Before buying, I watched a ton of comparison videos that highlighted the differences between the speed of the m3 chip vs m3 pro chip vs m3 max chip. Can you provide a comparison video as to how your product operates better, faster, more seamlessly than a cheaper unit? You say it doesn't lag, disconnect, etc but is it truly noticeable?

You're right about Porsche being a great product and also supports the above. It can easily be compared, side by side, to the competition
It's challenging to make comparisons, especially considering the 100+ of CarPlay dongles available on platforms like Amazon, with many coming from different manufacturers in China. Comparing each one individually would be incredibly time-consuming. it wouldn't make sense to create a video showing a Chinese unit running for five hours to demonstrate disconnections, and then compare it to our unit running for the same duration without any disconnections. Such a comparison wouldn't provide meaningful insights because it's not an accurate representation of real-world usage.

However, what we can say is that our unit offers a better experience than many others currently available. While there may be other great options out there, such as those from China, some may suffer from issues like long loading times or frequent disconnections.

Ultimately, what we offer is a quality product made in the USA with a 5-year warranty. While it may be more expensive than some alternatives, it's a testament to our commitment to supporting American jobs and contributing to the growth of the American economy.

I've heard about the CPLAY2air USB adapter—it's one of the popular ones that can turn wired CarPlay into wireless. Another one to check out is the Carlinkit Wireless Adapter. It's pretty much like CPLAY2air, using Bluetooth and WiFi to make your CarPlay connection wireless.

You get what you pay for guys. The 5 year warranty alone adds value. How long will your cheaper unit last? Dropped connections are annoying and frustrating. We are driving $175K+ cars most of us, I'd prefer to pay once and not worry about it.

It's good to have options but its not productive to miss the obvious selling points here and ask for vague comparisons.

Unknown but if it craps out, I can buy 5 more before breaking even with this other option. I think a simple comparison is an easy thing to do to showcase how superior this product is (just pick one of these cheaper units). Plus, who knows if this company will be around in 5 years. How do we know we get what we pay for when we haven't seen anything other than the few posts above?

Our units never drop connection unless you're in a Wi-Fi interference area, which can disrupt any wireless CarPlay connection. As you probably know, all products sold in the USA must accept interference by the FCC rules, but unlike Chinese models that just drop even when sitting in your garage after an hour of playing music. That doesn't happen with our modules.

You've got 14 days to test-drive the product. If you don't like it, send it back. We also have a secondary module that allows for HDMI and features like front or interior cameras, but on smaller cars, it might not make sense.

We've been around since 2014, and we're here to stay. Our business isn't slowing down. Just to clarify, I'm only in charge of selling products through online car forms. Our main divisions sell directly to car dealerships because there are still so many cars out there that don't have wireless CarPlay. Customers are constantly looking for those in dealerships. Dealerships aren't going to buy anything on Amazon to resell to their customers; they need a reputable company to deal with. Currently, we're the only company in the USA that provides this service.

With this, you can add devices like Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick, etc. You can even add cameras, like a backup camera or a baby camera, so you can see the entire backseat. This way, when you're driving and your kids are crying, you don't have to turn around and risk an accident just to check on them. $299 is the price for the interface with HDMI input for forum numbers.
Do you have a link to your product? Does it have a name? I’m old. Make it easy on me.

Thank you for your order. I assume your vehicle has factory CarPlay, and this product will make your CarPlay wireless or give you the ability to use Android Auto wirelessly as well.

Your order will ship tomorrow via UPS ground and you will receive email with the tracking number

Are there any reviews of DashLynx? The whole "my product is better because I said so" isn't really what I'm after.

I like the simple design. Eager to hear feedback on how DashLynx works.
