## What it is
C software that turns a Raspberry Pi into a bridge converting wired CarPlay into wireless CarPlay. It handles BLE and WiFi connections between an iPhone and the Pi, relaying data to the car's head unit over USB.

## Use cases
- convert wired CarPlay to wireless in my car
- use iPhone CarPlay without plugging in a cable
- set up Raspberry Pi wireless CarPlay adapter
- connect iPhone to CarPlay over WiFi and Bluetooth
- make short trips without plugging my phone into the car

## When to choose
- you have a CarPlay-enabled head unit that only supports wired connections
- you want a DIY hardware solution using a Raspberry Pi
- you prefer self-hosted open-source over commercial wireless adapters

## When to avoid
- your car already supports wireless CarPlay natively
- you need a plug-and-play commercial product without hardware setup
- your head unit is not CarPlay compatible

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: networking, embedded
- domain: embedded-systems, hardware
- platform: embedded, iot
- tags: carplay, raspberry-pi, wireless, ble, wifi, iphone, automotive, linux
