**AAWireless Two Plus: The Best of Both Worlds for Wireless Car Connectivity**
In the world of in-car tech, few products manage to stand out and become everyday essentials for reviewers. The AAWireless Two, a wireless Android Auto adapter released last year, was one such rare find. Now, the recently launched AAWireless Two Plus builds on that success, introducing two significant improvements that make it an even more appealing choice for modern drivers.
The most notable upgrade is the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay support. While the original AAWireless Two was designed exclusively for Android Auto, the new Two Plus model allows users to seamlessly switch between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay—wirelessly. This is a game-changer for anyone who previously had to plug in their iPhone to use CarPlay in vehicles that lacked built-in wireless support. With the AAWireless Two Plus, you simply pair your phone with the device, and you’re ready to go.
The process couldn’t be easier. Setting up the AAWireless Two Plus involves plugging the adapter into your car’s USB port, long-pressing its multifunctional button to start Bluetooth pairing, and confirming the connection on your phone. After this quick setup, the device stays tucked away in your center console, ready to activate whenever you start your car. Within five to eight seconds, your phone connects, and your preferred automotive software—whether Android Auto or CarPlay—launches automatically.
This convenience is especially valuable for families or households with both Android and iPhone users, tech enthusiasts who juggle multiple devices, or anyone
