Hey guys. I bought OBD2AA and Torque Pro. I just want to set a different DPI on my Android Auto HU. I don't have a OBD BT device, so I tried both steps just without an OBD BT Device.

When I connect my Phone, which is an OnePlus Nord with Android 11, Android Auto wont bootup on my HU.

EDIT: I solved my problem by reinstalling AA und also left the Beta Program for AA. But now when I change the DPI for example, I get a Connection 16 Error from AA. Google said, turn off duplicate apps on Xiaomi phones, but I'm on a OnePlus Nord. So I can duplicate apps but i don't use this feature. Any ideas?

Hope anyone can help me.

Hey guys, I've got a wierd issue where I cant get my oil temp to show in OBD2AA on my head unit.

I've had to setup a custom PID in Torque as the default one doesn't get any data, and this is working fine in Torque, however when I use it in OBD2AA it just reads 0 constantly while everything else is working. I think it may be some kind of bug with it being a custom entered PID? I'm not sure

Has anyone else ran into this issue?

I'm on an unrooted Realme 7 5G if that's relevant

EDIT: SOLVED, I went into my phones battery optimization settings and turned off any restrictions to Torque and OBD2AA and it's decided to work :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheAmazingDave:
First off, @Emil Borconi your app is amazing. Thank you very much for the hard work and frustration you must have put in to put this together.

That said, I'm hoping to get some help from the community here. I've been struggling for hours now trying to get my custom-skinned gauges to work appropriately. I've been using Emil's instructions in post 1,069 but I just can't get the needles to point to the correct reading. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

For example, I can't get the attached intake air temp gauge to display correctly. I have the gauge set for a minimum number of 50 and a max of 150. I have set the starting point so the needle points to 50. The attached gauge face has a sweep of 270 degrees from 50 to 150, and I have the arch length entered as 270.

From what I understand, that is all correct. However, the gauge displays consistently low compared to the reading in Torque, and when I came back to the car earlier after coming out of the market, the intake had heatsoaked and Torque showed a reading of over 200 degrees, but the needle in ODB2AA was around 130.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Also, I can't figure out what Arch Indent setting does, and/or if it's related to my problem. I've tried different values but nothing seems to change.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheAmazingDave:
Well I gave up and just re-made my faces with different scales that start at zero. Actually like it better now, since the displayed gauges are tiny on my head unit and were hard to read. Here's what I came up with.

not sure why the screen gets squished in the screenshot, but it appears correctly on the display. I need to redo the AFR though because the 13 is in the wrong spot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lukdut:
Hi maybe you can help me with the following questions. I have an Alfa Stelvio and my motivation around obd2aa is mostly to get the Android Auto split screen via change of DPI settings. I would also like to remove the tab limit. My questions are:

1) do I need the OBD adapter/reader to change the DPI setting and remove tab limit or is torque pro + odb2aa app enough ?

2) if yes - my Alfa seems to have a security gateway on ODB port which means you probably cannot write to the port (or at least things like error messages cannot be canceled) - do you need to write to the ODB port to change the above settings?

sorry if those are obvious questions but I am not an expert in the field.

thanks, Luke
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1qazwsx4:
I think to change your headunits DPi it usually requires an app to "request" full screen which is often achieved by apps using root. I know that using an AAWireless device (made and sold by this dev) enables you to force split screen meaning you can run two apps on screen. As for using OBD2/torque if it's just reading data so should work fine - sounds abit odd that you couldn't use OBD2 to clear codes etc that would get annoying.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lukdut:
Hi thanks for the response. I am aware of the AAwireless and have actually preordered the device but the shipment date seems to be quite distant ; I thought that obd2aa would have the ability to change the DPI setting and based on some other discussion I read that seems to be done on the headunit so I thought it is via the OBD2 connector facilitated via obd2aa app so that it is done properly - am I wrong?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gizmokid2005:
Changing the DPI doesn't need an OBD adapter, just needs to be requested by the device running AA. You should be able to change it without using torque or an OBD adapter.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lukdut:
Hi - I have managed to install OBD2AA, I also have torquepro installed but when I connect my phone (Galaxy Note 20) to headunit (Alfa Stelvio MY2021) and when prompted I choose Obd2aa then the HU says the phone is not compatible with Android Auto. Then if I choose Android Auto to run then AA connects to headunit and obd2aa seems to have some effect (for instance I can do text search while driving in google maps ) but I cannot change the DPI resolution or at least changes made on obd2aa are not visible. I have AA in developer mode and the HU server activated.

