Me too. And this thread shows how Android family works!

Yesterday I've tried the 1.3b while driving to the Nürburgring with google maps.

On this drive I have had one problem.

After a bit more than an hour, Google maps hung up and doesn't show on screen anymore.

I don't know if it's related to a full ram or so, but only a reboot helps in this case. Before longer trips I'll made a reboot before driving, so no other apps than my driving apps where online.

It could be, that it was maps fault, because a few kilometers before I've ignored all google maps warnings of closed tracks and the navigation have had to reload the trip many times and this place wasn't covered with any mobile data...

But hopefully others can try longer trips with Android Auto, camsam and OBD2AA enabled with torque.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drc13:
Just purchased this app earlier in the day.

Only managed to fit in a 10 minute test (1.3b) and just wanted to report back that it was nice and simple to setup and running very well so far. I'll be able to give it way more of a workout over the week but just wanted to congratulate on a great little app Emil!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Today, I tested V1.3B. With this version I have no problem with the connection.

I wish my only to setup the alarm with fixed values and not with percent.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks all.

As far as i can tell version 1.3b it's ok, except the custom PID's which are just not pulling through. Still on the road and loads of work left for this weekend, but hopefully Tuesday I will be able to move this to the main release, then focus on getting the custom PID's sorted as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ControlNode:
For the most part it appears good now. I would like the Run as service to be optional myself. I like the old way of it not running until opened if I didn't really need instant on. For when I have no plans to use the gauges the phone would use less power and allow it to charge faster through the USB (not all cars provide a lot of power). But when I'm racing I love the service option so that as soon as it connects it starts and by the time I'm clicking the button on screen it's ready.

On a long drive I had an issue where the app appeared to restart (screen when black and then gauges came back) and appeared to use the old max value logic (fuel pressure at 9 psi) again, should have been at about 500 psi while cruising at 60mph.

Custom PID for tire pressure on my Focus RS is not working, in Torque I have values, but just sits at 0 in OBD2AA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
This comment reminded me that I forgot to mention the custom PIDs for the Prius that don't show up on the head unit DO show up correctly in the torque app. So your experience seems to mirror mine for the custom PIDs.

Unfortunately I'm based very very far away... Looking forward to having it work like it used to before AA went into ver 2.0 though...anything that I can try out that may help you?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mazubo:
Hi, thanks for the reply. Are you meaning 3rd party apps on my phone? In regards to AA, I only have Android Auto and OBD2AA. I'm not rooted, and all services such as Bluetooth, location etc are working fine.. the only thing I haven't done is use a a different phone to see if the same issue happens. I will try this today and report back. I'm currently using a OnePlus 6t; I will test with a Pixel XL. Cheers,

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

Yes it always worked with odd2aa 3.2.

And for navigation voice it is really random sometimes it works for first anounce and after its transferred to the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Emil do you know why google maps now looks dark and like a negative photograph?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MUKZU:
Hi all,

Couldn't get this to work with my kenwood dmx905s and pixel 2 XL

Followed all instruction on the front page but it says j supported device on my head unit when I try to run OBDAA.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] katonag:
I have tried to find an answer but didn't succeed, sorry if it has been asked previously.

From the million features of obd2aa I am actually interested in the removal of the 6 click limit and the Bluetooth audio output.

What does exactly the bluetooth audio output do? I am looking for an option to route phone calls to a bluetooth headset instead of the car's audio system, while the phone with AA is connected by USB to the car. Is this option capable of doing this? If not, is there any chance that you will implement such feature?

Is it possible to use the 6 click limit removal and bluetooth audio output without torque? Alternatively do you have a stripped down app which only removes AA limitations?

Hello,

does it work for you guys with the last version of Android Auto (4.0.590434)?

Regards
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Yes it does
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Yes and has been a long time since it hasn't.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Very true.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
I've been around this a while.

Some troubleshooting steps that have been helpful for me are the following:

#1 Make sure root is denied for OBD2AA

No connect unplug phone and force close OBD2AA and then ensure AA head unit server is running then plug back in.

Still no connect. Unplug phone reboot and then ensure AA head unit server is running then plug back in.

