Android Auto for the new Z -- wireless or wired?

[csb5150]

I have seen conflicting reports -- I know there is Android Auto "compatibility" but is it wireless or not? I don't really care if it is a wired connection (especially if it charges during the wired connection). The Supra does not have Android Auto and none of the Porsche models have Android Auto.

Android Auto is wired. Apple Carplay is wireless. I tried briefly to get both working (I have a Pixel, wife has an iPhone) but had to quit before I could finish. Won't get back to the car until June.

I use a wireless adapter called "aa wireless" from Amazon. Actually, have 3 for our wired AA vehicles. The adapters work very well, both with OEM AA in my wife's Toyota, and aftermarket AA from Pioneer and Sony.

The Android Auto is wired. The location of the USB port on the center console makes it unobtrusive to use. I like the Nissan bluetooth interface as well.

I bought an Ottocast U2-x Pro for the Z and it works great for wireless apple carplay. Does android auto also.

Been using Android Auto (wired) without issues for the past few days. I like it! Just plug in the phone and hit a button on the cars display, and yes it keep the phone charged too.

Struggling to get Apple CarPlay to be wireless. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong. How did you get it to connect? For some reason my performance Z only allows wired Apple CarPlay

Have not really tried. My wife has an iPhone, but I've got a Pixel and since I'm the primary driver, we have not bothered to try. On the Z, its so convenient to just connect with a short cable that I don't see much value in trying to set up the wireless Apple CarPlay.

For me, connecting the iPhone wirelessly was pretty seamless and now it auto-connects to CarPlay when I start the car with the iPhone in my pocket...I don't have to do anything.

Thank you!!! That’s all the reassurance I need. I’ll try to figure this one out , it shouldn’t be too difficult now knowing it’s possible and available
