I wish we had wireless apple carplay/android auto. I rented a Palisade and i love it for that reason.
2021 Kia Seltos S - does it have wireless Android Auto capability?
We just got a Seltos S 2 days ago and are loving it so far, but I'm having difficulty getting the Android Auto to work with my USB cords. Ordered a nice Anker USB cord from Amazon and will try that. But I saw that with Android 11, wireless Android Auto will work with cars that are enabled for it, and I was wondering if the 2021 Kia Seltos S is enabled for it? Under WiFi Settings, there's a checkbox for "Use Wi-Fi for Phone Projection" which makes me think the car is enabled for it (see attached photo), but the Seltos isn't listed on this list of cars that support wireless Android Auto:

It seems like every Kia except Seltos is on there.
Also, does the Bluetooth alone recognize voice commands for making phone calls in your Seltos? In my car it says the Android Auto is the only thing that will recognize voice commands, but I've seen a 2021 Seltos S advertised with "Bluetooth wireless technology w/voice recognition."

So far, I don't believe that its available anywhere for download. I'm currently trying to get the update files through my Kia dealership, but so far have not had any luck. 
From what I've read online, even if Seltos S has wireless AA, and even if you have Android 11, your phone (and the head unit in the car) must support 5 GHz Wi Fi, and I think my phone only supports 2.4 GHz even though it's basically a new phone I bought in December (Xiaomi Redmi 9A). I'm assuming the head unit supports 5 GHz.

"But Android 11 support for Android Auto wireless comes with a few requirements: you need to have both a phone and Android Auto head unit that supports 5GHz Wi-Fi. If you live in Japan or Russia, you won’t have access as Google says those territories do not support Android Auto’s wireless feature. Even in the EU, there are additional requirements; Google says Android phones in the EU that use 5GHz Wi-Fi in the car must “comply with additional regulatory requirements,” but we’re not quite sure what that means for you."
Android 11 phones will summon Android Auto wirelessly, no need to pull out your device
You’ll need an Android Auto head unit that supports 5GHz Wi-Fi.
