I kept getting a message on the Sync screen that an update for AAWireless was available. When I clicked on it, it said "no phone", even though my phone was right there. So I brought AAWirelss up on my phone and clicked update, and with "no phone" still showing on the truck, it updated and rebooted seamlessly.

Not sure if you need to have your phone connected and then turn on the audio, click sources and look for either AA (android auto) by itself or click on your phone and access it thru the phone.

My Durango i had as a take hone car would only connect to AA via a wired USB connection.

I've had Pandora show up in the past as an app on the truck, ive not looked for it in a long while, I just click my phone as source and then click my Pandora app on my phone. When I want to stream podcasts I connect to my phone and open the app it's on. Hope i helped and didn't muddy the waters

I was just sharing my experience with my first AAWireless update. I have only been using it a short while. It eliminates the need to connect via USB. It was confusing that it prompted me to update, then acted like it didn't see the phone. So maybe I am helping someone who runs into the same thing, you need to bring up the AAWireless app up on your phone to get the update to work, while it it still wirelessly connected to the truck.

Yep, clear on wireless now, i just don't use it. I only used the wired variety in my Durango so I could use Google maps when I was responding to a call.

What software version are you running on Sync 3? I didn't think it supported wireless AA or CarPlay. If it does now, this would be a game changer.

SYNC 3 doesn't support wireless. They are using a separate AAWireless module plugged into the USB port. That module is what gets the software update they are talking about.

I just got an aawireless this week and received a notice of an update last night. It wouldn't update since I wasn't in the Ranger. When I got in this morning, it updated immediately.
Haven't had much time to play around with it but finding I can't make phone calls by voice or respond to texts. Probably a setting somewhere...

Oh man, I'm gonna have to check that. That would be a serious bummer.

So yesterday, I could make calls out, didn't try answering calls coming in. I was able to respond to texts the first time after that replies weren't working. I think it's more of a Google thing than the aawireless.
