    Customers like the latency of the adapter. They mention that it connects faster than the competition, syncs very fast, and works flawlessly. The adapter starts quickly and there is no lag when using the touchscreen. The product provides mapping information and Siri for assistance, and the Bluetooth music is not delayed almost at all. Overall, customers are satisfied with the performance and recommend the adaptor to others.

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the adapter. Some mention that it works decently, while others say that it doesn't work for a long time and has to be unplugged and reconnected. The scariest part is that on long drives it just stops working.

    Porsche - Adds Android Auto option!
    If you have a 718/982 or a 991.2 Porsche with PCM 4 Car Play enabled, this adapter will allow Android Auto to work on your center console display!This isn't a perfect solution and the product is poorly documented, but it works well most of the time and the other times it just needs to be unplugged and plugged back in. If your Porsche is CarPlay enabled, this device appears to the car as though it's an apple phone, then appears to an Android phone as a Android Auto screen device. You can connect your Android phone via a usb cable directly into this device and it will charge your phone (slowly) along with connecting it to Android Auto. Or Android Auto will work wirelessly as well as shown in my photos (the cable connected to my phone is just a charging cable).Some items of interest I've found:* If you use wireless Android Auto, there is some latency from the screen press to the actual response. Sometimes the latency is longer than other times; not sure what is the cause. There is minimal Android Auto latency if the Android phone is directly connected to this device using a cable.* If you get out of the car for a few minutes and lock the car, when you return, sometimes the car's center screen display is blank. Simply unplugging and replugging the adapter fixes the issue.* To follow the instructions in the owners manual to get firmware updates, connect your phone directly to this device and don't use a wireless connection. It took me a while to make that work, only to discover the device already had the latest firmware.* The Motorola wireless AA used in one of my other cars works much better if you're simply looking for a wireless AA adapter. The magic with this adapter is to be able to use Android Auto in a car that only supports CarPlay.
