Wireless Android Auto adaptor (for Leon's with full link)

[leonlad]

No idea what colour the USB is, but it's the original MIB1 glovebox USB port so I'm 99.9% sure it doesn't support Apple Carplay (given all the forum posts on the issue and requirement to change the USB port when going to MIB2 head units - something I ignored being on Android platform which works fine wired).

I am surprised even android auto worked with that if its the original ami port with a usb female dongle.

You need the harness and the new plug.

Yes it's the original MIB1 USB port with the right-angle USB dongle. There's no need to change it for (wired) Android Auto - works fine.

Interesting...I haven't sent mine back yet, I'll give that a try and see what happens!

Edit: No dice thanks for the suggestion though. I removed the bluetooth profile on my phone and from the car just to be sure but still getting the same.

What year is your car?

I will be sending this back in the next few days and I've ordered an AAwireless device which I've heard good things about...its just 4 times the price. Hopefully that works but if not another return process and I'll stick with it being wired

Oh, man, that sucks! Hopefully, the other one you've ordered works a treat!

My car is 2019.

So recieved my AAWireless device today.

Plugged in, updated the device via the app and everything kicked in and worked as expected! Result! albeit a more pricey one but sometimes that just the way things go.

Here is the product for anyone who may need it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B71XC7VG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Working on a 2015 (65 plate) Cupra 280 with Mib2 (I think but don't quote me!) with s/w v0253 & single USB + Aux fitted in cubby of central console infront of gear stick.

Now I need to figure out a nice method of adding wireless charging. Tempted to try using a USB splitter but aprehensive as to not pull too much current through a single port so may just use the 12v under the armrest with a usb adapter and 3D printed wireless charging mount in the cupholder but may just stick with a wired backup should I need it.

Thanks for any input/advice in the thread.

Selling my AA Wireless dongle if anyone is interested! Now exclusively iPhone using the car so retired it in favour of a pure CarPlay dongle

Selling my AAWireless android auto adapter - the best box for adding wireless android auto; regular firmware updates, active development etc and has always worked flawlessly for me I’ve migrated to iPhone so picked up a dedicated CarPlay dongle instead £50 posted (Royal Mail recorded)

Here's the end result for the wireless charger.

Although its not perfect, I'm pretty happy with it. It should be capable of 15w fast charging but my phone only supports 10w iirc but it fast charges my S10.

Some links for bought parts and attached images + STL file if anyone wants to print one.

12v USB adapter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XM7YGQ5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

You would also need a usb cable and then cut and splice it to feed it through the case to the charger.It's a clean way to get the cable the correct length but I think I'd find another solution if I needed to reprint it but the STL file is there should you want to do that.

I used heat set inserts and screws to connect the two printed parts but you could glue it instead I imagine.
