Gravity and Wireless CarPlay

Any rumors on when Lucid will finally enable CarPlay on Gravity? I've had a GTT on order since January (Supernova Bronze, HUD, ...) and it's a Must Have on my checklist and one of the reasons I went with Lucid over some other options. Thanks.

No ETA.
 
Doesn’t wireless CarPlay introduce compressed audio issues? It seemed like it did when I had my loaner AGT and Tidal played through CarPlay versus the native Lucid app. I know CarPlay uses a form of local WiFi, but believe it has to compress the Tidal music over this WiFi.

I am wondering because when CarPlay comes to Gravity, it will likely be a similar implementation.

CarPlay is great in so many ways, but I think I’d choose Tidal and Dolby Atmos over Waze on my Gravity screen if I really had to.
 
I would be curious if Spotify lossless is available via the Spotify app in the gravity. Anyone know?

Yes, but wired CarPlay does not.

“Can I listen to lossless audio using CarPlay?
You can listen to lossless audio with CarPlay using a USB connection. Streaming lossless audio in a car over a cellular network will consume significantly more data.”

Apple Music doesn't do lossless over wireless CarPlay but other apps can, just depends on the app developer. Tidal, Spotify and Amazon Music can all do lossless audio (usually CD quality at least) but wired will always be superior for the audio quality anyway.

If Im compiling what was stated then, sorry if im being obtuse:

Spotify App thru carplay (i.e. on your phone) can do lossless, thru wired connection but not thru BT
Spotify App on Gravity can do lossless but perhaps Lucid is blocking it due to data requirements?

is this correct (it doesnt seem right to me, thus why im asking). I cant find definitive answer online anywhere.

I don’t think it’s clear what Spotify can do. They JUST started providing lossless audio, so not sure what they do.

Sounds like wired is always best. Which kind of sux because I don’t want to run a charge cycle on my phone battery each time I drive. Oh well. Doesn’t sound like I will be using CarPlay. Wasn’t a key thing for me anyway.

I use wireless CarPlay in my Air and for what it’s worth, it sounds great.

Tell us you’re not an audiophile without telling us you’re not an audiophile… :p
 
Has anyone been able to get a roadmap of when CarPlay will come to the Gravity?
