My research says I have to use a wireless dongle with my 2023 Ranger to cut the cord.
Is anyone using Android Auto wirelessly successfully and are happy?
Any dongle recommendations?
Currently I'm using a Google Pixel.
Thanks,
Robert

I am using a Motorola wireless adaptor, and it is working very well.

Thanks, Ai says:
Purchase a dedicated wireless Android Auto adapter, such as the Motorola MA1 or a similar CarPlay/Android Auto USB dongle.

I've been using the Motorola AA wireless adapter for almost 4 years now and have had no problems with it.

I've been using a Carsifi wireless adapter for about 6 years with zero issues. One year in my Ranger and 5 years in my traded in Kia Niro.

I have the AA Wireless 2 and it works well, but sometimes flakes out and won't connect. That seems to happen rarely but is annoying. Usually a quick rest fixes it, but sometimes it just starts working again the same way it stopped: mysteriously. Computers are fun, right?

AA Wireless 2 is the way. I owned a couple of Motorola ones that both died after a year or so. They dropped constantly. AAW2 is very consistent and has a dedicated app to configure it. You can change the dpi to make your display look "larger" so that AA automatically adds the rest of maps functionality even in split screen mode
