I received the TNVTEC at the weekend and set it up this morning in my XL. Can confirm it works perfectly, painless setup in a couple of minutes. Has maybe a 20-30 sec delay when you turn the car on which I can live with. Now I need to see if anyone wants the CPlay2Air I originally bought...
Don't have a spare phone to take a pic of it mounted, but here is a screenshot of both screens taken at the same time to give you an idea...
Dashscreen showing Apple Carplay
Phone Screen showing additional info from Waze
Running Carplay on my iPhone 12, haven't had an android since Jelly Bean. I use the splitscreen for Waze and Music but use my phonescreen to display the upcoming alerts. Do it this way in every car I've had that has Carplay.
I use the phone screen in conjunction with Apple CarPlay...especially for Waze, I can have the reports ahead on the phone screen while having the map and my music on the dash screen.
I used this one that is a MagSafe mount...planning on getting the wireless carplay adapter from amazon at some point too...then I'll route the wiring a bit better.

I'm sitting at about 22.6 with almost 2k miles on the truck. About a 50/50 mix of surface streets and highway. Usually hit some stop-and-go traffic on the way home and I have a bit of a lead foot when I get the chance. Hard on the gas and hard on the brakes.
I had experience with the BMW i3 for 5 years. Both were leases since battery tech seems to be following Moore's law for now and I didn't think there would be much resale value in them.
The first i3 was the one with the Range Extender built in. On pure electric the range was 64 miles I believe...
