   My car has wired android auto, apart from plugging in the USB, never had   
   to unlock phone to use it.

   A few months ago I bought an AAwireless dongle, so now that plugs into   
   the car via USB, and effectively converts the car to having wireless   
   android auto, so when the phone comes within range of the dongle it   
   connects, usually by the time I've unlocked the car you can see the   
   status LED change colour and by the time I've sat in, put on my   
   seatbelt, android auto with map open is running ... brilliant device.

   Yes, pretty sure I had a one-time pairing to go through the first time.
