Auto CarPlay connect
 

Wondering if anyone using anything that automatically connects to CarPlay when you start the car. It doesn’t take but 10-15 seconds to plug in but would be nice to just have it automatically.

After years of wanting to, I finally broke down and ordered one from Amazon::

Eleacc 5.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter 2023 Newest 5G Chip Box for iPhone, Fastest Apple Car Play Dongle for All Factory Wired CarPlay Cars, Auto Connect No Delay Online Update, USB/Type C 2Cables, U2-Pr

Only $60; good reviews. It arrived today, and installed in, like, two minutes.

Seems fine. Connects in about 30 seconds with phone in my pocket. Now I have to see if it plays nicely when my wife's phone is also connected tp bluetooth.
