Wireless carplay in a C Class

[s70rmp]

Hi all

I just checked C43's from a 2018 to a 2020 and it now comes with CarPlay - my first C43 had it after I installed an after market plug in box and it ran perfectly.

new car has the wired option which works great but i want the wireless option but have tried 3 different adapters and they all seem to do the same thing - glitch the music every song or every other song for a few seconds to 20 seconds

anybody else seen this and know of a fix

have tried the Carlinkit 5.0 and even with help from their support got nowhere so have returned that and now back on wired

Anybody got one working without issues ?

Had some success in my 2020 GLC with one of the cheap car play dongle's on Amazon (£40 ish?), but the car's wireless charging has never worked reliably since I've owned it. Just went back to plugging it.

I bought one of these (below) and use it in a 2022 E Class.
After getting into the car with an Android smartphone in pocket, turn on ignition and then immediately Android Auto is displayed on the car screen.

You mention a glitch with music. I cannot comment on that aspect, because I play music FLAC files from a USB stick, therefore not involving Android Auto. You are presumably playing music fies which are on your phone, or perhaps streaming music through your phone.

Yes I’m using the phone for music/podcast and waze
