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

You can tell by going to the product page for a product and checking under "Shop Confidently." If it says anything about 90 days, it's limited to 90 days. If it does not, their standard return policy applies.
I've returned a Switch, AirPods, etc without issue.
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.
a) years of having phone connected wirelessly via bluetooth
b) then to wired android auto
c) and finally to adding the wireless AA dongle from motorola
I found that:
a) With wired AA, it wasn't worth the hassle to plug in my phone for short trips
b) and when I did, I would forget my phone in the car and have to go back for it because of years of muscle memory of it being in my pocket
I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the Motorola wireless AA dongle for a similar price, have no issues, and now get the benefit of AA on all trips with the convenience of leaving my phone in my pocket. It's easily worth double or triple this price to me.

You plug in your phone and charge simultaneously. Why buy an unnecessary dongle and leave your phone not plugged in using a device that could fail at anytime?
