Android Auto - Using Wirelessly.

[LostMy65]

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.

AA Wireless is another good option!

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

Thanks All!
AA it is...

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

I am using the Ottocast Mini Cube 3.0 from Amazon and it works well for me except when I drive by a couple of local businesses and it will briefly disconnect. I have a suspicion that they are using equipment that would make the FCC upset.

Same here on my '22 Ranger. Using it with a Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. Works great.

I'm still rocking the original AA Wireless (Ordered March of 21 on Indiegogo) in the RS, I've been thinking about the "AA Wireless Two" for the Ranger as I hear it is better when you have multiple drivers for switching the active phone and my wife will drive the Ranger and is use to Wireless AA from the headunit I swapped into her Jeep, but she'll never drive the RS.