Make sure to exit AA after starting head unit server.

Keep in mind nothing is perfect and since this app is bridging a much needed gap it's far from best practices obviously. This is from my many experiences of narrowing down the fixes and I have to say the fixes have been narrowed down and minimized with each revision of the app. Thanks [MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION]

Are you having issues or justed to know if you can update Android auto?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sweetolbryan:
Not working

I guess I must have 1 of the Samsung phones that is not working....

I am using the latest AA and Obd2aa Beta on a Galaxy S7 and a 2018 Ram 2500. The app connects and disconnects over and over until it finally wont connect at all and I have to uninstall and reset phone on all works as it should

Thanks

No mine stopped working after update of android auto! Android auto will not connect to car if OBD2AA is installed, I uninstalled OBD2AA and my phone connects great but when I reinstall OBD2AA android auto will not connect again.

Hey guys. Will there an update for the plugin to support aa version 4.0?

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 AM ----------

Hey guys. I can get android hacker to run in the background. However when it connects android auto says I need to be parked to use. This is not the case when I run android auto normally. Therefore i suspect something wrong with parking brake detection? Anyone have the same issues? Head unit is a sony av5000.

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

Sony xav-ax5000 I mean
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Can you clarify what you mean an update? It works fine with AA v4.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
Yep. Work as usual with latest AA update. Samsung S9+ and beta.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ianrex:
Hi.

Sorry for being misleading. I had thought version 4 didn't work with the plugin hence asking for if there would be an update to support it. But my problem is that I cant get past the parking brake check on head unit. If I connect aa normally it works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Why don't you grab some logs and email them to Emil. I'm sure he will work his magic for you. So far he has been able to take care of most issues that aren't out of his control.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GoodallDT:
Was looking for some assistance

I have followed this guide as close as possible. Trying to run it on my LG G Pad. With Android 7.0 Nougat. I am using AA ver. 4.0

If I use Android Auto by itself, it functions perfectly...

When I plug the tablet it and launch OBD2AA at the prompt it appears it attempts to work but the video is completely messed up. You can see through some static at the top its displaying some gauges but its completely unusable.

Has anyone else experienced this?

So I actually just started having issues with this. 8 updated to Q beta 1. AA works fine even with HUR but OBDII is not loading.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GoodallDT:
If I launch android auto by pressing the android auto icon, the menu at the right does not contain obd2aa to select and launch.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
In the preference menu disable the change dpi option or try to update to the 3.4 beta
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Well too early to investigate this, If OBD2AA doesn't show up with HUR, it's possible that they change something at system level or so, or it's simply something which is not yet implemented. When the beta gets closer to a release stage I will investigate it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GoodallDT:
Genius! That solved it. Went with Beta, disabled DPI Altering and it worked perfectly. I think this is required for Dodge Vehicle with UConnect...

[MENTION=4147343]mazubo[/MENTION] - Did you get it sorted or still no joy, please send me a bug report if not.

@jeromeo01 - Can you please enable force logging in Android Auto, then capture a bug report from the phone when this happens (I'm refering to the sound problme). For upgrading to 9, I've heard that even AA stopped working after update, other says it's fine, so I don't know. [MENTION=8786319]NU13[/MENTION] - night mode. [MENTION=6662863]MUKZU[/MENTION] - Where did you get stuck? [MENTION=9762596]katonag[/MENTION] - Yes limit remover will work without Torque pro, but you are not able to disable BT, I've removed that option it caused way to may crashes and problems.

@Jonesy66 - I remember of a similar case, I think after clearing cache for all apps (Google Play Services, Google, Android Auto) things started working again. [MENTION=4670039]LLStarks[/MENTION] - Road detection you mean the notification on the home screen?

I stumbled upon this thread and was disappointed to read here that Goggle neutered this app usefulness under AA.

However, I discovered [APP][root] Android Auto 3rd party App Enable and was wondering if this app might be fully function if used together?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Obd2aa will not work with this app or any other 3rd party apps installed.

This app works great with aa. No need for any hacks.

BTW Emil found a way around the limitation.

