Just checked, works fine with wired CarPlay, but not through the wireless dongle.
Interesting app, it fired right up when I plugged it in. I also noted that the app requested that the phone be connected to the in-car Wi-Fi directly… That’s probably why it does not work with the dongle as the wireless CarPlay would be connected via Wi-Fi already.

I read somewhere that it should be cd quality but I thought the quality was a bit like bluetooth to be honest.

It does seem like Wired CarPlay offers superior sound quality to Bluetooth.
If/when we go Wireless CarPlay do we lose ANY sound quality? That would suck.

They both work fine once updated - the lag that was a major issue with the first units out was a no go. I had mine in a box for months and then decided to update it. Glad I did. Now it just works. This was resolved w/ firmware updates. Gen 2 gets the nod for being generally more stable.

As I understand it, there's no Bluetooth option to use Car Play. I believe Bluetooth is used initially to establish a Wi-Fi connection (exchange Wi-Fi password, etc), but once set up Car Play uses Wi-Fi only and Bluetooth drops out of the picture. Wi-Fi is used because Bluetooth can't support the bandwidth.
