The Uconnect 5 has the wireless ability, but I am unaware of the Uconnect 4 (which you have) being able

Can I use Apple CarPlay® or use Android Auto when my smartphone is hooked up using Wireless Connectivity?

Yes, if you have a Uconnect® 5 system you can access Apple CarPlay® support or Android Auto integration wirelessly through Wireless Connectivity or Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, Uconnect 4 systems do not offer wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration.

The current build 2022's must be offering at least the Android Auto through Uconnect 5 systems or the ad is just plain wrong/deceptive and the Dodge build page still has Uconnect 4 shown.

My 2020 can run audio wirelessly, so you can play music and take calls from your phone without connecting the cable. However for full android auto compatability (navigation, the apps on the screen etc) it's still wired. That might be what they're talking about?

Your car should be the same. Pair the phone wirelessly and you'll be able to select that as the audio source using the steering wheel buttons and play from spotify.

I use the Motorola Ma1 for wireless connect and it works well with Android Auto. I have 2 for my 2019 Hellcat and 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

This is only possible over a Bluetooth connection, but not over wifi. Or am I wrong? I m using the CarPlay2Air dongle to us Carplay over Wifi, (2020 Challenger)

Yes, Bluetooth. No idea if these cars even have wifi connectivity as standard. Still 'wireless' by the very literal definition and works just fine.
