I finally figured out a way to use Carplay via a wired connection. My goal was to skip the wireless Carplay feature so that I could stream lossless audio to the B&O unleashed audio system in my truck.
As usual the eager salesperson at the dealership initially connected my iphone via the Bluetooth based wireless Carplay. Bluetooth degrades the audio quality and currently is not capable of transmitting lossless audio.
I had to start all over. First I went to the iphone settings and deleted the truck from the list of Carplay devices. Then before I turned on my truck, I connected the Iphone to the B&O system via the front USB input. Pressed the start button to turn on the truck. In a few moments the new Carplay setup was completed. It asked me for permission to grant access to the iphone- which i did. The next question was- do I want to continue with USB input or switch to wireless, I chose USB.
It was a instant upgrade to the audio quality. I do have lossless and spatial audio enabled in my iphone. I do use apple music as my streaming service.
