We’re living in a digital world without cables but there some places where a cable is still required – in our cars to connect our smartphones to Android Auto and CarPlay.
If this describes you and you have an Android smartphone then you can kiss the cable goodbye with the new AAWireless TWO dongle which wirelessly bridges the gap between your device and your car.
You can get rid of the cable and the clutter that goes with it.
Many reading this can relate to the hassle of have to use a cable with their device every time they get in their car.
Their vehicle doesn’t have the capability of wirelessly connecting to run Android Auto.
But now with the AAWireless TWO you can.
It comes with a short USB-A to USB-C cable to connect the dongle (which has a USB-C port) to your car with the USB-A end.
If your car also has a UBS-C port it will be BYO USB-C to USB-C cable to get you started.
Once connected it’s quite easy to set up.
The first thing you’ll see is the ring on the AAWireless TWO light up.
Now head to the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone and the device should appear on your list of devices available pairing.
You will also be asked for permission to access your contacts and messages.
Now to be clear the AAWireless TWO will offer wireless Android Auto if your vehicle already offers it.
This device WON’T suddenly add Android Auto to your vehicle if it wasn’t previously available.
The benefit of adding AAWireless TWO is to get rid of that pesky cable.
And even though you are accessing Android Auto wirelessly it will still operate in the same way through the screen in your vehicle and access all the same messaging, music and mapping apps.
There is a companion app for AAWireless TWO which allows users to pair multiple phones and switch between them – you might share a vehicle and this makes it easy connect your phone when you’re driving.
The app is also where you can update the dongle’s firmware.
AAWireless TWO will only pair with Android devices – we tried to link an iPhone but it wouldn’t show up in the list of Bluetooth devices.
So if you have an iPhone and want to connect wirelessly to CarPlay, the AAWireless TWO is not for you.
But if you’re rocking an Android smartphone and you want to banish the cable the AAWireless TWO is right up your alley.
It is available now purchase through Amazon and is priced at $124.99.
