This seems impossible to believe, but for some reason it is?
For the last three years we've had a Chevy Bolt that only had wired CarPlay.
In all that time, it's worked mostly ok with my 2016 SE1, but over time I'd noticed pauses, some audio skipping if too much going on at once and I've always chocked it up to "my old iPhone SE1" and just dealt with it.
We got a 2023 Chevy Bolt that can do wireless CarPlay -- and I was honestly shocked to see my SE1 could do it..
..and it's performing WAY better using wireless CarPlay as opposed to wired.
Am I crazy? How could that be?
Is there actually more of a bottleneck on the wired connection?
The one caveat here is that it sucks the hell out of the battery, however I'm contemplating just using the 12v plug + lightning cable to only provide phone power ... and doing CarPlay wirelessly still, simply because of performance.
I'm just shocked by this.
Anyone found similar results?
