NTG 4.5 Best Carplay options?

Really confused with all the options out there. Hoping someone with experience can advise on what the best current system is and answer the following questions.

1. Is there a big difference in response between the wireless and wired after market options?
2. Which ones use external mics and internal mics?
3. Do any of them support answering calls using the steering wheel controls?
4. Is the integration seamless? For example will carplay start automatically as soon as I start the car if i have a wireless version or as soon as i plug phone in if i have a wired version?
5. Can you mirror your phone screen on iphone?
6. Does video playback stop while driving?

These are the current options I have seen. Which one would be best and is there anything else better out there? I assume some of these are the same models?

Let me say this - use Google:

1st - Google "NTG 4.5 CarPlay upgrade" - and see how many suppliers out there are - and most of then selling the same sh*t - more than quite a few

2nd - next Google "happy with my NTG 4.5 CarPlay Upgrade" - and that will be kindof bleak

Please understand every time someone here post "I found this brand new new kit from this great supplier and it works great" - the next 2-3 guys who try it report back - it's "sh*t".

I recommend https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000656837413.html , bought it from China and experienced one week , it is a real bargain .
1. Is there a big difference in response between the wireless and wired after market options? No
2. Which ones use external mics and internal mics? internal Mic
3. Do any of them support answering calls using the steering wheel controls? I have to push controller on centre console to answer call, steering wheel control will reject call
4. Is the integration seamless? For example will carplay start automatically as soon as I start the car if i have a wireless version or as soon as i plug phone in if i have a wired version? Yes , it's auto link
5. Can you mirror your phone screen on iphone? there is airplay function
6. Does video playback stop while driving? airplay function will not stop even vehicle is moving
