I bought mine 04/26. Still not here. Been sitting at a “shipping partner facility” since 06/15. Took 2 weeks to get there after clearing customs.
I have gotten emails from them blaming a robbed FedEx truck??????, COVID, riots, the fact the sun is shining.....

Last email,they said 3 more weeks. But their tracking shows at the mysterious shipping partner facility in California.
Also, oddly enough the tracking always seems to update only when I email asking for an update.

So, I did a dispute with AmEx.
Maybe a bit of pressure will help them get their shipping act together.

I did the newest update on mine this morning and I think it may actually have fixed it... I will know better when I go out for a drive but that may be tomorrow morning.
Glad to hear. Keep us posted.

Regarding your earlier post showing the yellow exclamation point on wifi. That’s normal.
The reason you see this is because you are connecting to a device that does not provide internet access. So you can ignore that error.

Yeesh. Yeah, mine was blamed on air shipping issues, which I laughed at since it came via boat. Still just states cleared customs. Maybe I should dispute it as well.

Mine definitely worked a million times better this morning. It actually was perfect.
I’m glad I wasn’t crazy. My initial requests with their customer service was that I thought it needed some kind of update to fix the issue but it was up to date with the most current software. I am happy to say that it was pretty much flawless on my 20 minute drive this morning.

Awesome to hear my friend! Who ever doesn't have one of these yet that has an iPhone...you really need to reconsider. My next Group Buy will be starting mid-week. If you want one, and have yet to PM me, do so so that I can get a count. I make absolutely nothing on these and I had to pay full price for mine too. Just helping out a bunch of friends on a forum :D

Once the dispute with AmEx is settled, I may try the competitor. WirelessCopilot.
shipping is 3-5 days by DHL, and NZ based support.
Would try the group buy, but so far the 2 months and no product has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Happy to report that iOS 14 beta 1 works flawlessly with the dongle so far.
Actually, pretty friggin stable for a first beta on both iOS and iPadOS.

I’ll keep y’all posted as the betas progress.

AWESOME to hear...I am excited about 14 but not going to beta. It's my work phone too and I can't take any chances as my IT team will not support beta software.

I hear you my friend. The issue, at this point, really has nothing to do with the company but the shipping agent they are using. Not a good situation regardless, but the product is excellent and if you order on the Group Buy and get it in a week...when the other unit comes in (assuming that it does :) ) you can sell it to another forum member at your cost to help them out since I doubt you'll want two. Let me know and I can add you to my Group Buy coming up this week. The other product is $169 and this is $111.97...totally your call.

Ordered mine on May 14th. Finally appears to be though customs but still somewhere in CA and hasn't made it's way to USPS yet.
Arrived Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item, Your item arrived at a shipping partner facility at 11:45 am on June 21, 2020 in BRISBANE, CA 94005. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date.
If I get it soon enough I will be sure to test it with a device I already have running the iOS 14 developer beta.

I ordered April 29th. I received confirmation today that it's reached DesMoines, Iowa. So...I'm guessing it should reach me in the next week here in Texas.

Preliminary report, iOS 14 (beta) works fine with this wireless adapter.
Although on the first try, there was no audio.

Later that afternoon, I removed the connection and reconnected it and it worked fine. I have not tested it more than a few moments, but it doesn't seem to be any issues.
