Best Wireless CarPlay Adapter?
Recently upgraded from W212 Bluetech to a W222 2018 S450. Love the car!!!
With technology constantly changing…I’m looking for the best adapter for the wired CarPlay connection.
The first one I bought started out ok…but got real glitchy. Figured this group would have some ideas.

This is what I am using currently. It works well. Takes about 15-25 seconds to connect when I start the car, but seems stable once connected.
I cannot say whether or not it is the "best" because I have not tried anything else.

I have been using a GTA wireless CarPlay unit. Fairly easy install with excellent instructions using YouTube.
