Which car is available for Wireless Carplay now?

[contato]

Few cars that support wireless Apple CarPlay as of 2022. Several 2019 and newer Audis, BMW 5 and 3 Series 2017 and newer; and Mercedes A-Class 2018 and newer are a few of those special vehicles. Wireless CarPlay was a new feature in iOS 9 that combined Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals to connect your iPhone to your vehicle. It is said that Fords will include wireless CarPlay. But it will still be far from a universal feature in vehicles.

So, I am wondering which model include wireless carplay now? Any advice?

To my knowledge the Big Bronco's and new F150/250+ support sync 4...and I'd bet the Mach E as well but I haven't looked into that one because well, its not a mustang.

My friend has a Wireless Carplay Adapter. It is said that it does work as advertised, it has never failed to connect, or disconnect while in use. When you get in the car it begins to connect and is operational in about 15 to 20 seconds. All CarPlay Apps work, he has16 installed. A new iPhone 12 Pro connects to 5G Hi-Def music at 320 kbps...and it sounds superb.

Any successful experience would be appreciated. https://autokitcarplay.com/blogs/autokit-blogs/product-u2w-plus

My two cents.

Call me a skeptic. I have never had an issue with Wired Carplay and SYNC3.

I can imagine a bag of hurt. Wireless integration software is hard to do. Very hard.

Wireless Carplay working seamlessly with SYNC4 for more than 6 months is a dream.

Scenario 1: Your iPhone updates to latest iOS -- breaking "wireless Carplay" because SYNC4 version doesn't support the new iOS.

Scenario 2: SYNC4 Updates -- breaking your iPhone which is running a version of iOS that no longer works.

This is validated over in Mustang Mach-E land...
Wireless Apple CarPlay no longer connecting

But.. it is a matter of time before Apple removes the headphone jack.

The car's built-in wireless Carplay costs more money than the regular Carplay. It’s frustrating for everyone, really. For many, many years people have been saying “Just give us the wireless carplay, and we don’t need your built-in navigation and we would rather go wireless than have wired. Back in 2018, I was looking at a Honda Civic and they were offering wireless for $600 more!

But now, you can choose wireless carplay Dongle to get Carplay wirelessly.

My BS will be placed as a 2023 model order.

I wonder if the 2023 BS might have Sync 4?
