I haven't used wireless yet, so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing, but I kinda just don't see why I'd ever need it. I'm going to plug in my phone anyway to charge, so what's the draw?
But boy it’s enraging to use with multiple phones when you share a car with someone. It will stay connected to other person phone, while in range, and, if you to call that person, car will ring. It’s chaos… or maybe it’s just me.
Except I misunderstood that my year didn’t have wireless CarPlay, so I have to choose between CarPlay and wireless charging :( Hopefully my next car will have both.
Otherwise my trips are usually short enough. Also my phone's dual screen addon case (LG V60) blocks the USB port.
Prior to switching to Apple, I was running into major issues with USB-C ports being hyper sensitive to physical positioning. Charge would always work, but Android Auto would simply drop out seemingly randomly. Didn't matter on cable. It was just something that would happen.
Tapping on the screen for the next song or pressing the steering wheel button to do the same can take a half second or more. Doing it on the phone is nearly instantaneous, just a very tiny audio delay.
Using a cable? Never any delay at all. Unnoticeable.
Between that and the fact that it can really burn battery I’m happy to plug it in every time.
