The Motorola MA2 was unveiled at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, picking up where the MA1 left off. This dongle brings wireless Android Auto capabilities to your car’s wired Android Auto setup, with a $39.95 recommended price. It’s taken a while, but the Motorola MA2 is finally listed online. Unfortunately, the bad news is that it’s more expensive than first claimed.

The Motorola MA2 is now available on Amazon (h/t: 9to5Google) but it’s actually listed at $69.99, making it ~$30 more than the company’s initially quoted price. This product is listed with an earliest delivery date of December 17. Check out the screenshot below.

This price tag is still $30 cheaper than the Motorola MA1, but it’s nevertheless disappointing to see this apparent increase compared to Motorola Sound’s initial claims. We’ve contacted the company for comment regarding the price hike and will update our article accordingly.

Otherwise, the MA2 offers a flatter, square design compared to the original’s squircle form factor. The dongle connects to your phone via 5GHz Wi-Fi and supports connections with up to two Android phones, allowing the driver to swap between phones with the press of a button.

Other notable Motorola MA2 features include detachable USB-A and USB-C cables and a physical power switch. Either way, this $69.99 price tag puts it in the same bracket as the AAWireless Two, so you’ve got a few choices if you want a wireless Android Auto dongle from a reputable brand.
