I just changed my mobile phone and I didn't know how to connect it to the device. Your step by step video is excellent and helped me to resolve the problems I had. Thank you very much. Greetings from Greece!
Cool! Glad I could help!
Works like a charm. Thank you for the detailed video. One more thing: you need to deactivate any VPN app on your mobile device in case you have one enabled. This is a must be in order for the dongle to work. I own a Renault Captur 2017 with an RLink 1 system on which I managed to enable android auto from the hidden menu but it was a wired one. Now the hack is complete 😊
Thx for the comment!
Yes I had to disable nord VPN as well.
Thanks for this, when i change my headunit I wanted to get wireless android auto, this saves on the upfront cost of the new headunit, thanks again.
No problem!
yea bnew units with wireless is expensive af. like over 1k usd
just bought the motorola one, my 2019 fusion doesnt have wireless...now it does! thanks for this vid :)
Awesome! Yeah the Motorola is probably going to work better lol.
Congrats on the new car :) Great review, gone ahead and grabbed myself.
Thanks!
Leuk om te zien dat je je Nederlandse zuinigheid niet verleerd bend 😅 heb er een andere van het zelfde merk besteld ben eens benieuwd hoe die werkt en op een lange termijn zich houdt. Groeten uit het mooie Nederland, wel een hulp volle video ga zo door!
Veel bedankt voor de comment!! 🇳🇱
That's the review I was looking for - thanks for that! Any other adapters you've tested and would recommend instead of this one? Looking to install it in my Mazda 3 '21.
This is the only one I've tested.
Before buying it, check to see if your USB port remains powered when the car is off. If it does, then try to find one that automatically shuts off if it detects the car is off. This one unfortunately stays on even when my car is off, so it maintains a connection to my phone even when I'm in the house, and that's super annoying. But otherwise it works great. I've since made an adapter so that it gets power from a different source now, but I shouldn't have to do that.
I use AAWireless I'm my 2022 CX-5. Works great. Verbal commands work without pressing any buttons and boots straight into android auto without pressing any icons on the screen. Also uses any length usb cable.
Excellent video, thank you. Just order mine aswell. Hopefully it does its job 😄
Thanks! Best of luck! Mine still works great 😸
The perfect tip was: Disconnect from your home wifi. That was the reason why Android Auto did not show up in my car! Thanks to video, it works now!
Right on!
Great and very easy to follow your instructions. I just received my AA wireless dongle same as this from aliexpress. Did your follow your instruction but it keeps disconnecting from AA wireless. Could this mean that the item I got was defective? I'm pretty sure I followed your steps. I have a 2019 rav4 hybrid. Thanks for your videos like this!
I'm sorry for the late response....
It's possibly defective, but could be a compatibility issue with your phone as well.. tough to say honestly
I did find that with mine, I needed to keep my phone fairly close to it though to keep the connection stable.
Thank you, you helped a ton!
My pleasure!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I drive a Skoda Fabia that has wired Android Auto and if I wanted to upgrade my unit to wireless. The main dealership told that it would cost me £374 for the upgrade plus "labour" time. This little device cost me £39 with free shipping.
Awesome!
2 months later, how does this work?
@@aindoria it didn't work with my car sadly. It kept restarting my car stereo in an endless loop so I got it refunded.
Still working awesome for me!
That's sux that it didn't work for you .. 😔
Funny,i have ioniq electric 2019,and search what to use and find you video,thank you
Awesome 😎
Finally a video how to.. mine was connected with a wire before and mid of driving it tries connect to the old bluetooth
Glad I could help!
Is there any issue with the quality of audio? I have read some other reviews where users complained about the downgraded audio quality due to limited bandwidth of BT (though it was an older version of the wireless adapter AFAIK).
I haven't noticed any difference... Thx for the comment!
After the initial set-up, does it automatically connects to your Andorid phone everytime you start the car or you have to press the Android Auto icon first on your cars infotainment screeen?
