I just bought this as well and I am seeing the same thing. I have a Galaxy S8 and 2017 Honda with AA. One other wrinkle is that I downloaded HUR on my Galaxy Tab S4 and connect my Galaxy S8 via USB to my Tablet and it seems to work. I can get to the gauges.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sportwagen3:
Works for me on my MIB2 head unit. You have to restart your phone and then follow the instructions step by step.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
I was experiencing an issue that the AA HU Server would not start for some reason unless AA was first started, defeats the purpose of starting it on it's own. I know others have experience this too.

The issue went away for a couple weeks, but today it has been happening again nonstop.

I have updated my flow with a change that seems to have resolved this issue. If you have issues I recommend putting a time delay between the launch of the "App Start" and the "Shell superuser command".

For those using other automation apps all I am doing is starting the package

"com.google.android.projection.gearhead"

and the activity class

"com.google.android.gearhead.vanagon.overview.VnConfirmExitActivity"

This is the activity that is used when you exit out of AA when using AA on your phone without a headunit.

Remember you need Root to use this flow.

Thanks

Its like Somthing is blocking it from launching

I have developer mode on phone enabled

Even Android Auto itself does suffer of loads of bugs if you have a look on the google product forum you will see many many users complain about connectivity issues, and my app just adds another layer of potential failure to it. So sadly with all my best intents there will be cases when this will simply not work, of course if this is the case please email me for a refund.

However there is one more thing you should check. Open Android Auto, go to Settings -> Connected cars make sure there is no car in the rejected cars list, if there is use the 3 dotted menu to forget all cars and then make sure that "Add new cars to Android Auto" is actually enabled!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philow:
[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] Do you think my issue is the same? I checked I have no rejected cars.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DavidFB1973:

I'll try some other combinations before defeating.... ?

Last update fixed root issues for me. I can now Start AA via the APP without starting the Server manually before. That did not work before. Thanks for the good job!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Phredeee:
With regard to OBD2AA only. Android Auto does not connect if the app is loaded and Load Always is selected. I have tried on 3 different phones, Note8, S7 (rooted) and a cheap burner. The Samsungs are on 8.0. If the app is not installed AA works fine so I know the cable is good. AA developer is on and head unit server is started. Torque Pro is running and working locally on the phone. It is a clean new install of AA with no 3rd party apps. I've tried installing after having AA running and before.

I'm willing to try something if anyone has any suggestions as I would really like to have it running. Especially AA Gateway. I currently have the S7 permanently installed and using it for AA. It creates a small issue because outgoing caller ID isn't my main number.

AA Gateway isn't sold as an alpha or beta. My results there are the same. AA hangs at Loading...... It just never connects.

The apps were tried installed separately.

I suspect there is something unique about the Honda Head Unit causing the issue. Honda Hack also will not work on the unit. I don't know the details why.

I've asked if anyone has gotten it running on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline with no response, so I have to assume no.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ruudvddries:
Hi!

I have bought odb2aa via XDA Labs. I also have a working Torque Pro install running. I have developer rights in AA. I use AA on the media system of my VW. I do see camera and speed alerts in the main view of AA. But I do not have a extra page for the Torque views. What am I missing? I have a non-root S8 with the latest AA installed.

I love the work so I am really curious how to get it to work.

Kind regards,

Ruud

I have the same happening with my XAV-AX 100 and non rooted Galaxy S6.

Unfortunately I have currently no time to dig deeper. It used to not start AA every other day and a reboot solved the problem. Was usable. Now, AA no longer connects after three or more reboots. Had to uninstall to bring back Vanilla AA.

[MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION]

Thanks for the update.

Default screen is great and works

Start music is working, but my device always has trouble loading the actual song. I blame my phone or apps.

Now for fixing root

OBD2AA was already added to Magisk, but disabled root. I enabled root and got the headunit server not started.

I completely removed OBD2AA from Magisk, then pluggen the phone in to accept root and everything works in AA.

Unplugged and plugged back in with succes.

Got in the car 30min later and not a single thing happens when I plug in my phone. Removed from Magisk and the consecutive plugins the same.

I'm going to guess a reboot will help, but there is still something strange going on.

Prior to the update I'd start headunit server manually and that worked the majority of the time.

Update:

reboot did not correct

Removing rood did not prompt for root

Reboot again and restarted headunit got root prompt and worked.

Subsequent times in the car headunit server not automatically started, but does end headunit server when started manually.

Back to no root and starting headunit server manually seems to be the most reliable for me.