do you have any ideas what I may have done wrong or is it a limitation of this particular configuration?

thanks, Luke

Stopped working on latest AA beta (6.9.613714-release).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BrowningC:
Are there any plans to investigate and correct the issue alleged to be brought about by the latest AA release? I have come late to the party, got it installed in the last few days only to find as above - it does not work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] binary_boy01:
Hi there,

Could you please share some insights? What android version, what aa version and what odb2aa version ou have installed, now that youbhave them working together?

Thank in advance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hand-filer:
Sorry for the delayed response. It's been working flawlessly with the Veepeak VP11 OBD2 adapter.

OBD2AA - Version 3.6b

Android Auto - Version 6.9.613724

Adapter - OBDCheck VP11
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] binary_boy01:
No problem. Thank you for your answer. Me and some other memebers have oroblems withbobd2aa working with latest aa. Seems lime google kills this app and is no running in front of aa. I'm still lookimg for a solution, mailny cause I'm using it to increase aa output rez, lower dpi.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hand-filer:
Did you install the app from the play store, then reinstall from b3itlabs.com and then turn off auto update for the app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] binary_boy01:
No, in fact. Will try this method as well. Thank you in advance for letting me know this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BrowningC:
Many thanks to anyone who has any suggestions here.

I cannot get ODB2AA going on my car (a 2021 Audi with native AppleCarPlay which grudgingly changes over to AndroidAuto if appropriate USB connection made).

When I try to connect via OBD2AA I get 'Head Unit not Connected' on the phone / ODB app screen while the head unit itself clearly goes through a cycle of trying to connect but then greys out the connection. If I connect directly to AA ie not via ODB2AA, I get an ordinary functioning AA connection but ODB2AA does not appear among the apps.

@BrowningC

Have you installed Torque Pro?

Have Torque Pro connection to your OBD 2 data's?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BrowningC:
Alas yes, it is all there and active. There is just some bit of code exchange required between OBD2AA and the head unit which is not happening I think.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Emil. I can't seem to get this app to work with your AA wireless dongle. It works fine in my other car with no dongle. Is there a way to add this functionality to the AA wireless app, as an in app add on (iap)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] micl9:
Had this working previously on my LG V40. w/ wired connection.

But lots of changes since then:

Samsung A52 5G​

Android 11​

OBD2AA - Version 3.6a​

Android Auto - Version 6.9.613724​

and AAWirless connection​

same as others have stated only AA launches not OBD2AA
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Have you set the data in obd2aa?

I use the similar combination and it works. Does it work if you use a cable?

@Emil Borconi
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] binary_boy01:
Hi guys,

Today I bought the 3.6b vers from Emil"s website. Unfortunately can't get it to work, aa 6.9.613724. Not sure what to try next. Hqving this app working is a real deal breaker for me. Ps. Can't get aa to downgrade to a 6.5 ver and stay there, despite everything I tried.

If anyone can lay a hand, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Brianz1983:
Is this still available?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] micl9:
I did a complete phone factory reset and still did not get the pop up to make OBD2AA my default AA app. Needless to say it does not appear on my headunit. But both Torque and OBD2AA start properly on my phone when in the car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Check your cable or try another. Also delete the phone from headunit and AA and try again. I Had the same problem and that solved it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] micl9:
Cable works fine - I am trying to get AAWireless and OBD2AA to work together. Also tried my old phone previouly set up with a cable. Stiill works fine. but fails AAwireless setup.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Ah sorry then I have the same problem. aaWireless only shows the icon for this, not the torque data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] micl9:
I dont even get the icon!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lobie81:
G'day all. I'm trying to get this working on my 2021 Toyota Hilux factory head unit and Samsung S21+ Exynos running Android 11 but it seems like it's not going to happen. I have Torque Pro installed and connecting to my obd2 adapter and displaying data fine in the Torque app. I've tried both the a and b versions of the obd2aa app from the B3IT site. AA works fine for me normally.