I suppose that depends on the car... For mine, I get in and it connects and jumps onto the screen on its own
Great video. Just purchased a 2023 ford bronco sport badlands and was looking for some hands on info..you supplied it.
Glad I could help
Thank you for this video. I bought an adapter very similar to this one. I sent it back thinking that it didn't work. Needless to say I re-ordered it. During the setup phase everything worked the adapter connected to my phone and my ford sync system recognized it. Whenever the prompt told me to find the adapter on my vehicle I kept looking at my phone and not the screen on my vehicle. Lol, All I had to do was hit the android auto button on the screen and I would have been done. Thanks again. By the way my vehicle is a 2016 Ford Expedition
Glad I could help!
@@edsgarage001 What am I doing wrong? Set everything up. My sync 3 system recognized the dongle right away, same as my phone. Did all the steps and my phone says looking for android auto which it never finds. My phone is galaxy note 9 running android 10. Any suggestions? When I plug my cable into the usb port android auto is up and running.
Start by removing the Ford sync from your Bluetooth device list in your phone... Remove your phone from the car's stereo Bluetooth device list...
My guess is your car and your phone are just communicating together via Bluetooth, bypassing the Android auto dongle.
Delete all the devices from your Bluetooth list in your phone and your car. And don't forget to temporarily forget your home wifi as well, as your phone might be stuck on that too
@@edsgarage001 Ok. I will try it again. Thank you.
Once I get in the car am I turning blutooth back on or am I letting the car communicate with the dongle?
Is this something that would further help in using the W901 Pro ? In my vehicle, I can BT my Android. I don't have carplay. 🤨
I'm not sure how to answer your question.
This device simply makes an existing wired android auto capable stereo, and makes it wireless.
Is the car sound system working the same through the adapter? you can hear from all the car speakers or only 2 like regular stereo mode?
All speakers. USB and wifi transmit everything digitally. The stereo interprets the audio.
@@edsgarage001 Thank you for your answer sir 🥇
No problem
Hello, thank you for your tutorial. I have a question to ask: for this adapter to work,does it connect to both Bluetooth and your wifi connection in order to start Android auto? Because I usually bring my portable wifi everywhere for my phone to connect. Does it mean that I'll lose my wifi connection if i were to use this dongle to connect my android auto?
Yes, because Android auto must go through WiFi... Bluetooth is too slow. It'll only use Bluetooth to initiate the connection, but then it'll mainly use Wi-Fi for everything else.
@@edsgarage001 all right, thank you so much for your answer.
Do you think it will work on a Mazda 3 second generation (2010-2013) oem screen?
No,
As I mentioned in the video, you need to already have wired android Auto. This just makes a wired system wireless
Did you noticed any pauses while spotify music was playing? That is what makes the difference...
I don't use Spotify.
But on my phone I noticed there was a setting for high quality Bluetooth music. I turned that on a while ago, so maybe that's the fix?
Ed what would you recommend if I have a Nissan Pathfinder (All it has is the touch screen with backup camera) and looking to mirror my phone to the Factory Screen. Any help would be appreciated
Your factory screen may not have the option to do that.
What year is your pathy?
2014@@edsgarage001
Does this adapter work on all cars that have navigation or only newer ones that have Android/Apple support?
The car MUST already have existing wired android auto.
Hi very insightful video though I am curious since you also have a Hyundai....how do you overcome the issue with the usb power staying on when shutting off the vehicle? I have a 2021 sonata hybrid and when I turn off the vehicle and walk away my phone is still connected to the adapter because the car doesnt cut off power to its usb port until a 10 min delay. Therefore I would be walking around in my house missing phone calls or text messages because my phone was still thinking it was connected. Maybe others dont have this problem if they walk far enough from the car. But mine is parked in the garage. So I had to manually remember to disconnect my wireless android auto everytime I get out of my car or just wait the 10 mins for the car to cut off power to its usb port. I also rread some forums and saw many other people complain about this issue such as Tucson or Santafe. Did you experience anything like that? I heard this usb power shut off delay is on hyundai/kia electrified models (as in hybrid, phev, ev). Anyways I returned mine out of frustration. Thanks
Hi, yes I only noticed this little issue after making and posting the video. Seems it doesn't matter what brand of adapter though and generally it's only on hyundais that it happens 🙄.
