I have a similar one by CUSP that I’ve been using for about 1.5 years. It basically turns the display into an android tablet and you can connect to either your phones hotspot or add a SIM card to it. Most apps on the play store work but some like Netflix need to be older versions. The one I have has 8-core 4Gb ram/ 64Gb storage and you can add up to a 500GB SD card. The wireless CarPlay is a run through an app on the unit which works well most of the time. Occasionally you get a disconnect but it reconnects pretty quickly — seems to be a common issue with wireless CarPlay from outside interference. My unit is a bit old now and still on android 9. There are newer ones that have more memory / Android 11. These also have a built in GPS so you can use map apps without your phone but would still need a data connection if you want traffic etc. I’d suggest comparing them on Amazon since you have free returns if it doesn’t work out. This is the one I’m using:

I have a simpler version that allows for wireless Android Auto, no external wifi signal needed. Here is my thread about it, its been working well for about 7 months so far.
