I've been musing about this since we bought the car: why use wireless charging if Apple CarPlay is only wired?
Well, the dealership had a decent sale on it and finally my NJ title and registration were in so needed to pick that up and get the license plates back on to replace the paper ones.
Took them 2.5 hrs to put in the wireless, mount the license plates, and also install the blue oil cap with prominent 0W-20, which they said was the first one they ever installed.
All the while they were professional and nice with a clean and sanitized waiting area with wifi and refreshments.
* Got a Legacy as courtesy car as I needed to drive from service to dealer to grab title and reg. Cannot say I like the huge touchscreen as the analog knobs were tiny and of course being a sedan I sat lower than in the Ascent which was not wonderful.
* Found the original key chain in glove box with its 5 digit pin. They didn't know that was needed to pair any further FOBs to the car (else you pay hundreds), so happy I found it finally and they were genuinely glad to hear as they had no idea about that.
* They washed the outside of the Ascent so looks brand new (of course driving around in snow and much dirtied it heading home).
* Now above 400 miles, I'm seeing MPG get better (began at 12.4, now at 14.3) which jives with my odometer getting close to 500 miles driven where we're supposed to see the MPG finally get to promised spec.
