2023 CX-5 2.5S Premium Plus CarPlay - Factory Wireless?

[fw_fw]

Quick question about my gf's new 2023 S Premium Plus we picked up yesterday: is Wireless CarPlay factory installed or do we need to use a wireless dongle?

Cable obviously works, but I'm surprised I couldn't find wireless, especially since my MX-5 RF with the older infotainment has it and this CX-5 apparently doesn't....

You can check it, when you start your car just pull the commander nob towards back of the car and see if you will have option to connect phone without a cable.

Our 23 is not. I believe 24s are.

Has anyone checked out what makes it wireless for the 2024’s and buying the part to DIY into 2023’s?

No. Mine is from July and it doesn't have it.
