    Using 2 phones was a deal killer

    We have 2 GM vehicles with wireless Android Auto which work great; multiple phones, no issues except for an occasional cutting out so I thought I’d try this for our RAM truck. Works great, albeit slow, but for 1 phone. When you introduce another, it isn’t so easy and ultimately, just plugging in the USB cable not only provided a quicker connection, but also charges which is also important. The RAM’s inductive charger is not very convenient so ultimately, it went back as the extra $80 wasn’t worth the aggravation.

    Excellent Performance – minor quirks

    I installed this in a 2023 Subaru Forester Limited because the wired Android Auto kept dropping off. This works very well! It takes a few seconds to pair with your phone, and then you are good to go. Full Android Auto functionality. It seldom skips or has interference, and it is 100% better than the Subaru wired experience. Just a couple of observations: -The screen response does lag but it is almost not noticeable, you get used to the very slight delay. You only notice it when typing an address into navigation (I usually use voice but sometimes if stopped I type). -We paired 2 phones, and you have to make sure that Bluetooth and WiFi are off on the phone you don’t want paired. Otherwise there can be a conflict and it seems like neither phone works, or it pairs with the wrong one (and your significant other looks at you like you don’t know what you’re doing). -It occasionally did not pair, so we held down the pair/reset button, reset the device, and it was fine. -When you charge, remember to NOT plug it in to the USB receptacles that transfer data, or you’ll create a conflict with the car’s system.

    Was nice while it lasted

    This product was great until it wasn’t. I had the same issue that a lot of people seem to be having. Right outside the warranty, it starts getting super hot and begins disconnecting every two to three minutes. I’ve been through the endless loop of trying to reset it, restart it, reconnect to it, and the best I can get is 3 minutes and it’s almost hot enough to burn you. I won’t be buying another one because at $100, I expect to get more then 14 months of use.

    Going wireless was easy and convenient

    After forgetting my phone in the truck too many times because it was plugged in to use Android Auto I decided to go wireless with an MA1. The set-up was quick and easy, only a couple of minutes and I was good to go. Re-connecting each time I start my truck is relatively fast, only a few seconds longer than when connected via USB. There are a few minor drawbacks to going wireless. I occasionally lose connection when passing weather stations which mess up the signal for 5-10 seconds because they send out a signal of their own, boot time is just slightly slower than wired, and Android Auto uses quite a bit of power so longer trips will still require you to plug your phone in somewhere to keep from using too much battery. My estimate is that I use 10-15% of my charge per hour when not plugged in. When I compare the gains in the convenience of not having to take my phone out and plug it in each time I get into and out of my truck, as compared to the minor drawbacks the MA1 is a clear winner for me.

    Super convenient

    This connects automatically after doing the intial Bluetooth hook-up. Very convenient to have Android Auto wireless for those quick trips where you don’t want to take your phone out of pocket and mess with wires. Does seem to drain the battery just a little more than usual. I’m using this device with a Galaxy Z Fold4 on a 2023 Honda Ridgeline. Would definitely buy again.

    I use this in my Rav4 to connect my Android to my car (Android Auto app) as soon as I’m in the car, so now I don’t have to physically connect my phone to a cord in my car. Works exactly as intended! The only thing I lose is that my phone no longer charges while in the car since I don’t actually plug it in.

    Really happy I purchased this

    I purchased a used 2020 Acura RDX with Android Auto Play, but I had to use a cable to connect my phone to the car. I did this for about 2 months, and finally decided to spend the money and purchase this adapter. Money well spent! Now when I get into the car my Pixel 6Pro connects within seconds and Auto Play is up and running without the cable etc. Now keep in mind this does not charge your phone, it only connects your phone to the car. I’ve been nothing but pleased with this purchase, works really well.

    A swing and a miss – this is a HARD NO!

