In my experience wireless car play is a nothingburger -- you end up plugging in your phone to charge it anyway. If it's not plugged in, the wireless interaction draws so much power that you need to plug it in. Stable configuration is therefore: plugged in. (yes you can sometimes have the combination of wireless CP and wireless charging, but wireless charging also sucks).

I almost never plug my phone in the car, and I have wireless android auto dongle. Might be an iPhone issue.
Wireless CarPlay = heat.

Wireless charging = heat.

Both = furnace.
