Wireless bluetooth adapter for navigator

[nic1402]

Hello

I have a 2018 outlander PHEV
every time I want to use the navigator, I connect my android mobile with a cable to the USB port of the car.
Is there a way to make this connection wireless with an adapter? If yes would you recommend one?

Thanks a lot
Nic

I assume you're thinking of Android Auto wireless?

In which case I believe that links over WiFi and the units in the outlander don't have that support in the model years available in the UK AFAIK. Certainly the 2018-19 2.4L with SDA doesn't as my daughter has to connect the USB cable. I also do in mine but I've a different Mitsu head unit (ex L200/Mirage I think) in my 2019 model.

Actually I was thinking of an actual piece of hardware like a micro usb we use to connect a mouse to a PC but I guess a little more sophisticated.

I use an ottocast wireless adapter that remains plugged into the usb port and the phone connects via bluetooth when in proximity. the wireless unit requires a reboot occasionally to force the phone connection. make sure you purchase the model reviewed as suitable for your type of phone. https://www.ottocast.com/products/u2-air

I use the https://www.amazon.com/CarlinKit-Wireless-Android-Connection-Smartphone/dp/B0BDRSC88C however cannot recommend it. It does the job but loses connection now and then, and it is type C with a very tight receptacle, not compatible with multiple cables I tried.

These are the type of things I am looking for, thanks for your help.
I purchased this one from Amazon and if it does not work I will buy a different one until I find one that works well, Amazon is fast and free to return.
