Sorry for the slight offtopic but is there an equivalent trusted brand for CarPlay? Amazon CP offering is exactly as described by OP, endless reskins of the same crappy products, stuffed to the gills with hundreds of fake reviews (many via review hijacking) in the few weeks that they live on the platform. Then a wave of bad reviews from actual customers who got a lemon.

Review sites are just as bad, they get a product for free, give it a stellar review after 1 day of playing with it, and move on to create the next SEO spam article.

If AA Wireless is really good, maybe someone has a recommendation for the "other garden".
