I just that that AA wireless would connect via Bluetooth, then my phone would connect via wifi through the truck to the AT&T wifi. Not a big deal, but I find myself unplugging AA wireless & plugging in my phone to get the charge!That makes sense since you're choosing to use WiFi for Android Auto instead of WiFi for internet. I am not sure if you can do both at the same time

AA uses both WiFi and bluetooth
I guess I'm learning that, I just assumed it was bluetooth. My bad for sure. I still really, really like the option to use it, especially when I have several short trips to do in one day (I just have to make sure that I charge my phone overnight)!
Update: received the 12V to 5V converter (4.2A max, Quick Charge 3.0) I ordered from Amazon and verified Quick Charge is working fine with the wireless pad @DirkM sent me with his bracket. This install is a go...when I get my truck. Thanks again Dirk!
I hadn't even thought about this lol...oh well I tend not to use my phone for ridiculous amounts of data while driving and I'm guessing it won't impact the ability of passengers to connect to the vehicle WiFi Hotspot?
I don't think it'll affect passengers at all
Do you have the Amazon link for converter?Update: received the 12V to 5V converter (4.2A max, Quick Charge 3.0) I ordered from Amazon and verified Quick Charge is working fine with the wireless pad @DirkM sent me with his bracket. This install is a go...when I get my truck. Thanks again Dirk!
I posted it over in the Wieless Charging Install thread. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072JC1DQF?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image
Cool, that's good to hear. I finally received a tracking # like 3 weeks ago from DHL but it's one of those deals where the number is generated but nothing is in the shipping company's hands yet. No updates since then. I hope mine hasn't gone missing after waiting so long.
Mine took about a month - local post office marke it return to sender address incomplete for 2 days. 3rd try it got delivered, and address was 100% correct. Not sure what was going on.
I recieved mine a few months ago and never saw this thread. Works great, the only problem already mentioned is you never charge your phone. Guess I need to send Dirk some money.
His wireless charging setup is money well spent! The Ranger should have had one already but it's great that he filled the void.
