So I can’t seem to find anything specific online, but will these be compatible with current setups for CarPlay? I have a brand new VW, but I’m unable to do CarPlay through the wireless charge pad installed in my car at current. It also came with regular USBs for CarPlay and not USB C. Are we honestly going to have to use a dongle for our vehicles....
Got a tip for us?

It will work just fine, like all the other iOS 14 iPhones. And read your manual...VW’s don’t have wireless CarPlay
Why would Apple take away CarPlay on the new phones? CarPlay is part of iOS doesn’t matter which iphone you have. Mostly cars with wireless charger are not for CarPlay you need to connect lightning cable to USB port.
Wireless Carplay is solely dependent on your vehicle, not on the phone. An iPhone that supports Carplay supports both wired and wireless.
Most vehicles that have the charging pad in it don’t offer wireless CarPlay. You’ll just need to use a regular usb to lightning cable. Have you not had an iPhone before? Most people just have these laying around from older phones.
Yep. I have a wireless charging pad in my car but no wireless CarPlay. So you just have to use a cable.
Use a USB-A to lightning cable. It will work the same as any previous iPhone. Just because they are now including a USB-C to lighting cable in the box doesn’t mean that’s the only kind of cable you can use with the phone.
I have a new Kia and my iPhone 12 Pro works just fine. How new is the car? I’d refer to the user manual if I were you. Maybe you have to enable it or something.
From your signature you have an iPhone 7 so you should have plenty of USB-A to lightning cables laying around. Leave the iPhone 12 USB-C cable in the box and use what you already have.
I don’t have a Kia, but try this:
- Using your infotainment controls select SETUP – PHONE PROJECTION or CONNECTIVITY
- Select ENABLE APPLE CARPLAY
- If any prompts display on the screen, select OK
- Connect your Apple phone via a lightning cable and USB port
You must be using google from the 90's. Kia Stonic doesn't support Carplay.

What happens when you plug in the iPhone? Is CarPlay enabled in the car's settings? You have to usually enable Android Auto and CarPlay individually.

Very strange. I just plugged mine in and it was ready to go. Hopefully you figure it out.
I was going to say that my mother in laws Seat Ateca, which is basically a VW, has it but on checking i'm not sure it does actually!
I did.
Missed to activate it in the car.
Because when it was connected to the car you couldn't see the setting. 😔
ok, clarification, VW's sold in the UNITED STATES don't have wireless carplay. I don't know what country you live in but I know for a fact the Transporter is not sold in the US and I personally have only seen them in the UK. Though I'm sure they're all over the EU