[MENTION=589658]philow[/MENTION], [MENTION=8968433]DavidFB1973[/MENTION] - please also make sure that "Add new cars" is enabled, that is very important! If still doesn't work please do submit a bug report as per described in OP so I can have a look, not sure I will find anything there, but at least I can have a look.

[MENTION=1941738]Phredeee[/MENTION] - Please do enable logging and also enable force logging in Android Auto developer settings then do capture a bug report when you connect the phone by selecting "obd2aa and always". I will like to see if there is anything specific to your headunit there.

[MENTION=648545]ruudvddries[/MENTION] - Enabeling developer mode is not enough, you need to start the headunit server and make sure you select to open with obd2aa when you connect your phone to the car. Please see OP for instructions especially step 4,5 and 6.

@Alphaelectric - Can you please provide a bug report when this happens, I need to see why it's not really connecting, it's stange that it works on some occasions but not on other.

[MENTION=351703]froader[/MENTION] - The root thing sounds like a timing issue to me, I will see if I can come up with a more better, reliable way to implement that....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DavidFB1973:
Yes, in my case I have the "Add new cars" option enabled.

I'll send you a bug report ASAP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philow:
Add new cars is enabled for me as well. I will try to get you the bug report as soon as I can.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Makes sense. Happy to test LMK.

Since the update, sure seems to load on my headunit much quicker and not get stuck first at a black screen like it first used to. That's a big plus!

Thanks for all your hard work BTW

I know your app is unrelated, but are you aware of anyway to get music apps to work together? Seems like they start up on my phone and fight each other making it hard to get music to play. Maybe I'm the only one...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Not sure about the music apps question. Is that in Android Auto? I never had that problem...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] >_<:
Does this work with wireless Android Auto?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Sadly not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DavidFB1973:
Emil: I’ve just sent you my bug report!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes got it. Am I right in saying this, you plug the phone in and then you start the car? If yes can you please try to, first start the car make sure you wait till your headunit completes booting up and only once the boot sequence of the headunit is fully completed plug in the phone?

I might not be right but there is a burst of usb connection and disconnection, before I see the bluetooth connecting, which makes me think that when you turn the ignition on, the thing go awol.

Please do report back.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] UmMeL©:
Hi,

I also have had some trouble with OBD2AA and connection to the headunit.

But since newest Version everything is running as well.

Thank you.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dingbat75:
not sure if this has any bearing but does the type of adapter plugged into OBD2 port have any effect on connection issues?

Torque Pro does not start automatically

Hi

I have a problem when I use OBD2AA that it does not start Torque Pro automatically when I put it to the car radio

I can start it manually before I put it to the car's radio and everything works fine, it closes Torque Pro when I take it off.

but as said, Torque Pro does not automatically start when plugged in.

some suggestions for what it can be ?? ( I have enabled it in the settings :) )

I have a Asus zenfone 5 that is rooted an running android 8

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
I have Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify all installed and it seems like they all fight each other to start in AA. I also have Amazon Music installed, but don't see it in the fight.

Must just be me...

Is auto-start for music working for all or do you still have to sometimes still push play?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DavidFB1973:
When you say "start de car", are you referring to start the ignition of the motor, or just the electronic system? I always plug the phone before the ignition, but after turning on the electronics.

And how can I know that the headunit has completed the booting up? I'm sorry if this is a trivial issue, but I'm not sure I understand exactly what you say.

If you think it may help, I could record a short video.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badmaru64:
Extra PIDs are not working

Any update about this issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Start the ignition, wait for the headunit to be ready (usually when the boot animation finish) and then plug in the phone.

If you start the electronics, plug in the phone, start the ignition, there is a chance that the connection is dropped for a fraction of second and that can make things go awol. Just give it a try after you started the engine.

If problem persists, please do email me a new bug report.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
It looks to be an issue related to Torque itself and the interface it's offering for plugins. There are 2 ways a developer can pull data from Torque.

One has a 6 years old bug where wrong values can be returned in some scenarios and the other looks not to work with custom PID's. I haven't received any updates from Torque developer if/when he is going to address this, till then my hands are tied :((((
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badmaru64:
Don't worry... I will play with standard PIDs, but... I will send a gentle reminder here in this thread, twice a year :D

Meanwhile if you need some logs, let me know.

[MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION] I'm having issues getting things working on my Pioneer W4400NEX with Wireless Android Auto & Pixel2XL. I have a hunch after reading though most of this thread that wirelessAA probably isn't supported. Any chance it will be in the future?

