Non Wireless Android Auto Seems Kind of Pointless (Waze)

[RAM_Dad]

the upper echelon mfg's have wireless aa and cp. takes a while to trickle down

GM trucks have wireless AA/CP and I don't anyone would call them upper echelon

My wife's new pacifica has uconnect 5 and wireless aa

Stumbled across this wireless AA module that looks like it utilizes wifi.

AAWireless

AAWireless is now available via our official webshop: https://www.aawireless.io | Check out 'AAWireless' on Indiegogo.

Can confirm. That little wireless AA device works like a gem. I've had it in my last 3 trucks. OTA updates via the app too. Really well made

I have been using the AAWireless. Works great.
You still have to unlock the phone to connect wirelessly.
It's small and hides away nicely.

How is this different than what the current uConnect 5 does? My phone automatically connects wirelessly as soon as I get in the truck via android auto..so waze/spotify/etc are all able to be projected on the screen. Assuming that's only good until the free wifi hotspot runs out though?

uc4 didn't have wireless. uc5 does. aa wireless allows uc4 to have the wireless option.

Loving my AAWireless for uc4. Had to change USB type to MTP force start and it works great. Wireless charging pad is pretty dang finicky though with my Samsung S22 with no case.

I had to set my Blackview dash cam wifi to not connect automatically. The dash cam would connect before aawireless and no AA. Just a heads up.

i got one of the aawireless dongles and it works well my only gripe is it is a little buggy sometimes doesnt wanna connect and makes my phone go through an endless loop of trying to connect and failing.. i have to delete the device from uconnect under paired devices and it will work. other issue is the usb in the truck never seems to shut off leaving the device powered on after i get out and my phone keeps trying to connect to it from inside my house. I have to unplug the aawirelss device everytime i park my truck with kinda defeats the purpose.

So this uses WiFI and not Bluetooth? I assume music sounds good then. Streaming Spotify on Bluetooth sucks

I bought the Motorola AA wireless thingy for mine. Works great but gets glichy after being on for an extended trip, like around hour 8 or 9 it starts to reset every so often. The phone eats battery with the navigation and music running so on long trips, I just use the cable.
