edit: read the stream of reviews on best buy. lots of people say it work and others say it's a piece of crap. the reviews are almost all complimentary gifts to reviewers so i'm not super confident

Will give this a try.
Next. No youtube netflix other apps that Google forbids makes these useless to me.
I found carplay from apple more responsive than Android auto though. Also many newer cars are starting to come out with Wireless caraway and aa.
Making thos further redundant in the future.
Now yes there is a market for this but that's if the market isn't solving it themselves eg hack past Google apple safety precautions due to regulations.
I would imagine a hackable version of this would be best otherwise commoners eg those bad at tech shouldn't bother while those that would buy this with too much money can save it and buy a new car

Sometimes convenience is worth the money and for some, $70 isn't that much for it.
I bought a different model on amazon.com for about the same price.

After much research, I picked up this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C7K7B7ML/
Like all CarPlay adaptors, the reviews are mixed. I can't remember why I got this over the other Ottoplay models, but it has been fine. I think it's only failed to connect once that wasn't my fault. (Other things that will cause it to fail that were my fault is having Wifi off, having something tethered through personal hotspot, etc)
All and all, I love the upgrade to wireless CarPlay and the ease of just getting in the car and having everything connected.
Highly recommend getting one if you have wired CarPlay, but it seems YMMV.
So this is a $70 adapter for people who don't want to take their phone out of their pocket?
I guess I could see this being good if your lightning port is shot, but otherwise...really? Seventy dollars just to have something else plugged in instead of your phone? Wow.
I get it you're implying that people are lazy with this. But this makes getting things up and running pretty quick. You hop in your car, turn it on and CarPlay (in theory) is just ready to go. For someone like my FIL, once I paired up his phone, he doesn't have to fidget with anything.