Thx,
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Nope as it stands at the moment it doesn't work with Wireless AA, I would need to get a headunit which supports Wireless AA to try to figure out how that actually connects and how can I intercept that connection, so that won't happen in the near future I'm affraid... :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] king_of_fools:
so to use this app we can never have a third party app installed? or just for initial setup? why this limitation?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
No third party apps at all. Emil is getting enough pushback from google and does not want to give them any reason to blacklist his apps.

Some may not like this but he does his development for a living and those who create the hacks do it for fun.

Hope this answers your questions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] king_of_fools:
well, that answers the why but I removed the only 3rd party Android Auto APP I have aside from this and It still isn't removing the 6 touch limit from my google play. The 6 touch limit is the only reason I got the app so if that doesn't work then I have no use for it personally.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Get a bug report to emil. He was able to fix it for me. Don't give up.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AlexH0661:
Hi all,

I've been having some issues. I have a Pixel 2 XL not rooted. I have the AA head unit server running, and I can see OBD2 for AA start when I connect my phone, but after I select to use OBD2 for AA, it looks like the head unit server crashes and that's as far as it gets. It crashes after the Google Assistant page, during the initial setup with the car. If I choose AA instead of OBD2 for AA, AA works fine and I get notifications from OBD2 for AA, but cannot access the gauge clusters.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Alex

EDIT: so using the Desktop Head Unit in the Android Studio SDK tools, I was able to verify the configuration on my phone...mostly. It works perfectly through the emulator. I launch the AA head unit server, I plug into my laptop, launch the emulator...boom! There's OBD2AA, displaying all the gauges perfectly. I then plug into my car, and no joy. The emulator doesn't prompt me for whether I want to use AA or OBD2AA, it just launches straight into it, whereas my car prompts me to select one. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. For reference my car use the VW MIB2 Discover Pro, which sounds like has had some compatibility issues for other users as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] derekk1:
Hello, I'm having trouble getting this to work with my car's head unit. My car is a 2018 Jaguar and we (Jaguar/Land Rover) just finally got Android Auto about a month ago. My phone is a Samsung S8+.

AA works fine on the car. I tried getting this to work both with and without Torque. At this time, I'm mainly interested in trying to disable the 6-tap limit (although I might use the OBD2 bluetooth adapter from my other car in the future too).

I can get the OBD2AA app installed. When I connect to the car (via USB) and select OBD2AA, nothing shows on the screen and then after a few seconds I get the message (on the car), “Android Auto Disconnected.” The phone never shows the Android Auto Accessory screen. If I do this and select Android Auto instead of OBD2AA, AA will run on the car and I am able to get the traffic camera alerts from OBD2AA (but the 6-tap limit is still maintained).

It “feels” like a handshake or sync issue between the car’s HU and the phone, but I have read (on this forum) of problems encountered by other Samsung users so perhaps the phone is the issue?

Emil, if you read this, should I create/submit logs? Thank you anyone in advance.

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with my head unit so I've uninstalled obd2aa for now, but now since it's set to launch by default, vanilla AA doesn't launch. I see this step to try and get it to default to normal AA again;

MAKE SURE YOUR SCREEN IS UNLOCKED and connect to the car, when prompted which app to use select "OBD2AA" and always (this needs to be done one time only) - If you are a HUR user select Android Auto and always! (If you do not see the prompt to chose, please go to settings -> apps -> all apps -> Google Play Services -> Clear Defaults and then try again)

But my LG phone doesn't have that option for google play services in that menu, help!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
You can try and clear cache and data for Android auto. That should reset it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DanGarion:
I'm using a stock LG v30 and when I connect using this I get a "device not compatible error message 4446" error message.

I've received that message a few times without this app and normally just restarting my phone will resolve it, but that doesn't fix it with this. Any suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DanGarion:
FYI, when you get to Google Play Services the defaults are under "Open by Default".
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] foxpants:
That did the trick!

Yeah I checked every menu that was available when viewing Google Play Services, on that screen it said "no defaults set", the above comment sorted it.

Fantastic. Really love to try the camsam feature now.

Emil, my camsam app is blitzer.de

Perhaps a stupid question, but do I have to start blitzer.de before connecting to Android Auto (or let it automatically start with BT connection) or isn't that needed?

Edit: running Android Auto, torque, blitzer.de and AA2OBD. Blitzer.de gives me a warning tone but no notification. Do you know, what I'm doing wrong?
