In general, I like this unit a lot. I now leave my phone in my pocket, and it automatically connects to AirPlay if I have bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled on my phone (which I normally do, but sometimes don't).
It works well ... I have only two quibbles with it, neither of which are cause by the device, but they may affect your interest in purchasing one:
1) If your phone has Wi-Fi and bluetooth enabled, then the device will automatically connect and launch CarPlay (sometimes I want to use non-carplay features, and while it is easy to switch, it might be annoying that it defaults to launching CarPlay (many people wouldn't care about this).
2) If you pick up your phone (e.g. when stopped) to use it for something else, it drops out of CarPlay, and on my car, the car then defaults to the car's navigation app (which I never use and don't like - but it came with the car). I'd much prefer if the car defaulted to whatever I had last selected (in this case, radio)
So both of these quibbles are about the interaction of the unit with the car's on-board screen (which includes audio, but also things like the heat / air-conditioning). Nothing about this is due to problems with the unit (more about the car's onboard software), but it may affect your decision to purchase.
As for the unit, if you want wireless CarPlay, this gives you the capability, and it works well.
Finally: The setup instructions are explicit and very particular about the steps and order of actions. Follow them EXACTLY, or setup can become difficult. It works, but it's more complicated than it should be. I had jumped the gun and didn't follow them exactly, and then I had a bit of work to do to get things back to original state to start the setup process again. The second time it worked perfectly.
