I installed the 2022 TNVTEC CarPlay Activator Dongle CarPlay adapter from Amazon, installed it yesterday and it's working great so far. Boots quickly. Very little lag.

Bought it based off this review:
When you say boots quicky how fast are we talkin?

The reviewer in that YouTube video goes into detail on that, but for me it’s been less than 20 seconds every time. I’ve only had it for a little over a day, so that’s only 4 or 5 startups. But it seems faster than what others have experienced with other adapters.

I also can confirm the AutoBox by TNVTEC CarPlay wireless adapter works perfectly. Got it today and it synced right up in my XL.

Nice. Just out of curiosity, if you just connect the phone with bluetooth without car play/android auto, can you just stream media audio via BT?
Yes you can. You can stream music with BT only. No need to connect with car play.

Any of them will work with the Sync 3 system. I have the CPlay2Air and it works GREAT!

Thanks for the recommendation. Several others also said good things about the TNVTEC. Good reviews too. Well, I went to Amazon to check it out and low and behold . . . it's on sale! Normally $94.90 but 11% discount making it $84.90. But wait! That's not all, if you look closely, there is a $15 coupon (as of 2/4/2022) that brought the price down to $69.90 (before taxes). I wasn't going to buy any add ons until I get my Maverick, who knows when that will be. That just changed. I hope I didn't jinx myself by doing this and Ford delays production for another year. Oh well, if so, I will now have a CarPlay dongle adapter for whenever Maverick arrives.

@CZaugg I've looked closely but still missing the $15 coupon. Is it a code listed somewhere or did it just show up when adding it to your cart? I'm about done trying to get my CPlay2Air to work (and dealing with their "support").

I don't believe this! I just went to Amazon to look for that $15 coupon and discovered it is no longer there. Reason for this I can not explain. Yesterday when I ordered it, the coupon was just under the 11% discount price, which today is NOT there. I'm sorry to see that. I must have hit some kind of special yesterday. Good for me, but not so good for everyone I led astray. Sorry this coupon didn't last past the 4th. Still a good price though. I wonder how much longer the 11% discount will last???

I think Amazon works with manufacturers to add these on new and large inventory items to get them out of a warehouse and or reviews up. My guess is once so many are sold the coupon expires.

For anyone wanting to wait till the price is better, CamelCamelCamel is great but doesn't help with coupons. You can set up email alerts for price changes.
