Wireless Android Auto for Older Head Units

[P22Tyler]

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find it. But it looks like we may finally have an option for wireless android auto, it may be a little while still but at least something is in the works.

AAWireless adapter that brings wireless to any Android Auto unit blows through crowdfunding goal

The Indiegogo campaign for AAWireless just started

KIA ENiro and Hyundai Palisade are on the list of fully working so hopefully this will work for the Stinger too.
Nice find!

Great find! I just ordered one. Or more precisely, I contributed to the Indiegogo hopingt he perk actually ships at some point.

This is cool. I'd buy a few if this existed.

Bumping an old thread but do we know if Kia can just solve this via a firmware update?

 

[Kodiack]

I'm pretty sure the new KIA lineup with wireless AA is based on the same hardware we have in the stinger.
I dont think it would be an issue. I have left feedback requesting it every time I do the update and it asks for future upgrade suggestions.
Lets hope it happens!

FYI: Turns out the REAL price is $85 with shipping.

I ordered one as well. The current shipping estimate for the first batch in the USA is sometime in March.

I have not received them yet. I expect the first one in March and the second in June. I will be testing it in our Forester Sport.

Definitely interested in both your thoughts when you get them. Wish we could upgrade the headunits in our cars to aftermarket but since we can't this is really the only option.

I've got one ordered. Hopefully it works for us.

Been following AAWireless for a few months now, never pulled the trigger. Although I'm confident they will deliver their promises, and the product will work well for most people, without a guarantee of product the cost for entry was just too high for the little bit of benefit the device will provide. Most of what I need is done fine through Bluetooth. I rarely need navigation maps, which is all I can think I'm 'missing' right now, and for those rare cases I plug in the usb cable.

Hoping for their success and maybe I'll snag one in 2022 after the hype dies down a bit and production turnaround times are more consistent. There's a sizeable market for wireless android auto for older android auto compatible head units. The fact they recognized this and went ahead with developing something is to be applauded.
