Any Recommendations for Android Auto Bluetooth Adapter?

[Dave R.]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bluetooth Android Auto adapter for use in a C-HR?

I have a 2022 C-HR GR Sport which supports Android Auto via a cable connection. I'd like to purchase a bluetooth adapter so that I don't have to keep plugging the phone in.  I've tried the Motorola MA1 bluetooth adapter, but it expects the phone to connect to the car's bluetooth phone connection, before then firing up Android Auto.  Unfortunately, the C-HR "remembers" how my phone was last connected (i.e. Android Auto) and so won't make the bluetooth phone connection unless I go into settings and tell it explicitly to connect the phone via Blutetooth rather than Android Auto - at which point the adapter is happy to fire up its Android Auto connection via cable, and make the bluetooth connection to my phone.  Needless to say, I don't want to have to do this every time I get int the car.  Fortunately the adapter works brilliantly in my wife's new Fiat, so it wasn't a waste of money!.

So -before I waste £50 or so finding out that another brand of adapter has the same issue, does anyone have any good experience with a bluetooth to cable android auto adapter?   My goal is for my phone to automatically connect via bluetooth to an adapter which will then connect via cable to the car.  As my wife also sometimes uses my car, it must also be able to support multiple phones (though, obviously, only one connected at a time)

Carlinkkit 2air v5. 
took it from my prius into a rental chr and it worked without any extra configuration.

same when i moved it to a rental xc90

so it works across vehicle manufacturers

I use an AA Wireless dongle.

Once it's configured on both the AA Wireless smart phone app & your Android Auto settings in your phone it works perfectly. 

Mines set to automatically start Android Auto but it also connects my phone automatically for my driver profile via recognising my Android phone.
