Review: A Game-Changer for Wired Android Auto Users – Seamless & Reliable! - If your car, like mine, only supports wired Android Auto but you dream of the freedom of wireless, the Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Car Adapter is an absolute must-have. I used to keep my phone in a holder on the mirror side, and the thought of running wires under the steering wheel just wasn't appealing. This little device has been the perfect solution. I used some command strips to discreetly attach it to the underside of the storage area where my car's USB port is located. It's completely hidden from view, and the storage compartment remains fully usable. Honestly, you'd never even know I have it in the car – which is exactly what I wanted. The convenience this adapter offers is truly remarkable. Being able to just turn on the car and have my Spotify music start playing and Waze maps pop up after just a few seconds is incredible. By the time I've reversed off the driveway, everything is ready to go, and I haven't even had to take my phone out of my pocket. It completely streamlines the whole driving experience. Beyond the convenience, the reliability of the Motorola MA1 has been absolutely flawless. I've never experienced a single cut-out, connection issue, or glitch. Even on long 5+ hour drives, it performs perfectly the entire way. I can confidently say this is the best thing I've bought for my car. It's a major upgrade to the overall convenience, and since it's always on and connected whenever I'm in the car, it's getting 100% of its intended usage. If you're on the fence about going wireless for Android Auto, jump on this – you won't regret it!
Review: Honest review, genuine purchase - Update: still working perfectly, nearly a year after purchase. Have used it on two Euro trips one of which was 15 hrs on the road. For my car it sits in the centre console to plug into the usb port, it is well ventilated. I purchased to use in a 2018 Ford Focus ST, running Sync 3.5. For some reason hardly anyone leaving a review for Motor products actually provide the car model and age. I found that with music streaming and using maps navigation with the phone plugged in to my cars USB port, the minimal charge provided by the cars port. My phone would barley increase its charge level, even a four and a half hour drive with a start charge of 54%, the phone only reached 100% ten minutes. So I decided to find a way to use Android Auto wirelessly. After researching, I found a number of devices available on desertcart varying in price. I was drawn to the Motorola MA1, because of the self learning element built in to the device. Apparently it can over time optimise everything depending upon your usage and used preferences. I am only a week in to using it. The set up was really easy (if stuck just type in Motorola MA1 set up in to YOUTUBE), I just plugged it in, opened connected devices on my phone and asked it to look for new devices. It appeared within a second, after clicking to connect and allow permissions and connect automatically, it was done. Around 10 seconds later my car showed the Android auto option and it was fully up and running. It connects automatically a few seconds after my car screen has initialised, about 8 seconds from opening the drivers door (it has become a lot faster than the first few time I used it, so I take it the self learning thing works). I have had no drop outs. Admittedly I have not bee on any long journeys since purchase and I have not tried to stream video on the car screen via the YOUTUBE app. I have had music streaming from most of my music apps whilst using a navigation app. My only grip and it is not really with the Motorola MA1, it is actually with Google and desertcart. If you use the car screen to open the desertcart music app and play your library playlists for some reason not all of my downloaded to my phone playlists show on the library list displayed by the car and then when you select a play list it does not show all the downloaded to my phone tracks and plays them in shuffle mode. I have tried every setting, I have contacted Google and desertcart, both of whom blames the other for this widely know common issue. Which occurs whether you connect via a cable or wirelessly.

### ⭐ Malfunctioning after one year
*by P***O on 31 May 2024*

** Edit after one year of owning exactly No longer works. Tried reset etc but no longer connects to anything and does not function. Product outside of return window and no support given from motorola or Amazon ** Seamlessly gives wireless android auto. Starts up with the car USB port no problem to boot up (had to test if the usb deactivated with ignition off and thankfully it does after 60 seconds so I can leave the unit plugged in permanently in hidden usb under armrest). By the time the doors are unlocked, in the car, seatbelt on the unit is ready and showing on the car infotainment. Best bit is - after initial set up, via bluetooth, it uses Wi-Fi so my phone stays connected to the car phone and all other Bluetooth functions. Can seamlessly swap between radio, Bluetooth calls/texts/music or android auto maps/music/calls if needed. The cable is a little short and non removable but no consequence for me since its stashed away. Not tried or tested multiple devices but I'm sure it would be easy enough to switch between them with the button on the unit.
