navigating to a fresh destination using Google, Waze, or Apple Maps. The initial iterations of both services necessitated a wired USB connection between your Android device or iPhone, but over the past ten years, numerous car manufacturers have transitioned to wireless Android Auto and CarPlay functionality.
But what steps should you take if you possess an older vehicle that only supports wired connections for one or both of the car infotainment systems? It’s straightforward: install a wired-to-wireless adapter in your automobile or truck. There are wireless Android Auto adapters and wireless Apple CarPlay adapters, many designed for easy plug-and-play setup. Even more advantageous than a basic adapter is the capability to utilize a single wireless adapter to toggle between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay with just one button press.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give a round of applause for the unique AAWireless TWO+. Equipped with a single USB-C to USB-A cable, the TWO+ employs Bluetooth to link with an unlimited array of phones from both the Android and iOS ecosystems.
With dimensions of 2.1 inches in width and 1.38 inches in height, the TWO+ is engineered for seamless connectivity. Upon starting the vehicle, the adapter will automatically connect to the last-used smartphone, along with that device’s corresponding infotainment platform. Now, suppose you’re with someone who uses a different smartphone brand than yours: all you need to do is press the multifunction button on the TWO+ adapter to pair a new device. If the second phone is already paired, the TWO+ should switch over seamlessly.
Bear in mind that this means the vehicle you are driving must have native support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
