Wireless Apple CarPlay Upgrade
Posted in my blog thread, but not everyone will see it there. So posting here too...
Stumbled across this on a YouTube video, but did some reading and looked promising. So ordered up a device.
Very simple, plug it in, turn on the car. Wait for the factor infotainment to say Apple Carplay and select it on the in car screen, search for the device on your iPhone (Bluetooth) and connect. And hey presto! Wireless CarPlay
When you get back in the vehicle it should reconnect automatically. Mine seemed to take 30 secs or so, similar to what the bluetooth used to take previously.
Will have to see how reliable it is, but hoping it will.
I got mine from Amazon on next day delivery for £85.99, but I can't comment on if this is a good price or not or if it will change.

I got the ottocast one through crowdfunding. Took them a while to get it right, but they cracked it in the end. Does wireless android auto as well as carplay. Been using it for a few days and it works just as wired.
