Last week I laid my Starlink Mini on the dash since I was in dead zones. .(Planning on more secure setup) When I set my wifi on my Iphone to the Starlink Wifi I lost my Carplay connection to my head unit. Is there a way to configure this, so I can have access to Carplay and the Starlink or do I have to have one or the other?

Wireless carplay uses wifi between the phone and truck. If you want to use the starlink wifi, you will need to use wired carplay.

You could also try connecting the truck to the Starlink and then use the truck as your iPhone gateway?
