I think I read that Android Auto and Apple Carplay are only available when the phone is physically plugged into the system (by USB, not Bluetooth). Is that right?

If so, I might want to just stick my phone in a holder where I can see it. If I'm running errands and am going to be getting in and out of the truck, I don't want to have to plug and unplug the phone all the time.
So you'll just mount it, and un-mount it everytime instead? How is that any faster or more efficient?

When I was making several quick stops, it saved me having to plug and unplug the cable every time I got in or out of the truck. I plugged it in for longer trips.

But the message you responded to is a year old. Since then, I got a wireless Android Auto adapter. and a wireless charging pad. That got rid of the plugging-unplugging problem except in areas where there is a lot of electromagnetic interference.

I'm the type that couldn't be blocking other controls, such as that tune knob.
