Our Favorite Way To Add Wireless Android Auto To Your Car Gets Its First Big Discount
Motorola MA1
If you crave the convenience of wireless Android Auto in your car, the Motorola MA1 is the way to go. Now that the dongle is finally at its first discounted price ($20 off to $70), it’s easy to buy.
The incredibly popular Motorola MA1 has been around for a while, but it hasn’t seen a big discount until now. The Motorola MA1 Android Auto Wireless Car Adapter starts at $90 MSRP and starts at just $70. It’s $20 in your pocket that you can use for other things. Oh, you also have an MA1 that’s actually saying something.
During our testing, we found the Motorola MA1 to be a reliable helper in the car, pairing easily with the phones we tested. I didn’t see any lag when streaming content from my phone to my car’s display. This makes sense considering what you can do with a 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection. I did experience some hiccups, but I believe it’s a normal Android Auto issue that occurs even when the phone is connected to the car with a cable.
The Motorola MA1 is all about the convenience of not having to reconnect your phone to your car. Keep it in your pocket or bag and go wherever you want. One less step while driving. This is essential especially if you are in a hurry. Plus, you can store your dongle anywhere there’s a USB port, keeping your car clutter-free. The only downside we found is that it drains your phone’s battery much faster. But that shouldn’t stop you from saying goodbye to annoying cables when using gearshifts .
The Motorola MA1 has spent most of the past year as a hot commodity retailers are constantly running out of stock. And the list price is $90. It’s great that the Motorola MA1 is available at Best Buy and Amazon for a discounted price of $70. Buying a Motorola Android Auto dongle from Best Buy gives you the added benefit of a 3-month Google One trial with 100 GB of storage space at your disposal.
