I am not sure if this is the right forum or should be in the motors ... anyway my question is can I contacted my phone to WiFi in my car its already contacted via Bluetooth with a USB cable but I want to connect using wireless to my head unit in the car I hope I am making sense thanks
 
You're not making much sense.

Do you mean can you connect your phone to your car via Wi-Fi if its already connected via bluetooth?

What car, what phone and what are you trying to achieve?
 
sorry ok my Samsung galaxy A34 5G is connected to my ford fiesta via Bluetooth and I can use my phone with the head unit sync 3 but when I use android auto's you have to use a USB cable from the phone to the usb socket in the car but android auto's can be contacted by wireless so I don't have to use the the usb cable I hope this helps you to answer my question thanks

Wireless Android Auto is an upgraded feature that is fairly new and has to be supported by the headunit. You can buy boxes online that allow you to use Wireless Car Play/Android Auto but I can't comment on their abilities with SYNC3... sorry
 
Hyburnate thank you I really appreciate you telling me about AA wireless I have found it on the internet but haven't add time to digest it yet but one quick question where does the wireless come from I have it at home and you have to put a password in only once so is it on my phone I do hope I'm making sense
 
Your phone can provide a wireless signal for your car to connect to. Tbh I've never looked if wireless android auto is WiFi or Bluetooth.

It has the wireless built into the little box, you pair it to your phone and you plug the little box into the car, and then when the car turns on it turns the little box on and your phone pairs to it. It'll still use your data from your phone for Google Maps etc :)

Power has to come from somewhere. Wireless charging isn’t “wireless charging” without plugging it in somewhere.

Unless it’s a portable wireless charging power bank.
 
Hi guys I thought I would post here instead of starting a new post I would be ever so grateful if you could point me in the direction of a forum to use for android auto's app
my problem is google assistant has stopped working on my samsumg A34 5G and in my car thought android auto's it was working 4 days ago when I last used the car
when I looked at the settings in the car the icon for voice control was blank out before it stopped working I use the button on the steering wheel and that is not working as well
also when I say hey google command on my phone there no response I have reinstalled google assistant and android auto's several times but nothing helps I even deleted and then reconnected the phone via Bluetooth to the car sorry if I've not explain myself very well but if you could help or point me in the direction of a forum I would be very grateful thank you very much ps I did try to upload a image of my car head unit dut could do it
