I still couldn't make it work.

I would already give up if I had not purchased the paid version.

Now, IF I don't start the head unit server before connecting USB, when connected ODB2AA starts and says "head unit server is not running"

So , before connecting , I start Android Auto, then start "head unit server" from developer options.

Then I connect USB and select app ODB2AA to start with.

It seems like ODB2AA starts but there's nothing coming to the screen.

Maybe the app is crashing.

I don't know. Can anybody help me ?

thanks

Is your head unit an Android unit with HUR or a stock unit that came with AA?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Ford sync 3 no hur
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
Hmm I bet native AA works better with it than HUR.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Could be. I think it would be best to get Emil logs and give him a little time to figure it out. Since Q is dp 1 there is still plenty of time for google to break more stuff. I have a feeling knowing him he will have a fix in the near future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
So I was able to get it to work now. Looks like q messed with some of my permissions and I had to go in and adjust them.

Steps should be open AA

Launch Head Unit Server via dev options

CLOSE AA! (Head Unit Server will remain open in background, if it doesn't then you must have something blocking it in your Android settings)

Plug in USB

Select OBDII
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danyAf:
I was installed this app on my old andorid device moto x 1st gen Android 5.1, but I have problem on AA that stuck on night mode. Even I setting day mode on dev mode. Anyone have same problem here? Sorry if Maybe I post on the wrong thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:
I tried this exactly in the same order.

AA2OBD starts but nothing is displayed. It doesn't start AA (at least does not display).

I guess it crashes, or for some reason does not start the AA. Car unit shows AA but says it needs setup on phone.

what can I do to further troubleshoot ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
Try forgetting all connected cars in AA on phone. Also maybe clearing cache on AA on phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:
did that already. what else ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
Hmm perhaps check all permissions for OBDII and AA. Also just to make sure. Is you system working properly if you don't choose OBDII when you plug in the phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:
I have given all requested permissions to AA and AA2OBD

If I don't use AA2OBD, Android Auto works perfectly.

Well, I would expect the developer to jump in and help me about this situation. At least let me know how to get traces/logs so that the problem could be investigated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
I would suggest that as the next step. [MENTION=2501527]emio[/MENTION] Borconi perhaps you can help him more.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:

What phone are you using again?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ianrex:
Hi,

I have similar issues. I have emailed Emil and waiting for an answer after providing all the relevant log files. From looking at the log files though can see an error occurring when there is TLS handshake transmitting data. To recap my problem though, the head unit does not enter AA setup after connecting the device and selecting OBD2AA as the app. The head unit displays the park brake wire check and does not proceed. There is no problem with the wire as AA works normally and goes past setup fine. Anyways will keep you posted or when Emil comes gets back to me.

By the way I have a Samsung S8 (unrooted) on Android pie and connecting to XAV-AX5000 Sony Head Unit.

regards,

Ian

for what its worth i have a retrofitted sync 3 in my focus, came from sync 2, still have occasional issues where the phone just doesn't connect with obd2, does with AA
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Important UPDATE

Please see OP on new install method, should work with any phone/car combination.

As of today (27.03.2019) there are 2 ways to install/run obd2aa, one will (should) work with any combination of devices, but some of the features of the app won't work (6 tap limit remover, dpi change, autoplay on start, selecting start screen).

The old method of using obd2aa still works, and functionality will remain the same.

I'm curious on feedback from those users who weren't able to get it running till now if new approach makes it all good.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:
Samsung Note 9

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

if I knew what log files to supply and how to contact, I would also contact the developer.

any ideas on that ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
He is aware of issues with Samsung devices. I think he was looking for someone in his area to work with.

How to get logs is in the original post of this thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Please see today's update, I've updated the OP with new instructions, that will make it work on any phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Indeed, but as of today there is another method to get obd2aa running on any non-rooted phone :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr Andy:
Emil, this is great. Have tried so many times in the past to get it to work but never has. The new method (signing up for Beta testing through Play store) works well - HTC U11 and Kenwood DDX9018DABS. THANK YOU!!!

However, can you please tell me what the features are that do not work? What is 6 tap limit remover, dpi change, autoplay on start, selecting start screen exactly? I have only just got OBD2AA to work through this new method, so don't know if anything has changed elsewhere in AA for me.

Andrew
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ianrex:
Hi,

Can confirm new method is also working for me too. Samsung S8 - Sony XAV-AX5000 head unit. Thanks Emil!.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
6 tap limit removed allows you to scroll through music and contacts without being block after a certain amount and also allows you to type while moving.

Dpi change allows you to make the screen smaller or larger without distortion.

Auto play music on start of aa

Start screen allows you to start maps, music phone automatically when aa starts.

Hopefully this answers all your questions. If not reach back out.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr Andy:
Hey, thanks. I see they are options within OBD2 for AA itself. I wasn't sure if they were features of AA itself.

That's OK with me - I've never had OBD2 for AA working before, so if I miss a few features, and actually get it working, I'm definitely OK with that.

Thanks again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] phr51:
Hi,

The new method don't work with Huaiwei P Smart.

OBD2AA 3.4 beta 3.

The Headunit display (I'm french) “connexion échouée“ = failed connection. :(

The "old" method works once in ten.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
The new "easy" method works on my pixel 3.

But now the playstore want to update the placeholder.

I have deactivate the auto updates from the apps, now.