My plan is to make an adapter cable that plugs into both the data port and onto the charger port next to it and then the dongle will plug into the adapter.
The data lines will of course be contacted to the data port, but the 12v power line will come from the charger port which shuts off when the car is off.
There's also USB cable you can get that have switches on them, that's another easier solution.
For Vehicles that have "Always on" USB Ports, Consider getting an on/off switch like this one:
a.co/d/arZ22nE
Yeah...
Apparently it's a licensing issue. But you'd think they'd have figured that out by now
Yeah thanks and not sure if my comment got deleted. But yes the AAwireless dongle has been so far in my day's worth of testing been a no compromise solution and works flawlessly. As soon as bluetooth cuts off by turning off the car, the adapter senses that and cuts off the connection to the phone even if it has power for remaining10 mins. Same way when you restart the car, it picks up that the car's Bluetooth is connected with the phone and that connects wireless android auto to the headunit. That way no extra step is required and seems as if it was just built in to the unit all along. I also bought a usb extension cable so the dongle is just not hanging out there and have laid the wire along the edges of some panels down to the bottom and that's where this dongle is, between my seat and the center console. It makes it look so much nicer and cleaner
I bought it from Amazon usa to ship to Delta BC but paid double the price you paid thru aliexpress 😭
I have heard that this unit has issues with when using the phone via Bluetooth. Have you experienced any of that issues? and now that you have had this for a few months, any problems?
If I'm the only one in the car, it works perfect about 98% of the time.
But if my wife is in the car as well, with her phone, then the reliability drops to about 90%
I think it's just wireless interference from her phone.
If it messes up, I just unplug it and plug it back in. Otherwise it's been fine
Will this work in a car that requires switching between two different drivers using two different phones on different trips.
It works, but it's not able to determine which phone it connects to, so if you're both in the car, then one of you might need to disable your Bluetooth temporarily
I have a Motorola version of this in my 2021 Santa Fe. My phone is a Pixel 6. It has performed without issue for the 8 months I've been using it. All the reviewers whining about "no wireless......." could do better for their audiences.
That's why I made this vid... Trying to help people out
Cannot get this to work on my 2019 Chevrolet bolt. If I shut off my phone’s Bluetooth first , when I start the car and select Bluetooth devices it says it doesn’t see any ,even after I connect my phone to the new device thoughts?
I'm unsure why you're turning your Bluetooth off first....
You need to start by deleting devices from the car and the phone. But you still need Bluetooth to be turned on.
Start over, watch the video closely and pause it at each step
LOVE the IONIQ. I have the same car
Right on! I've got tonnes of content, check out my channel for more ioniq 6 videos
wich version of android did u use? i have Android 10 so i dont know to buy this
It works fine with android 10...
But get this instead (use EDSGARAGE for a discount)

HI, What is the different to the flat looking one? from aliexpress
I think the flat one is actually the wireless carplay one.
If the wifi is connected, how do you use everything without internet cause you can't have data. And if you chose apps only over mobile data, you have to go back on forth every time you enter ir exit the vehicle
Phones can generally use mobile data and Wi-Fi at the same time....
It works fine.
If you have an older phone with an older version of Android, I suppose you might run into that problem.
Hi I have an issue where my car 2022 Toyota Corolla doesn't detect the adapter or android auto wireless. It works wired and phone Xiaomi 12 detects the Bluetooth and WiFi and adapter and shows android auto and says to carry on car screen
Wipe everything related out of bluetooth and wifi settings of your phone and your car .. and start over.
If it still doesn't work then it's likely a compatibility issue, and you may want to try a different brand of wireless dongle.
Bedankt
Thank you!!!
Can you use mobile data while connected to the dongle?
Yessir!
