Wirelessly connect via Apple CarPlay.
Is there any way one can connect wirelessly via Apple CarPlay? I’d like to prevent my phone from charging needlessly every time I connect via CarPlay to use maps to navigate. Thanks.

Hello RahulThappa,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. To have the ability to connect wirelessly, your vehicle must support wireless CarPlay. If it doesn't, you will need to connect via USB. This resource does explain more:
Connect iPhone to CarPlay - Apple Support
Connect wirelessly
1.) On a vehicle that supports wireless CarPlay, do one of the following (see your owner’s guide for detailed instructions):
-Press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel.
-Make sure your vehicle is in wireless or Bluetooth pairing mode.
2.) On your iPhone, go to Settings> General > CarPlay > Available Cars.
3.) Choose your vehicle.
We hope this information is helpful. Cheers.
