Motorola MA1: Wireless Android Auto Adapter | Setup Less Than 1 Minute! 

I have tried 3 wireless Android Auto devices and this Motorola MA1 has been working absolutely flawlessly for a month now, I even forget I have it !!! 100% satisfied !!!

If you read the reviews you know I had a pretty upsetting review about this product, if you remember I had several problems. I owe this gentleman and apology. I repurchased the adapter, this time I read the instructions and it works perfect. Here's what I did wrong I did not unpair my phone from my car radio, before I paired the phone to the Motorola device. In my review I complained about several compatibility problems, this all happened because I did not unpair my phone from the radio first.🤓🤓🤓🤓

Had my adaptor for around 5 months now, and thus far only needed to restart once....great product

This thing is awesome. I spent 400 bucks on a kenwood deck and was extremely aggravated that I didn't notice the android auto was WIRED android auto. I dealt with that for a week doing doordash and man was it a hassle! I ran across your video and immediately bought one and was so glad I did. This thing is truly awesome! I've had it a bit better than a month I think and have only had an issue once the entire time. Thanks for this video!

I enjoyed seeing the montage with the car peeling out as he connects. LOL I'm still going to buy it just so i get the maps as soon as i get into my car though.

I've found this to be a great device. My cubby allows me do the tuck move and still keep it closed. It connects in less than 30 seconds and I think I've only had one time were it didn't connect at all, which it connected immediately the next time I got in the car.

Great review. I have the same complaint about mounting it but mine works flawlessly hasn't cut out once been using for a week now. If it is giving you trouble try factory resetting it 👍

Really looking forward to this. I'm going to connect it to my Sony touchscreen head unit and hide the dongle in the dash.

Placement of the USB on your particular car makes a big difference, I have a '19 WRX, so the USB is in the center console and this mounts very nicely inside and out of the way.

Picked one up the other day - plug and play and no problems at all. I'm able to swap it between two separate cars and it fires up without fail every time.

Ok I purchased it 140.00 now 200.00 on amazon works 97% sometimes just blank screen but I also don't upgrade android auto until I have too thank you for everything great video

Thanks for the video. I'm picking mine up today and want to just plug/play and drive. Looks seamless. It is always something with the USB ''space' isn't it? but nothing is close to being perfect haha can't wait to see what mine is like! thanks again!

The short cord shouldn't be a problem. Just buy another cord of your desired length with the correct male/female plugs on each end (i.e., a USB "extension cord) and place the dongle wherever you wish.

Wonder if this would solve the Galaxy S22/AA issue with Pioneer head units where the screen is just black when its time to finish setup on the radio.

This one fits perfectly in my car, i use a ultra fast charger so i don't care if the dongle significantly drains the battery cz I would be able to use my charger plugged in and use Android auto 💯🔥🔥 nice review

Can you try if will stuck when you loose and get back internet connection? To reproduce this test you can connect and then simple switch off and then on the "data" toggle. I discovered this problem with Carsifi and aawireless and i would to check if this Motorola has the same problems.

Mine works flawlessly.

At the 30 second mark you said you're doing a comparison video but you never mentioned the other device or how this compares to it. Also the card you said you would attach doesn't exist. What are my alternatives to this dongle?

Will this work on a 2016 Mazda 3? I've been having issues with the Bluetooth staying connected to my S23...

I brought a USB c dock/ stand for my Samsung note, double tapped the stand into a cubby hole/ storage compartment running the cable beneath the console by drilling a hole. Everytime i get into my car, i just dock the phone! Android auto and charging in one go!

I'm lucky, my two usb ports for my stereo are in the passenger foot area since it's an aftermarket stereo.

I connected right away with my 2018 audi q7 works smoothly

What about the music sound quality as compared to a wired Android auto? Does it sound like a lower quality bluetooth connection?

I have a USB underneath the tray of the center arm rest in my Ford Focus. I wonder if the transmitting is strong enough to allow placement there? Does this turn off when the ignition is off? I wouldn't want it draining my battery

If you want the cord to be longer. You can add extension to it.

Hi Justin, thanks for the video. How it works so far? I am interesting on acquiring One. Thanks

How secure is this? There was no password or pairing conformation process...

Does navigation fully work with google maps ?

I'm guessing it's not detachable because they wanted to eliminate points of failure. I can see all sorts of connection issues the engineers designing this were trying to avoid. In some instances you can use an extension cable and hide this out of the way.

Hi. Can you help confirm whether you can still play audio through "regular" Bluetooth (paired between car and Pixel 6) and still use Waze on Android Auto wireless? Like maybe play audio in the Netflix app or something. This is what I do with a wired connection and curious if the MA1 will help do the same. I have my MA1 coming in a couple weeks. Edit: Turns out this works.

will this work with a portable android auto?

Does it support screen mirroring?. Can watch video or videos from my library over the car screen?

I have a 2013 elantra gt could I install it on my car I have performance exhaust but I like the one u show in the other video,I just want to know would it be compatible on my carand my car is stick shift.

How is the image quality compared to plugging straight in? Is it the same, softer?

My 2010 crv doesn't bring a screen, do you guys know a great touch screen i can add to my car to be able to use android auto dongle?

HI Justin great video can you please post a link to the other AA wireless thanks.

i will appreciate if you can take a video about the gear knob replacement, i want to DIY as i my i30 gear knob is not the style like yours

Hey bud. Good video, thanks. Tell me, if my wife and I both got in the car, how would we control who's on the Android Auto? Should one of us turn off BT?

