Default Android Auto disconnects finally solved

I have a '23 street glide and have always had android auto just abruptly and randomly constantly disconnecting, USB failure out of no where, etc.... I have tried every possible setting, cables, searching the forums, etc.... nothing worked. Finally saw a thread that going wireless solved all of that. So, jumped on amazon and bought one. And, yes, finally. My android auto is completely solid. I just throw my phone in a saddle bag and it all just automatically starts and actually stays on for the entire ride now. I have had ZERO disconnects. Anyways, this post is just for those who have the same issue and haven't tried a wireless usb dongle. The one I bought on amazon is below. Same size as a thumb drive and just stays plugged in inside the glove box. Problem solved, thank goodness. I am so happy with this, just had to share in case others are in the same boat.
later.

Might look at this for my truck. Plugging into truck USB is flaky. I though maybe loose jack, just gave up.

A link instead of picture would be better.

That looks great and cheaper than the Motorola MA1. I have the MA1 already and it works well too.

I've been using the Motorola MA-1 as well for a couple years now with no issues , actually the Motorola is much less now.

I purchased two of those, one from my car and one fom my street glide. They are more stable than any Wireless dongle I've had in the past which includes the Motorola ma1 and the Ottocast.... I have posted about that particular one and recommended it a few times here

I have been running AA Wireless Dongle for over a year now with excellent results. Got it on Amazon.

I move it from my RG to my SGS as needed. Super easy plug and play and it pairs with my cell phone almost instantly.

Highly recommended and this allows me to keep the phone on the handle bars, in my pocket or anywhere you wish.

I gave up on the MA1 when it finally wouldn't connect at all and ran a USB cable back to the tour pak. Maybe I'll have to try this one.

Don't throw the MA1 away - hold the button down and reset it.
