So I recently upgraded to an iPhone 6S Plus and lo and behold there is wireless Carplay in the iOS settings. I cant seem to get it to work though. It sees MyLink but that's all I can muster for now.

"Wireless CarPlay has been introduced in iOS 9, but there is currently no hardware on the market that supports the technology."

That article was from January, it's May now, would be nice to know if any hardware now supports it.

Right. But 2017's were in production by February. So no 2016's would be compatible. And it's a stretch to think that any existing 2017's would be compatible or that GM would add compatibility mid-model year without a public announcement.

It'll definitely be a while...if it ever happens at all. They're just getting the hang of the wired version. The current MyLink hardware might not even be up to it.

Too bad that new hardware is needed to enable wireless CarPlay.

If the dealers offered a hardware update, I might just consider paying for this.

While I'd be interested in wireless CarPlay, I typically do opportunity charging when in my car anyway, so plugging in to charge while simultaneously enabling CarPlay is not a bad compromise for now. Of course, if you want to enable Qi charging on your iPhone (with a suitable case, etc.), you cannot do both wireless charging and CarPlay until they enable wireless CarPlay, too...

Would be nice if it will be a future upgrade

I'm digging my new Carlinkit 2.0 Wireless Apple Carplay. Solid connection. Easily hidden. Plug-and-play.
I suggest getting it from Amazon instead of getting it directly from the manufacturer. I bought 2 units at the same time. One from Amazon which arrived last week. One direct from China which has not arrive. Serves me right for trying to save $40

Amazon has so many knock-offs and retailers can not offer the corresponding after-sales help. I rather go with one that someone has used and know works.

Update. I've bought 2 more CarlinKit but version 3.0
It seemed to be working even better on my Volt, Silverado. Much quicker and more robust connection.
