Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have attached a pic to further explain i currently have my phone plugged into a usb socket so that i can have apple play in the car and listen to all my music on Spotify my question is could i lose the lead at all if i bought some kind of bluetooth adapter/dongle? idealy plugging the adapter into one of the 2 usb sockets shown then bluetooth my phone to the stereo and do away with the lead obviously this would have to connect to the apple play in order to work thanks people

POST 2Original post

Does that head unit not have bluetooth built in?

POST 3Original post

If the unit supports CarPlay, you could look into the wireless CarPlay adaptors.

POST 4Original post

You need a wireless CarPlay adaptor to convert that head unit to use CarPlay without plugging it in. Unfortunately these adapters are not an apple or Pioneer thing, so apparently quality and reliability are quite variable. The pccm+ threads mention cplay2air, but some people have had issues with them https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Carplay-Adapter-Cplay2air-Factory/dp/B09S3RCZ36/ It does, but most headunits don't support wireless CarPlay, so you loose all the pretty appleness if you just steam music over Bluetooth, as well as loosing some audio quality.

POST 5Original post

I have the Ottocast Wireless CarPlay Adapter https://amzn.eu/d/cjBGQHX . This is a newer version than the one I have but reliability has been pretty good in the 12 months I've had it installed. The USB box that comes out of the PCCM as well as the Ottocast are tucked away hidden out of sight behind my centre console. Imagine you could achieve something similar fairly easily. For other suggestions there is a guy on YouTube who reviews these wireless CarPlay adapters. Have a look there for other suggestions. HTH.
