Does anyone know of a good product for iPhone and apple car play? I've seen this android product on here a few times so just curious if anyone knows of something from the apple folks.

I'm watching Motorola Sound MA1 Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter for $90 (and there are other adapters out there on the market.) MA1 has good reviews, but has been out of stock since release around Feb 2022. Watch Target & Amazon, but don't be tricked by resellers that doubled the selling price.

So it just plugs into the usb a port next to the usb c port and acts as a bluetooth module? Can you use the usb c port still for android auto and charging while this is plugged in?

Adapter plugs into the USB A on truck dash making Android Auto, from your phone, wireless Android Auto. It uses WiFi between phone & adapter rather than Bluetooth. USB C port is still available for phone charging, when needed.

Best of luck getting one, I have a bot monitoring Target and have still had troubles.  Damned scalpers are a-holes

I tried the MA1 and could not get to work in my truck. Fortunately enough I flipped and made some money. Proceeded to buy AA wireless dongle and works great! Maybe a hair more battery loss on the phone but works great with virtually no lag! Very impressive and only $100! Link below if you are interested in one!

Hey Luke! What settings did you use on the AA? I have one and have not been able to get it to work. The Phone says its connected to the vehicle and the dongle has a blue connection light but Android Auto is not available on the head unit. I have tried all the settings. I saw your post before I contatcted the manufactuer so I figured I would see how you got it to work before I went that avenue.

Mine was actually doing this as well. This is what I did to fix it. Reset/delete all bluetooth and wifi connections that have to do with truck and dongle. Delete/uninstall or clear cache and data for android auto app and start fresh. The adapter can't have any other connections in history or something is what they say and worked perfectly for me on first try after I wiped everything. Let me know if this works or I can help anymore!

No.. wish it was.. that would be an easy fix! Lmao. Its ongoing electrical problems. Intellibeam highbeams (since the day I bought the truck), lane keep, onstar, wifi hotspot, truck not going to sleep after shutdown, etc. Being they are intermittent problems they are never able to track it down even with photos and videos I have. GM customer service has an open Tech case with the engineers and is working with dealer. Onstar and wifi seems to have been fixed with replacement of the antenna and the tellematics module.

That's odd and not heard of anything like that in the new trucks. Sounds like broken wire or high resistance somewhere. Possibly corrosion in a terminal that moves around when you go over bumps and things etc. Lots of things it could be hard to say surprised they haven't been able to figure anything out

They have had it multiple times and can never find anything. They were finally able to fix the onstar problem with a new antenna but the other widespread problems no luck. The only consistant issue is the automatic highbeam system. This time they have had the truck for 2+ weeks already and they have still found nothing even working with the GM engineers.  I feel that maybe its the BCM since its so many different systems affected, but what do I know. LMAO.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
