Riding with Wireless Android Auto on your motorcycle transforms navigation, music, and communication—without cables or phone mounts. But how do you set it up safely and reliably?
In this blog, we’ll cover 3 proven ways to get Wireless Android Auto on any bike—whether your motorcycle has built-in tech or not.
Why Rider Needs Wireless Android Auto?
Let's be honest - using your phone as a GPS on your bike is a pain. The screen's too small to see in sunlight, the vibrations wreck your camera, and you're always worrying it'll fall off. Wires get tangled in your gear and yank out at the worst moments.
Wireless Android Auto gives you everything you need—hands-free navigation, voice-controlled music, and messaging—while keeping your phone safe in your pocket. It’s a smoother, smarter, and safer way to ride.
How to Add Wireless Android Auto to Your Motorcycle?
1. For Motorcycles with Built-in Android Auto/CarPlay
If your motorcycle already has an Android Auto or CarPlay-compatible infotainment system (like certain Honda Goldwing models), adding wireless functionality is simple. Just plug in a wireless adapter like the Carlinkit 4.0 to convert your wired connection to wireless. This compact device works instantly - no setup required beyond plugging it into your bike's USB port.
2. For Motorcycles Without Built-in Systems
If your motorcycle doesn’t come with Android Auto system, don’t worry—there are still great solutions available.
Option A: The Two-Phone DIY Method (Tech-Savvy Solution)
Apps Required:
1. Headunit Emulator (to be installed on the secondary phone). Costs about $6.
2. WiFi launcher (to be installed on the primary phone).
Steps:
1. Install the above apps on the concerned phones.
2. Enable ‘WiFi direct’ on the primary phone (instructions to do this will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so search for the procedure on Google).
3. Ensure that both phones have WiFi switched on but are not connected to any WiFi network.
4. Launch Headunit Emulator, and go to Settings -> Connectivity -> WiFi connection mode. Select ‘Use WiFi Direct’.
5. Note the device name on HUR (it will show in small text at the bottom of the screen. Most often it is ‘HUR7’.)
6. Keep HUR running on the secondary device.
7. Launch WiFi Launcher on the primary phone. Grant the permissions requested.
8. Under Wireless, select ‘WiFi Connection Mode’ and ‘Use WiFi Direct’.
9. Go to ‘HUR WiFi Direct Name’ and ensure it matches the device name we noted in step 5. If it does not match, manually type in the name as noted in step 5.
10. Select ‘Start WiFi Service Manually’.
That is it! Android Auto should launch on the secondary screen. Now for your next ride, you can safely keep your primary phone in your pocket or bag and use navigation, calls, and messaging (and music if that’s something you prefer while riding) from the convenience of your secondary phone.
