    I recently bought a wireless CarPlay adapter. It is called re-STREAM C2A, but it is probably some generic white label product.

    It used bluetooth for the initial setup and seems to use WiFi for the connection. Audio quality, both for calls and music is as far as I can tell identical to what I get with a cable, and the input lag (which I feared would make it a terrible experience) is almost not noticeable. The dongle has its own operating system (that you can briefly see when it starts up, and it is possible to update the firmware (I did that when setting it up)).

    This is useful for shorter trips, on longer trips I prefer to plug the phone directly to get it charged while driving.
