Switching from my Pixel 5 to an iPhone 14 when it's released - But what about Carplay?

[MCS]

So I can plug my Pixel 5 into the arm rest USB cable port and it works. Most of the time. If I move the phone it sometimes disconnects etc.

Android Auto has the Motorola product that was just released that sort of gives WIRELESS Android Auto to the Mustang.

What does Apple have? Anything?

Ideally, I'm looking to be able to just jump in the car and have stuff accessible without having to use clunky wiring.

What are you referring to exactly? Apple also does wireless Carplay if your vehicle has it built in. Not sure I understand what you are asking.

Android Auto is not Wireless in the Mustang. You have to use a USB-C to USB-A cable and have it hanging out the side of the armrest.

The Motorola plugs into the USB port in the arm rest and then hooks to your phone via BluTooth and basically gives you true wireless android auto experience; plex, waze, spotify etc.

I was going to get the Motorola MA1 or whatever it's called but it's for Android Auto and not iPhone so not really much point in me getting it until I make a final decision on if I'm going to switch or not.

Basically, I want to sit in the car with an iPhone and never have to plug things in.

Then get a bluetooth Apple Carplay adapter that you keep plugged into the vehicle at all times and then connects to your phone through bluetooth thus making the connection to the car without any wires that you have to mess with.

Uh huh, that's what I'm looking for. What are other people using for this task?

Are you referring to devices like this? If so there are many out there.

Yes, something like that. Looking for something to put in my armrest and forget about.

Each time I throw the iPhone into the cup holder it'll just connect and I can stream my music from my own PLEX server.
