    I have a wireless CarPlay dongle for my car and I wonder if that could get around it.

    Especially it simulates a wired CarPlay connection to the car, even if your device is Android Auto.

      Are you using a phone from 2017 or earlier? If not, you have nothing to worry about. If so, I’m surprised it still works.
      The article topic only affects phones with Android Nougat and earlier. If you’re on Oreo or later (8.0+), you’re fine. This has nothing to do with the car and everything to do with the phone doing the screen projection.
