Another great video! I was really hoping Hyundai would get their shit together with this. I may just end up getting one of those. I do have a long cable just to plug it in but reaching down is a pain when it falls between the seats. I'll be surely looking to get one of these soon. My luck they'll have a solution and I'll be out some cash lol. Congrats on the subs and views. Keep it up!

Thanks for the useful video. I was looking at the Genesis GV60 and even that doesn't have Wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

congratulations on your KZread Stats

Congrats on the subscribers! Yeah, it's crazy to me that SO many cars don't have wireless AA/ACP and it has nothing to do with the class or cost. My understanding is that it always has to do with how the car uses WiFi for other things since those use WiFi for the high speed wireless data connection. Which would be a legitimate excuse 5 years ago when it was new - but the fact that they haven't figured out a solution yet... Probably because they are instead spending all their resources developing their own stupid mapping systems, none of which are as good as Google Maps or Apple Maps. Car companies can be very slow to catch up with what people actually want sometimes...

I use the AAwireless dongle. Works great once you get it setup correctly. Connects quickly in just a few seconds after starting the car maybe 5-10 seconds. The ionic 5 has an always on USB port in the front which ever so slightly complicates the setup process as without the correct toggles your phone will try to reconnect once you leave the vehicle.

Thank you for your videos.

Would love it if you took a look at the "android auto ai" boxes that allow you do wireless Android auto and carplay as well as allow Android apps such as Netflix or KZread. Would be nice while charging.

I’ve been using the Carlinkit 3 with my iPhone 13 pro max and it’s been great. Having it already plugged in when you first start up the car makes it feel like it connects faster. There is a web interface that allows you to make adjustments when you phone is connected to it. Pretty cool.

Any issues with phone calls and delay? I’ve seen this mentioned elsewhere but not specifically with the Ioniq/Hyundai

The Carlinkit interface when you first plug it in can be annoying, but it's great when you share the car. That way when my GF or I start the car, we just select who's phone it connects to without having to tweak anything on the phone itself.

Thank you for this video. Does your adapter still try to connect with your phone after you turn the car off? My USB port seems to always be on. Thanks!

Maybe I'm just missing it, but towards the end of the video, you mentioned there are apps that let you run KZread and other such apps on the car screen, and that you would share a few in the description. Has it been shared already?

I started on the Kona EV with wired CarPlay, moved to the ID.4 with wireless CarPlay and thought I was in heaven. But then I realised that when doing a long journey the wireless charging pad couldn’t keep up with playing music, navigation etc and I was ending my journey with 40% on my phone. When I upgraded to the Ioniq 5 I decided that it wasn’t really an issue any longer. I just wish the car play port had been one in the center console not all the way at the front

Great. Another video showcasing the Motorola dongle that isn't available anywhere outside the US.

Bought the ma1 from Motorola, the thing you never mentioned is the the wireless adapter for android auto, stays on even when your vehicle is off, and continues to search for your device. Is there any way to shut off the power to the USB port when the vehicle is off? Cuz right now, I have to pull out the wireless adapter when I get out of the vehicle, & plug it back in when I get in the vehicle. When I'm home my phone isn't much more than 15' from the vehicle

What makes the lack of wireless extra dumb is if you want to use AA and use your phone as the digital key, you have to have it plugged in and sitting on the wireless charger. Since that is where the NFC reader is.

Ha!

I’ve read that because the car has blue link, the onboard system can only handle one or the other. Blue link vs wireless car play. Sounds like an engineering issue that should be an easy fix with additional chips/transmitters. Honestly not sure if this is true, but food for thought. Also NFC key for apple car key. That should be easy to support, but it doesn’t… yet

My brother gave me a Carlink dongle and it worked pretty well but failed to connect now and again. So I tried the Ottocast as I thought it might work better and people reviewing it claimed it connected really fast. I haven't found it to be that much better than the Carlink. It fails to connect every once in a while, but in my 2021 RAV4 Prime it's super easy to unplug and plug back in and it almost always works if I do that. The lack of wireless carplay in my car is disappointing, but not out of keeping with the outdated feel of the Toyota infotainment system. Toyota was really phoning it in. Pun intended? I don't know.

