Wireless Android Auto

[LiveTrash]

Has anyone managed to figure out how to use Android Auto wirelessly? I see the option on my phone, but it won't turn on Android Auto on the car unless I plug in my phone.
It this just not an option?

Yeah, I don't believe Sync3 is wireless Android Auto compatible, unfortunately.

I don't really trust those crowd funding projects. I've only ever backed one, and it was so promising. It raised a huge amount of money, no reason it should have ever failed. Yet it did, nothing was ever delivered to anyone.

I'll wait for something like this to hit the shelves though, thanks!

Kinda pricey but I guess if it works. I don't mind plugging my phone in. I have a proclip holder right there on the passenger side of the console and the lid to the usb port has a notch for the cord so it's right there pretty concealed the way i've got it routed

I have the AAwireless, OttoCast, CarPlayAIbox and now have the new OttoCast underway. The AAWireless sofar has worked best but (especially with spotify) every now and then it drops connection for a second.

The CarPlayAI box takes a LONG time to boot up and is very slow when in use. Also it doesn't respond to well to screen input and scrolling is horrible. Definitely DO NOT get this one.

The original OttoCast didn't work that great but heard good things about the newest one, and as it's also a standalone Android unit i hope it will work better.

I want to use a standalone device as my phone (Samsung Galaxy S22+) is getting extremely hot when using wireless android auto and have it in the wireless charging tray. Especially so when using it to navigate, listen to music and having an app to warn me for speedcams, it will get so hot the phone starts to lag. But well, using it with android auto while it is in the wireless charger is kind of the whole idea, isn't it? So hopefully the new OttoCast will work as advertised but my hopes aren't that high tbh.
