Hello, so yesterday I purchased a used S5 convertible 2018. Firstly do I have android auto?
if so how do I find it in the MMI? I have Bang and Olifson on the door speaker covers. I've had my android phone connected with a cable and not seen any hint of android auto.

Thanks

Basic question - have you gone into your Phone Settings and enabled Android Auto to connect with the car?

Turn Bluetooth on for your phone. On the mmi you should have a screen for connected devices. Find your phone, you might have more phones listed, as mine did with the prior owners devices were still there. Just click your phone on the mmi and it should connect. Mine goes right to map/Amazon music/contacts all sharing the mmi. I usually have Amazon music up. Next startup should connect automatically.

2018 didn’t have wireless Apple Play nor Android Auto.

Sorry, missed the "wireless". nm.

The Motorola wireless AA dongle can fix that for you too. My wife is now addicted to it and the fact that it sits in the armrest out of the way and keeps the wireless charging pad free is great.
The constantly updated UI of AA keeps our 2018 car looking fresh. One glance at the maps in the VC makes you realise how things have aged. Luckily now, she has gotten used to the Sports Layout on the VC, which means a very small map display anyway.
The only annoying thing is that "Your mobile phone is still in the vehicle" message, which I keep forgetting to turn off in the MMI.

I used to use AAWireless in my 2021 RS5. It worked pretty well. I kept the dongle in preparation for my 2024 RS5 Comp, but then it just connected wirelessly! I did not know that the 2024 came with wireless AA.
