    Mods? We don't need no stinking mods.
    Has anyone found a wireless dongle to plug into the USB port to make the wired Android Auto (2021 Tacoma) wireless? I bought an inexpensive one on Amazon and it only stays connected for 30 seconds or so at a time. So it's going back.

    Wondering if anyone else has gone this route and found success with a specific brand.

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    I've been using this one for a few years, at least for me it's been pretty good. I bought from Amazon, but it looks like they don't carry it anymore:

    I used the Motorola one for awhile, and it stopped working after about 10 months. It was replaced under warranty, but I ended up switching to the AA Wireless 2. I have not had any issues with that at all...so far(got it last November)

    Yes, I haven't had any issue with it. Had it for about 8 months now.
