Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

With this, I now have the power of wireless Android Auto in the car :cool:

This one is from AVIN USA, the maker of my stereo, it's the AutoPlay dongle but the new revision which they don't have on the website yet, the old one on the website for ref: https://avinusa.com/autoplay-usb-adapter-w-support-for-wireless-c-play-and-a-auto.html

If your car already came with wired Android Auto via the car's OEM stereo and you just want to expand it to be wireless, then this is a solution for you instead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/CarlinKit-Wireless-Android-Connection-Smartphone/dp/B0BF4MV1HV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3G0W3H99ZLJ9L&keywords=wireless+android+auto+dong;e&qid=1671451317&sprefix=wireless+android+auto+dong+e,aps,76&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

I've got one of the CarlinKit units. It works fine most of the time, but sometimes it has a horrible lag on it which makes it useless for navigation as it's about 10seconds behind where you actually are!
 
Does it vary from car to car though? I know that not all OEM car stereos are built with the same specs, so buffer issues or cache/memory can become a problem if it gets too bogged down?

Maybe, I should be able to try it on a different car from next week.

The AAWireless one is supposed to be very good and they have a very active XDA forum thread

If your running a MIUI os though dont bother with android auto wireless as theres been a bug in the os that miui havent fixed for over 12 months that makes
the connection from the phone to cars headunit drop when the mobile signal switches between 4g/3g/5g etc.

Isn't that just for Android Auto though, not CarPlay?

I use an AAWireless dongle that I backed a few years ago. It works flawlessly now, and they've been really good with updates and such, at least from what I've followed.
