Wireless Android Auto and Apple car play dongle
Is there a dongle out there that combines wireless AA and wireless AC?
I found a Motorola AA device but that only has AA. Thanks. |
CarlinKit. Look it up

I haven't heard good reviews for carlinkit but will look it up. Thanks.

My carlinkit TBox Plus works great and will do anything you want it to do. For this model there is a short boot up time that turns whole screen into android tablet but also wireless for AA and AC. A regular dongle probably connects quicker but gives much less. I don't use AA as this has full screen maps.

Ottocast U2 Pro.
|
Where do you guys store these devices in the car though?
Do you guys mind taking some photos? At the moment, I was able to get Raspberry Pi4 working which gives me wireless AA. |
+1 to Ottocast U2 Pro. A bit buggy when it converts the signal from carplay to AA (2019 doesn't have AA) but very seamless for carplay aside of minor load up time and 1 second delay for next song.
@es250sport I put mine into the little phone slot by where the the USB ports are. I use a short USB cable and wrap it around the sides of the device that tucks into the gap so it it's snug inside. |
Which short cable are you using?
Also does the cover close?

Also does the cover close? The length of length of the ottocast stands a bit too high so I'm unable to close the lid. Even if it were shorter, I think the thickness of the USB A jack is too high anyways. If you're looking for a flatter cable, see this post . I did buy one from Ali but unfortunately got a faulty wire so I got the one from Walmart instead. |
Don't know anything about the Ottocast U2 Pro but I think it has to use the phone. What I use turns the screen into an android tablet independent of the phone as it even has a sim slot for internet. There is no need for me to use the wireless AA or CP it offers. I do use my phone as a hotspot that it connects to. It fits in cell phone slot and cannot close lid.
