I do that for her when we're both in the car before she powers on the radio. I'll just bump mine off if she's driving, then after she's all connected, push it back on so my smartwatch can reconnect to my phone. It usually works, but sometimes it glitches out anyways.
I'm going to look into getting the aawireless unit. I looked at some information about it and it looks like the phone connects to that and not the car, which should solve the problem, since only one thing will be taking to the car itself at any time. The unit itself was built to be used with multiple phones, and you can set one as primary so if multiple are present it will prefer the primary over all others.
Seems perfect. I am going to curb my enthusiasm since something that's perfect on paper, rarely is when you use it. But for the cost, even just having Android auto available wirelessly will be a guaranteed agreement from her. Simply, she was less than impressed when she found out she has to plug in her phone each time she gets into the car, for Android auto to work.... So as long as it doesn't do any worse than the car does with a wire, this will get a big thumbs up from her. If the other stuff works, so much the better.
My current problem is that the unit only seems to be available through Amazon, and only via the UK and US versions of the store. I'm in Canada.... I can order from Amazon US and they will ship to Canada, but it's going to be extra for that. At the end of the day it will likely cost around $100 USD to get it. Even at that price, it's worth it for us.
Thanks for the tip on this, I appreciate it.
No stress, glad I pointed you down a hopefully workable path. Good luck mate ๐ And yes the US tax. Purchased mine from Amazon US, I'm down in Australia. Even with the higher cost it has been an absolute joy even with my single-phone use case.
I saw some reviews that say the audio skips every 10-15 minutes. My partner is also concerned about audio fidelity. Can you make any comments that may satisfy her concerns?
Never had any issues with the unit. As mentioned I have an old 4x4 with an aftermarket head unit (Sony XAV-AX5000) and have never experienced any audio issues. This car is our family "adventure vehicle" so we use it for long road trips and camping adventures - in short when it gets driven it's often for a longer multi-hour journey, with music playing the whole way
Thank you very much! Have a good day.
