CarPlay is also a requirement for me. Wireless not so much. The adapters are pretty good these days.

Recommendations? I purchased a device that lets me watch video in the head unit (runs Android and uses CarPlay protocol), and adds wireless CarPlay. However, it's shocking at how slow it is at going into CarPlay mode.

I bought this 2-3 years ago https://cplay2air.com and it has always worked wonderfully. It takes around 5 seconds to connect, which is fine for me since the entertaining system of my car it’s slow to startup anyway (totalling ~10 seconds from turning the key to carplay)

What adapter do you use? My car has a USB A port that accepts a regular iPhone charging cable - takes all of five seconds to connect as I'm getting in the car.
