Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new beast. Wireless Carplay and in your case Andriod auto works off bluetooth, so the wireless charging has no bearing on your wireless andriod auto/apple carplay connection. That connection should remain regardless if you place it on the charging pad or not.
Now for wireless charging, it appears the charging pads on these are notorious to cut in and out and be finacky with connection, but again your actual adriod auto connection should not be affected regardless of charging connection.
I place my phone sideways in that skinny slot between the shifter and the cup holders. Carplay in my case connects wirelessly no issues, of course that is not the charging spot and therefore not wirelessly charging when resting there.
Awesome you are enjoying a Raptor in Abu Dhabi! Welcome again to the forum.
