Is there any way of obtaining a wireless connection to android auto in a 2022 Qashqai Tekna+?
Would prefer my phone in it's air vent holder when connected to android auto but do not want a long trailing cable as well.

I haven’t read much about wireless Android Auto but I’m an Apple fan, so won’t have paid full attention. I know my partner’s Android Auto only works when she uses a cable in the USB-C port.
However, and only out of interest/nosiness, if you can connect wirelessly why would you need/want to have your phone in a holder ?

AFAIK not even the latest Nissan 12.3" infotainment system of the latest J12 version, nor the newest e-power QQs work Wirelessly with Android Auto (only Apple Carplay).

However ... I have my QQ J12 Tekna+ with Wireless Android Auto working perfectly since Februari.

- What you (may) need for this :

-1- AAWireless dongle - indiegogo perk - 85 USD :


-2- Android 9+ phone (Samsung phones tend work "out of the box")
I use the Samsung S22 Ultra (comes with Android 12)

-3- GSM hard case (max 167mm) that still fits in the Nissan Qashqai Wireless 15W Charging pad of the Tekn(+) :
! the case must be Wireless Charging compatible working for 15W charging!

-4- Install the AAWireless Android App from Google Play Store and update the dongle to the latest Firmware (may be optional?)

-5- Android Auto App were you set the App to 'Wireless Android Auto'

! Android Auto immediately started working Wirelessly without changing other settings.

-6- Attached: pictures of my setup.

Good Luck !

@tonygold.
Once you have AA Wireless (AAWireless dongle...) + 15W Wireless charging pad ... you will never ever want to plug in your phone again !

Hello.

where do you plug the AAwireless dongle, does it go into the armrest compartment.

can you use a USB splitter to use a usb stick with music and use the AAwireless dongle.

Dear Tony,
I have brand new Nissan Qashqai e-Power Tekna + but I am not able even to enable Android auto due to fact the system refuse to enable messaging telling me that it cant be done in drive (car was stopped in park mode of course). So in order to get wireless option first I have to enable Android Auto and I am not able to do so - do you have any suggestion how to overcome such situation?
Mobile phone is Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with latest Android 12 installed.
Many thanks in advance.
