    But GPS+wifi+Bluetooth = hot phone and noticeable phone battery drain.

    Wondering how the apple carplay dongles are going these days. Was thinking of switching back to Apple from Android.
    Hotter than when its connected via cable? Does it need to be connected to the car via Bluetooth as well as the dongle via wifi when using AAwireless?

    It is connected to the car and the dongle at the same time, so you can make calls via the VW system or AA.

    Love mine to death, I also got two early and ordered a 3rd I'm waiting for.

    When I go out for a longer drive sometime, I'll compare temp. Probably not much hotter, just noticing/insulating as it's against my leg.

    May be a week or two before I report back though. #LockdownLife