I stream my music and use Google maps with this.
I even watch TH-cam videos via car stream (when I'm parked)
Can you use this on older cars as well? I have a 2012 Cadillac SRX
Well it needs to have Android auto to start with.
This adapter just takes normally wired Android Auto and makes it wireless.
@@edsgarage001 oh, so I can't use it for my 2015 pathfinder to make its screen have Android auto?
No,
This device doesn't give you Android auto... It just makes a system that already has wired Android auto, wireless.
To add Android auto to a car that doesn't have it, you need to install a new stereo that has that capability.
Hi,
Should the car radio
head unit have CARPLAY ?
2016 Porsche cayenne .
Best regards.
I have an iPhone 15 Max for work and a Galaxy S23 Ultra for my personal phone. Trust me when I tell you that you aren't missing anything. iOS sucks. Lol.
Agreed
thank you
Thank you!
Will this work on a Mercedes NTG SYSTEM 5.0 ?
Does it already have wired Android auto built in?
if i have apple carplay wireless built in the car but not android auto will it work ?
If your vehicle has wired android auto, then this will make it wireless.
Hey. I have the exact unit. Does yours start up every single time? I find that mine doesn't start up automatically about 40% of the time. I have to unplug and plug it in and then it will connect. Any solution to this?
Mine works pretty much 99% if I'm alone... But if someone else is in the car, then it messes up about 30 to 40% of the time yes.
@@edsgarage001 Thank you for a speedy response. Maybe I will try to repair.
is there anything that can enable android auto wired or wireless on a head unit that doesn't have android auto at all ?
No, not really. It's actually more cost effective to just replace the head unit.
If your head unit runs Android, then you could try "head unit reloaded" which is an app you'd need to install on your head unit, assuming it ran Android on it.
@@edsgarage001 ok thanks i think i will have to replace it.
In 2017 I had one of the first car with Android auto and car play (model from 2015).
Android auto never worked on my car. Tested with 2x LG phones, 1x Oppo and 1x huawei.
I go to the dealership and they said : there is no problem with android auto, it's working with Samsung.
I just bought a new lg smartphone just after the car...
End of the story : I never used android auto inside my brand new car from 2017 and the dealer won't even recognize the problem, if he did, it would means that all customers everywhere could complain about the multimedia system of their car, they don't want that.
PS : Car model is Opel Corsa E (2014-2019) with intellilink 4 that I paid 300€.
Opel was sold to PSA in 2017, the year I bought the car.
My Opel dealership closed in 2019.
Thank you for the comments... Did you ever get it working?
I have a similar adapter going to my Mercedes Slk350. Just got a new Flip 5. What settings are you in under BT? I hand the option of headphones, speaker or other. I can call without issue under speaker using my car but whenever I try to manually call from my phone or answer I can hear them but they cannot hear me. I'm on the speaker setting. My last phone a Google Pixel 6 doesn't have the same BT settings as Samsung for me to duplicate...
Thanks for the question.... But I'm not sure how to answer.
When you're in a phone call, you generally have the option of altering which Device it uses for the audio. But I don't see that in settings...I only see it on the phone's screen during a call
@edsgarage001 something in the settings isn't right. It's weird. If I call or try to answer using the phone they can't hear me but I can hear them. Now if I use the car Comand system there isn't an issue. Only in my Flip5. I'm thinking it's some setting somewhere just off. I've tried the speaker, other and headphones and that didn't solve it.
If I was able to be there and see what it was doing I could figure it out....
Find someone techie and sit them in your car while you try it out. I'm not sure what to suggest to be honest
@edsgarage001 I'm actually the techie around here. 🤣 This thing is stumping me. I did read others having similar issues with BT products but not with the adapter. I asked Android Central about it. If I get this figured out I'll update here.
Did you manage to get the videos playing on Plex?
