Given the trouble my rental has connected wired CarPlay I am not convinced about wireless CarPlay.

Also, I find google maps navigation to drain quite a bit. Don’t you wanna charge?

If I want to, sure. Otherwise the data port you plug in to for your wired CarPlay is usually a really slow charger. I prefer to use my 12v charger. So I got a MagSafe charger and a wireless CarPlay adapter.

Haven’t had a problem in my vehicle and I’ve been using wireless CarPlay daily for close to 2 years.

On a longer trip I’ll pull my phone out of my pocket and put it on the Qi charger, but around town I’ve never seen much drain
