    So I just bought a 2020 with the new android auto and I'm in the market for a new phone. From what I can tell, only certain phones and certain head units are actually capable of wireless android auto and I currently don't have a phone capable of this.

    Before I spend a bunch of money on a capable phone, can anyone confirm that the new head units are actually capable of wireless android auto?

    I was more concerned about the capability of the 2020 stock headunit, which judging by your reddit post is NOT capable of wireless AA.

    Bummer!

    Thanks for the reply tho and for the effort you put into that reddit post. Very good information to have.

    Curious, could you use a wifi usb adapter to connect to android instead of a cable, anyone tried that?
