Default Sync 3

Is there a method or way to make Apple CarPlay wireless with sync 3?

My .02 cents on this place is avoid them. I ordered a dongle several months ago and it wouldn't work out of the box, to which their support instructed that I do a firmware update. After the update, the dongle wouldn't even get to the point it failed at out of the box. Their support gave me the run around for almost 2 months (repeatedly asking things like have you tried unplugging and replugging, what error do you get, can you take a video of the issue and send it to us, etc.) before finally agreeing to let me ship it back to China on my dime for a refund. They also instructed me to put that it was valued at something like $5 on the customs form. Very shady outfit in my opinion.

There is a similar dongle on Amazon branded under a different name but uses basically the same firmware. I'd go that route if you want to try it, because at least you have the power of Amazon's return policy if it doesn't work.

barrytone is right. I have tried that route. It's a Chinese e-commerce drop shipping scam, it's a rebranded knock off version of the one on Amazon. Neither of them are compatible with our trucks unfortunately.
