Wireless Android Auto in a C7?
I am planning on adding a wireless charging phone mount to my C7 in the near future. The problem is, I use Android Auto a fair amount and the stock C7 head unit requires a wired connection for AA to work. Wireless charging is pointless if I still have to plug the phone in to get AA. Is there a dongle I can plug into the USB port in the center console that will allow me to connect my phone via wifi to AA?

Thanks for the link @GigG. I did some research before I posted this question and I came across the exact same thing. I even found a youtube video about the installation and use of it. It doesn't look like it will work with a stock system. Even if it did, I wouldn't trust it because it requires the use of a custom API that is downloaded into the car's infotainment system. Not something I'm willing to do.
I've been considering a Raspberry Pi project for awhile now. Maybe this is a good candidate.
