absolute steal for the latest and greatest from carlinkit. i have one of these and it works well. ive admittedly only tested the android auto so far but i imagine carplay is just as good from what i've seen.
this is a successor to the carlinkit 5, which was well received on here at almost $40.
this supports both usb c and usb a.
detailed review here from anthony barker, who reviews a lot of these dongles

this is an affiliated item, so don't forget about your 19% tcb cashback
(you can check affiliation here). you can also stack with ali's in-house cashback and coins.
before someone else points it out, ill note that if you happen to have a raspberry pi (or similar sbc) with the right specs (usb otg + wifi/bt + low power enough for a car context) you can set it up as a wireless aa or wireless carplay dongle. i dont believe there's any way to do both with an rpi but id love to be corrected on this
stolen from clear:
For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:
Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:
- Set the website currency to USD
- Checkout with PayPal
- Select your card with no international fees
- Click "See currency options"
- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
- Proceed with checkout
Great find - @WatchNerd and myself can at least rest for a while when these spams were monthly previously
