Hi, is anyone using a dongle for wireless Carplay? Hard to find one below PS50 so I'd like to be sure what I'm picking up... Comments on your experience with yours are welcome. Thanks!

I'm using the CarlinKit 4.0 with Apple CarPlay on an iPhone XR, I'd say it's maybe 95% trouble free, occasionally doesn't initialise with the Sync 3 system, just unplug for a few secs plug back in to reset and it's good to go again.
I was using it with Sync 3 (Upgraded from Sync 2) in my 2015 Focus, played up more often there, been pretty much 100% with Sync 3 in the Kuga.
I brought some command strips and stuck the module in the gap above the front USB ports, and connected to the USB-C port in the front with wire tucked up out of the way.
I ordered the car with the Wireless Phone Charger, so simply just place the phone on the wireless charger when I get in the car, after 10 secs or so from ignition on it's all linked up and good to go with Apple CarPlay.
The CarlinKit 4.0 also works with Android Auto, which I tested when I had it in the Focus, worked fine, haven't tried this in the Kuga yet, but I expect it to work fine.
