Not that anyone asked, but I’ve been using an Ottocast Wireless CarPlay adapter for about a month and am pretty happy with it. Nice to not always have to plug in.
Worth a look if you have a car that shipped with wired-only CarPlay.
Note that I was not at all happy with it until I unpaired my phone from the direct non-CarPlay Bluetooth connection to the head unit because it would get confused which to attach to at start.
@frank No. No noticeable latency compared to Bluetooth. Maybe takes a split second longer to connect when the car is first started, but no functional issues.
@agiletortoise our 16-year-old will be getting my 2011 outback in a couple of months. She really wants CarPlay, and I think it might be safer, but I’m having trouble finding a way to retrofit this thing at an agreeable and affordable price.
