wireless android auto

[GIZMO333]

is there a solution to wireless android auto other than changing your head unit?

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.

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.

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?

[EddDe]

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!

Wireless Android Auto car adapters around $100 are all are out of stock. The only thing can do it pre-order and waiting.

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!

Good deal! Don't tell me it is down for lifters?!?

[G$$Money]

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

[G$$Money]

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.
