For one, AAWireless has launched the much-anticipated successor to the wireless Android Auto adapter, named the . While it's designed the same as the previous model, meaning it's still a plug-and-play affair, you can now use the device to run Apple's CarPlay operating system wirelessly. So, instead of having to wire your iPhone to an older vehicle to run the iOS-based platform, you can simply pair it to the dongle.
If your car supports Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, that will continue. Both will remain available in all GM gas-powered vehicles for the foreseeable future. As we advance toward our centralized computing platform, we'll gradually move to a better, more deeply integrated experience - a direction the broader industry is taking as vehicles become more software-defined. This will happen over time, not overnight. We value our collaboration with Apple and Google and remain focused on delivering experiences customers love.
The AAWireless Two adapter costs $65 (though it's currently on sale for $52 during Amazon Prime Day ), which is actually cheaper than its predecessor and competing accessories. How it works is fairly straightforward: You download and open the AAWireless companion app (should you want to make any modifications or update the software), plug the adapter into your car via USB-A, long-press its multifunctional button to initiate pairing mode, and then connect to it on your phone screen.
