Hello, I am new to the world of OAP and have yet to purchase anything (I just discovered it 30 min ago) but I've decided I want to use OAP for my answer to how I will replace my trucks head unit with a Pi.
I have an iPhone and would like the ability to still access my messages from my truck and I saw the plugin for CarPlay requires a dongle.
My question is:
Do I need to purchase the dongle if I want to use CarPlay via my Lightning to USB cable?
I don't really care for the wireless aspect of CarPlay and if I can avoid another piece of hardware that is even better. I searched around (albeit only 15 min or so) and amazons products for the dongle leave me with more questions than answers so I thought I'd come here.
Thanks in advance for any help!
