Hi all!
I looked on the forums here and couldn't find anything about it... have you seen this carlinkit A2A adapter thing? Similar to Motorola MA1?
Seems like similar hardware as the Android headunits but on a dongle and then you connect it through USB and it streams via Android Auto. The usb seems to register that to the Android phones that it is a Android Auto device. the Android Auto UI apparently is stored and sent from the phone its self to the usb dongle and then sent to the android app. the app then sends touch and audio commands back to the usb dongle and then to the phone. I think it's interesting for folks like me with a traditional headunit with Android Auto/CarPlay to have full access to Android.
Does anyone knows about it? I guess we could have the same options as the headunits such as custom firmwares or maybe figuring out what software does that Android Auto integration and use it from an Android phone - getting full Android access...
A link of it from carlinkitofficial store:

Has anybody found out any information where we could maybe flash existing touchscreen headunits to be able to interact with Android Auto?
I have a Pioneer double din touchscreen headunit that has a USB port for data connections. Rather than spending $1,400 on another headunit with useless applications on it just so that I can never use them because I'll be using Android Auto is complete overkill. I'd much rather stick with what I have and flash a firmware onto it so that I can just plug my phone in and have the same user experience and integration that the new headunits are having.
I wish Android Auto development was open and accessible just like everything else Android.
Hello, I have searched the forum for this topic and I have not found anything related. I've been reading you for several weeks and today I decided to register.
A month ago I bought the Sony XAV AX 100 radio and I am delighted with it. But I can't make Android Auto work with bluetooth, without cable. I have a Samsung S8 and, in the Android Auto app I have checked the option to start by bluetooth automatically but it does not start when I connect the phone to the radio. Can anybody help me? I think it is Sony XAV AX 100 problem that should not support android car with bluetooth, only with cable.
Thank you very much and greetings.

That headunit doesn't support Android Auto wireless (which uses Wi-Fi). AA will only work if your phone is connected via USB.
You could connect the phone via Bluetooth only and play music and/or use handsfree telephone. But not AA.
Android Auto, because it uses the GPS, is a battery suck. I'm not saying that's a problem, it's just a fact. You would want to plug your phone into power while using AA anyway.
I use NetDot Gen10 magnetic USB cables, and it makes it more convenient, especially since I use both AA and CarPlay.

That's inaccurate. If the headunit has GPS, Google Maps when running via AA will use that instead of the phone's GPS. I've heard that Google requires AA wireless HUs to have a GPS, but can't point to anything authoritative to back that up. All the units I've seen which support AA wireless (JVC/Kenwood and Pioneer) include GPS receivers.
ive got ford ecosport titanium S edition my headunit is supports android auto as well as carplay and it has got built in wifi reciver through which i update firmware my doubt is that why canit i connet aa wirelessly with my phone ive got iphonee 11 & op7t but i couldnt connet any solution ??? i have seen aa wireless dongle but i would like to know is there any possible solution to connect wirelessly without dongle!
I don't know why they don't offer it but I have many guesses.
Fortunately AAWireless works very well on SYNC. It's just hard to purchase at the moment.

Hi all,
I am currently trying to connect Android Auto (wireless) to my P40 Pro and my car. Google services run on the phone, Android Auto also runs on the smartphone, but I can't get AA to show up on the display in the car. The car can though (Skoda Enyaq iV 80, similar to a VW ID.4).
In AA on the smartphone I can read a note: "Android Auto was not pre-installed on your device..." blah blah. Does anyone have Android Auto on the P40 Pro and can use it with the car's infotainment system? And what do you have to do to do that? Am I missing any specific google service?
Thanks, jennix

This might sound silly but it might work --- try a different USB cable.

Hi svetius, thanks, until now i've tried only wireless Android Auto, because the car has only USB C connectors (the small ones) and i do not own an appropriate cable yet. I ordered one...

hi first you need to connect the phone to the car with the cable once and then it will be normally automatically

Hi, today the cable should be delivered. I'll try then and we'll see...
Yesterday i tried to connect the phone via cable to the Infotainment System to use Android Auto. This works, but only if the phone is not connected to the Infotainment System in parallel via Bluetooth.
Wireless Android Auto still doesn't work at all with this phone and this Infotainment System, even if it was previously connected via cable.

So you say that android auto it's not compatible with p40 pro gms sideloaded?
At least it seems so. I have an older Xiaomi Pocofone F1 with LineageOS 18.1 and gApps. This phone works with AA Wireless, but it can not charge wirelessly (which the car can because a Qi charging cradle with antenna amplifier is built in). Therefore, I would already like to use the Huawei, because that is my everyday phone.

I have the same issue! And all the trouble is caused by the phone!
P40 doesn't know to move to his mobile data when the connection is made so is not providing internet.
What about the internet connection of the phone? Android Auto connects via wifi and not via wifi hotspot of the phone. So how does the internet work? Usually the phone tries to use the internet connection of the wifi when it is connected to a wifi. In this case the headunit provides wifi but no internet. Will the internet connection work anyway? How?
My car multimedia device has no wireless AA. Only using cable I can run AA. I ordered this device to use it for wireless AA. I will let you know if it works when it will arrive (few days).

Whoops ! I finally manage to connect my Huawei P40 Pro wirelessly with Android Auto on my Skoda Kodiaq My 2021.
First the car multimedia has to support AA wireless, in my case , yes.
For almost 4 months i have used AA connecting the phone with the usb cable because a small error wich i didnt realise for all this time !
After initially connect the phone thru usb you can go ahead and do it wireless and when you get the message on the phone : this Skoda not have internet connection, you want to connect ? - Choose CANCEL , and thats is. On my case , choosing CONNECT was wrong and took all tis time to understand and to look for a fix !!! Practic you need to have phone wifi on but not connected to a car network.
I have to mention : my P40 pro have Google Services
I tried using the Ottocast Android Auto adapter and it was good but I needed a device that supports both Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I then tried using the Carlinkit CP2A and it totally sucks! It's super laggy and the resolution was too high for the HU of my 2018 Subaru XV. Any ideas?
Anybody please?!
I use this one https://motorolasound.com/audio-products/android-auto/ma1
Nvm, didnt see you needed both carplay/android auto
Maybe you can wait for AAWireless team. They are trying to CP as an (free) OTA update for the gen2 (rv1109 SoC) based devices.
