Apple Car Play/Android Auto module

[Michal Hradocky]

Hello! I'm buying a 2019 Stinger GT, but unfortunately, it doesn't have Apple Car Play/Android Auto module inserted and I haven't found a solution for this yet. Have you got any tips regarding this?
Thank you.

Thank you.

Are you looking for a wireless module?

I used to use a Motorola MA1, but it failed after approximately a year.

I switched to this no-name brand version which has been working flawlessly for the past few weeks.

I got the AAWIRELESS, its been flawless for 2 years.
I bought 2, one for me one for my best friend for his birthday, both have been worry free and it supports android as well as apple carplay after a recent update.
Highly recommend them.
If you have no access from the wired android auto you need to use the usb port at the front of the middle console.
Sometimes the cheaper usb cables dont work....

There is/was a long thread about this but the search function on the forum is broken/missing, so can't find it.

What search term would you search for? The search seems to be working for me?

Funny I don't even see a search button to use upper right. I think Sal (the owner/admin) is probably desperate trying to get people to not use adblockers or subscribe, he runs car forums and they're all in decline.

AAWireless MA1 and android auto might yield results.

I managed to find another way of browsing a list of threads I've posted in, and found it on page 3 there:

Since the latest software update, the new system preserves resources by restricting a few of the more resource intensive features when ad blockers are used. Things like search and attachments are items that fall into that category. Try whitelisting this site and browse around a bit and the functionality will become available again. Basic functionality like reading, writing, etcetera is not affected... To note, any of the account upgrades (support options) allow for the use of an ad blocker without the reduced functionality.

So... exactly what I said. Got it.

Assuming wireless AA or CP is what OP is asking about, yes, they are super convenient. Not all wireless modules do both AA/CP, so you might have to choose one camp. For AA, I've got 2 Motorola MA1's running in two cars for more than 2yrs now. The only thing I wish it has is a quick way to switch between paired phones. I can make it switch BT source, but it's a bit kludgy and not worth the hassle while I'm driving. On our last long trip, my kids wanted to play their music, and I had to pass my phone around for them to choose music on my phone. Would've been easier if I could easily switch wireless AA to their own phones for those situations. Not a big deal, since the need doesn't come up very often.

Otherwise, the MA1 has been rock solid so far.

AA wireless can switch between devices with AA, you just select the wireless AA app on the infotainment screen and switch device.

There is a Wireless AA app? That's news to me.

It's specifically for the AAWireless adapter. Speaking of which

AAWireless Two will be coming out soon. Sadly it will still only be Android Auto but there's supposed to be another later that will be both Carplay and AA, the Two +.

Ah, AAWireless brand adapter... got it. I read it as AA wireless in general. What a difference a capital letter and a space make.

Sooooo I may be ditching my Motorola MA1. I've been noticing it's been pretty sluggish lately and everything I've read says they only last about a year before they die. I was reading about a project where you could use just about any raspberry pi to use as an Android Auto bridge. I had a bunch sitting around but specifically I had a Zero W that I haven't used in ages. After flashing the card, editing the config to set my country code and plugging it into my car, pairing the bluetooth between the pi and my phone it just...worked. Also seemed to be a bit more snappy. I haven't really given it a chance to really test it but I'll be doing a decent amount of driving tomorrow. If anyone is interested, here's the link.
