How to enable wireless android auto (NO ADAPTERS, APPS OR ROOT NEEDED)

- Hi, in this video I show you how to enable android auto wirelessly without any apps, root or connections/adapters, your head unit has to support wireless android auto and your phone has to have the ability to project wirelessly, the way to find that out is by becoming an android auto developer user.
This won't be helpful to you if you have a simple head unit that doesn't have wifi hotspot.
Thanks for watching. - Навчання та стиль
This video won't be helpful to you if YOU DON'T HAVE A HEAD UNIT THAT SUPPORTS WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY, of course you can't get the feature without an adapter or a serious modification.
I have apple car play can I install android auto in it?
@@omairalikhan6215 the head unit? Most head units have both but if it doesn’t, I don’t think you can install it.
What's the point of this video then?!
@@flywalll The point of this video is for people who have head units that support wireless but have an older cellphone that isn't running android 10 or 11, depending on your manufactuer/model...
@@apreslin Too bad people are idiots and think that software can fix a lack of proper hardware...
This has been frustrating me for weeks now since updating to android 13. Literally 2 minutes into your video and it's fixed. THANK YOU🙏🙏🙏
Spent HOURS on my dads Galaxy S7 and his new 2022 2500 silverado yesterday trying to get android auto to work wirelessly. Found this GEM of a video. Worked perfect finally got it working!!! Thanks for posting it!!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear, you are welcome.
Thank you so much for mentioning the developer mode. I had reset all Bluetooth connections so many time before finding this video. My phone, Motorola Optimo Maxx which is almost same as G7 power, is now automatically and wirelessly connected to Android auto in my car, Toyota Rav 4 hybrid (2020). Again, thank you so much!
You are very welcome, glad it helped!
We bought a Subaru Crosstrek this week.. my husbands Samsung Galaxy worked right away...my Motorola would not. Had to run back to dealership with USB chord...it worked then would disconnect... ordered new USB chords but then I said let's go to UA-cam...I took this to the car and it worked! Came up right away!! Thank you for the assist! I shared it with the girl at the Subaru dealership!
Awesome! Happy it helped you out!
This is absolutely the only video that solved my problem for connecting. I tried to connect for hours with no success and it was simply enabling the wireless android auto option which was completely hidden from view. Thanks for solving the problem. I saw this video, made that one change and everything worked.
This video was extremely helpful. I was trying for over an hour and this worked instantly.

Verizon didn't know, the guy who sold me the Alpine radio didn't know. I was at my wits end until I found your video. I never comment on videos but I just have to thank you for solving this problem of life. Thanks a million.
My pleasure, thanks for leaving a comment :)
Great video...I had been struggling why the Motorola MA1 was not pairing and showing Android auto on my vehicle screen... The head unit has wired Android auto so ideally it should work wirelessly with the MA1 adapter.... The trick is to enable the wireless option inside Android auto under developers settings... Nowhere else could i find it mentioned... Thank you heaps... It worked only after ib enabled that setting that you mentioned
Thanks for this I was about to buy a new phone as it said on my head unit you need android 11 for wireless and my phone is android 10. Enabled this and it works brilliantly!!
Also have Android 10 on my phone Honor 8x but this tip didn't helped me establish wireless connection with my android radio even though it supports it🙄
Damn, this save my life, I'm using mate 20 pro, it takes me few hours searching for solutions, thanks man🎉🎉
You solved my issue of my phone disconnecting when plugged into my car. Thank you for showing us how's to connect wirelessly.
You are welcome, thanks for leaving a nice comment!
yeah me too its really annoying thats why i didn't use the apps anymore. but now i see this im gonna try it again. anyway thanks for the vid
I don't see add wireless projection to settings under developer settings on my android auto app.
Look for wireless display certification. Some phones word things a little differently but it works the same.
there is no option for wireless display certification as well
I'm having thr same issue
thanks for the help, i was able to connect my android phone wirelessly, initially i was about to buy a wireless carplay dongle.
Thanks for the heads-up on the hidden developer option. Setting that worked perfectly with my moto G7 and 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Hi, I have my Realme 8 updated to Android 12 and since that time it doesn't work wirelessly. This video didn't help. Before update it had worked. Any idea, please?
Awesome sauce!!! Worked with my Samsung S20 just like you demonstrated. Thank you so much!
I dont have "add wireless projection to settings" on my phone as an option... is there another way? I have a Samsung 21.
tnks so much bro! this really worked on my car (CHEVROLET GROOVE 2024) Of course, I had to buy an adapter because the car only works with a wire but with your help I managed to connect the phone to the adapter via wireless and it worked perfectly!
I have a kia sonet GTX+ version that has Android auto wired. Will this work?
This week, my phone no longer connected for incoming or outgoing phone calls but only played streaming apps for music. I'll try these steps and see if it'll work. Curious, is this something new happening with Android phones and Bluetooth connections to cars???
Thanks! It does work great on my S21 Ultra 5G and e class 2013 with an android box
What a super helpful video. You were far more help than the shop who installed the head unit. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment, glad this video helped!
how is this helpful, all he did was say 'enable wireless projection' big deal.

