    Shit, the only place I even plug my phone into now is my car because I was too dumb to wait a few months for the refresh that came with wireless CarPlay.

    I use MagSafe at home for all of my charging, and airdrop/airplay for pretty much everything else that isn’t synced to iCloud.

        I’ve thought about it. I haven’t decided how long I’m keeping this car though. The practical mind in me says keep it until the wheels fall off.

        The enthusiast in me really wants a dark horse Mustang though lol.

            And wired CarPlay works for me. Wireless would be nice but it’s not a necessity for me, especially given that that dongle would be useless to me if I do change cars here soon anyway.

            I’ve looked around at the wireless CarPlay adapters, the consensus seems to be that to get one without any significant latency and operates as close to native wireless CarPlay, it’s gonna be in the $1-200 range too. That’s a decent amount for something I might only use for a few months.

              There is a little lag on mine. GPS is still usable, though the battery drain makes it less worthwhile on long trips. For me it’s been fantastic for short trips as I often just never took my phone out of my pocket when I wasn’t going far. It’s the CarLink 3.0 available on Amazon down to $52 with on page coupon.