What about the sound quality with the dongle? Because with wired Android auto the audio quality is poor.

Surely you could bend the cable a bit to hide it in that little compartment

Is it good for rav4 2015

Does this only support audio? Does this support Mirror Cast? Can you play Video on the screen?

For music only....Is it better to use Bluetooth or a device like this. Which music will be cleaner?

Just watching your video, pretty normal to have the Pandora music pop a couple of quick by him up and down or chop up just for a second or two when first started playing. Once it gets going I never have a problem with it. Sadly my am a one that I set up on January 7 apparently died and went to heaven couple of weeks ago. Waiting for support response from Motorola my second request first one never got an answer. It was a nearly perfect solution in my 2019 Subaru CrossTrek I'm hoping to get something like it or it working again.

Does the MA1 need to be plugged into the vehicle data port or can it be connected to a charging only vehicle USB port?

So I have a 2015 RAV4 which doesn't even android auto installed in the infotainment system.. will I be able to have Android auto in my RAV4 if I purchase this ?

I went the cheaper route, I bought a crappy rubber phone case, cut it in half, then bought a magnetic USB adapter and cable. I put the magnetic usb type C adapter into my phone, then took the lower half of the rubber phone case and attached half a popsicle stick to the bottom, then connected the other end of the magnetic usb cable (type c side) to the popsicle stick, then put double sided tape on the bottom of the case, and put it on my wireless charger. I can now quickly slide my phone into the case, the magnets make contact, and it immediately brings up android auto, technically not wireless, but I don't have to plug something in each time I get in the car.

Did you have to push the button at all during setup. I would like to get one for my Harley. But once it's mounted behind the fender I wouldn't want to have to take everything apart everytime to setup a new phone.

If left plugged in,when engine off,dose this device still use power from car battery??

Is it compatible with all cars???

Add USB extension?

I have seen lots of complaints on Reddit about sound cutting out from time to time. I am having this issue. I have a 2022 Toyota 4Runner using a Samsung Fold 3. Anyone having this issue?

will this every work on Apple Carplay system such as Macan? I have android phone but this car doesnt support Android Auto.....

Sent my MA1 back and got AAWIRELESS instead, works si much better..

My car is tata safari xm,it has inbuilt system with screen,bluetooth all available.but no android auto and car play in that. If i buy ths i can have android auto in company system??

Will it work with a USB extension adapter?

Does it offer split screen mode with the Motorola adapter?

Mine worked for a long time, then randomly started disconnecting itself & now won't work. The dongle lights up but won't work wirelessly. I've tried this & other sites... Frustrating

Hello I have a older model truck 08 Avalanche older interface no bluetooth ...cud u do a review on a older model

I have a touchscreen radio, that doesn't have android auto. If I attach this can I use android auto on the screen?

Just a stupid question from my end but want to confirm. Will this work on a 2014 f30 bmw?

my audio is braking up sometins even with the cable connection. I guess is an Android Auto problem

To all who use the MA1 adapter. Do you also have the problem that the connection to the adapter breaks off if the smartphone loses the mobile connection while driving?

I've watched every video on this model. I have an s21 Galaxy. And it is not working with my 2023 Santa Fe... I have no idea what the issue is I've done six different ways and none of it's working and it's in my data port..

do you need to install any application on the motorola phone like aawireless?

Can you extend the cord?

Will it work to any kind and model of car?

My truck doesn't have android auto, will this dongle allow me now have Android auto?

Does this work if you system is only apple car play

Hi,,,,Where have you buy that dongle,,,,Thank you

Can you listen / watch youtube while driving?

Is the Motorola better quality than the carsifi android auto adapter?

Ordered it off Amazon, then got picked up for delivery USPS. Package never made it. Got stolen. Now I see them on Ebay for 250 to 400 dollars

where you bought it?

Does is burn battery life really fast?

Will it work on Sony XAV-AX100?

will it work with 2015 kia forte ?

Does it work with multiple phones?

This is not how the directions explain the setup process? They mention starting with the phone hardwired. Maybe that is why it isn't working on either of my cars? I'll try this method...

Hmmmmmm.?.... at 7min where you discuss the power used , you say that you could use a wireless charger. I dont have a wireless charger so therefore I would have to plug my phone into a charging cable so that I DO NOT have to plug my phone into a cable to access my phone data on the screen. So, am I any better off???? I still have to 'plug my phone in'......

Can you play videos while parked? Because that’d be rad.

Why mine prompted for password? What's the password for this device?

Bummer. I assume this maintains the wifi connection. My truck has wifi and I wouldn't be able to do both.

Hope someone can answer this dumb question: This is NOT Android Auto itself, but rather a way for your Android Auto to work without you plugging in your phone? My vehicle doesn't have Android Auto (has CarPlay.) So this would not give me Android Auto, correct?

Where do you find this for $90? Ever place I've seen is $130 to $200

Does it still works after 2years?

USB cord works like a champ, but all the motorola does is lets me stream pandora?

Just secribed thanks

You didn't even take any calls or texts with it

Impossible to buy anywhere!

get a usb cable extender

I bought that like 3 days ago

I hate that it stays on when the car is off.

Almost looks like a chromecast.

Just get a UBC female to male extension

Drink every time he says dongle

A little pricey without video capability

You cute tho. That's all I wanted to say haha

POOR QUALITY VIDEO LIGHTING SUCKS

Oh lord. A hyundai? A pixel? You like living on the edge dont you
