https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aawi ... /3680012#/ You have to have something like this. Most headunits wont support wireless android auto. And in order for that device to work, your current headunit must already support wired android auto. Otherwise it doesn't work.

Ilkka, do you happen to know whether Android 8 will do for the AAWireless dongle. On the website it says Android 9 required, I have a Samsung with Android 8... maybe...???
Otherwise I need to buy a new smartphone!
Thanks

I don't know. I'm on android 10 myself, waiting for oneplus to fix bugs in their android 11 update before I move to that. I would guess it's worth trying first.

I can't even install the AAWireless Android app on my android 8.0 oreo Samsung smartphone, so this means I need a new one. Rooting an Android phone to install Android 9 (if it is not officially supported) is no longer easy because many financial apps afterwards refuse to run on rooted phones! So Samsung S21 fe it will be.

Welcome to this forum.

Wireless AA isn't supported.



Samsung are offering £250 off an S21 at present so I'm pondering - currently on S8 and Android 9

Even the 2022 Qashqai doesn't have wireless AA!



Advanced Connectivity

Stay in touch even if you lose the cables. Qashqai reduces the clutter with wireless Apple CarPlay, while wireless charging is perfect for your compatible smartphone. And with in-vehicle Wi-Fi that can handle multiple devices, everyone can stay connected easily.

gloucester, true. But AAWireless gives you that wireless option if you want to have it, for a small price. I'm still waiting for my unit to arrive, should be few months because of the delays they have in the project.

Indeed ilkka, but you also need a compatible android phone!
I too ordered and have to wait till October, and even then...
Waiting to see whether it will work.
I just read that even the luxury 2022 Lexus 350/450 NX will only have *wired* Apple Carplay and Android Auto!
Strange, because IMHO this may be the utmost important feature of any car infotainment system... in 2021 any luxury vehicle should have wireless carplay, android auto and smartphone mirroring.
I don't know why the new Nissan qashqai 2021 does not have it standard either as this is (for many people I guess) a serious argument to buy a certain new car model or not !?
