I do like the charging pad however the connection is Bluetooth for phone use and connecting via WiFi for CarPlay means the charging pad doesn’t charge as quickly as the wire (which we all know).

TIA.
CarPlay is strictly over WiFi/Bluetooth in the X1. The USB-C ports work with iPods and flash drives, but I'm not sure if you can do music via the iPhone over the lightning cable, or phone calls for that matter.

The wireless charger would be great IF it actually charged at a faster rate, but I've given up hope on that and just use a MagSafe charger mounted to my dash.
