I got the U2 Air a while back. They do not recommend to update the software if nothings wrong, but I did and it was noticeably smoother/faster.

Bought the Ottocast wire U2air back in late '22. No issues with it auto booting, speed of boot, lag, or sound quality with it. Converted my '22 ES from wired to wireless carplay for $68.00 (device from Amazon) and $8.00 for flat cord from Aliexpress so I could close the lid over the rig once installed.

I got the
Ottocast U2 x-pro Ottocast U2 x-pro
because I originally had an android. A bit wonky to convert it to AA but a lot smoother for Carplay. Load up is about 20-35 seconds and there's about a full second delay when you switch songs or when you play a video from your phone. Other than that, it has only crashed a total of maybe 5 times? where I had to unplug and plug back in. Sound quality sounds normal and navigating through the screen is pretty fluid.

Just placed an order for Ottocast U2 Air pro.
I hope iT will work OK. I hate the fricking delays and crashes.

Here is my current setup that allows me to have the cup holder completely closed with CarPlay.
I owe it all to this forum!
