Glad I gave up on the sim in my car, google maps on the mmi never seemed as up to date as google maps on my phone so still use my phone for navigation
For those that use Android Auto, etc... I find plugging in my phone a PITA. Anyone using another phone for this, thinking of getting a cheapo phone just for this

Search Aliexpress for JoyeAuto wireless CarPlay and you should find a wireless to usb dongle, prices from £69 onwards. You would be looking for the all black one which looks like a mouse. While they are not 100% perfect many of my customers seem to like them.For those that use Android Auto, etc... I find plugging in my phone a PITA.

The black and silver dongle looks to be for android operating system based head units. You need the dongle which is all black, example:I’ve just looked on the JoyeAuto website and there are two dongles. I have a 2016 facelift A7 with MMI+ so do I need the android auto version?

Unfortunately I’m having trouble with this - nothing happens when I plug it into the car USB port...

Assume you've paired it?
My understanding is that the dongle allows you to bypass the need to physically connect your phone via a cable. Does CarPlay work with a cable?
No, my 2016 A7 doesn’t have CarPlay, I was actually trying to add that to the car, not just go from wired to wireless.

That's the problem then, the dongle, AFAIK, replaces the physical USB cable and removes the need to plug the phone in every time you use the car.
