Does the Mazda CX-4 support wireless CarPlay?

The older models do not support it and require a USB cable connection. Only the latest Mazda CX-4 supports wireless CarPlay. Introduction to the new Mazda CX-4: 1. Body: The CX-4 features a large wheelbase and small window proportions, maintaining the same ground clearance and off-road capability as traditional SUVs while excelling in aerodynamics, lightweight construction, lower center of gravity, fuel efficiency, and handling. 2. Powertrain: Equipped with the PE model 2.0L Skyactiv-G direct-injection naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 158Ps and peak torque of 202N·m, compliant with China VI emission standards. 3. Features: The 2021 CX-4 comes standard with TPMS tire pressure monitoring system, LED front and rear headlights, LED daytime running lights, four airbags, GVC Plus, smart key + one-touch start, and more.
I drive a 2020 Mazda CX-4, which doesn't natively support wireless CarPlay. So every time I use CarPlay, I have to connect my iPhone via USB cable. It's mostly convenient but occasionally annoying when charging. The navigation and music features are quite comprehensive. You can solve this by purchasing a wireless adapter like CarlinKit—just plug it into the USB port to enable wireless connectivity. Many car owners are doing this now. The key is to ensure your infotainment system is updated to the latest version, as Mazda has improved CarPlay compatibility through software patches. This makes driving safer and smarter while avoiding tangled charging cables.
