We just bought our first CarPlay enabled car, a 2022 Volvo XC40. Yeah, CarPlay requires a wire, but there's a wireless charging tray in a cubbyhole in the front of the console, with a USB port right above it. We got a"shorty" cable (just under 12"), and there's no issues with dangling wires. It fits perfectly (and of course, there's never a charging issue). And it's sure convenient to just say, "Hey Siri, navigate to the Golden Spike Best Western in Hill City South Dakota," and get turn by turn directions from our home in Chicago.
As for the Sirius issue, all new cars come with Sirius natively enabled, and most offer a free 90 day trial. We just use the car's radio controls, which are simple.
In short, even an imperfect implemenation of Apple CarPlay is better than no CarPlay!
