The only thing I noticed is that it isn't possible to daisy-chain the wireless charger through the CPlay2Air as there's no power throughput - not sure if anyone else has experienced this?

I just used the cigarette lighter socket for power via and adapter - in fact this means the CPlay2Air box sits nicely tucked away at the bottom of the storage compartment and it's easy to lift up the wireless charger to add other items as it's only lifting the USB cable not the box as well.
Just. See my earlier post. Bit of a bummer although easy to solve with the power outlet in the console.

Good stuff. Penport had similar issues. One solution to use a USB adapter in the cigarette lighter socket

Just heard back from cplay2air and the USB port is for programming and not a pass through.

Has anyone actually updated or tried to update the carplay2air adapter/software?

I bought one of these a while back, might have been Black Friday sale. gave it a go for a few days but it was too hit or miss with keeping connection so ended up unplugging and just using wired or the standard Bluetooth connection (non-apple CarPlay)

Hi Madelvic, any chance I could get one of these sent over to Australia for a 2021 MY21 GTS?

Shouldn't you have wireless carplay in that already?
Or did you want it for the wireless charging?

Yep just need the wireless charging - was actually shocked that it didn’t exist in the my21 GTS!

Any chance you can ship to the US, too? I'd have PM'd you on this, but I just joined and can't send PM's, yet.

Also - any chance you can design something similar for a 9Y0 Cayenne? I'm looking for an insert to go here (for the wife's Cayenne), but don't need wireless charging. If you can share the file, I just take the file and add a connector to the bottom, and wire this up to the center console storage for USB connectivity. I can even ship you the extra part I bought and the molding I made. I have my own 3d printer, just haven't had time to design this, and the wife is getting impatient. :)
