What did you do to your Emira today?

The usb cable works pretty well. It's just not convenient, not to mention that by using the wireless tray by Silent Cilantro (which is stuck at the italian customs btw), it's just not an option since the central usb is not suitable for CarPlay. Or maybe I'm missing some alternative option?
I'm just surprised that you find it worse than the USB cable connection. You lock your doors (and reboot the system) every time you get out of the car, right? The OTTOCAST unit will need a few seconds to boot up after power starts to flow to the USB port.
One thought: did you happen to disable the Bluetooth and/or Wireless functions in the car when you were struggling with the wired connection?
 
Dinner by the riverside, couldn't help but to take a photo when I looked back!

Washed off some squashed bugs, but couldn't take any pictures because it started to rain again. Looking forward to better weather over the weekend.

Yes I do lock the doors every time I get out of the car, and surely I give the Ottocast all the time it needs to boot up. I did disable the bluetooth and wireless functions in the car, but that was the first time I tried the wired connection. It did not work straight away, so I disabled the wireless functions and then the wired connection started working without any issue. Today, after noticing that the Ottocast wasn't working properly (it does connect to the phone and the car, but the actual streaming/functions are bugged), I went checking to make sure the wireless and bluetooth functions of the car were disabled. How do you think having disabled the wireless functions may affect the Ottocast, since it's wired?
 
Finally had detailer put on ceramic coat: 16 months and ~14,000km (8,700 miles) later, just in time to park it for the winter months. Same detailer did total wrap right after car purchased but said to wait a year for ceramic coat, for best results. Detailer also cleaned/treated interior n/c so I left a $200 tip, with car looking brand new again. Detailer said car received many compliments while in its shop. Surprisingly, 2 of their younger employees correctly ID'd it as a Lotus Emira right away. It turns out the Emira is their car choice when gaming, due to its weight to HP ratio (see below). Who knew?
