I would, and did, with a simple yet powerful device called&nbsp;AAWireless&nbsp;that does just that \u2013 lets me use Android Auto in my car with the phone being connected wirelessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been a huge fan of Android Auto for some years as the primary method of planning car journeys with Google Maps and navigating to where I want to drive: I follow the planned journey in Android Auto that\u2019s paired to my Android smartphone, with the map displayed on my car\u2019s&nbsp;head unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, Android Auto also fulfils a key role in managing my in-car entertainment such as listening to music via Amazon Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, etc. Via the head unit touchscreen or voice commands, I can use many other apps installed on my smartphone such as PockectCasts or Google Podcasts for listening to podcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also provides the means for voice-activated communication such as sending and receiving WhatsApp messages or SMS texts, all via the Android Auto home screen displayed on the head unit and with the ability to talk to the Google Assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In sum, Android Auto replaces the car\u2019s own navigation and entertainment system. Overall, it is far superior and intuitive to use \u2013 how much more intuitive can you get than with conversational English? There\u2019s also live traffic information, increasingly important these days and probably more so than using a map on a familiar route. Google\u2019s offering is more accurate than what you typically get on any car manufacturer\u2019s system with third-party software that you usually have to pay for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s four years on from when Google first made it possible to use Android Auto with cars\u2019 head units. As more cars come to the market with more sophisticated technology and functionality aboard, consumer demand will increase for highly useful built-in features that just work. And consumer demand is also a driver, so to speak \u2013 people want to be able to interact with their cars as they do with their mobile devices, using touch screens and talking to an AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NOW IS THE THE TIME FOR WIRELESS ANDROID AUTO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Already,&nbsp;some cars manufacturers&nbsp;offer the ability for compatible smartphones to connect wirelessly with compatible head units in some markets, thus enabling Android Auto without a cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is far from universal, and&nbsp;far from a seamless, intuitive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until the time comes when wireless connectivity within a car is a seamless experience even if not universal (and it surely will be \u2013 recent versions of Android Auto are wireless-connectivity enabled), you want something that just works every time you start the car (or, in hybrid and EV terms, turn it on) without you having to plug in a cable each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.nevillehobson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot_20210411-113007_Android-Auto.png?resize=541%2C579&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wireless Android Auto setting\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need is AAWireless, a small plug-and-play device available today that enables your smartphone to use the device\u2019s internal wifi module to connect to your Android Auto-compatible head unit instead of connecting the phone to your car with a USB cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what you need to make this work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A smartphone running Android 9 or later with Android Auto installed.<\/li><li>A car with a head unit \u2013 either the built-in one from the manufacturer or an aftermarket unit \u2013 that supports the display of Android Auto.<\/li><li>A USB cable that will let your phone talk to the car (not all USB cables are equal to this task).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You connect the AAWireless device to your car via the USB cable. Yes, there\u2019s still need for a cable but in this case, it\u2019s plug-in-and-forget with the device and not your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your phone then pairs with the AAWireless device via Bluetooth that provides the necessary credentials for the device to enable a WiFi connection for your phone. Once that\u2019s done, the Bluetooth connection disconnects. From then, it\u2019s wireless all the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To order your AAWireless unit click here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/aawireless#\/updates\/all\">https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/aawireless#\/updates\/all&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>To order your AAWireless unit click here:&nbsp;https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/aawireless#\/updates\/all&nbsp;
