Default car play wireless adapter
I'm looking for recommendations for a carplay wireless adapter I can use in my 2022 XC60 with an iPhone.

There was a thread 3 years ago so presume there are newer devices now.

You should be able to connect your phone via Bluetooth? That’ll allow you to stream music etc.
or am I missing something?

Wireless CarPlay allows you to run navigation apps like Waze, Google or Apple Maps without having to connect your phone via a cable.

We've been using this one for a few years and it's been fine: https://cplay2air.com/en-gb although there are probably many more options now!

On a 2022 XC60 the system is Google AAOS and the sat nav is live Google Maps. Also you can install the Waze app directly on the system. Afaics the Bluetooth connection covers the other phone functions.

I don't need my phone connected for navigation but it needs to be cabled to play music from my phone and use other features.

Sorry, hadn’t read the post properly be didn’t know the the 2032 had AAOS, nor was I aware that you could install apps like Waze directly on these.

As you’ve also said, Music streaming should work via Bluetooth anyway!
