- joezydeco 1y agoCan you implement CarPlay now without the MFI chip?
- sokoloff 1y agoDoes anyone prefer wired CarPlay over Wireless CarPlay? I was annoyed enough that our used/new-to-us 2020 vehicle only supported wired that I bought a wired-to-wireless adapter and brought it with me on test drives to ensure that whatever I bought would work well in wireless mode [or else I was buying a different car]. I installed a wireless charger under one of the cubbies that was well sized to hold my phone on long drives. No need to faff around with cables.

- bigfatkitten 1y ago> Does anyone prefer wired CarPlay over Wireless CarPlay? Yes, for the main reason that I have a Starlink Mini on my roof rack. My phone can connect to the vehicle via wifi, or it can connect to the internet over Starlink via wifi, but not both simultaneously. With wired CarPlay, that problem is solved.

- joezydeco 1y agoThat's just for cables, I think you still need MFI (and all the paperwork and approvals and cost and the chip itself) that go with it if you want to implement a CarPlay receiver.
