Upgrade CarPlay Module to Wireless? CX-5 2023

[Xxtetrisxx]

Good afternoon. I currently have a 2023 Mazda CX 5 from South America. As you know, the specifications here are poor and the CarPlay that comes with it is wired. I am currently looking for the carplay module to make it wireless. Has anyone been able to update it? I have asked and on Aliexpress they tell me that from version 2021 onwards there is no wireless module

Use a dongle. As an example : AAWireless | Wireless Android Auto™ adapter
And many more.... on both Android and Apple systems..

I second @p38cyq about the dongle being a good option. However, I would avoid AliExpress for the purchase. The quality of products I've gotten from there hasn't been great.

If you're trying to upgrade your 2023 Mazda CX-5 to wireless CarPlay, I know how frustrating it is that AliExpress doesn't offer a module for newer models. Have you looked into Yeloos ? I got mine several weeks ago, serves perfectly

On my other car that has wired CarPlay, I got the Ottocast wireless module and have been happy with it.

It does take longer than they say to connect (about 50 seconds) but has been reliable for nearly a year.

The only thing to be aware of is that it doesnt like connecting up if the phone is active eg you are using an app. If the phone is locked/not being used it connects seamlessly.
