Finally, mine was delivered (ordered 04/29). Unfortunately it was delivered 2 hours after I had left for our family vacation across the state. Would've been nice to test it during the 3.5 hour drive + all the driving/directions/iTunes/phone calls being made. But, nevertheless it finally has arrived and I just set it up. Plugged in to USB #2 on console and slid along the side where it fits perfectly. I have a wireless charging pad at the base of the console tucked up into the cubby area and can easily set my phone when needed.
Once I connected the CarPlay dongle, I followed procedure to connect with my phone. Taking advice within this thread, I had already removed my bluetooth phone connection from Uconnect and disconnected my Apple watch. The pairing went smoothly and I then checked for a dongle update using the IP address it states to connect with. Already at latest firmware!
Finally, I ordered some carry out for the family and took it for a spin. Just kept my phone in the pocket the entire time and worked like a charm. Used Waze and Itunes along with using voice to send a message to the wife that I was on my way back. Everything worked and no failures or errors. The one thing I did find was when I tried adjusting the dongle it disconnected from the Ram (as if I unplugged it). Looks like I have a somewhat sensitive connection and I think it has to do with the dongle plug. However, its seated now and did not error or disconnect while driving and I think the spot is perfect.
Testing over the weekend as I have some driving around town to do.
