[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] ISO: CarPlay adapter

[Seth Silverman]

Hi Olga,

Does the 2019 Bolt support wired CarPlay?  If so, while I have not 
personally used one, I have read about them and it would do what he wants.

I have a third party CarPlay unit with a screen that supports both 
wireless and wired Carplay, so I assume a dongle line the one in the 
picture would work fine.  Sometimes the wireless is finicky but I'm 
overall happy with its performance (mind is pretty old now).  One thing 
you have to be mindful of when using wireless carplay is the battery 
drain, for example, when using GPS.  If the charging port on the phone 
doesn't work, this may become an issue unless he also has a wireless 
charging device in the car.
