    Happy to report I got Apple Carplay working wirelesly in my Gen4 (2022)
    Used an adapter called Carlinkit. This was version 4 (the blue one). It got a little stuck at the connecting phase but a downgrade of the firmware to a previous version (very straight forward to do) fixed this.
    Stable connection and the head unit sorts itself out within around 20 seconds ( about 15 seconds longer than a standard Bluetooth connection) at startup.
    This adapter only works on cars fitted with the wired version of carplay and/or Android auto.

    I'll second this, I bought the same last week and it arrived today. No firmware fiddling for me, just plug up and go. It added Android Auto to my son's 2020 awd-e for $60 and near zero effort - way easier than swapping head units.

    Do you know if this works with Android 10 (i.e non-wireless Android Auto)?
    Thanks,

    Were you able to hook up CarPlay wired prior to this? I can’t get mine to work at all.
