as much battery, but using these 3rd party dongles drains about 15% every 30 mins on my phone, even when not actively using navigation.

I find that it occasionally disconnects, and the sound quality is really degraded compared to cable (even from Spotify, nothing hi-rez).

Works really well if you only have one user. But my car, unfortunately, has wireless apple car play, but only wired Android auto. Apple device always gets priority and creates issues for aa wireless a lot.
- I find the same for Bluetooth connection to Audi infotainment. No carplay or android

I have two of them, one in my GLI and one in my wife's Palisade.
Really worthwhile.
