Background
The Motorola MA1 has been one of the more prominent Android Auto dongles, converting a car’s wired Android Auto connection to a wireless one. After several years on the market, a successor appears to be on the horizon.
FCC Filing
The Motorola MA2 Android Auto adapter was listed on the FCC website earlier this week (thanks to posts on /r/android and /r/gadgets). The filing contains a wealth of details, including multiple photos of the device.
Design
- Form factor: Square, contrasting with the MA1’s more rounded shape.
- Side switch: Allows users to toggle the dongle on/off.
- Pairing key: Integrated into the Motorola logo, a departure from the MA1’s side‑mounted key.
- LED indicator: Provides status feedback.
- Port: USB‑C for power and connectivity.
Box Contents
- Motorola‑branded dongle
- Two USB cables (type and length as shown in the images)
Outlook
Pricing and availability have not been disclosed yet, but FCC certification suggests the device could launch in the coming weeks. Some users have reported reliability issues with the MA1, so there is hope that the MA2 will address those concerns.
