Android Auto Wireless Dongle - Which one works???

I'm still bummed my 2024 Carbon Edition Mazda CX-5 has WIRED Android Auto. I've had 2 Motorola dongles. Both died suddenly. Just tried some other random brand from Amazon. It was slow to connect and would lock up. Just sent that one back. In general these things have about 70% positive reviews. Who knows how many of those are real. The Motorola, in particular, has a high failure rate. Pretty sure the AZ heat is not helping. Anyone have a wireless dongle that's been bullet proof? Quick to connect? Lasted a long time without failing?

My nephew had one by JDG that worked well for carplay. Can't say how their AA dongle works though.

I have 3 of them. I could not get the Monster one to connect. The first one listed give you a light show.

Hmm... links don't work. I really was happy with the Motorola, but as I read reviews, seems they just don't last. One person gave up after their 5th died.

Sorry. Here they are. First one works well, second is the light show, which is a little much. Last is the Monster, which I couldn't get to work.

Edit: For some reason, I can't post a link.

1. iheylink dongle

2. Asuncell dongle

3. Monster dongle
