I purchased this with some doubts given that the reviews were all over the place, honestly I'm so glad I took that risk! The module is exactly what my 2016 GMC Sierra Denali was missing for it's 8" infotainment.The AI box runs Android 13 which is still up-to-date and has soooo many different possibilities in regards to what type of applications you can install within the Play Store or better yet, directly via the APK loader!I installed an IPTV app that essentially gives me access to LIVE tv and movies on demand. The UI is perfect, it's simple and very user friendly. I'm an IT guy so pretty nerdy when it comes to things as so. The unit runs very smoothly, i'm currently tethering wifi from my phone and have it to auto connect so it works out. I also ordered an additional sim card from my phone provider so that i won't have to worry about the tether as the AI box has an LTE/mobile radio, given it has a SIM card slot.The videos within Netflix and YouTube look amazing, haven't had any freezing issues at all.I used to use a Motorola Android Auto wireless adapter (I believe it's the M1A model), which used to freeze sooo often but worse than that, there was a huge audio delay which eventually got really annoying. This module also gives you the ability to make your wired Android Auto / Apple Car Play into a wireless connection between your factory radio and your phone, so say goodbye to wires from your phone to car.better yet, the AI box has a microSD slot so it doesn't limit you to internal memory only, you can open pretty much any type of file, given you install the appropriate app(s).The price might seem somewhat high, but trust me... given all the features and the power this small box holds, it's VERY MUCH worth it.You won't be disappointed!

Good deal

I tried this with my 2019 MIB2 infotainment. There are couple of issues.The Android UI resolution is so low that you can see pixelation on the icons - feels cheap. This is not a problem of my infotainment system since CarPlay resolution on it looks just fine.Even after connecting to a hotspot, Spotify and few other apps show no internet. Google maps works though. So pretty sure internet isn’t the issue here.The CarPlay latency is way too high. The map updates location 2-3 sec after I make a turn. I actually missed a couple of turns because of the latency. I am not sure if this device supports GPS pass through.Every time I have to use the android app, I have to connect to a WiFi/hotspot which disconnects CarPlay. So when I need to connect to CarPlay, I have to manually pair it again. Workflow is a hassle.I have compared multiple devices on the market and this one has considerably more startup time.To me, if this was 50-60$, I wouldn’t care but for this cost, the cons outweigh the pros.

The media could not be loaded. Love it

Such a cool device. Easy to install. Apps and pairs with your phone

For the money find something else. Slow, interface not user friendly and functionality is old school.

good by so slow
