No data transfer, however with the Magsafe charging mount combined with one of the wireless convertors for wired CarPlay, you now have charging and a phone mount with CarPlay without plugging anything in.

Thanks - I'm still trying to figure out the best of breed for the wireless mod. Honestly, the GT3 is loud and fun enough that I rarely use the radio... so occasional map on the big screen is barely a need.

I have a wired carplay in my 996 Turbo (aftermarket obviously).... My favorite and typical mode is to hop in, pop the phone on the magsafe charger/holder, NOT connect the carplay lightning connector, and run my streaming audio to the stereo over bluetooth and Waze natively on the iPhone.

I'm not really a fan of the Waze UI when it is displayed on a carplay head unit, so this works best for me, and keeps the phone fully charged.

Do you guys have any links to these bigger mags for renline bracket? It seems all the links are dead. Like some of you, I just want a bigger magnet for the iPhone 14. Thanks.

As above, I used the rennline mount bracket and added a different head to it and ran the cord to the armrest. Or you could just double side tape a MagSafe charger to the rennline mount as is. I have the aftermarket apple car play and it is wireless. Works great.
