would be nice if they credited you what they will then charge to add it back later when the chip shortage is over, somehow I doubt the charge would be just $75

On a side note, I do like the wireless charging, but the wireless CarPlay is still a little buggy (not sure its just a chevy issue and Apple doesn't have some blame in that too), so I am still hardwiring my phone which defeats the need of the wireless charging... sure hope they figure that one out.

What kind of bug are you having?

FWIW it works perfectly in my Escalade. I don’t think it’s Apple related.

Mine was super buggy (wouldn't connect after remote starts or just randomly) until they replaced the head unit, now it works flawlessly.

I never use my wireless charger since it's in a spot where I usually store sunglasses and other stuff. I wish they put the charger in the armrest like the previous gen.

I've had wireless charging in the last 2 cars I've had an never used it once. The 1st one my phone was too big unless I took it out of the case every time, and now I'm just too lazy to take the pop socket off the case to use the wireless charging. Maybe if I had a smaller phone I'd use it more, Idk

I use the wireless charging daily... Big loss IMO
Same here. Set it in the tray and forget it. Enjoy the wireless carplay and arrive at destination with a battery that is full. No futzing around with cables etc.

I have a Motorola Android phone and wireless charging has never worked reliably in my 2019 Camro SS or my 2021 Tahoe.

Nothing too major, sometimes it takes a bit to connect (I think it uses the WiFi from the phone to do the connection), but this could be because I am still connected to my WiFi at home.

Plus it is laggy compared to hardwired when changing songs.

Overall it does work, but I will say that the hardwired is still a better experience.

That doesn’t sound right. Sounds silly but try and reboot your phone. It connects via Bluetooth not WiFi.

You may wish to look into it some more. Wireless CarPlay uses Bluetooth to initiate a connection but switches to WiFi after the initiation because Bluetooth does not have the bandwidth to support all the functionality.

I have similar results as @waynehead99 with my Pioneer. Laggy and inconsistent behavior wirelessly compared to the wired connection.
