Got it. My experience with wireless CarPlay connectivity has also been very temperamental as sometimes it's fairly quick, but at times takes a while and at other times doesn't even connect at all, making me go through the manual process to connect. If Ottocast improves connection speed and consistency, I'd like to also try it. There seems to be quite a number of Ottocast models, which one did you get?My infotainment system kept on hanging when using wireless CarPlay. It was fine with usb cable. I now am waiting to install the Cilent's wireless charging tray, so using a cable for CarPlay would make very little sense. Ottocast should work just fine, since the car sees the device as usb, and the wireless connection is handled between the phone and the Ottocast.
Let us know how it turns out working for you on your Emira.
