This one seems good based on the reviews.

I don't have my truck yet, so I haven't looked too deep into it, but I think others here have highly recommended one made by Motorolla (MA1 I think?)

I like my AAWireless. It's been pretty near flawless and the interchangeable chord offers more flexibility unlike the MA1's fixed USB-A connector. I have mine connected to the USB-C port so I can use more common USB-A flash drives (well, if the radio UI wasn't kind of awful for it). They're also developing CarPlay functionality.

I bought the Motorola MA1 for Android. This thing is flawless! make sure to follow the set up steps and do the firmware update. I have a Sonata currently and it always connect between 5-10 sec. sometimes my car lags on the infotainment startup process.
I have never had it cut out even once. Its on sale a little right now on Amazon. I picked it up black Friday weekend for $60 or $65. either way after researching all the options. this one seemed to work the best..... Buy quality and you only cry once.

I have a cheapie one and it's been working fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BZTTGMH1

I believe there are several that install an app on your phone and I would not get that because it's another thing that could be unreliable or even malicious. The one I linked you just plug in to your USB type A port and double-stick tape it right underneath that. It's pretty much out of the way and then if you ever want to unplug it, you can.

There are also some that support both CarPlay and Android Auto. I have had to unplug my adapter in order for my son to use wired CarPlay, but he drives my truck very rarely (and I'm in it).

Another thumbs up on the Motorola MA1. Not alot of experience with it yet, though.

I hooked it up yesterday. It paired quickly, works as advertised and it automatically pairs every time I enterd the truck.

No glitches, thus far.

Carplay already works on the AAWireless adapter, I've been using it for a few months.
Connects to my iphone 13 mini or Oneplus 9 Android phone, both work great.

I used the Moto A1 for over 6 months, it works great as well. Only switched to AAWireless to get Carplay & Android Auto.