To be honest, I haven't actually tried it yet lol
Hi nice works, my headunit dont have AA, now using headunit reloaded for wired AA, will this dongle works wireless with headunit reloaded ? Thanks in advance
Probably.... but I haven't tried it.
thanks for the fast reply, i just order the unit to try out, will update if it works Cheers@@edsgarage001
after using for 3 days, the unit does work with headunit reloaded
So it worked for three days?
Try removing everything and reconnecting everything. Failing that, see if you can get a refund. They're pretty good about refunding you if it doesn't work out.
my bad, its been working with no issue till today@@edsgarage001
Is only for samsung for iphone no??
This one's for Android phones . But check out my latest review on a wireless carplay adapter here:
th-cam.com/users/shortsNIBNqrd7iLM?si=NXKlc5qszzB5fFJD
What if you don't have android auto/carplay on your car, it's not gonna work?
ty
No, you must have wired Android auto for this to function
Wifi ask password. BUT connect by bluetooth and put wifi on in mobile. That works to me and android auto is wireless 😊
Yes, once the Bluetooth connection is made, the box actually connects the Wi-Fi for you
Hi Ed, do you have any issies with this 10 months later?
No, but I recommend a different product now that gives you way more capability (link to product in the video description)... Check it out:
th-cam.com/video/TOvGpsYZP8g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KsS7ld-QKQbvK9sl
I have wireless internet in my car. Does this device use both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi? I need to be able to use the Wi-Fi from my car while using this, so if i can't, that would be a deal breaker for me.
Yeah, all wireless Android auto uses the Wi-Fi on your phone to connect 😕
@edsgarage001 Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll just stick to wired then. It's not much of a hassle when you don't know any better lol.
This is true 😅
Can we use TH-cam with this device ?
Not with this one, this only makes your Android auto wireless.
However, I recently did a video on a different Device that does do TH-cam, plus much more, link in the description for a discount!

what about delays music videos and sounds ?
Not running into any issues
After connecting to the smartbox from my mobile phone, it automatically connects to the smart box via wifi, but I do not use the internet, how can I overcome this problem? What is the solution?
I'm not sure what your question is...
What do you mean "but I do not use the internet" ?
@@warrenwphillips same issue here, it does not use mobile data when connected over Wifi to the box.. it stays "offline"
I'm having some connection issues. It worked flawlessly for a couple of months, but all of a sudden it won't connect. The phone is connected to the smartbox through both wifi and bluetooth, and it says that android auto is available and that I can continue on the cars screen, but the cars screen just says that it's trying to read the USB, and nothing happens.
I have tried with another phone and removed my phone from the cars bluetooth, but nothing seems to solve the issue!
I assume you tried hard wiring your phone direct to the car to test that Android auto is still working that way?
Maybe your smartbox just died... See if they'll send you a new one. I find a lot of sellers on Ali Express or temu, and even Amazon are pretty good for that.
@@edsgarage001 Yeah, it works wired. Gonna see if I can get a replacement. Thanks!
Best of luck!
Garage? Or kitchen?
😁, we get to the garage eventually
I am just wondering do I have to unplug adapter so it doesnt dry my battery
You shouldn't have to... If it does drain the battery then you've got a terrible battery 🙂
@@edsgarage001 I just ordered device so will see if the light is staying on when I turn off the car.
I will test with my phone if i turn off the car whether it is still charging the phone.
Hopefully i dont have to unplug it battery is brand new changed a month ago so I hope it good
It uses such a tiny amount of electricity... It would take over a week to drain a car battery, even if it did stay on.
I actually now recommend this unit, as it's capable of a lot more:
th-cam.com/video/TOvGpsYZP8g/w-d-xo.html
@@edsgarage001 Ya i can see this one is very advanced but the reason I got this unit is that 1451 people purchased it and most are good reviews
will these things charge the phone during driving like cable does
Will it work in a Chevy Mylink car I wonder.
If the Chevy in question already has wired Android auto, then yes.
But if it doesn't, then no.
This adapter only takes an existing wired AA and makes it wireless.
Hows battery life when wireless
My car has a wireless charger pad... So I just sit my phone on it and it charges.
