Carplay requires actual wifi to be wireless, I'm pretty sure. It definitely doesn't work over Bluetooth! (You can of course pair your phone to your car with Bluetooth, but that's a different thing.)

Looks like it technically uses Bluetooth for connecting, but it does indeed require wi-fi for the actual carplay experience.
