Q3: How to choose it?
Basically it depand on your needs, we just offer our recommendatons:
>> For the iPhone users, since it support wireless connection, thus, you can choose "Built-in Carplay" Or "Wireless Dongle". If you want to use as wired connection, choose "wireless dongle" or "wired dongle".
If you choose "built-in Carplay" and use as wired connection, the other USB on the back of Android screen will stop working. The "built-in Carplay" mainly designed for wireless connection.
>> For Android Phone users, if your phone is old model, you can choose " Built-in " or " wired dongle".
But if your phone support wireless Android Auto (Only a number of android phone support wireless connection, such as Galaxy S8, S8+ etc ), then recommend the "built-in" Android Auto, that way, it will be wireless connection.
