Help with USB staying on with Wireless android auto

[jrf]

So I recently purchased an Android Auto Wireless dongle. I got it from indigogo and it's called AAWireless.

Which makes my android auto wireless. Small box that connects to the USB port for Android Auto and creates the wireless connection. Everything works great....EXCEPT. It stays on when I turn the Jeep off. I've tried the USB port in the console and the one on the dash. The problem with that is that while the Jeep is in my garage it's close enough that my phone stays connected thinking it's connected to Android Auto.

Anyone know if there is anyway to get the USB power to turn off when the Jeep turns off? Or a device that can do that?

They all stay powered and for the the apple CarPlay one my phone always switches to the house wifi after I leave the Jeep so that must have a really strong signal

Yeah and that seems to be the problem.... I was hoping to not have to rig something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/wishacc-Adap...Z,B075V1RGQK,B08M3SML22,B00JU24Z3W,B07QTJZD99

With a 12v relay off an ignition source.

Or if someone knows of something similar to the above already wired for that.

I'm interested in this. Have you found a solution?

Ordered this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QTJZD99?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

And confirmed it works with the manual switch. Then tore the switch apart and wired it to a relay. I have NOT installed it yet. But there is no reason it won't work. Was hoping someone made something like this already...

There’s a setting in the AAWireless app to turn it off when it detects the vehicle is off. It’ll ping UConnect until it stops getting a response and then shut down after a pause.

Just found that option the other day! Works great! Thanks for adding it to this post.

As an alternative, or for those who don't have this setting on their device, I changed the center USB's fuse source to be switched.

Is yours still working. My aawireless is being wonking and won't save the start/stop setting anymore so it auto connects all the time again.

Yep. Is everything on the latest updates? If not try that first.
