Yes wireless, yes CarPlay and Android Auto.

Here are links to the two devices, pick the right one for your model year. Only one of them is currently available, the other is out of stock.

The Beat-Sonic unit is "just" a two small module wireless/wired CarPlay/Android Auto interface.

The Grom VL2 (and most other similar units and Tesla style screens) are android based computers that also incorporate CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Beat-Sonic is dead simple, extremely reliable and does exactly what it is supposed to do with no extra frills. Beat-Sonic also has a long standing track record of responsive and exceptional support.

The Android units are larger, can be buggy requiring reboots, can require firmware updates, and, when working properly, can do much more that just CarPlay/Android Auto.

If you want CarPlay/Android Auto get the Beat-Sonic. You can't go wrong.

If you want the added capability of the Android units along with CarPlay/Android Auto functionality and can live the with potential headaches, get the Grom.
