Description says it adds smart voice assistant. Just curious if anybody added this to their installation.
This dongle (A0585) enables Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

I have it and have been playing around with it.
It does what it says but it's kind of buggy. For example if you have Carplay activated and then use your phone, the screen on the Eonon goes blank. And it stays blank until you kill the "Autokit" app and restart it. Kind of a pain.

I would recommend that you try just tethering to your phone over WiFi/Bluetooth and install whatever apps you need on the Eonon itself.
