Looking for some responses from others that have this device: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BD6V7M57

I've had it installed in my Mav since last September with zero issues. Last month, prior to updating my Sync version, it had just stopped working. It was recognized by the Mav as a bluetooth device but didn't open CarPlay at all. I did a Sync reset, updated the Sync software, used both the USB-A and USB-C ports, and even went as far as contacting the seller and getting a replacement device sent to me. Unfortunately none of those options worked. I still can't get it working.

The weird thing is that both the original device and the replacement device work perfectly in my wife's Honda. Additionally, wired CarPlay works perfectly in my Mav. I have no idea why the Mav is just ignoring the wireless CarPlay device but any input here would be much appreciated.

Is your phone still setup to connect to your Mav with bluethooth? The little blurb on Amazon says (Before you start, let your phone forget about the regular Bluetooth/Wifi connection to the car)

Just to follow up on this, for anyone that may stumble across it, I fixed it.

I did a factory reset on my sync3 screen, removed all CarPlay/bluetooth devices from my phone related to the wireless CarPlay device, plugged in the device and set everything up again. Working again so far!
