I drive a 2021 Chevy Equinox, with CarPlay and Android Auto built in, however, it requires a wired connection. So originally I bought 2 Dongles:
A "Carlinkit" dongle for CarPlay, and a Motorola MA1 for Android Auto.
This worked well surprisingly, because the Car itself dictates which phone to connect based on which Key fob / Profile is active. (preface: I carpool with my Dad. He's an iPhone user, I'm an Android fanboy)
Then the MA1 died after just over a year of use, during a 2.5hr trip. It just croaked. No warning, no glitching, just flat out died right then and there. I haven't been able to reset or get it working since.
Having been curious about AAWireless's products, I figured for nearly the same price as the MA1, why not give it a shot! 2 days in, several trips later, and I'm thoroughly impressed.
The setup for Android Auto was essentially, Plug & Play.
The app made everything easy, connected and ran on the first try, and every trip since. It does what it says on the box, and so far, it does it flawlessly. I haven't had any stuttering with the sound or delays in navigation. It just, works. It also connects nearly instantly. the MA1 needed at least 7-10 seconds before things were ready.
Then, while digging through settings in the app (something severely lacking on the MA1, which has no interface whatsoever) I saw something intriguing. "CarPlay BETA" This suddenly made the little AAWireless Dongle interesting. CarPlay AND Android Auto on ONE dongle? Really?!
Yes really. It works. The instructions outline exactly what will happen, even explaining that your iPhone will disconnect and it'll look like it failed. Then, it reconnects, does a bit of hidden magic, and suddenly you've got CarPlay on your dash! It absolutely looked like the setup went wonky, but then it worked;
And works quite well for being a BETA software feature!
What really surprised me was how easily the little Dongle handles juggling the devices.
It really does interface well with my Car's device features. The Car makes the decision on which phone to connect, then the AAWireless dongle listens and does its job. Previously, with two separate dongles, I had to go into the car's setting and disable Android Auto on one Profile, then go in and disable CarPlay on the other.
Even then, when the car started, the two Dongles would get into a fight as to which got control over the dash, and it took up to 20 seconds for it to decide.. During that delay my phone and my Dad's would throw a fit of notifications, "Connected, Disconnected, Connected, Disconnected, etc, etc." It wasn't terrible, but it was annoying.
Now with just the AAWireless Dongle, if the Car tells it to activate Android Auto, my phone connects no issue. If the car asks for CarPlay (different user profile) the dongle doesn't fight with Android. It looks for the iPhone paired, and does the rest. It Just, works. When my Dad starts the car in the morning, my phone doesn't even detect it, and vice versa. Its a really well optimized feature even though its in BETA!
Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed, quite surprised, and would absolutely recommend this product. For the same price as the MA1, and about $20 cheaper than the Carlinkit dongle, you get two working protocols in one little box without the buggy mess of double dongles and wonky device juggling.

Does what I need it to!
1. It was easy to use as it has an app.2. How well this works is based on how good your data service is. For example there is one spot on my way to work that i loose a few bars for a few seconds my music will get spotty or stop completely and turn on again once I get signal back.3. I do not recommend you use this if you will be going to a place where GPS is needed as if you loose bars it will disconnect completely it does not keep android auto up like it would if you are hardwired. So you won't be able to see the map.4. Also remember if you remote start your car and are close enough your phone will conmect which means if you have music while getting ready etc. That will disconnect and will begin playing in the car.5. Very small takes up little to no space. Fits well in the very small space my subaru provides.
