Can't speak to whether it's less laggy or not, but what I've read is that it's gotten better. I can speak from experience for what I'm about to say - I ran the Tesla-Android solution for about 6 months. If you're frustrated by the hoops you have to jump through to get CarPlay working each time you get in the car with the T2C you'll be super frustrated with the Tesla-Android setup.Does anyone know if the Tesla-Android project way of getting CarPlay is any less laggy at least? (Since it still needs to use an adapter from the same manufacturer)
You'll have similar problems getting your Tesla connected to the TA WiFi, but it will take longer as the boot time is much longer. Once that connections out of the way you need the iPhone / CarPlay connection to fire. In my experience this is MUCH smoother with T2C, almost a non-issue. On TA it was a nightmare for me. Sometimes I could kill the AutoKit app on the Android interface... there were a few work arounds include a full reboot of TA but none of them were 100% consistent. I even bought another Carlinkit dongle.
Unfortunately, while TA is a great project, the developer is not focused on optimizing the CarPlay connection experience as it relates to getting in and out of the car and getting the connection going.
