AAWireless Two Plus If your car only allows wired connections when using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, the AAWireless TWO Plus solves that problem. It works with Android phones and iPhones and will work in most cars. It does exactly what it says it will do 100% of the time and is priced well to boot.

Back in 2024, I reviewed the AAWireless TWO ($54.99 at Amazon), an inexpensive dongle that can turn any wired Android Auto head unit into a wireless one. At the time, I was blown away by how simple, practical, and efficient it was. Now, in 2025, the company is launching an iterative upgrade known as the AAWireless TWO Plus.

Based on the name, you might think this is just a basic refresh with maybe a smaller size or a new minor feature. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Plus model does everything the original TWO did, yes, but brings in a new capability that makes it pretty much indispensable for anyone: Apple CarPlay support. Finally, multi-OS families won’t need two different dongles or need to fight over whether Android or iOS gets preferential treatment in the car. Now, everyone can live in harmony.

OK, the AAWireless TWO Plus isn’t going to bring about world peace, but it is going to solve a lot of problems. Let me explain!

Everything I loved about the AAWireless TWO

I highly recommend reading my AAWireless TWO review if this is the first time you’ve heard about this device. However, I’ll do my best to summarize things here anyway.

I loved the AAWireless TWO, and the TWO Plus is even better.

If you have a car that supports Android Auto but requires that you plug your phone in to use it, the AAWireless TWO negates that limitation. By plugging the AAWireless dongle into your car’s USB port, you can finally go completely wireless. Once you go through the very easy setup procedure of connecting your phone to the dongle (that doesn’t even require you to create an account!), you can simply step into your car, turn the ignition, and in a few seconds, Android Auto is on your dash. No fussing with cables, no clutter in your central console — just a simple, seamless connection. Since the dongle has no battery and stays plugged into the USB port 24/7, it’s a truly set it and forget it product.

One of the big benefits of the AAWireless TWO is that it supports multiple Android phones and can even create a logic tree for connectivity. For example, both my partner and I are connected to the dongle. When she’s alone in the car, she automatically connects to it, and when I’m alone, I auto-connect as well. When we’re both in the car, I am almost always driving, so the dongle prioritizes me in that scenario. I don’t need to touch anything on the dongle or even open an app on my phone. It all just works.
