Carsifi, the Kickstarter and IndieGoGo-backed Android Auto adapter, launches an updated version of its companion app to further streamline device pairing.
CEO Ihor Martsekha says the move enables drivers with Android Auto 8 and earlier to use the WiFi dongle with their vehicles. This makes the device compatible even with older vehicles that do not have built-in WiFi systems or those with earlier entertainment suites that cannot run newer Android operating systems.

The executive notes the Android Auto dongle will work straight out of the box for vehicles with Android 9 and above. However, he emphasizes that the app also offers convenient features to motorists with newer cars, including the ability to set WiFi passwords and change the click settings of the device.
Google estimates that over 100 million vehicles already have Android Auto compatibility. However, access to this smart car suite depends on whether a driver’s infotainment system has a built-in WiFi system. Carsifi lets motorists enjoy all the features of Android Auto without having to upgrade their existing equipment — which can cost several hundred dollars.
After using the app to pair their smartphone with their dashboard, users will have access to the full selection of apps on Android Auto. This includes navigation, communication, news, music, and audiobooks.
Moreover, the WiFi adapter enables motorists to launch the above-mentioned apps using voice commands. This ensures that their hands and attention are on the road instead of on their phone or dashboard, thus preventing collisions.
Carsifi can save multiple user profiles and switching between them only requires a single button click. For this reason, the dongle is especially suited for families where different members share the same car.
Martsekha says: “We continuously enhance both our product and the user experience it offers, and our enhanced companion app is proof of that. Our team is excited to share that more people than ever can use this innovative Android Auto adapter.”
