    Wireless CarPlay adapter, need CarPlay for it to work but if I can just go with wireless CarPlay and wireless charging then this is a killer app.

    It works on MB for sure. It's also 1/3 of the price on Ali Express.

    You using one?

    I might grab one for all my vehicles. Haha

    I need to find the Android Auto equivalent. Wireless Carplay/AA is bomb.

    I'm not, no. I've just read about it on mbworld. The placement of the unit eats up a cupholder in my car, which is where my phone sits when it's plugged in now defeating the purpose.

    edit - just checked on AliExpress it's only $60 cheaper and not 1/3 of the price. The 1/3 price is for people only with Android Auto, and it connects CarPlay to it. Made by the same company. My bad.

    Luckily I can hide the dongle in my console and never see it which is a plus.

    I’ll try and figure out where the lease sketch place to buy these from us and I’ll Guinea pig one and let you know my results.

    I’ve only used wireless CarPlay on the aftermarket head unit I have, but overall it’s still not stable enough for me. I quickly switched back to using wired. Not sure how robust / stable this model is but just something to watch out for.

    Also, wireless eats your phone battery a lot quicker but I see you are planning to use wireless charging at the same time so probably not an issue for you

    Wireless charging in MB is slow as balls. If it's a battery drain it'll just slow down the drain haha. Not that wired is that much faster either. Oddly enough, the plug in the back seat that doesn't connect to the infotainment system is a full 10w charger.

    Is wireless charging and it’s effectiveness affected by surface area?

    Why do I ask? Fucking iPads should have that shit.

    Bigger just means you need a lot more rings to have one hit the charging sweet spot from an alignment perspective.

    It would also take a very long time to charge an iPad on a standard wireless charger (5-7.5W).

    I've stated on other forums, that if you are going to only get <10 watts from wireless charging an Ipad, you might as well just use a solar panel.

    You can get about 20% conversion efficiency from a monocrystalline panel, and you can actually optimize the frequencies of light that the panels absorb by using LED's that only emit that particular spectrum - giving a healthy boost there too. Make the light slightly brighter than the sun, and have it on a pad that only turns on based on "proximity" like some sort of magnetic on/off sheath, and you won't even see the light, because of course, its blocked when charging. Added bonus is that you can do trickle charge when leaving in regular sunlight on your desk upside down, or if you happen to have a glass desk - then trickle charging all the time.

    I think the primary reason that Apple is pushing this induction charging, is because they do not own any solar panel patents.

    I mean seriously, they had solar calculators when I was going to elementary school, and those panels were sucktacular efficiency.

    BTW: The day that they said "glass backed phone" was the day I was sure that solar panel backed phones were coming.

    Apple tried to revolutionize Qi with AirPower and completely bungled it, projected was completely shelved after years of trying and over a year after it was announced.

    It's been very stable for me on two BMW's. It's a game changer IMO. I didn't use CarPlay much on cars that had wired CarPlay but since driving BMW's I use it everyday wireless as you just get in the car and it turns on.

    How’s the sound volume when on wireless CarPlay. Bluetooth audio is horrible. When your plugged in with car play it’s perfect.

    It's no different. Runs off the exact same protocols/codecs and acts like a wired transmission.

    Bluetooth can be horrible because of shitty codec support. Most newer systems and all aftermarket decks within last couple of years has the bare minimum quality codec support (aptx/aac) and sounds great on Android/iOS. Cars with half assed systems fall back to base SBC A2DP sound like shit. Tesla's are notorious for only supporting aac, so if you have an android phone, BT sounds like shit as it falls back to SBC.

    The CarPlay connection on BMW's is via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination. As said above it doesn't sound discernibly different than wired.
