It works a treat. I’m looking at how I can move it into the glovebox (or behind the dash) and install a wireless charger. So, @Dellmassive ’s “how to install USB” thread is being studied these days!
I’ve got a different version called Carlinkit 2.0 in both my Golf (RCD330) and my T6 (discover media I think).
Works great. About £65 from AliExpress. Have been using them for years.
Would also like to relocate to the glove box!
It’s on my to-do list, too! What’s the connection like - stable?

Dash USB blanking-cover?
Hi just purchased a wireless adapter for apple CarPlay, has anyone moved the usb/aux to in glove box or behind dash? is there a blank to cover the original if moved? Lokking fo suggestions was looking at fitting the van x glovebox and putting it in there.
Haven’t had it long enough yet to comment. @Texxaco has hand one for longer….then again, with covid, not many are travelling any distance at the momentIt’s on my to-do list, too! What’s the connection like - stable?

My two are very good. This guy does lots of balanced reviews of various CarPlay dongles.It’s on my to-do list, too! What’s the connection like - stable?

Generally speaking, my two units…
- connect fairly quickly, approx 30 secs, by the time I leave by street,
- are fairly stable, freeze sometimes but so rarely I can’t even estimate the frequency (I just unplug and plug back in)
- do suffer some lag on the touch controls, not enough to negate the convenience of not having to plug a wire in,
- music and phone calls always work perfectly, without any glitches and or stuttering,
- can connect multiple phones and switch between them - swapping mid journey is a tad slow, but wife and I use our cars with our own phones without trouble,
- Siri works fine, even without any button press.
No brainier for me. Clearly happy with the first, as I bought a second! And also bought one for a family member.
To be fair this is not for the van but it will produce some nice mattress/seat covers!
Nice. Getting the rear camera as well?
looking at a mattress topper to hopefully improve our nights sleep, we currently use a duvalay with a self inflating mattress, has anyone got or used this from Argos…Aidapt 5.0cm Memory Foam Cool Mattress Topper (double) then cut to size.

I’m working on the exact same for our 130cm RIB. We’ve tried a 10cm Vango self-inflating mattress. Pretty comfortable but an absolutely b*****d to deflate. And anything inflatable inevitably leaks or deflates. Then we tried 2.5cm compact Duvalay mattress toppers. Not comfortable enough for my sore back.
I’ve just today pushed the button on a 5cm Gold memory foam mattress topper from Duvalay.
I’m going to go broke trying to find the right bedding!
Bought these covers from Transporter HQ can’t wait to get them fitted. Slowly getting there with the van
10cm air bed from decathlon did the trick for us
Haven’t decided yet! The remote one seems good!
Be very interested in how you get on with the 5cm duvalay as that's what we're looking at.
Just ordered a Rhino Bootliner thanks to the thread by @marmite monster and images by @Dave F . Thanks! Looks just what I need to protect the back of the new van.
The info you can glean from the threads in this forum really is great….and costly
