That is great question. First of all, I don’t think, or maybe out of my knowledge, that ppl can activate the hypothetical built in wireless module of CarPlay in refreshed-2020 GLC.
I know some folks can get a wireless adapter plugged-in to the USB port. Search in Amazon, you could find some. But I really doubt the stability of the connection. It won’t break any warranty though in this case.

I don't like wired CarPlay. In fact, sometimes I don't use it because I have to plug it in and the wires must hang in there (or I have to hide the phone inside center console, which is inconvenient if I need a physical access to my phone). MB stated that in 2020 (or 2019) the MBUX would be fully wireless. It's odd that it still isn't. If there is a way to activate the wireless MBUX (and not damage warranty), I will.

Yes, wireless charging pad is redundant if you have to plug in CarPlay...
I am pretty sure the guy from Singapore confirmed he couldn't enable it without MB pushing a firmware update to our vehicles... This is what I determined over the summer -- I think it was ultimately on one of his social media posts..

I am sure there must be more reasonable ways than paying $3000 to get this thing working, if it indeed has all it needs to provide wireless CarPlay.