    At nearly a hundred bucks, this is a purely lazy avoidance thing. I am too lazy to dig out the USB cord to connect my phone to my Infotainment in my truck. The concept here fits that exactly. The problem is the execution is not even close. First the connection is extremely finicky – it would connect about 50% of the time. When it didn’t you have to futz with the Bluetooth connection turning it off and on again, then force reconnect to the device – back and forth until the device to allow you to reconnect. Strike one. Next, in my truck and I know many other vehicles are like this: the USB port stays powered on for a period of time after the vehicle is turned off. This is so your phone (which the vehicle thinks is connected to the USB port) can continue to charge. My truck keeps the port turned on for two hours – so during that time, phone keeps attempting to connect to the Android Auto device which BTW operates under WIFI, not Bluetooth.. Very frustrating and thus quickly drains battery because even though the Android Auto device advertises the AA service, the infotainment system in the vehicle is turned off. Strike Two. The final strike is one that is really the nail in the coffin because it is a two-part failure. 1) the device gets extremely hot. Like really hot, such that you can’t really hold it. After six months – the device just fails. I suspect the Wi-Fi radio burned out because the unit powers up but the Wi-Fi signal is not advertised and no matter what, you can’t connect. So here is 2) the warranty support is an absolute joke. When the unit failed, I called technical support and explained how the device was behaving. They advised me that the unit failed and would need to be replaced. They took my information and said a unit would be shipped to me in about 10 days. Here I wait THREE WEEKS LATER – no replacement. Contacting support advised they had no tracking yet and that “I would just need to be patient.” Well, I was patient enough to write this review to hopefully save someone else from this grief. Uh yeah, strike three! Do not think that because it has Motorola in the name it is a quality product. Given the number of reviews that describe this exact experience I had – I assure you – this unit is absolutely a HARD PASS. Save yourself the trouble, find a different product.

    Gets disconnected sporadically

    I used it reliably for a week or so, then it would disconnect at least once per trip. I have a new 2023 car and new 2023 phone… so I blame the device. I got a different one from another brand and that one does not disconnect .

    Lasted while it did

    For it being what it is, it was nice while it lasted. But while I only had it for 8 months it constantly disconnected and reconnected. Yesterday, I was driving and it randomly disconnected and will not reconnect or recognize that it’s plugged in now. There seems to be a red light “of death” that keeps popping up also and it won’t do anything past that. Guess I’ll get a new one since I’m not dealing with a cord

    They WILL die with the “loop”

    Not if, but when. I have had 4 total now. Original, next was warranty replacement after 6 months. Six months later, it died. Got new one, “under warranty” , 2 months later it died. These are POS and are not designed to withstand the heat. I opened one to see if they used a low temp solder and it could be repaired. Could not see any damage, so I’m guessing they just can’t handle the temps inside the care and the chipset frys itself. They connect easy and are super simple to get working, but not worth the cost.

    2 dead in a year

    I bought 2 of these at the same time, one for me and one for my partner. His died just barely out of warranty so I got a different brand that’s been working fine for him so far. Mine just died yesterday so I’ll be replacing it with the same model I got for him. For a ~$100.00 device I find this reliability unacceptable and I would definitely not buy the MA-1 again. For what it’s worth the MA-1 was usable enough (it connected automatically almost 100% of the time) while it lasted. I will note that another advantage of the replacement brand I bought is that that one connects in about half the time the MA-1 did— maybe 15 seconds after turning the car on vs 30 seconds or so for the MA-1. Trivial maybe, but still nice to have a faster connection.

    It is small to the point I can’t even have a picture of it but it’s so awesome but

    It’s pretty simple. You connect with Bluetooth and that’s it. It has 2 caveats that made me give it 3 stars even if I love it. It’s expensive for it’s size. A phone maybe 1200$ but that does many things like take picture and what not. This one literally only is a wireless adapter. The second is that I have to turn off VPN. That is either they want to stalk me or it’s genuine con. Outta Bluetooth why in the world do they need me not using a VPN. Great product but the price doesn’t kind of justify it and it’s just a niche with that said.

    Absolutely 💯 Game changer

    I’ve been going for a few years using a USB to work with my Mazda. Always having to unplug when getting out of the car. Eventually. I think because of that, it wouldn’t keep it connection. I’d be using the GPS and the slightest movement like going over a “speed bump” at 10mph it was loss connection. Never felt I could rely on it unless my passenger was there to try to reconnect it. Now!! Wow. I’m driving around in unfamiliar places with so much confidence and feel safe. Highly recommended!!

    Long term review (10mo) device failed.

    Long term review: Used with my 2022 Mazda CX-30 + Pixel 5a. Initial set-up was easy and I had no problems getting it connected initially. Worked OK for about 10 months, disconnected semi-frequently while driving, device eventually stopped working while driving and gave me an unrecognized USB device error on the infotainment display. Device will not factory reset, it only goes to solid red light. Motorola does not provide a utility to reflash firmware which may be all it needs. Not interested in having it replaced I am changing out to a different brand.

It worked fine at first for a few months but now it disconnects frequently. Sometimes 3-4 time within a 5 to 10 minute span. This is very annoying especially when following driving directions or while on a call. Not to mention how annoying it is when listening to music. You can’t even touch it without it disconnecting.
