In this video we will be going over the Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto USB Adapter. We will go over how to setup the Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto USB Adapter and my thoughts on the product overall.
The Motorola MA1 wireless android auto dongle for car can be used to add Wireless Android Auto to your Wired Android Auto Only car.
This android auto wireless dongle requires that your car already supports wired Android Auto allowing to convert it to wireless Android Auto.

Thanks for the tip on draining the cars battery. On a hyundai ioniq hybrid (2018) the power shuts off after about 1-2 minutes. USB power turns back on as soon as I open the door, so thats nice for reconnect time. From what I've gathered, the devices connect over bluetooth and then it uses wifi for normal communication.

However, noticed that pressing the side button once drops the first phone and connects to the second. I don't know if I'm tricking myself into believing this or not. It has worked rather quickly the last 2 times in this scenario. Would love to hear if you have the same observation. Thanks 👍🏻

Because the cable is fixed you have to let it hang there. If you wanted to tuck it above the compartment where the wireless charger is you'd need a USB extension such as amzn.to/3JgSsn4. I only used that cable with the MA1 (10ft version) so I know that one works. I'd assume others would work too as long as they have power and data but I can't confirm that.

Wide screen on the telluride for Android Auto is an issue with the car's radio unit and not android auto. One of the newer updates (i think version 15) added the ability for AA to use the whole screen on larger displays. i actually have a video going over how to do the update process for KIA vehicles which you can find here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GugXt_2_aFs.html

As long as the the car supports wired Android Auto it should work with it. AAWireless vs MA1: MA1 has button that can be used to switch phones; AAW does not so harder to swap MA1 has a short fixed cable; AAW has detachable USB-C cable. Some like the cable being fixed, I don't and it's too short (11cm total, 7cm for bendable wire section) AAW has a companion app which allows for updates (new features) and changing settings such as forcing DPI to get AA Split screen; MA1 does not have a companion app and no extra features MA1 can be purchased through Amazon & Target (at least in US); AAW ships international but through indiegogo AAW: $85USD ; MA1: $89.95USD

@fryeguy115 2 года назад
Great in-depth review! Was debating on getting this to review. Having the Motorola branding definitely increased exposure for devices like these. I have the AAWireless Dongle instead of this one. That one comes with a companion app that solves the issue of it staying connected because the usb port is powered. They have a setting in the app you can enable called "Start/Stop" which says to only connect to the dongle when you're also connected to bluetooth in your car. You only connect to bluetooth when your car is turned on or the door are open for long enough. Haven't had the issue since. I think getting a companion app to be able to push firmware updates is key for this thing. Otherwise, I'd go with AAWireless.

Setting the Start AA Automatically to Always was a problem in my setup. Maybe because my third party headunit was still in it's bootup process when the MA1 fully boots. The phone kept Looking for Android Auto but never connecting. Setting this to Set by Car resolved it for me. Before I figured this out my wired connection was already working prior to this and for some reason I had set this to Always and the only way I could get the MA1 to work properly was to connect it to the headunit after it booted up.

@BeardedTechGuy
@BeardedTechGuy 2 года назад
This will depend on your car and how it handles the power to the USB port for Android Auto. Some cars do not turn off power ever to the port, while others (like mine) will turn power off to the port 5 - 10 minutes after the car doors are locked. I'd suggest locking your car and giving it a little while to see if the connection goes away on its own (if you haven't already). If the car leaves power to the port always on then you will have to either unplug the adapter when not in use or you could look into an extension cable with a on/off toggle such as this: amzn.to/3C02zda .

To factory reset: delete the AA connection from your phone and delete the BT pairing as well. Then hold the button down for 30 seconds and let it go. I did the factory reset (button portion) several times in a row (pulling power and letting it boot each time in between). Hope that helps!

Я рад, что вам понравилось видео. Моя машина включает питание через USB-порт, как только дверь открывается, поэтому мой телефон обычно подключен и готов к работе еще до того, как я пристегнусь. (I'm glad you liked the video. My car turns power on to the USB port as soon as the door is unlocked so for me my phone is usually connected and ready to go before I even get buckled.)

GOT A QUICK QUESTION... this doggle is connected to my phone and works on my Harley radio just fine. Android auto works just fine connected by cord on my 20 Silverado. But when I plug in the doggle to the truck, the green light goes solid meaning it's connected to the phone but it does not transfer the picture to the screen but the directions still come across the speakers from the phone. I just can't open the phone to see the directions because it's connected to the doggle. My question is if it works on the Harley why is it not coming up on the screen on the Silverado even though it is connected to the doggle? All it does is shows a spinning wheel and says "searching for phone".

Hmmmm that's an odd one. I've seen that a few people have some issues with Silverados and AA in general. I assume your phone works wired to it directly? If possible make sure your head unit is running the latest software version as well.

Not being able to update the firmware is an automatic FAIL by Motorola and the MA1. I returned mine and is now using the AAWireless June 2022 version with the updated firmware. Did not work well with my Mazda and took far to long to connect vs the AAwireless.

Do you need a navigation head unit with android auto for this to work?
@BeardedTechGuy
@BeardedTechGuy 2 года назад
You just need a car that supports wired Android Auto. Navigation would then work through Android Auto using your phone's data. If your car does not support Android auto this adapter would NOT work in your car.

I have used a Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 5a with a 2020 Kia Telluride SXP without any issues, after doing a few factory resets of the adapter. I have not seen any quality difference between wired or wireless with the adapter. I have also not heard any sound difference as well that I know a few people reported. I personally think those reporting the issues are telling the truth tho and it is going to depend on a combination of phone and car.

When it works, it's pretty amazing. Where I have issues is trying to re configure it to a new phone. I was using an s23 ultra then switched it to a z flip 5. Found out between it charging and the AA constantly running and running spotify or another app like it, my z flip 5 was getting way too hot to charge it. Tried switching back to my s23 ultra for a couple of hours today and no go. I'll have to run it wired. Sucks bc I paid like 80 bucks for this thing.

It's been working for me over a year until I either accidentally cleared it or the pw got messed up. That's what I came to look for the wifi pw if it's 0000 1235 or something like 012345678. The old video and way I got it to first connect do a wired connection then swap it out once it starts connecting. Also note VPNs will not let it work.

Worked flawlessly with my pixel 6 pro, but can't get my wife's pixel 5a to work. I can pair to it, but then the phone asks to select android auto on the display, and my car (chevy volt) says a device has to be connected first. So the car now doesnt recognize it? I checked the android auto settings on her phone and wireless android auto is enabled. It's not a car issue either because my pixel 6 pro connects flawlessly and the car lets me select the screen. Any ideas?

I'm not sure. They claim to have special OEM hardware but I have no idea what that could mean. I also don't see how they could push updates to it without a companion app.
@CFL-TECH
@CFL-TECH 2 года назад
Being it's using Bluetooth and it's a go between your phone and the car's head unit, It shouldn't be obsolete very soon. Bluetooth doesn't change too often and should be backwards compatible with an older version when the next version of Bluetooth come out. Overall Bluetooth generally stays the same as far as connectivity goes from device to device.
