Aftermarket wireless CarPlay for post-facelift (2018+) S560 / S63 coupes

(Cross-posted from the C217 non-AMG forum for better visibility here; mods, please close one or merge at your discretion.)

Question in title. In searching here on MBWorld, the two most common solutions mentioned seem to be Carlinkit and Ottocast since the 2018-2021 S coupes support wired CarPlay only.


I forget if any others were consistently spoken of highly.

Sorry if I've missed a recent thread, but what is the most up-to-date consensus on which is "best"? If price is no object, what is the most reliable option that is "set and forget", is ideally full-screen on the MMI, and won't compromise audio quality in a vehicle with the high-end Burmester option?

TIA.

I have been very happy with the carlinkit solution for a few years now
