    Steps to take: 0. Before doing anything, make sure Wireless AA is enabled. Go to Android phone settings|Apps|Android Auto and verify Wireless AA is enabled under AA configuration options. I am using Galaxy S24 Ultra but any other Android phone should work. 1. Plugin your dongle to either USB-A...

    No additional software or tweak is needed. I just followed the setup instructions that came with the dongle albeit I had to repeat them twice before seeing things working. I'll send steps and pictures below.

    Based on some readings, I have to make a correction to my post. That is to say not all dongles are created equal. There are some that rely on the phone's GPS instead of their built-in GPS. The 2 dongles discussed above appear to use the phone GPS instead of their own when operating AA and Car Play.

    Yes, I agree. It appears that Lucid AA release will function similar to Car Play and it will cut out a rectangle on the cockpit LCD leaving parts of it unused. And it will not allow for extending to the pilot screen. I hear from Lucid Studio reps here in OC CA that running multiple apps on...

    I come from Maserati and Porsche and I've been hooked hot and heavy to AA for few years. But those cars support AA/Car Play natively while using standard rectangular LCD screens. As for the apps, most obvious important apps are maps/navigation, live calls and messaging including those on...

    I was able to get the third model on my list above to work. At a promotional discount of 40% from the list price of $69, it was a much lower cost and functional alternative than the 3.0 CarlinKit Ai Box. As for the dongle itself, the initial setup was quick, the LCD scaling is proper and...

    Has any one been able to get AA working with proper screen scaling using a car play dongle OTHER THAN CarLinkit AI Box? In particular, any of the following 3 dongles...

    Not quite. First connect Carlinkit dongle thru USB-A or USB-C and let it start operating. Then, pair your phone with the Bluetooth device advertised by the Carlinkit dongle. In my case, the device name started with Lucid_ and eneded with xyz where xyz was not matching the native device name...

    Thank you for posting, I appreciate it. I see the same issue as what I observed with native Car Play, i.e., the used area is limited to a rectangle within the cockpit LCD leaving the precious right area and the top area (not as much) unused. This is in contrast with the built-in map app. I read...

    Do you mind posting pictures of Google Maps, your music player, and App list on Cockpit screen? Thank you.

    You are using a different model than what I was using. How does yours scale the LCD cockpit? The same problem I had or it scales full screen with no problems. If so, do you mind dropping in a pointer to the device or its manufacturer and model number? THanks.

    Yes. The car only has one USB-A port, and the device I was using connected thru USB-A port.

    There's only one USB port in the car, at the far end center of center console closer to the center glove box. The dongle has a short USB cable and thus will have to sit inside the center console close to the USB port. Once plugged, follow the Bluetooth connectivity instructions that come with...

    It is AA on my Android phone connecting wirelessly to the Car Play dongle, but the dongle itself is connected to the car thru the USB port. The map screenshot is showing google maps.

    By way of introduction

    Proud new owner of Air Touring wants to say hi! I test drove Lucid Air back in '22 and was seriously contemplating its acquisition but did not go for it because I was concerned about initial release issues. Fast forward 3 years and I took delivery of my Air Touring from Lucid showroom in...

    Hi all. I got AA working using the dongle below that I ordered from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9ZH8BS9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 I did not like the fact that it was not scaling on cockpit LCD, so I let it go. Tried Car Play and saw that was cutting the side of...

    Navigating the Unexpected: A Two-Week Journey with My New GT and a Flat Tire

    I usually order Lexanis directly from Amazon or eBay reputable sellers. Right now, Amazon deals on Lexani 245/40ZR20 are better than great. I have a local tire shop that charges me $25 a tire for balance and replacement, albeit you can order mobile service from Amazon for the same price.