I can't do option 1 because apparently the play store version of the app isn't compatible with my device.

Going through option 2 everything seems fine until step 7. I connect to the car, I'm prompted to choose obd2aa as the default app and I do that no problem. But then the phone never actually connects to the car. I've tried 3 different cables including an OEM Samsung data cable. They all work fine normally with AA, but when I try to use them with this process I either get notification straight away: "can't connect - try a different cable", or it just sits at "connecting" forever but never connects. AA never appears as an option on my head unit.

I'm not sure what step 7 actually means? Which tabs are we referring to in step 7? I assume it would be obvious if I could get that far?

Any suggestions, or is it a no-go for me?

Thanks very much.

Just for future reference, on my device (S21+ Android 11) you have to access Android Auto via the main Settings menu and Advanced Features. There's no Android Auto app as such on my device. To activate developer mode you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the AA settings and tap the version number heaps of times until the developer prompt comes up.

Edit: clarification
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] binary_boy01:
So guys, none has been able to find a solution for this? I have a s20 samsung, android 11 and paid 3.6b version. When select obd2aa as default, screen flickers once or twice and that's all. Next is a message on hud saying unable to check whether my pone supports android auto. I'm still hoping Emil will help us sort this out, as this is a real deal breaker for me.

Cheers from Romania
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
Guys, until few days ago, i had no problem with this app. But today, suddenly i can't even see the OBD2AA icon within android auto program list. If I clear all the data for android auto app on the phone, then after first initialzation i get the OBD2AA icon, but as soon the phone is restarted it is gone.

So, could it be that google somehow prevent 3rd part apps from showin in that program list?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
I have now install DHU emulator on PC, and even there I can0t see OBD2AA app on the program list. Does anybody have similar problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BlinK_:
Yup, same problem here. Do not see OBD2AA anymore in the program list.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tek_ids:
Same problem here, can't use obd2aa!

L.E.

I uninstalled and reinstalled AA and obd2aa but it still doesn't work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
For me, it works the first time after deleting all data from aa app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tek_ids:
later I will try the solution proposed by you!

thx. in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Yes your workaround works. But after a reboot from the phone, i have the same problem as before.

@Emil Borconi

Can you help us? Google has change something.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
Yup, it works until restart. 😢
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tek_ids:
For me still don`t work...!!! My configuration is : SM-G960F, android 8, AA 7.1.614554, obd2aa 6.3b .

After "clear data" at the first start , the icon is there , but when conected don`t run!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tek_ids:
Finally, it works....until the first restart!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Novanorm:
Same problem here. It was flawless for around a year. Thanks for the great app, hope it works again soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashrr213:
Same for me and solution fixed it as well. So anytime we restart the phone we have to clear and reconfigure AA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
Maybe we sold try with different app name? But I think it all has to be compiled with different name. Do we have a volunteer 😁
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BlazedJedi:
I'm having the same problem, I uninstalled AA and reinstalled but now I don't have the ability to open the Android auto app on my phone to start the head unit server, I was able to access it through a system setting but now obd2aa won't show up on my head unit no matter what I do.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chuppito:
@spektr23

I tested the modification of the name we can see the application in Android Auto but impossible to make it work whether it is directly from the application or from Android Auto. Émile must rewrite the application with the new SDK
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
That is what i am thinking about yes, i will try something..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
For me it's still working with few conditions that has been mentioned before.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chuppito:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Esiek1:
Hi guys, dod someone tried investigating what has changed in last days since the app has disapered from our AA? I saw that Torque was updated and so do AA app. Did you tried to instal old versions of thise apps? I will try to do jt step by step in the weekend. Maybe we can go back in time and turn off automatic updates?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spektr23:
I guess Google made some rules on their servers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashrr213:
I started having this issue as well. Worked for a day a now obd2 is gone again despite not having a restart. Seems I have to clear and reconfigure AA every single time I connect to the car if I want it to work now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Hello guys, I have talking with Emil over the problem. He know about the problem and he want work on it. And he tell me the fix ix it's not easy or fast....

