Anyone successfully connected wireless carplay

[George22]

Hi. I have a 2022 PHEV and would like to connect wirelessly to CarPlay, instead of using the USB cable. Do I need an adapter and if so has anyone any experience of how good or bad these are? And can recommend any? Thanks.

Interesting. I have never managed to get Andoid Auto to work without a USB cable connection. I attributed that to me being unfamiliar with the Toyota multi media system. That's on a 2023 PHEV.

What does the Multimedia / Navigation Manual for your car say is possible?

If the manual says that it is possible, you should be able to connect wirelessly to ACP following the instructions given. If it is not specified as possible, you may be able to connect wirelessly using an adapter (plugged in to the USB port).

Yes you will need a wired to wireless adapter on the 2022 if the head unit already supports wired carplay. 
i use a Carlinkit 2air v5 

been using that for a number of years on my 2022 Prius. The latest update (september 2024) is stable and supports the new carplay features released in ios18. See my other post about the Apple intelligence/siri bug pre 18.1 and how to get around it.

Thanks everyone. I will look for the wired to wireless adapter. Currently used cabled but am a bit worried the phone overheats on 4 hour + long journeys , so it’s going to be wireless for me. I will try wirelessly without the adapter first but I don’t have much faith in it working for me.

If your profile is up to date, a 2022 PHEV does not have wireless CarPlay or AA. I believe the newer GRS has wireless CarPlay but not Wireless AA (could have got that the wrong way around, but interestingly the Yaris with the smart connect multimedia has both!). I have this for wireless CarPlay in a 2021 PHEV and it’s been fine. https://amzn.eu/d/hK1fnEn

The carlinkit can be had for under £30 from Ali express. I actually use this wireless kit for the opposite of most ppl, the wired usb port charge very slow 500mah. So charge quick via the 12v port while using wireless Nav.

Anyone using wireless AA adapter on the 2024 infotainment system?
