For true CarPlay it has to be connected via USB. This gives you access to navigation through the Pioneer screen as well as text message and other features. You can still stream music via bluetooth to the deck, with control of your phone as an iPod on the screen as well as make/answer calls via Bluetooth, but without being connected via USB you won't be in CarPlay mode.

Your phone has to be connected to the unit in order for the Apple CarPlay to work. You can still use it wirelessly via Bluetooth but you won’t have the CarPlay functions.