But yeah if I don't, I can definitely see the battery drains faster
it says in the instructions that the adapter is not compatible with xiaomi muvi android phones?! Does anyone have a xiaomi 11T pro and this wireless android car adapter works for them? Thank you
I have a xiaomi mi 10 lite and it works (I bought the flat version). The only issue I am dealing with is that the call status appears only on the car screen and not in the phone, as was the case with the cable.
This worked for about 3 months for me and then it just flat out would not connect, the car recognizes that the device exists but no matter what it wont connect. I tried unpairing the device and re-pairing, reinstalling android auto, restarting my phone and the car but it kept saying "cannot connect to this device" unfortunately.
Oh dang ... Yeah it can fail like any other electronic. But that sucks. 😕
Try this one out:

@@edsgarage001 Thanks for the suggestion! I already bought a new adapter, its called the Motorola MA1. Ive heard good reviews of it. but if that one ends up not working out ill be sure to check that one out!
This one I suggested let's you watch Netflix and TH-cam on your stereo.... Super cool
I tried to play youtube on fermata auto app with this wireless adaptor. When I launch fermata auto, it's freeze and can't move to other app. I have to reconnect everytime.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
My device is Huawei Mate 20X.
I use TH-cam through carstream, and it works fine.
Does it work for Netflix and TH-cam
This is not an Android device on its own... It simply converts your wired Android Auto into wireless. That's all.
I have a Chinese car that has qdlink . Can this dongle change me to android auto
No,
This dongle doesn't give you Android auto. It only changes existing wired android auto to wireless... That's all
@@edsgarage001 thanks for the quick reply. Any seloution for to change to android auto
I'm not familiar with your vehicle... But does the head unit just run Android? Can you install apps on it?
If so, see if you can install "headunit reloaded". It's an app that mimics android auto on a headunit that just runs Android.
The problem i face is that i don't have mobile data that i can use with it, i can only use wifi for internet.. is there any setting where i can add my wifi to it?
No, this device would be using the Wi-Fi connection to your phone.
So really, it'll only work if you have mobile data
@@edsgarage001 thank you Ed, and thanks for the vid.. that clears it out for me :)
@@edsgarage001wish I had seen this earlier. I thought I could connect my second phone to the adapter via Bluetooth while also connecting my second phone to my main phone's personal hotspot for wifi.
I have a huawei p30 pro and it says it's connected to the smartbox via bt and wi fi, it tries to connect on the car's screen and then says failed to connect, checked on the smartbox wi fi setting and it says "connected, no Internet", it's driving me mad, hoping somoene has a solution,
It may simply be incompatible with your phone... You might need to try a different unit
@@edsgarage001 I think you're right, I tried it in another car and same story, been trying for hours online to figure it out,found a huawei solution, have mobile data and WiFi on at the same time through developer options, sadly did not work, then I updated android auto in Google and it stopped doing anything at all, oh well, back to the cable, it's not worth spending many hundreds on a new phone, your reply was hugely appreciated👍🏻
@@edsgarage001 just to add, tried with a Samsung s24 and it works perfectly.
Everything works for me except outgoing and incoming calls don't ring through out my car
Try turning up the volume during an incoming call.... So have someone call you, and without answering, turn up the volume on the car stereo while it's ringing
Aparantly it does not work on huawei phones... Can any one confirm this as I want this product but have huawei phone.. Does it work???
I can't see why it wouldn't work
I have an Huawei pro 30. It connects to the Bluetooth but does not work. Mazda 6 year 2021.
However it does work perfectly with an Honor phone
Hi I couldn't log in as I forgot the password. I don't have manual. How do I reset password? Any idea? I have the same one as you have bought from aliexpress
Log into what? The device doesn't require a log in.
@@edsgarage001 smartbox-54FA password
You don't need to type in the wireless connection password.
Disconnect and delete everything, then start over.
When you connect to the Bluetooth signal of the smart box, it automatically should connect you to the wireless signal, and it'll put in the password on its own.
