Android Auto Wireless Dongle..

[topend77]

I'm hoping someone could tell me. I'm looking for an Android Auto wireless dongle that also has either a USB Port or a memory card slot to insert flash drive/memory card with music on it.

I drive a 2018 Pacifics and there's only one USB port that goes through the entertainment system, so
right now i's either charge my phone/wired Android Auto or use the flash drive with music.

Thanks,
Tim

A small USB hub should work to give you more ports.

In my Mini Cooper, I have this specific USB hub to do exactly that.

I have tried multiple USB hubs where I inserted a flash drive and hardwired phone and none worked. When I tapped on Media, the music on the flash drive didn't show up and it didn't recognize the phone and open Android Auto.

I've never seen one like that before with individual power buttons on each port. That should work, like you said, but are you able to use the wireless Android Auto/iOS dongle at the same time as the media device? Which wireless iOS/Android Auto dongle are you using?

I'm assuming when one is powered on the other has to be powered off, so I won't be able to play the music (on the flash drive) in the background while using Android Auto- Google Maps or whatever. I'll have to choose one or the other. I'll get one and try it. Even if it works like I'm thinking and they don't work at the same time, it's better than having to unplug/plug things to get them to work.

I was looking at those AI boxes (https://a.co/d/5e8TjBH) that has Netflix, YouTube and wireless Android Auto because it also has a memory card slot to play media. But I was hesitant because many of the reviews said they are a rip-off, don't work, and are (possibly) a ploy to steal personal data. If I was able to find one from an American Company I would try it, but it seems all of them have brand names that are foreign, Chinese.

Not droid/iOS wireless, but I CAN charge the phone while also playing music from a USB flash drive.

No.
1, 2, 3, or all 4 at once.

Okay, thanks! 👍
