Wait. It doesn't work with Bluetooth? In 2016?

No wireless charging, either.
Wah-wah

What happened to wireless CarPlay?

Nothing has happened. that is why you are not seeing it in the wild.

auto industry is moving a blazing slow speed that wireless carplay would take couple more years and new models to happen.

I'm a point A to point B kinda car owner, so I am excited to see these "lower" cost options that support car play. I have always owned some type of Chevrolet, so if they include car play in their lower cost vehicles its a win-win for me.

Why Toyota doesn't offer CarPlay?! I want the new 2016 Prius >.<

You know that headunit you linked to has CarPlay as just an overlay right? It's running on top of whatever system Pioneer or whoever uses for their head units so what @Iconoclysm posted is correct. Whether you consider CarPlay as an app or overlay, it's just that and not it's own operating system. iOS and OS X are systems, As far as I know CarPlay is not.

There was no claim that CarPaly is an operating system. iOS and OS X are operating systems, CarPlay (in use) is a combination of the 'just an app' (which isn't actually correct, because it's actually an alternate User Interface through which you can control a *number* of different apps) and the head unit which displays (and allows you to control) said interface and apps. That combination is a system.

That is indeed the clincher. Getting into the car and music picking up from whatever you were last listening to is something you very quickly get used to. Having to take your phone out and plug it into the car (and, more importantly, having to remember to unplug it and put it back in your pocket at the end) is a ridiculous idea and makes Carplay worse than what we have already. Definitely not going to be going there until they can do it with the phone staying in my pocket.
