I have used one of the Ottocast wireless adapters on my 350Z for a little over a year. With these you do not have to plug your phone into a USB cable. I have been pleased with it except for the slow connect time (up to 40 seconds) and sometimes it fails to connect to the phone. I have recently learned that the newer versions of the adapter now use 5g WiFi rather than the 2.4 g WiFi with much better speed. I bought one of these from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Auerds-Wireless-Carplay-Adapter-Bluetooth/dp/B0CJ4P21FK/ref=sr_1_6?crid=6BTH3XXU63P5&keywords=apple+carplaywireless+adapter&qid=1698156376&sprefix=carplayw,aps,106&sr=8-6 and it reduced the connect time to about 5 seconds. This one will only work with CarPlay but other slightly more expensive adapters will support both Android Play and CarPlay. I got one to replace the Ottocast and another for the BS. Pleased so for.
