It originally launched for $90, but is available today <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4u8Oo06\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">for around $40<\/a> after numerous price cuts over the past few years. <\/p>\n<p>A new version of the adapter, \u201cMotorola MA2,\u201d hit the FCC recently with two main changes to see. Firstly, the removal of its built-in cable, instead replaced with a USB-C port, as well as a physical switch on the side, but there\u2019s a full redesign of the hardware here too. <\/p>\n<p>And, now, it\u2019s suddenly official.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>The folks over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/motorola-ma2-wireless-android-auto-adapter-3645480\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Authority<\/a> spotted Motorola MA2 on the sidelines of MWC 2026, with the company apparently saying that the Android Auto dongle will launch in May in some regions, with a US launch sometime in Q3 2026.
