I was posting something else and just came on this response.
The OEM MBUX has apps for Apple Music and Spotify. I'm able to use this Atmos capability that you're advising me to use via CarPlay in the native Mercedes OEM app. For clarity, Apple Music is running directly on the car using the data from my Mercedes annual data plan instead of on the phone.
Yes I know I could just stream data from my phone, but I don't want to. Additionally, I've had a couple obvious instances of the car's internet signal being better than my phone. While I live in a somewhat densely populated are in West Austin, there are 2 different parking lofts where I park an hour for my kids tutoring and I can only get internet access tethering to my car from my phone but not directly from my phone.

My phone will increase charge while on the charging pad although more slowly than with a cable connection. I did ensure to buy a case that allows for wireless charging. I know cases can affect it. My phone will occasionally get warm while wireless charging, but never hot. I have an android so I am not certain how much different this is with apple.