Can I use this to set up my android to 2020 hyundai sonata SEL without usb cable to use waze app
I am extremely glad I came across your video, straight to the point and helpful. 😊 also I had the UA-cam Vanced apk installed but couldn't access it on the car, but with the developer mode it just showed up and I selected it, even tho I closed developer mode the app is still there ❤ I appreciate you for making my car rides filled with ad-free music 😂
I appreciate your comment, thank you and I wish you safe rides!
I like to think of myself as being tech savvy, but I'm not having any luck following your steps to connect wirelessly without a dongle on my 2020 Acura MDX. I wish there was a tutorial specific to this make/model vehicle.
Est ce que je peux partager l'Internet mobile sur l'application Android auto sur la machine sans fils?
Will it still work with the 2021 moto G Stylus 4G LTE? Anybody let me know if it's compatible with my BOSS ELITE double din BE7ACP. Any response would be appreciated. Thank you
How do you add more apps to the android auto? Better off getting a screen share app
What worked for me, was to enter dev-mode, & just "toggle on & off"
Worked after that - wirelessly!
Huawei phone, here.
Do you or anyone know if this works with Samsung S21 as I have treid but cannot get it to work?
Not tried it yet but thanks for the heads up 😃
MY RADIO SSUPPORT APPLE CAR PLAY WIRELESSLY BUT ANDROID AUTO WIRED? SO WILL THIS WORK?
Thanks 👍 I saw it in the app and I thought about it!
So this is to fix an issue with your wireless connection? Not actually getting wireless on any android unit since you said the head unit already has to support it 😂
Well no. I think it's more android connection needs to be wired for android auto
Click bait video.
Apparently you need an aftermarket head unit which has an app so this was stupid af
Can I do this with a 2018 vw tiguan?
Thanks
Mark
Got it to work perfectly with my Huawei P30 Pro, thanks for the video
You are welcome, happy to help :)
how do i wire my 2019 nissan rogue wirelessly
I have factory radio in my chevy colorado and my android auto does not say "add wireless projection"
Why does the usb not charge my galaxy phone. It will start the charge then stop . Any help?
My phone has option to enable wireless android auto
It dosent have the option to add wireless projection to settings on my 2018 kia sorento
I have a Samsung s21 and a 2015 Hyundai sonata and can't find those options in developer mode.
I don't have the Add Wireless Feature box. I have a different wireless box that shows up.
Great job. Thanks a lot. Worked great!
You are welcome, thanks for your comments 🙏🏼
Android 8 support this feature ?
Thank you! I just made these settings on z flip 4.. hopefully it works! I don't have your fancy Boise system tho lol.. just 2021 explorer system!
My pleasure :)Keep us updated.
Solved for Onix Plus 2022 + Moto G7. Thank you!
You are welcome 🙏🏼
Thanks dude, sorted my problem straight away
You are welcome, glad to help :)

Do you need to install android auto on the head unit aswell for it to work I have the Samsung s10 can't get it to work
The head unit should already have it built in.
It worked!! The only helpful video!😁
Works with Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact and Skoda Fabia Navi Amundsen 2022 . Thanks !
My S20 does not have the projection mode/option. Just skips it. Now what?
2021 Bronco Sport. Have everything necessary, tried everything you said, doesn't work. Any ideas?
Depends if your phone is supported, ford’s infotainment system requires most android phone to have android 11 with 5gb internet.
Mine doesn't have the "add" option. Any other ideas?
My pixel 6 doesn't have add wireless connection option
Thnx for helping me to find android auto wirless on my phone
You are welcome my friend :)
that is awesome, and all in less than 4 minutes.
Can Peugeot 3008 years 2020 do this??
I dont have that option on the list of things 2:36
Can't do it on Opel Grandland X 2018 and Xiaomi Note 9 pro.
Guess I have to buy the adapter after all
Not getting the wireless projection setting on my phone. Note 9 running android 10. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hello, sorry my friend, I wish I had the same device, hopefully someone who has one will help.
No such settings mine jumps from share to save nothing inbetween.
I can’t get it to project I did the developers setting, do we gotta be connected to the same Wi-Fi?
Yes, the head unit’s wifi.
I do not see the add wireless protection option while in development mode
press the 3 vertical dots button on the top right corner and then select developer option and enable wireless option
Not on this device, is it because Samsung Galaxy S8 too old...?
I don't see add add developer projector in settings
Didn't work for me or my dad. I have a fold 3 and a 2017 lincoln mkz with android auto and followed the steps and I still have to use the cable. Dad has a 2022 camery and note 10 same issue. I guess we don't have the wireless projector built into out stock radios?
Yeah, both car's stock head units don't support wireless android auto/carplay, you can try using carlinkit, it's an adapter that gives your head unit that ability.
