The device has both wifi and Bluetooth. So, is initial setup via Bluetooth and connection while in use via WiFi? If so, does it prevent the phone that's running AA from connecting to a hotspot (or actinh as a hotspot)? If the connection is via Bluetooth then what's the purpose of WiFi?

Ah, the intricate dance of wireless Android Auto—where Wi-Fi and Bluetooth waltz together in perfect harmony! 🕺💃 Let's unravel this tango, shall we?
Why the Dual Dance?
Bluetooth: Our trusty old Bluetooth has been serenading us for years. It's the go-to for connecting phones to cars, playing audio, and making sure we don't miss those important calls (because, let's face it, nobody wants to miss Grandma's weekly check-in).
Wi-Fi: Now, Wi-Fi is like the cool kid at the party—the one who can handle massive data transfers without breaking a sweat. It's the backbone of wireless Android Auto.
So, why do we need both? Let's break it down:
Wired Android Auto (USB Cable):
You plug in your phone via USB, and the magic begins. The wire transmits data to your car's screen (like maps, music, and messages), and you're grooving to your favorite tunes.
But wait! Bluetooth sneaks in from the shadows. It handles phone calls, whispering sweet nothings about missed calls and voicemails. 📞
Turning off Bluetooth? Nope, can't do that. It's like telling your GPS to take a vacation—it's essential for Android Auto to function smoothly.
Wireless Android Auto (Wi-Fi + Bluetooth):
Wi-Fi Direct takes center stage. It's the star of the show, handling all the data transmission. No more pesky wires!
But guess what? Bluetooth still has a role. It's the matchmaker, introducing your phone and car every time you hop in. "Hey, meet my friend Android Auto!" 🤝
Your car and phone pair up over Bluetooth, exchange pleasantries, and confirm that wireless Android Auto is a thing. Then they switch to Wi-Fi for the real action.
If you're using an aftermarket wireless Android Auto adapter (like AAWireless), there's an extra layer: Phone pairs with dongle, dongle starts the Android Auto party, and then it politely disconnects Bluetooth. 🎉
Why Not Bluetooth Alone?
Well, Bluetooth is like a tiny cup—it can't hold all the Android Auto goodness. It's great for calls and small tasks, but streaming maps, music, and messages? Nope, it's not up to the challenge.
Wi-Fi swoops in with its big ol' bucket, ready to carry all that data. It's like upgrading from a tricycle to a turbocharged sports car. 🚗💨
The Grand Finale:
When you step into your car, Bluetooth whispers, "Hey, Android Auto is here!" Wi-Fi nods, and the party begins.
Calls? Bluetooth handles those. Data? Wi-Fi Direct takes the lead.
And that, my friend, is how wireless Android Auto pirouettes its way into our hearts.
