    I have read in some online reviews there is a lag on calls. Have you noticed any lag with any functions (Call, Maps etc) compared to the factory wired version ?

    No lag in phone calls or other functions for me. I did have an issue with people hearing me when on a phone call, and that turned out to be a faulty bluetooth microphone up in the roof. I ordered and fitted a new microphone and that fixed that issue. Its been 3 months or so since that was fixed an no further issues.

    I find the device very reliable and it works really well in my opinion.

    Thanks mate I hadn't heard of this one and looking at the demo it looks really good.

    Have you got one already ?

    . Thanks. Ordered one just before they closed the October orders so it might land as part of that or part of their next shipments. No matter either way. Looking forward to giving it a go.

    I backed the project early and got 2 in the first batch for both our cars.
    There was a bug specific to VAG head units that they were able to resolve within the first few weeks via a firmware update.
    Fantastic little product.

    Hmm. Think I screwed up that reply trying to edit to clarify it was relating to AAWireless.

    Summary.
    Works well.
    But GPS+wifi+Bluetooth = hot phone and noticeable phone battery drain.

    Wondering how the apple carplay dongles are going these days. Was thinking of switching back to Apple from Android.

    I think that's a bit like going out for drinks after an alcoholics anonymous meeting.