Let's surprise and wait
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashrr213:
Turns out my actual problem comes when I switch phones. Both my wife and I drive this car so when mine is working fine and then she uses her phone mine won't work next time I plug it in.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Google broke 3rd party apps.

Basically Android Auto disabled the old SDK no apps using it work any more. The official library is much more limited on what an app can do but I do have some ideas how to get around it.

Sorry for inconvenience working on fix but it will take a bit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Can you add the functionality to the AAWireless dongle you also support. That would be amazing!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] head_banger:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
@nygmam

Has the combination OBD2AA with the Emil AAwireless dongle never worked for you?

On my phone it had worked until the new problem started.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Never worked, I used to see the icon, but that was all I ever got
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
It had worked on my phone. Too bad. Have it work with a cable connection?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Always working on cable, or at least used too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sportwagen3:
Did you enable the developer options in the AAWireless app? Once I did that, it worked prior to this bug.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Oh, don't tell me that, I never enabled those.

Yes latest version of AA dated Dec 7th broke OBD2AA. I have downloaded a previous version of AA, and its working again. Shutting off auto update for this app. Hopefully future versions makes this work again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Esiek1:
When I download older version it demand update in order to work. Even in plane mode it knows that update is avaliable. Which version exactly did you installed?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashrr213:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I know you are all waiting and I know I'm not active here due to being busy with everything else, but some good news, I've managed to load a custom animation using the official Google Library now I need to port it all to obd2aa.

I think mid / end of January you should be able to see the gauges again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Bosjoe65:
I have downloaded Version 7.0.614103. You have to shut off auto update for the app. I get notices to update when I run the software. But its been working perfectly fine with this version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1qazwsx4:
Would be awesome to have it enabled through AAwiresless eventually - still happy to hear we'll be able to use OBD2 again regardless of how. Damn Google and their changes...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sportwagen3:
It's already available on AA Wireless if you have OBD2AA on your phone. Just make sure to enable developer options in AA Wireless once Emil takes care of the fix.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1qazwsx4:
Yeah I'm meaning if it was supported through the AAwiresless app to allow native launching/automatically rather than needing to use unconventional patches/hacks etc. I did run it wirelessly previously before Google blocked aftermarket apps. The reason I say this is because alot of the time patching apps into Android auto caused AAwiresless to refuse a connection and other issues for a fair few users that I know - wired connection was fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sportwagen3:
Before AA was updated, it natively worked with the AAWireless. I've been running OBD2AA ever since I got AAWireless early last year without any hacks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1qazwsx4:
Unless OBD2AA was patched using a varient of Phenotype Patcher, it wouldn't appear in Android auto as with any other unofficial Android auto app as far as I'm aware hence my previous comments.

I’d like to use obd2 to force split screen in my sync 3 ford expedition while playing my music through a wired connection. I need the wired connection for my large collection of hi res files that I will not stream. I’m using an old lg v30 if that matters. Thanks.

I was fine having to clear the data/cache, having to reinstall, etc. AAA Was working great up until this morning. No matter how I try and work around it, obd2aa will not show up, period.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1qazwsx4:
Yeah, we're stuck waiting until the developer finds time to work on this paid app again but he's tied up with the aaw development. Emil mentioned we should have had it up and running by end of January so hopefully something's not far off in the works
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danielsilva926:
Does anyone know if the code is available for development, maybe someone will help and be able to help the programmer to find a solution faster
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chuppito:
cetteSomeone helps the developer, it was 80% finished yesterday. If all is well we will have an update soon. It must have changed the name of the Android because to blacklisted are application
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pippoaacc:
Emil, I don't know if this is an easy one, but since you're touching up the code anyway, it could be a nice addition to have a timeout on calculated PIDs like Hp and Torque so that they go to 0 after, say, 3 seconds have passed with no data. This seems to be how (and this is just guess) Torque app itself avoids being stuck with the last known value on deceleration for example. This is pure wishful thinking, though, I have no idea how convoluted, if at all possible, that would be.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danielsilva926:
Is there any release date yet?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1qazwsx4:
I've been checking back every day since we had a mention of late January 😁 I guess it's been difficult modding apps to run on the latest AA
