Hi All

I have a new 5008 with integrated WiFi etc, I also have a compatible Google pixel phone which should allow for Android Auto to work wirelessly, the problem is I can't get this to work. It works fine when connected to USB cable but I can't for the life of me figure out how it should work wirelessly, I've tried connecting my car to my phone's hotspot etc but the Peugeot manual is useless and doesn't cover this, does anyone have any steps I should follow to get my car and phone to work as it should and can?

As far as I know you can only connect Andriod Auto via a USB cable. WiFi is only good for connecting to the Peugeot app or the mapping services. I'll stand being corrected though.

Yes, you're right. Google Android Auto or Apple CarPlay always needs the USB cable. It doesn't matter the phone's version or maker.

The car doesn't support the wireless versions of AA or CP and we must assume it never will - this infotainment system (NAC Wave 2) is outdated and the latest versions of this hardware (Wave 4) doesn't support it either.

For CP there's an USB dongle (CarPlay2Air/Car2Play) that might work.

I spell it as: S T U P I D
Somehow they managed to design a car, which none of their employees understand or can repair. I just did my 3rd service yesterday, it is unbelievable how much do they NOT know about the car. I love the car itself, but I really doubt that I will be buying another Peugeot simply because of the bad service.
