I've got the Carlinkit 2.0 I picked up for $65 a couple years ago. It's outdated now but it's been pretty much flawless.

Wireless CarPlay Dongle
This is interesting. Wondering if this would work with our trucks, or if anyone has tried it. If it does work, it would be a pretty useful mod, specially on trucks with wireless charging pad. https://carplay2air.com Cheers,

Wireless CarPlay isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
One of the manufacturers was going to send me their flagship device to review and I turned it down because I felt there was little value.
I have been a long time wireless CarPlay user and it’s not my favorite.

Same for earlier models. And I use it pretty close to 100% of the time (typically for Google Maps).

I was having connection issues after one of the iOS updates but I updated the firmware in the CarPlay device and it’s been good ever since.
They also don’t like extreme heat so on the rare occasion when my truck sits out in the direct sun baking all day and it heat soaks the cab, the unit has to cool down before it will function. I don’t blame the device for this. Ceramic tint on all the windows helps keep my cab temps down so it only happens on a handful of days the entire summer. Everything has limits.

Use code US37 should be $37 or so.
No affiliation w/ the website but looks like they use paypal so you should be protected. Got this alert from slickdeals.

How is the sound quality using wireless car play with CarlinKit vs. plugging in normally via USB-C? I've never used a dongle so this is all new to me.
