Wireless Android Auto???

[TomAce9906]

First time poster here, so I apologize if this may have been posted somewhere else...

I just took delivery of my 2021 RAM 3500 Limited Megacab. Apparently, it has the capability of WIRELESS Android Auto. I've gotten Android Auto work when it's plugged in to the USB-C port, and Bluetooth Audio works fine. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get Android Auto to work wirelessly. Any insight on this??

Thanks

Where do you see it has that capability? No one else does here. Just curious, is it on the window sticker?

Wireless only works on 22 models with uconnect 5 , yours still has uconnect 4 .

Well maybe I’m wrong but none of the 2021 systems have uconnect5. I believe you have Uconnect 4

This is my understanding as well. I have a 2021 2500 Limited Longhorn and no wireless CarPlay (or Android Auto). However, I found a solution that works surprisingly well. I got it on Amazon. It is a small dongle that you plug into the USB port and then connect your phone to wirelessly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0928WZ9PG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have tried a number of these and a lot of them are very slow to connect, have poor sound quality, and/or crash. I have had this one for a month now. It connects quickly every time without intervention and there have been no crashes.

Sounds like a great solution. Do you happen to know if this would work the same with Android Auto or is it setup specifically for Apple Carplay?

I have not tried it with Android but it is advertised as working with both. Amazon has free returns so I don’t think you have anything to lose by trying.

@elephantrider thanks! i searched on youtube for AA wireless in your picture.
Found a vid on how it all works. i'm pretty dumb with tech so i liked the video. some younger ppl might find it annoying.

 

[elephantrider]

it's super easy to set up. there may be a delay on delivery if you order one, with all the ic shortages.

Does this give full screen AA by and chance?

 

[elephantrider]

nope.
