Which one did you get? I've been looking to get one recently but have heard that they're kind of a crapshoot and not very polished in UX.

I've got a Quadlock for my Audi and I'm returning it, disconnects often.

I got a generic "ATOTO" one that was on sale. I had to upgrade the firmware since there was some audio stutter after about 15 minutes, but after that it's been just as stable as wired CarPlay for me.

I just got a carlinkit 5.0 and initial impression is that it's working great with very little latency. Can't speak to long term reliability.

Should also mention I bought mine via this deal for $40

As far as "not very polished UX", after connecting it's been nothing but the standard CarPlay interface. The instructions say there's a web UI accessible via wifi where you can install updates or change configuration but I had no need to use it. Just connect with Bluetooth, wait a second, and accept the "Connect to CarPlay" popup.

This is the one I have http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0B8RKXK9R/donhosek

It’s been in use for a year with not a single issue. I set it up with my phone and have been able to forget about its existence ever since.
