First, it's unreliable. AA is infamous for being picky about cables, having to unplug phones and plug them back in. Stuff like that. I was getting tired of that game. Second, and the biggest one: the charging speed from the car is comically bad. Like, seriously? USB-A, STILL, when USB-C was offered in the latest cars? Switch to a better cigarette-based USB-C charger (like this one) and use AA wirelessly. It'll charge FAR faster, and you'll be way happier.

The Camaro charges at 1200 mA or less. Usb-C charges at almost twice that. I use the Ampere app. So yeah I feel ya, anything but C feels like a waste of time. So yeah, based on you and another poster I'll go wireless and pick up the dongle. Can't hurt I suppose. |

Also, there's a possibility that you may need to reset the Infotainment and start fresh if something got corrupted during a prior software update. Quote:

I have no problem here with Android Auto. I use a cigarette lighter adapter with a USB-C connection. I'm a little disappointed that the car doesn't offer fast charging as most other cars I've had in the past 3 years have had fast charging. The only annoyance is having WiFi turned on every time I get into the car. If the car doesn't charge the phone fast enough, I say you might as well get a cigarette lighter adapter and use the wireless AA.

The AAWireless device mentioned earlier in this thread works great for the person that commented about it. I know someone that could not get it to work on their new Samsung in their Silverado no matter what they did. They ended up giving it away to a relative. I've read some similar-ish comments pertaining to the Motorola device as well. |

For 4 years AA has worked flawlessly for me in both this and my other vehicle thats only a year old. For me, AA has not been what I've heard many others complain about. Hence why I'm so baffled by it. It's just been downright a great app/interface for me. |

AAWireless and Carsifi are available via indiegogo and Motorola is available commercially. The high price point you're seeing is almost certainly from third-party sellers as the original price was supposed to be like $100. |

"Go into the Infotainment and find the various build dates for the different installed pieces of software. Post that up here and we can see how that compares against the software in other cars. Which radio code is your Infotainment system?
Also, there's a possibility that you may need to reset the Infotainment and start fresh if something got corrupted during a prior software update." I'll grab those software dates uno momento.... |

I have AAWireless, and there's no way anyone could tell it is an indiegogo campaign output and not a commercial product. From packaging through documentation to app quality and updates, to support and to the product itself of course, everything is absolutely top notch. Best $55 I've spent on car electronics.
EDIT: just look at these numbers, this guy (along with his team) is not a flyby warrior. Tens of thousands of units have been shipped already.

Plus, at that price, you could two AAWireless or Carsifi adapters. |
