Once the LED light begins flashing blue, then, on your phone, navigate again to the system settings for Bluetooth, and scan for new Bluetooth devices; MA1 will appear in the list as AndroidAuto-XXXX. He’s usually found trying to squeeze another giant Lego set onto the shelf, draining very large cups of coffee, or complaining about how terrible his Smart TV is. It's not a perfect transition, mind you, and I'll get to that, but general usability left a lot to like. The Motorola MA1 is a simple product with a single purpose, and that's to let you use Android Auto wirelessly.

As expected, supplies did not last long, with the MA1 dongle selling out at Target within 5 minutes. It's the reason for the square Type B connector, you are not allowed to daisy chain from a device with that connector it must be the last device in the chain. But consider having your device "forget" the legacy bluetooth connection to the car stereo as that may interfere with each other. I'm pretty sure I read that the US Tucson has wireless AA, I'm not sure about the screen size, I just assumed it would be on the 10. Motorola admits that it can take a few minutes to initialize the very first time, but future connections will happen much faster.The MA1 uses a mix of Bluetooth and 5GHz Wi-Fi to connect to your phone, the same protocols as any other built-in wireless Android Auto setup. Users therefore enjoy an original equipment (OEM)-like user experience that improves over time as Google continues to enhance Android Auto. Once I have the MA1 I'll come back with info on performance and Battery drain, although I expect all the devices will be much the same. As I frequently have problems connecting Android Auto with cable (keeps cutting out and in when first plugged in) I'm wondering about one of the wireless dongles on market.

That way you can use Android Auto wirelessly, without having to plug in your phone every time you leave the house.

It is also very easy to set up the MA1: plug the adapter into your car’s Android Auto-enabled USB port and then pair the device to your phone via Bluetooth.