Hi,

I've purchased the pro version of this plugin.

However, I couldn't make it work. I don't know how it should be configured.

When I plug in the phone to the car usb, it asks me which app to start (odb2aa or android auto)

I select odb2aa. But then it says something about headunit is not started within android auto.

How should it be started and configured ?

is there a guide ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Read the OP it is all there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Flame Red:
Thank you.

I very carefully tried to follow the detailed directions in the OP. I am running this on a Note 8 Pie with root. I tried this multiple times of two different cars, one a Chevy and the other a Volvo. In each case, when I plug the phone into the USB on the car and pick AA on the car's screen, both cars come up with an error that an incompatible AA device was detected when I pick OBD2. AA works ok if I try AA instead.

I tried it with both AA Head Unit Server active and without.

So some questions.

I am using the Beta version 2019-01-18 3.4 Beta 3. Should I try stable instead?

The phone I have is rooted, but it seems that if I do not enable AA Head Unit Server, the phone complains.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Infintybeyond:
I have non-root Samsung note 8 Oreo. Same issue. It's not you. It's just buggy with certain Samsung models. I've searched the forum and they dev has mentioned that he's trying to find a work around.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:
on the OP , it says:

Android Auto compatible headunit or at least a copy of the Headunit Reloaded App (see signature).

but there's nothing in the signature.

What is a Headunit Reloaded App and how can I have a copy of it ?

What is a Android Auto compatible headunit ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bryanintransit:
The headunit is the radio/stereo in your vehicle. Some OEM headunits and many aftermarket headunits have built in Android Auto compatability. Without an Android Auto compatible headunit and phone, you won't be able to get this to work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:

I have a Jeep Compass with Uconnect software 8.4" screen.

I am connecting my Note 9 phone to the USB port normally and Android Auto works fine.

As instructed, I enabled developer options on Android Auto and started head unit server.

I have also started the ODB2AA app and configured 1 dial to test.

Torque is installed and communicates good with the ODBII adapter.

Now when I plug the USB cable , phone asks me to choose from Android Auto or ODB2AA app.

I select ODB2AA app. (I understand that at this time Android Auto should be running , because if I close it then headunit server is also closed)

The car unit shows as if Android Auto is connected but it asks me to follow instructions on Android Auto app on my phone as if I had installed Android Auto new.

However, there is no instruction on the app.

I don'T know what to do.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Look at the previous post and try clearing the default. See if that helps.

The head unit server should be running in the background.

Do you have root or not?

Custom Background Image size...

Has anyone found a correct resolution for a non distorted custom background image?

I tried 440x440 i think it was and it didn't look quite right....

Also, has anyone made any custom gauges for OBD2AA yet? Custom Needles? I see those options and wonder what people have done.

The Racing Dash plug in for Torque is one of my favorites...I wish we could get something that looks like that running directly on a Head Unit...

I cleared all cars from both phone and car head unit.

Then I stopped both Android Auto and ODB2AA apps on my phone.

I cleared defaults.

Then started Android Auto and started "head unit server" in AA

Then plugged in USB cable.

It asked me which app to use with USB device.

I selected ODB2AA

The car head unit shows AA as connected (AA icon) but asks to continue configuration on phone. However, there is no configuration on phone.

What am I doing wrong ? What am I missing ?

What app should be running in front on the Android phone ?

Currently it seems like AA app is not seeing the car connected, because ODB2AA is selected at USB connect.

Android auto should open and it might ask to be configured. What happens if you press the home button?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:

Android Auto "app" does not open when I plug in the USB

Because according to your instructions, I selected app "ODB2AA" as the default app for this USB device.

now do you say that Android Auto should be selected ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
No odb2aa should be the default and it allows aa to open and be the default.

Maybe grab logs and send them to [MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION].
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No Android Auto should NOT be running. The headunit server will continue to run after you quite Android Auto, you will see the notification in the notification bar.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tge101:
No, I'm not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Probably because Q will introduce new permissions for background locations as far as I have heard and currently obd2aa does not request anything like that.

Have a look at permissions sections and see if you can manually enable that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
