Did you enable "Wireless Android Auto" in the settings of your phone?
This is essential!

Do you pair your phone with the bike as well ...?

Yes, you have to, since otherwise, the MA1 won`t get started.

... does it work fine from the trunk if phone in the front or in a pocket ?

...I have plugged the MA1 into the USB port in the trunk (airbag model) and bonded it with the adhesive pad to the left inner trunk panel. I carry my phone in the left pocket of my riding jacket. The MA1 works fine, but there will be some rare occasional hiccups (aka interruptions). One of the positive things about this device is, that it will reconnect without plugging in and out and in and out and ...

...I get you paid MA/1 with phone but does the bike require the phone to be paired with it as well .

Well, not the bike requires the phone to be paired, but the MA1 does (see my first answer).

...Will have 2 headsets plus phone plus potentially usb music stick so trying to work out where they all go !!!

If you own a 2020 plus GW, you can plug the USB stick into the second port in the left saddlebag. If your Wing is from 2018/19, I would recommend to run the Honda USB cord into the trunk.

Using the MA1 will drain the battery of the cell phone a little bit faster, but this is not a big issue for me. Usually, I start my ride with fully charged devices. During a short coffee break, I recharge phone and headset with a portable jump starter/charger (highly recommended for Gen 6 owners) and I`m good to go for the rest of the day.

Kind regards from a happy MA1 user.

...and see what happens.

At least nothing what has to do with the MA1.

Don't understand how the phone can connect to MA/1 and the bike anyway 🤷

This device sets up a WLAN connection and communicates via WiFi with the phone.

And as mentioned in the earlier posts, check if Android Auto Wireless is enabled on your phone.
