Wireless Carplay and MagSafe mount

[S_McWilliams]

I finally decided to go wireless on my '23 Willys. I bought the Luckymore Wireless Carplay adapter from Amazon here Luckymore Carplay and plugged it into the center console USB outlet. No issues with setup and it's easy to connect multiple phones. I then bought the following Bulletpoint parts plus a new cord:

• 4" mounting arm 4 inch Aluminum Mounting Arm Dual 1 inch Socket Connector Ends Compati - Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions
• Grab bar mounting point 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler JL + 2020+ Gladiator Grab Bar Mounting Point - Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions
• MagSafe phone charger Bulletpoint MagSafe Compatible Wireless Phone Charger - Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions
• 18" USB C to USB C cord Cord

I will eventually look to hide the cord better but from the driver's side it doesn't bother me. My phone is an iPhone 15 Pro. Here are some photos:

Looks good. Does it interfere with passenger space? Also, how quick does the wireless Apple CarPlay connect?

So far it doesn’t interfere at all with passenger space. My wife and a buddy have sat there and no complaints. I can always rotate it so my wife or others can charge as well.

Connection is fairly fast. I just times it and it took 10 seconds to connect. It goes to their app screen where I could switch it to my wife’s iPhone. That screen goes away quickly.

I've been looking into this. Thanks for the write-up and pictures. Does the Luckymore us Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to connect to the phone.
I've read that many of these devices use Wi-Fi, so you have to choose that wi-Fi device every time.

I'm curious as to why you aren't simply leaving your phone in your pocket and using CarPlay in conjunction with your Jeep's center screen. [I use a six inch cord and tuck my Carlinkit in the little cubby hole under the USBs]

You likely mentioned it but I missed it.

It uses both WiFi and Bluetooth and so far there isn’t a need to reconnect anything.

I wanted a wireless charging option and not have to fuss with plugging in my iPhone when I want to charge it.

I also have Aux 1-4 buttons under where everything plugs into the dash so I plugged it into the center console under the armrest.

Does it work with a slim iphone case or do you need to remove it?

I have this case but Bulletpoint send a magnet to place between the back of your phone and case if your case doesn’t have an extra magnet. https://dbrand.com/shop/ghost/iphone-15-pro-clear-cases
