Default Wireless CarPlay Question

Has anyone tested the “CarPlay2Air” wireless adapter on the GTS Imfotainment System?

It would be nice to have wireless connectivity while using CarPlay.

someone on another forum tried it and had no luck with it.

No joy with that CPLAY2Air. I can get it to work in my Chevy Silverado but the H-D GTS never shows the CPLAY2Air setup screen to configure the connection.

Even though I have had no issues with CarPlay on my GTS, the Sony in my car or many rental cars there many reports of issues with CarPlay starting up even with a wired connection. I would first suspect issues with the cables being used as a main culprit, but iOS and the headset’s software play a big part in reliability too. At this stage of the game the chances it will work reliably will probably be quite low. I will stick to a wired connection till wireless is standard on the GTS or the adapters get better reviews.

I have the CarPlay2Air and tried on my SONY 7000... no dice. No support for Sony, doesn’t even recognize anything plugged in.

it does work in my Honda though

I contacted the CarPlay2Air via eMail and their response is that it Does Not work with the Harley Boombox GTS at this time. Maybe one day we will be able to connect wirelessly. 🙏

I reached out as well and heard the same response. Hoping we get enough inquiries to get them motivated.

I have reached out to this company - https://carplay2air.com/ to inquire about supporting HDs. They already support Honda bikes. They responded quickly and said they are working on it. If enough of us send them a note, it may motivate them to move more quickly. Here is the contact form - https://carplay2air.com/pages/cantact-us
