Apple CarPlay
Does anyone know if CarPlay is wireless in the C8? I realize the charging is wireless but curious if anyone who has sat in one saw whether you need to plug the phone in or if it sits in the charging cradle? I saw wireless CarPlay in the new 911 and must say that is very handy.

surprised none of the reviewers tried to setup their iPhone to see if it was wireless Apple CarPlay!
You are not gonna want to plug in the cable all the time! You want to put your phone in the wireless charger spot and let it automatically connect wirelessly to Apple CarPlay!

Seems like it would be a PITA since you can’t just twist to set your phone in the charger. It looks like you probably should place the phone in the charger prior to getting in. Needing to also wire up makes it more of a PITA. Going on long drives using navigation burns up a phone battery.

Where is the USB C plug in the C8? in the center console? Will an Iphone 11 Pro Max fit in there?
