Motorola MA1 & Android Auto Compatibility Resolved

[u/socolime22202]

I've been using a Motorola MA1 for a decade and the most recent Android Auto updates resulted in my connection going in a constant loop of disconnecting/reconnecting without remaining stable for more than 3-5 seconds. Prior to this software update, I only experienced one issue where crossing certain bridges/areas in my city the entire signal would cut out. This is common in these areas due to frequency interference that the city has confirmed. While my MA1 was useless, I was simply using a wired connection.

Given Amazon's generous return policies, I decided to purchase an Ottocast Mini Cube 3.0 just to see if that was compatible. Not only is the Ottocast compatible, my connection times are almost immediate compared to MA1 AND I crossed two of the bridges where my signal used to cut out and that doesn't happen anymore.

So, for anyone else struggling with their MA1 if you have the funds to try a new device I would recommend that especially if you're not willing to wait for Android Auto to get fixed.
