Car owners with integrated Android Auto may relate to this story: you've got your brand-new car, you've paid good money to endow it with the latest Android Auto tech (arguably the best smart car system in the world), and yet you've got this unsightly 3ft black cable permanently dangling around between the seats, which you need to use to connect your ph😼one to your Android Auto system each time. 

In a world that's embraced wirelessness in all areas, it feels dissonant to rely on old-fashioned tech like cables to use new tech like Android Auto, so the clever tea🐷m at Motorola Sound ওhave created the Motorola MA1 Android Auto Adapter to fix that.

This small rounded square puck, little larger than a milk cap, plugs into the USB port of your 🗹car, connects to Android Auto, then bridges the signal to your phone wirelessly. Yes, the MA1 adapter finally makes Android Auto work as it should, and is the only device that uses Google-licensed technology to do so (along with utilising a combination of Bluetooth and 5GHz Wi-Fi Direct). Whether you're in a car, truck, or motorcycle, if you have factory-fitted Android Auto in your ride, the MA1 will turn it wireless.

It's so easy to set up too. You do✃n't need to download any third-party apps, nor do any fiddling on your phone or Android Auto system. Simply plug the MA1 in, give it a few mo🅰ments to initialise the first time, then it will appear as a connectable Bluetooth device on your phone. After that, just leave the MA1 permanently plugged into your car, and as soon as you get in the car with your phone, you can jump straight to saying 'Hey, Google' without the dreary routine of navigating your way along a cable to find the connecting end.
