Anyone have any real world experience with this?

You could get a USB extension cable and mount it behind the panel below the steering wheel. That's what I did with my carplay dongle.

That panel is already loose from a ill fated ditch lights switch install. At least I don't even need tools to take it off. lol I'll check it out. Thank you!

I zip tied it to the metal framework behind the panel. It's been fine for over a year.

Haha, you used some of that good old ROADKILL engineering lol.
Duct tape, zip ties and mechanics wire.

You forgot the most important one....

When it doesn't fit, make it fit!

Saw it on IG the other day. Supposed to give you wireless Carplay/AA by swapping the OEM USB for this one. Did a Google search and found it on Amazon. Interesting. Says sync3, don't know if there's a Ranger option or not though, still looking.

No heating issues like some of the reviews show?

No issues, never felt it, no idea if it gets hot or not.

I saw those too but it could be their vehicle or even a faulty batch of them. One good thing about Amazon (even though I don't like them) is you can return anything within 30 days for free. I've bought several things that had so - so reviews that turned out to be great. Even bought a couple things where even Amazon had a label on it "This item is often returned" which worked out fine. For $20 I might try this one too and then see how the one @a6m5 works out for him.