Do you how to reset this
Unplug it.
It retains no memory. So when you plug it in, it just waits for a Bluetooth device to connect to it, and then it also starts broadcasting a WiFi signal.
To "reset" it, just unplug it. But to reset your connection to it, delete it out of your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi lists on your cell phone.
Just got mine, didnt manage to get it to work with my Skoda Octavia. Works ok till I tap Android auto on my car screen and the simply disconnects
Damn... 😕.
See if you can get a refund. And maybe try a different model
I bought the same model as yours unfortunately, it doesnt work. I get the same prompts etc and the wifi connects aswell to the box, it shows that android auto is available bit nothing on my car screen 😢
Try removing everything and start over
Make sure you clean out your Bluetooth and wifi settings (delete the car and the smart box) and then clean out the Bluetooth settings on the car stereo as well.
@@edsgarage001 already tried this, but I'll just try and reset the infotainment system completely 😁 And see if that does it 🙂
Good luck!
If the car has neither wired or wireless Android auto would this adapter work?
No, this requires a head unit that already has wired Android auto
@@edsgarage001 do you know of any adapter that works with neither wired or wireless Android auto
No, fairly certain that such a thing does not exist. Because your head unit on your car doesn't like have a video input, nor will it be able to interpret a digital video signal.
@@edsgarage001 thanks for the info
Any one got any idea why is not working on my bmw g30
Wipe everything related out of bluetooth and wifi settings of your phone and your car .. and start over.
If it still doesn't work then it's likely a compatibility issue, and you may want to try a different brand of wireless dongle.
Do i have to charge
No
I have the device and want to connect to my seat ibiza 2018, but. Cant connect, the radio sees the product but can't get access to it so it doesn't connect, it restarted my radio multiple times. Anyone know how to fix this?
Does your Seat have built in "Wired" Android Auto already?
@@edsgarage001 yes
From factory only android auto
Delete Bluetooth devices from both your phone and your car.. then follow my instructions very carefully again.
Unfortunately that's all I can suggest without sitting in it with you
@@edsgarage001 did that, it connect's to the radio, it wants to start up, then says can't get permission for data and then reboots the System
Just purchased the same adapter for my 2017 bmw X6 unfortunately it doesn't work 🤦🏾♂️
Did your BMW come with Android Auto originally?
@@edsgarage001 no apple car play
I can't see the point of this device it connects to my infotainment USB connector. The phone is in my pocket. Battery is flat after 4 hours of music streaming and Google Maps. So I still need to plug the phone in to keep it charged. The Android adapter uses the socket where the phone used to charge and stream from.
So, I'm sending it back .
It's great if you have a wireless charger in your car to put your phone on.... stops you from having to constantly plug your phone in every time you step into your car.
Wired Android auto keeps disconnecting.. This may be a good solution
Good luck!!
Has anyone tried using this device and your phone as a hotspot at the same time?
Some phones have a dual WiFi antenna... But most don't
if your phone does not have atleast android 11, it is way way too over due for an upgrade.
Agreed
I must be part dutch because ain't nothing wrong with wanting it cheap first 😅😅😅.
Damn straight! 😆
I tried your link but I'm in the United States
Just search for wireless Android auto adapter... Super easy to find
Guys, may somebody please let me know the stock WiFi password.
Thanks in advance
If you're attempting to connect to it via Wi-Fi, then you've done something wrong.
Once you connect to it via Bluetooth, it should automatically establish the WiFi connection.
Delete the devices from your phone and car stereo and start over.
Just go to another safe location i did not appreciate the blurred screen
There was nothing you needed to see there 🤷
You didn't appreciate the blurred screen???? What??
What are you hiding?
What do you mean?
A better alternative for older vehicles may be to change the entire head unit for an after market one. Also, they do have specific car brand/model casings that will blend into the original console.
I have a base 2021 chevy lol i might do this so i can use both my phones easily now. Cuz my apple is having a hard time connecting.
Thx for the comment!
