I just wanted to check I am not missing something.

I have paired my Android phone and music and phone connect, but no map display until I connect cable from phone to USB port.

If this is the only way to get maps/nav, a bit surprised.
 
Yes. Android Auto is only available when connected via a cable, unless you buy a aftermarket wireless box.
 
I bought a Motorola Android auto dongle. Works perfectly no need to plug in phone now.

The only thing is the lead on the dongle is a bit short so would suggest a different brand, but there's lots of choice in the market.
 
I can vouch for the Motorola dongle, Works perfectly for me in my GR86 and I beleive it's the only one authorised by Google, there seem to be lots of these types of devices on Amazon but the reviews are varied.
