When android auto first came out i remember that on the market appeared android sticks that were meant to expand the functionality of android auto. They where like the android auto wireless adaptors that are around nowdays but where a standalone android device that used a phone’s hotspot for an internet connection. Are these sticks still around or are they completely gone?

    What I’m looking for it’s not a dongle but a full on android device that relies on android auto for interfacing with a user; its closer to a tv box than to a dongle; the one i remember had a mediatek chip so rooting it to add other stuff was easy.

    Edit: i was able to find the original product, it’ the finedrive AI 2 which is a korean product that is out of production, so no luck on getting one

        Yeah the problem is that i’m not sure what to search for, since everything i tried so far only brings up the wireless android auto adaptors
