Wireless Android Auto is a version of Android Auto that connects your phone to your car’s head unit via Wi-Fi. You don’t need to plug in a USB cable every time you get into your car. Once you complete the initial setup, Android Auto automatically connects your phone to your vehicle’s infotainment screen each time you start the car.
