Wired Apple Carplay
Is there any way to code in WIRED apple carplay? Wireless gives me tons of issues. One day it'll work fine, the next I will restart my car multiple times and it still won't work.

Are you me? And no. Can't seem to find a way.
Whats worse is that when my wife is driving she can't leech of my dataplan, because the whole ordeal is wireless, and as such her phone doesn't connect to my hotspot. |

Hahah it sucks. In my driveway I am still connected to wifi and it stops carplay from connecting. I'm usually in my car for a good 5 minutes trying to get a connection before I leave.

I wear an apple watch everyday and never thought that could be it! But everytime I turn my car on, my phone is connected to my home wifi instead of carplay... :/ Have to manually switch it or drive off and wait and hope it connects...

funny to read this.
I posted about how the wireless carplay sync drives me nuts, because in my truck carplay is only a wired plug-in option. My BMW will cut out when streaming music pretty routinely when driving through Detroit. I gotta imagine something wirelessly is just not strong enough. My truck never has that issue, same routes too. |

I see 2 reasons, which may not be mutually exclusive: 1: when on WiFi for CarPlay iOS reduces power to the cell chip, i.e. you have less reception 2: your BMW has worse reception due to materials used? Tip: Does your car have a Wireless Charging Tray? If so, does it help if you put the phone in there, as doing that should activate the Cell Booster. |

This being the normal tray or the wireless tray. If so, it does have the LTE compensator. For it to work the phone must be in the tray in the console. Taking it out will deactivate the LTE compensator. Then: retrofit is hard because not only do you need to retrofit the module, but also the antenna. |

I had a big issue with car play cutting in and out when I first got the car. I spent 6 months with apple trying to figure out. The final fix they gave me was to disconnect the battery and reconnect. Apple said that it fixed another BMW owners issue. That was a year ago it has all but eliminated the disconnects. I also have an Apple Watch and home wifi that is connected when start up. It switches over seamlessly. I do have the wireless charger but I barely use it.
