Wireless CarPlay Head Unit Recommendations?

[Chitownshde]

I'm looking to upgrade to android/carplay (wireless) after I install the software you sent. Any recommendations for products with USB-C and wireless capability? I found this one on Ali Express (click wireless option) but the reviews seem mixed and one says it doesn't work with V74.x and only works for Carplay, not Android Auto. Any links or info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn

I've just bought my CX-5 and had a look at the android auto feature. I bought this adapter from Amazon. Bit expensive at £38 and i think I've seen the same one on Ali Express. First attempt wasn't successful but the second attempt - with a different phone that wasn't already paired to the car - worked easily. However, next time out in the car it had unpaired the first phone. Can't say I'm keen on Android Auto though. I prefer the installed satnav maps to Google maps, I'm not really a Spotify user, just happy with the radio, and using any apps seemed like a mess about as my screen doesn't have touchscreen capabilities. Online manual says it can be enabled but I can't find those options in the menus. I've decided I'm returning the dongle but, if you're prepared to use the commander knob to control everything, it does work.
