Are you still satisfied with your Android Auto wireless adapter?

Wireless Android Auto adapters have become popular over the last few years, but some users seem to be having problems with them as they get older. Are you still happy with yours?

The idea behind the Android Auto wireless adapter is quite simple. By connecting your device to a USB port in your car, your wired Android Auto connection can be turned into a wireless one. The idea was first introduced on the AAWireless platform and then extended to devices such as Carsifi and Motorola MA1.

However, according to some users, these devices don’t seem to age particularly well.

In a Reddit thread this week, a number of long-time Motorola MA1 owners stated that their devices are not aging well, claiming that the devices wear out after about a year of use. Others, however, claim that the device still works flawlessly. Really, it’s all just very inconsistent. Some users report that their devices work as well as the day they were purchased, while others experience regular problems. Several also noted that random Android Auto updates seem to cause issues with the MA1, which we suggested in our review, as the device is unable to get firmware updates to fix any compatibility issues. An increasing number of Motorola MA1 reviews on Amazon are coming from buyers who are experiencing problems right after the warranty ends, or even before in some cases.

I have personally used many Android Auto adapters, but what stuck with my car was AAWireless. I recently got a new device to better test newer software versions, but the previous one was still working fine after over a year of regular use.

But what about you? Are you still satisfied with your Android Auto wireless adapter? Has this caused you any problems? Are there any new features you would like to have? Let’s discuss!

It’s worth noting that these devices have gotten cheaper over time, which is nice for those who haven’t jumped on board. The price of the AAWireless has now dropped to $75, the Motorola MA1 is currently $70, and both devices are regularly on sale.
