Anyone have one they’ve been happy with? These have a general reputation for flakiness. Ideally works w MY2023.
Wireless CarPlay adapters?

mine (carlinkit 4.0) will try to autoconnect to any that are already paired. when multiple phones are present it will briefly show a menu to select one but it can be hard to pick one before the autoconnect runs, and I'm not sure if the menu selection even does anything. if it connects to the wrong one a quick fix is to turn bluetooth off on the offending phone and unplug/replug the carlinkit
if you still have this i would pick it up off ya for that price

Can you confirm if you can see both displays when using maps? The center and driver clusters?
When I use my Ottocast (newest edition) it does not show the map in the driver cluster.
The Carlinkit 5.0 does not show on the driver’s display on my 2023 S60. Also, the initial connection is not consistent. If it won’t connect, it requires lots of finagling that I haven’t figured out yet.
These two are deal killers for me.
When working, the lag seems very minimal.

Does it show on the dirver's display when hardwired to your phone, bypassing Carlinkit?
Carlinkit simply acts as middleware, convering the signal from wired to wireless. It depends on how Carplay is supported by the Volvo's system.... On my old sensus, Carplay is only displayed on the main screen, not on the driver's cluster display. Guess it is similar with the AAOS inmplementtion.
AAOS now will show the Apple Maps in the driver’s display when hardwired.

My CarLinkIt (I think it is 3.0) works about 90% of the time in my 2020 w/ Sensus. The same unit worked about 98% of the time in my previous vehicle, which was a Toyota. All firmware is up to date. I would go with a different brand. My $0.02.

I got this "mini model" a little over a year ago and it has been rock solid. I have only needed to restart it once in that time

in AAOS some apps can display on the driver display.
Currently I am aware of Apple Maps and soon one other widely used navigation will too

I switched to the Jemluse adapter ($30 on Amazon right now) and it seems to work great.
I've been using the Terunsoui adapter and it works quite well. Boots fast and has been problem free: Amazon.com: TERUNSOUl Wireless Carplay Adapter, Converts Wired to Wireless carplay Adapter for iPhone, Wireless Control Plug & Play Carplay for Cars from 2017 & for Apple iPhone iOS 10+
