I rarely use anything but satellite radio for music anyway, so this really isn't an issue. In her car, my phone connects via the more traditional BT interface so I can make and receive calls, listen to driving directions etc. My wife and I get around this by only pairing one phone to the car with CarPlay. Without a wide use of the wireless version, it may take longer for Apple to fix issues with it since not a lot of people may be using it. With the higher price tag attached to car models that have wireless CarPlay, a lot of people may just settle for the wired version in the base models. There are adapters out there - like the Teeran Wireless Adapter - that allow you to plug the accessory into the USB port you would plug your iPhone into and get access to CarPlay wirelessly. It's a battle against time with CarPlay, and you don't always come out the winner in round one. It is as annoying the other way around if you want to connect your device to CarPlay but someone else's is already connected. It becomes an annoying process - especially when you want to connect Bluetooth headphones, but your iPhone keeps connecting to CarPlay.Įnabling Airplane Mode or disabling Bluetooth will not solve the issue, and your iPhone will still connect to the car.

You have to disconnect from CarPlay from your device, and if the other person is not quick enough, your device will reconnect. You can have multiple devices saved to your car - to use with CarPlay - at once, but if you are in the car and someone else wants to use CarPlay on their device, switching is a little difficult. Wireless CarPlay con - Changing devices is a hassle
