Does what it's supposed to do. For the first connection, I recommend using your home's WiFi connection along with ensuring your phone's Bluetooth is enabled. Once it's connected tho, you can actually unplug the gadget and it'll still connect your phone to the car. I found this out after a few trips. Another thing to note, upon initial setup, you'd want to make sure your phone's audio is set to “CarPlay” instead of “My<car make>”. After a few times, it'll automatically sync the CarPlay. Hope this helps!