At best of my knowledge, the problem with the AA or ACP is the Bluelink app. Hyundai app have some nasty incompatibility with both system on the wireless side… security tokens doesn’t have the right certificate hence the wireless connection doesn’t work. That’s why on Konas or i20, which don’t use bluelink app, the ACP or AA work flawlessly. The manufacturers, Apple and Google, have to share some keys to Hyundai so it can authenticate the wireless connection within the Bluelink app. Until then, wired usb or third party devices are the only way use AA or ACP on the Ioniq 5.

Thank you for that info.

@@mme4tpc4 FWIW I just picked up AAWireless and it's worked pretty well so far in my Ioniq 5 -- you could give it a try if available. It also has an Auto-off option which kills power to the device if your phone's Bluetooth connection to the car fails (which happens when you turn the car off), the MA1 doesn't have anything like that.

I know you also have a Kona and my wife and I have a new Tucson with wireless Android auto built in and a new Ioniq 5 using the MA1. Is there a way to set them up to get both of our Androids to connect to each car depending on who drives each one without having to plug them in each time? Seems like it isn't smart enough to switch them back and forth as we need them. I tried separate profiles for each of us in each car but that didn't seem to work.

I used a Car2Play Wireless adapter which seems to operate the same as the Motorola but was available right away. Works great. Does occasionally drop the connection in weird spots which is annoying. My understanding was that wireless CarPlay and Android Auto was missing due to the chip shortage and that they had to use a lower end chip which can't handle it. As a result, it's unlikely it will come as a software update since it's a hardware limitation.

I also experience this with plugged in CarPlay…

I’ve used multiple Carlinkit adapters before for wireless carplay and while I always like them a lot at first, they always get sold. The problem is not connectivity speed (although it’s very annoying considering how fast the wired connection is), the problem is LATENCY. I make a lot of phone calls in the car and the latency introduced by the wireless adapter is maddening. It makes phonecalls incredibly frustrating, like a bad web conference call where people are constantly talking over each other. Until that’s solved, it’s tough to recommend these unless you never use the phone.

Why are you getting so stressed over this - just plug your phone in.......not a big issue - unlike the lack of the rear wiper, lack of auto opening door handles (in the UK), and lack of four wheel steering on a vehicle with a 3 metre wheelbase!

Thanks for another great and helpful video! I've been thinking of buying a wireless adapter as well and this video helps me. I ordered the Ioniq 5 in the Ultimate trim, however have cancelled my order because Hyundai can't deliver any here in Canada (it's a 2-3 year wait now). Instead I got a different EV - here's my story: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZOpuZl_c8W2qNo.html

I can't fathom why a hi-tech car does not have Android Auto or Apple Carplay.

DISAPPOINTED ! I got the Carlinkit 3 for my Ioniq 5 and my iPhone 13 as I saw here it worked. I find it to be a waste of money ! There is so much delay between with Apple Car Play (iphone running Waze) and the Ioniq display it's pathetic ! I've missed turns and exits because of it. It can lag behind up to 400 meters (quarter of a mile)... (you ar at the end of the exit ramp and it's still on the freeway... SAD) I have updated the unit, no improvement, I've changed the 'delay time' to 300 instead of the original 1000 ms, no improvement, I can not find a decent online manual that explains all the parameters one sees on the phone (when connected to the IP address) Also the speed indicator from Waze is lagging behind so badly. (you speed up to 65 and for several seconds it's still showing 30) None of this occurs when using Apple car play & Waze over a usb cable (and everything works fast and crisp) so... SAVE YOUR MONEY is my advice... (if anyone in Europe still wants one, mine is for sale after a week of use)

I don't understand this video. Here in Spain, the specs of the Ioniq 5 on the Hyundai web site DO in fact include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Here is a copy and paste from the pdf file: "Y como a bordo llevas también Apple CarPlay™ y Android Auto™, puedes enchufar el smartphone y replicar tus aplicaciones y tu música en la enorme pantalla de infoentretemiento." I won't bother you all with the translation, but essentially what is says is that because both CarPlay and Android Auto come installed, you can plug in and replicate all your applications and music directly to the huge infotainment screen. So what gives?🤷‍♂ Edit: This information was pulled from p.21 of their 52 page pdf.
