This is actually the 2nd one of these I have ordered and tried. I have a 2019 RAM 1500 5th Gen Bighorn. These trucks have 2 USB A and 2 USB C plugs, but there has to be a fuse adjusted in the fuse box under that dash, that requires the dash piece to be removed, under the steering column... or, the USB ports stay powered in the RAM, connected to the device and your phone will not switch to your homes WiFi unless you manually disconnect the Carplay device. After I sent the first one back, I found a forum post about moving that fuse, so the power shut off after 1 hour. So, when you get home, the truck has to be off and left alone for 1 hour before it'll disconnect and hop onto your home WiFi. Is it a small inconvenience, yes. Would it be more convenient to just get in the truck and have Carplay without messing with cables, YES. So I ordered this one to try again. I want you to keep in mind, I have had this for 3 weeks now, but the truck I use it in, is not driven much. I have a company vehicle, so my RAM, only gets driven on weekends and maybe a couple trips to the store during the week. With that said, it's now dead. There haven't been any iPhone updates or updates to RAM Uconnect. I got in yesterday and got the screen I added a photo for. I restarted my phone, had to hunt for the Bluetooth connection and then it's WiFi connection and manually force a connection. Tech support is simply logging into the device via it's IP address and checking for updates and it was up to date once I got it forced into connecting. Today, same thing, this same screen. If you force it to connect, it will work fine. If you don't, it won't connect on it's own. I tried different cables and tried all 4 USB plugs to make sure it wasn't an equipment issue on my end, it isn't. I think we would all like wireless Carplay and Android Auto. But I don't think the technology is there yet. Plugging in, just takes a couple seconds. A cord might not be convenient, but it's reliable and only costs $10 to replace if it goes bad later. I'm returning this one and calling the wireless Carplay idea, done and over until I buy a different truck or the devices get reliable.

9/23 updates - "Otto" likes to disconnect frequently from the car, Bluetooth and my iPhone and can be very annoying to reconnect. One other very odd “quirk” has appeared with “Otto”. When my car is off and parked in my driveway with “Otto” plugged into the USB audio port in my car, Otto takes over my wireless Sony ear buds when I’m close to the car and kills the Bluetooth signal from my iPhone to my ear buds. See the Car Play photo - that’s what pops up on my iPhone when Otto takes over my Tidal streaming. I unplugged Otto from the vehicle USB and my ear buds were fine. My Palisade must power Otto via the USB cable even when the ignition is off and allow it take over my iPhone. I'm looking for an improved brand or Otto model. It’s very odd to have my Sony ear buds die when I’m doing yard work so from now on, I unplug Otto when I’m doing yard work with my car in the driveway. 3/23 update. 3 months later through a tough, cold winter and “Otto” is still working nearly flawlessly with my iPhone 12 and Tidal streaming. As long as the Tidal app is open on my iPhone, connection is quick. I have not noticed any unusual drop outs or other quirks. It can take a minute or two for iPhone and Otto to connect if the Tidal app isn’t open. But if I click on the Tidal app on the Palisade media display, it connects nearly instantly. Really happy with Otto! 12/21/22 update - got my 2023 Hyundai Palisade and I transferred “Otto” directly from old Mazda CX-9 to the Palisade, which immediately detected Otto and Otto worked instantly. The functionality was nearly perfect just like my old Mazda, I have to click on the Tidal app on my cell phone to fire up streaming with Tidal. Once I do, Car Play and Tidal work perfect! Otherwise, no issues. Original Review - My expectations for this device were low. I was expecting to have to send it back. I was wrong on both counts. Once I got “Otto” set up, it worked flawlessly and wirelessly with my formerly hard wire only Apple Car Play. It even worked with my Tidal streaming app on my iPhone through Otto enabled wireless Air Play. I had to open the Tidal app after my car audio system and “Otto” booted up. My car audio system boots a lot slower than Otto. Navigation, phone, audio and every app worked fine. A couple of install notes. Make SURE you have real Apple Car Play - Otto just makes existing Car Play wireless, it doesn’t create the entire Apple Car Play universe. Make sure you use the proper USB port in your car. You can have multiple USB ports in your car and it’s possible only one works for audio and the rest are power only. That’s how my Mazda CX-9 is set up. Otto includes 2 connection cables. One is USB C to USB C and the other is USB A to USB C. If you don’t know the difference, Google them. You need the right cable. Follow the directions and you should be fine - in a 2019 Mazda CX-9 with Apple Car play. I’ll have connection data on a 2023 Hyundai Palisade in about 10 days after my new Palisade arrives. Hope this helps!

The pairing took only a few seconds and when starting the car, Apple CarPlay activation is instantaneous, no delay.

Funciona bien !!
