Do I need the wireless charging tray to get Apple Carplay?
Sorry if this has been answered before, but do I need the wireless charging tray for Apple Carplay? Also, what else does the tray give me as far as features go?
Is it true that you can't stream audio from your phone without it? Appreciate it. Last edited by ThatKrazyPolak; 05-07-2020 at 02:43 PM.. |

If you get wireless charging tray you also get enhanced bluetooth. This allows you to answer texts via bluetooth.
Regardless of what options you choose, you get apple carplay. Apple carplay will let you use siri, see texts, etc as you would on any platform. So if you plan to use an iphone with apple carplay, then the enhanced bluetooth doesn't do anything for you. Thus--if you use apple carplay, get the wireless charging if that is important to you, but you won't really get much else out of it. For what it's worth, I just bought a wireless charging tray and added it in myself (see the DIY section). |

As was stated already, it requires no add-on features (enhanced BT, wireless charging, WiFi hotspot etc). CarPlay is standard issue. Last edited by 2020g20; 05-12-2020 at 12:26 PM.. |

How do you answer texts via Bluetooth? I can see texts but when you click on one the only option appears to be to call the sender. With iPhone anyway.
