‘Motorola MA2’ wireless Android Auto adapter leaks with two big updates [Gallery]

Motorola MA1 remains the only “official” wireless Android Auto adapter, but it’s been available for four years now and is due for an update. Now, it seems like a sequel, “Motorola MA2,” is around the corner.

First available in January 2022, Motorola MA1 was the first wireless Android Auto adapter with Google’s stamp of approval. Prior adapters such as AAWireless work very well (better, I’d argue), but they didn’t get Google’s direct backing for one reason or another. Needless to say, it was an immediate hit that quickly sold out, and has remained pretty popular over the years, especially as it’s often on sale, currently costing just $45 – half of its original $90 price tag.

It’s now looking like a sequel is finally in the works, a “Motorola MA2,” if you will.

An FCC listing was spotted showing off a new Motorola-branded device from “Meizhou Guo Wei Electronics,” the same company that produced MA1 under the Motorola brand. The device is also marked as “MA2” and described as a “wireless car adapter.”

The listing doesn’t tell us much, though. The biggest detail is that the product is getting a redesign that addresses one of the obvious shortcomings of the original – a built-in cable. “Motorola MA2” seems to be adopting a design that has a detachable cable, with both USB-A and USB-C connections shown in the image (and presumably included in the box).

There’s also a mysterious switch of some kind on the side of the device. Its purpose is unclear.

Also shown in the listing is a descriptor of the device being a “Wireless car adapter for Android Auto,” so there’s no indication of cross-compatibility with CarPlay yet, as we see with AAWireless TWO+.

It’s unclear if anything will be changing on the software side, but the hardware alone is a welcome change.

As for a release date, it’s hard to say anything for certain just yet. Motorola MA1 hit the FCC in November 2021, about 2-3 months before it went on sale. So, with that in mind, it would stand to reason that the sequel might arrive as soon as April 2026.
