How to Make Wired CarPlay, wireless CarPlay. I added wireless CarPlay to my 2019 Golf. Installing a wireless CarPlay adapter is as simple as plugging it into the wired CarPlay port. You can ditch the worn out apple cord, and go WIRELESS.

I got the Carlinkit 2.0 dongle for my Golf R 2017. It works like a charm. Activate when ever you want to send a message, play music, play Audiobook, Waze & Google map work like I'm plugging my phone. All I noticed is the 2 seconds delay when you play music, audiobook or playing vice message in iMessage. I had experimental yesterday, I went to a Volkswagen dealer, to check the new Gold GTI and to check the wireless charger & the wireless CarPlay, I was impressed by the Wireless CarPlay performance, no delay at all.

I bought one of these for my 2018 F150 and it works great. After we sold off my wife's 2018 MINI Countryman S All4 (that already was equipped with wireless CarPlay) and acquired a 2020 Acura RDX, I got another one for that. It works well, but not quite as great as it does in the F150. Still, it sure beats having that damnable cord hanging out. Well worth the 100 or so bucks!

I've got a Bluetooth mod for my old 01 saab that works flawlessly for playing music also got a small nfc pad that I tap my phone on to connect it. Gets connected in maybe 5-6 seconds, it's wonderful for playing music which is all I need and it lets me skip songs using the original steering wheel buttons

with you on the wired charging & CarPlay. It charges your phone a lot faster than wireless. So when you plug a phone in to charge, what happens with CarPlay? Does it take over the wireless CarPlay connection or leave it connected & it just charges the phone? I have both wireless charging & usb charging in my 2016 A4, with CarPlay & I would like the option for wireless CarPlay - but it would be annoying if you end up dropping connection to the wireless CarPlay when trying to charge another phone via usb 🧐

Can you clarify if this will help utilize the functions of Google Maps without having to plug in the wire connection. I ask this because in my car Bluetooth connection does it automatically without having to plug in a wire however I cannot use my Google Maps or simply speaking OK Google request to my cars built in screen without having it plugged in using a wire. So I would like to know if this device you're talkin about takes care of that or is it strictly for the Bluetooth connection. My question is in reference to a 2018 Hyundai Elantra. I am also very much looking forward to your explanation of wireless charging the problem I have with my car is even when I plug in the wire the phone doesn't charge and it is known to be a major headache for 2018 Hyundai models. Do you think this new wireless charger will be the answer to that headache.
