In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

If they do not make any updates to the head units used in the K5, maybe the 8 inch screen with wireless carplay will eventually come to the 2022 Telluride. But so far they haven’t been selling any models with the 10.25 inch screen that supports wireless carplay.

There are discussions in the K5 forums about iOS 14 making iPhones unusable with wireless carplay, and not even having the option to plug into USB for wired Apple carplay. So it isn’t a terrible thing the Telluride is still shipping without wireless carplay support.

I just returned from a vacation. It was in the Hyundai rental car that I used the Apple CarPlay wirelessly. My phone has the latest updates. It worked wonderfully. The car might as well have had a Kia logo on it.

Can we even imagine the brand management battles they must have at Kiaundai? Based on your experience, they have the wireless functionality for CarPlay, and by extension for Android Auto. Unfortunately, that doesn't make it any clearer when and how it might come to the Tellyverse.

Just drove a Kia K5 LXS, which is a pretty low trim. The wireless android auto was spectacular. It is going to make my Telluride feel pretty dated in 3-4 years when it's universal on newer vehicles. Also, the K5 was super comfortable and drove surprisingly well.

I rented a K5 this summer. I found it comfortable and enjoyable to drive as well. It has 290 horses -- same as the Telluride -- but about 1000 lbs lighter. A nice power-to-weight ratio.

What this means is that Android Auto is soon to be exclusive to in vehicle displays, which is exactly the mode we use with the Telly display & integration.

Google are depreciating support for Android Auto on smartphone screens. This has been coming for some time. No impact for Telly owners using Android Auto.

I do think deprecating the phone view is the right direction. But I would wager there will be some users asking why their phone is not displaying info once the updates go through.
 
has anyone else bought the carlinkit 3.0 from amazon?...can you tell me what ports are on your device?...we have bought 2 of these from the same link and both were different...first one was returned due to it disconnecting while driving...

first one: 1 usb-C port on the device (with a usb-C to usb-A cable)
second one: 1 usb-C port on one end and 1 usb-A port on the other end of the device (with a usb-C to usb-A cable)

...not even sure what the other port is for

Wow, I'm surprised that Kia isn't putting wireless Android Auto on the Tellurides. Do you think this will arrive in 2023, 24, 25??? I might hold out for a 23 based on that feature alone.
 
I recently received an AAwireless device, and it is awesome. it connects to an android phone via wifi, and the phone has a bluetooth connection with the vehicle. It allows wireless android auto. The AAwireless device is very small. I have it connected to the telluride via a long USB cable, which allows me to keep the device out of the way, under the drivers seat.
 
Is anybody using the AAwireless with a Google Pixel 5 phone? Just wondering how that works.

Also, does the AAwireless work moving between vehicles? Wondering if I can take it on vacation to use in a rental car.

I am envious. Like everyone else, AAWireless says they are encountering production delays due to chip shortages. I backed them on Indiegogo, but I think I’m number 8 million on the list :-(

Just got android auto wireless today. Seems like it stays on even after the car is off and parked in the garage.

Is there a way to fix that?

You can unplug it. 😉

Seriously, though, I wouldn’t be too concerned… I have had my CarPlay2Air adapter connected continuously since I got it in January 2020 and have had no issues with my car’s battery.

My AA Wireless also arrived today… I’m interested to try it out and see how well it performs.

So... Got my AAWireless device a few weeks ago and have been using it regularly.

At a high level, it works with my Telluride SX. However, there are some problems.

The #1 problem is that the Telluride keeps the USB port powered for a while after the engine is shut off, and even after the doors are locked. I think it's about 10 minutes, but haven't measured. This means that the AAWireless Wi-Fi network (hotspot) stays on for that period of time. When I park my car in the garage and go into my home, my phone stays connected to the AAWireless Wi-Fi instead of connecting to my home network, and therefore it uses the mobile network for data, all until the car timeouts the USB power. It also keeps Android Auto running on the phone, which means some phone functionality is disabled (Google maps, in particular).
What's more, the AAWireless app seems to force-reconnect to the AAWireless Wi-Fi network even if I try to select the home network in teh phone's Wi-Fi settings.
The same of course can happen in other places where you want to use the Wi-Fi network and your car is nearby.
This is a nuisance but not a deal breaker for me.
The AAWireless device does have a "Start / Stop" feature, which can start and stop Android Auto on your phone based on connection to the car's Bluetooth. This would be great if it worked properly, but in my case it does not: When I enable it, wireless Android Audio occasionally does not start, or in some cases starts and then stops/disconnects. The feature seems to be highly dependent on the car's Bluetooth, and so I would love to hear if other Telluride owners have managed to get this working properly. I've also opened a ticket with AAWirelesss support.

Another problem is occasional audio glitches (seems like lost packets), as well as an occasional disconnect that requires rebooting the device.

If you're willing to live with the above, this is not a bad product for an Indiegogo project.

What phone are you using? I think it's helpful to know that since the experience may vary.
