Wireless CarPlay

The title is a bit of a clickbait, I admit

But has anyone on here tried one of these dongles:

According to manufacturer- it supports Volvo 2016-> models..

I’m sort of sick & tired waiting for Volvo to enable it on our cars..

I saw a YouTube video of this , looks good but at 195€ I’ll stick with the wire.

has anyone taken the plunge yet? I have and I am waiting for adapter to arrive which will allow wireless CarPlay. It just plugs into the CarPlay usb socket. I have also ordered a Qi charger designed for the S/XC range.

Keen to know how both of these items work out. Can you provide a review once you’ve tested them?
Thanks

I had a rental 7 series with wireless apple car play, some things lagged ever so slightly which was fine, but the worst thing is, with wireless carplay and charging the thing loses charge quicker than the wireless charger can charge it!!!!!

This was an 11 Pro Max so other phones might be different.

if that's true- than there's really no point investing in the dongle..

D3GGY, please do share your experience once you get to install/use it for a few days.