@@randomfixes thanks for the help I appreciate it
Hola amigos por fin encontré solución,!!!!!!
yo tengo Xiaomi 11 T y una Creta 2021
La solución fue que compre un cable original de SAMSUNG PARA conectarlo al carro , borre todos los datos de Android auto Y APAGUE Y PRENDI MI CELULAR Y LO CONECTÉ , y listo después de 6 meses encontre la solución a esta falla
I've done everything but still no luck (I had WiFi unit )
by wireless connectivity do you mean Bluetooth? also do i have to connect my car wifi with phone hotspot? thank you.
Bluetooth and the head unit wifi, without hotspot.
@@randomfixes Is this just Bluetooth pair for music only, or can I actually use the navigation?
@@tupacshakur214 with the head unit in the video you can do both, either music only or music+navigation, phone, texts,SoundCloud app…
Hello i did those steps but still i cant see wirelles option in android auto setting any help?
They probably made an update to remove the feature unfortunately.
Thank you bro 🙏🏾
You are welcome 🙏🏼
So how do u run wifi connection if your on the road and don't have wifi? Do u uses mobile Hotspot to connect to the head unit then? Jw.
The head unit is the hotspot, your phone will connect to it.
hello,I have a RAV4 standard and a poco F4 GT and I do not know if I can connect it wirelessly....I do not even know how to determine if my car can or cannot do such thing..might helping me?
Toyota stock head units do not support wireless connectivity, you’ll need an adapter, I’ll drop a video soon about it.
@@randomfixes thanks bro..earned my sub
@@lazartheodor10 much appreciated 🙏🏼
I have a 22 honda pilot and a Samsung s21 and I cannot connect wirelessly. I've tried everything and it's driving me crazy!!! Help please!
I'm not sure about this but in some hondas the wireless feature is an upgraded option that you have to pay for.
Did not work for my honda civic 2024 / samsung galaxy s21
i do not have add wireless projection to settings.... any other options?
Did you figure it out?
I have to try this. My 2019 mustang won't allow android auto unless I'm connected USB but makes no sense if it's Bluetooth capable
It had to be wifi capable as well.
How do i add android auto TO to the car screen? i have in on my phone, but when i press the app button on my car, i theres no android auto app there
Maybe your head unit doesn't support it, if you physically connect your phone via usb and nothing happens, your head unit most likely don't have the future.
@@randomfixes my android auto works while connected to the car with usb cable. i want to have android auto WIRELESSLY. is that possible at all or no?
@@zoearrow3297 it is possible if the head unit supports it and has wifi connectivity.
Did you need a wifi enabled vehicle to be able to do this? Does your car equipped with wifi?
No, the head unit itself supports wireless connections hence it has wifi built in.
Thank you! Ill give it a try.
I learned today that it only connects wireless if you have iphone. Samsung or any other android wont work. It was a bummer for me !
I can't get my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL work with Samsung Z fold 3. How is everyone making it work but I can't? Help a brother please
I don’t think mitsubishi’s head unit has wifi capabilities, i’ll upload a video later on how to make it work, it requires an adapter though.
@@randomfixes It should have wifi capabilities coz it works with iphone devices(wirelessly). But thanks in advance for the other video you will post later.
As if the fix is this simple...here I was thinking I needed to buy a new phone to replace my Samsung A8 (running android 9) just to get wireless auto. Google scumbag status confirmed! Thanks mate.
U r awesome! Thank U so much!
My pleasure 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Does this help 2019 Honda pilot ?
I don’t think so, the stock head unit isn’t WIFI capable, you are better off with an adapter, I made a video about one.
It didn't work for me
For some reason this won't work on my head unit. I followed your instructions and cannot get my android g power to mirror on my android head unit.
Mirroring is different from Android auto, make sure both devices wifi is on and paired along with Bluetooth.
@@randomfixes Can hotspot be on instead of wifi?
@@honestnewsnet hotspot requires the wifi to be on however, internet access isn't necessary for Android auto to function.
@@randomfixes No I meant hot spot with Mobil data. I run my head unit on my Verizon data via Hotspot. When I turn on hotspot the Wifi goes off.
@@honestnewsnet hotspot isn't required, turn on only wifi and Bluetooth and access the internet from your mobile data.
That option isn't on my list when I bring up developer mode? Galaxy s22 ultra
Huh that's weird. I have the same issue but I thought it's because my phone is too old but that can't be the case
anyone tried this on ford focus 2019?
Well if your vehicle doesn't support wireless Android Auto, then this may not be helpful. Does anyone have comment regarding this?
I did this and yet can't connect my Redmi Note Pro Plus+ 5G (Android 12) on my Uconnect 8.4 (Jeep Compass) wirelessly
Jeep compass doesn’t support wireless android auto.
Do you really need to enable developer mode and change this setting?
One some devices, yes.
Is it mandatory to have a phone with 5Ghz Wifi capability to work wireless Android Auto?
No, it’s not a requirement.
Will the work on the BV800ACP?
Unfortunately no, it’s only wired on that head unit.
You mentioned that the wifi needs to be on. Is a wifi connection needed in the car as well?
Yes, the head unit acts as a hotspot.
Didn't work on my 2021 sienna with s21 ultra , wonder why
The head unit of a 21 sienna doesn’t have wifi hotspot. You need an adapter like carlinkit, I recently made a video about it.
Didn't work for me.
