CarPlay CarPlay adapter to convert to wireless CarPlay?

Folks, thanks to sterling contributions by @MrMister111 as the Original Poster and many many others during the past 332 pages such as Vlud whose name is no longer appearing when I hit @ and the first characters of his name, so here's a shout out to his Github repository: here, and many many more, the products and market for CarPlay Wireless Adapters has advanced dramatically. There are more products than ever before, with relatively lower prices and improved stability and compatibility. That last however still with some exceptions! CarLinkIT and other manufacturers deserve recognition for their responsiveness to individual consumers and maybe even discussions here.

Why this eulogy? Simple! I am closing the CarPlay Wireless Adapter Issue Log with thanks to everyone who has contributed to it and hopefully it provided some useful information to those consulting it. But I think it has served its purpose and maybe I will find something else to add to my forum signature going forward!

Onward and upward!

EDIT: I just have to mention my current adapter and all time favourite from Sunweyer that remains the single most stable and reliable adapter that I have ever owned: this one!
 
Wondering if the mini ultra solves the iPhone 16 Pro Max audio skip / cut out issue. Carlinkit 5.0 has this issue and Carlinkit has acknowledged the problem but it’s been over a year without a fix.
 
I bought this one for use in rental cars and it worked in both without a hitch or any appreciable lag or audio issues.

Served my needs. Used it with an iPhone 13 mini FWIW.

Cars were:

2025 VW Jetta and Mitsubishi Outlander

Just a note here for a very specific application. The AAWireless Two+, which recently distributed its Indiegogo Perks, is an update of an Android Auto wireless adapter that added native CarPlay support. The highlight functionality is easy switching between paired devices on any platform, AA or CarPlay... unfortunately, it does not work reliably with Mazda vehicles. (Although when it does work, it's more responsive than my old CarLinkit 2.0.) The company has been quite responsive in trying to solve the problem, but they have concluded they'll be unable to solve it on their end.

Anyone have any suggestions for an adapter that offers easier switching between paired devices?
