Unfortunately each of these boxes have different ways they're implemented and it seems these sellers just sell whatever box they have instock since technically all they're promising is that it is carplay/AA and it's compatible with your car.
I remember the first box I tried (joyeauto) did not have quadlock and it worked flawlessly. Only reason I switched is because I wanted wireless carplay and also OEM mic integration.
But yeah, anyone who gets a box that doesn't have quadlock (by design) shouldn't worry about it not being able to work. Some just don't need it and some do. I guess if you care about AUX over quadlock then you would need to worry about it.
