Works like you'd want it to - if hard wired
I was originally hoping to pair this with my car's head unit over Bluetooth, and that somehow my existing steering wheel controls would work with it. No joy - this unit can only use bluetooth to connect to the phone. Backup plan - connect to the car radio over FM. I didn't realize it, but there is SOME FM signal almost everywhere on the spectrum where I live, so there was always interference. So I hard-wired the unit to my car. The unit boots quickly - about 15 seconds - and wireless carplay works flawlessly. I plugged in the external mic, but it's not working well yet. Carplay has real issues interpreting what I say when I try to dictate texts etc, but I think I need to keep playing with microphone location. All in all, I can use the screen to show maps while navigating, it helps me avoid holding my phone to text while driving, and it's what I wanted.