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

You plan to bring the app in the official playstore?

I have no problem to buy the app again.

I know how hard is your work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
That is almost for sure a connectivity issue and it's not caused by the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I can't Google doesn't allow it yet.

Indeed auto-update should be disabled, you will include this in the instructions, thanks for pointing it out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] phr51:
No problem with AA (without Obd2aa)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
When you use the new method and select Android Auto at connection, obd2aa has no interference with the connection at all. All I can think about is maybe obd2aa starts which starts Torque and that tries to connect to the Bt adaptor of the obd2, which might cause the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] phr51:
Torque is uninstalled.

But I have Carnotifier and Camsam Plus (use BT a2dp)...?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Infintybeyond:
New method is working now for non root Samsung note 8 one ui and Alpine Halo 9. Thanks.

Failed connection, but a notification remains on the phone screen = Service Google Play : Android Auto - Connected to your car.

And no notification with AA without Obd2aa
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
Am i right in thinking this new method works because it's a "official AA app" such as the likes of the car manufacturer apps? you can't add it to the store but you can make it a beta? just curious really.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:
the 1st method works with my Samsung Note 9.

thanks. I don'T need the additional features which are not available with this method.

However, I wonder if I will be able to add other AA apps with this installation.

Which app can I try ?

Btw, what happens if we leave beta program on Play store ? it might be a solution for auto update problem.

thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
The second method works fine on my Note 9 and always has done, does it not work for you? i'm on the one UI now and still works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrmrmrmr:
no it does not work for me. maybe it is about my head unit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xsocruz:
Downloading this app is not friendly.

Is it really that hard to just find this OBD2AA to download on my phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
What you mean? Have install the full xda app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
I don't seem to be able to update via the play store,

was gonna test the other method to see if it works more reliably

UPDATE: nevermind sorted it, seems it didn't join me to the beta properly, also loaded the url on my phone instead of the pc and it worked.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deitydiva:
Thank you so much.

I have been looking for this solution since purchasing my Smart Brabus in 2017 so thank you so much. You sir are a legend.

Kindest regards

Andy ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
I'm a bit confused.

Installing Obd2aa from XDA.

Subscribe the beta program on play store

Update one playstore

Uninstall Obd2aa

Reinstall via XDA.

This is the right procedure? What does the playstore thing do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Infintybeyond:
Thanks for all your effort. It's working on my non root note 8 on one ui w/ Alpine Halo 9 head unit. Here's a screenshot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] katonag:
Thanks. Regarding BT, is it possible to put back the option to disable BT call connection, and only call connection, as an experimental feature? I would like to try it, maybe it works for me. It is really annoying, that I cannot use my headset with AA. Additionally do you see any chance to develop a working solution? I think lot of people would buy such feature.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

I use Waze for navigation. Even with using OBD2AA, when browsing search history or favorites, after 6 scrolls a message saying "Browsing locked for safety" appears. Scrolling backwards works, but scrolling forward just locks screen. Is it possible to overcome this limit? My phone is a rooted Z3C.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
See email
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will make a note.

For tap limit did you connect using obd2aa or did you connect using Android Auto? If you connect directly to Android Auto tap limiter won't work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
AA WideScreen.

For those who connect trough obd2aa and can alter the DPI, if you lower the DPI to 90 it will make AA switch to widescreen mode, and show you a secondary display, but you need to be using Android Auto 4.1 or higher

Enjoy!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] katonag:
I have connected with obd2aa. Additionally obd2aa frequently crashes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
All is working well Emil. This is a very good workaround.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bantaman99:
After reading the instructions at the beginning of this thread, if I understand correctly, if I can only get option 1 to work for me, will I be unable to use the gauges and readings?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Not necessarily. Do you run aa just on your phone or do you have an aa enabled headunit?

If you have an aa enabled headunit you will get the guages with torque installed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bantaman99:
I do have an aa equipped head unit. Thanks for clearing it up. I'm waiting for my obd2 hookup to be delivered and can't wait to use it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
You can get it all setup and test out the other features before.

Adding the gauges after is cake. Just configure torque and enable launch torque in obd2aa. That way you can get past the hard part of just getting it setup in your vehicle.

Enjoy

It's finally working on my phone with Option 1 and Widgets for Android Auto is working too.

TPMS Crash

I searched TPMS and saw where this was asked about in January but I couldn't find a resolution. On my Galaxy S9 when I go to TPMS in the app, it crashes and wont let me assign a PID. Everything else seems to work beautifully.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
are you on the latest version? i had this issue on my note 9 until i updated to the most recent.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fooldog01:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
Yes
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fooldog01:
Yep. That did it. I don't know why I didn't think to try the beta. Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deitydiva:
Thank you so much for this and all working using my Samsung galaxy S8 on my smart Brabus with a WiFi OBD2 adapter and torque pro and abd2aa. I modified the dash layout needle files to match my analogue dials and but I keep getting "bad request" when I try and upload a screenshot to this thread. Kudos to the developer. Super happy.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eggmitty:
Got the app working fine albeit minus the obd 2 adapter that I'm still waiting for and I can't wait to test it out for real! Great stuff Emil! My only problem has been the autoplay music and default page, are these features beta? I have a pixel2 unrooted using a Kenwood dabs9018 hu.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 12preschph:
Not working on Pixel 3.

The obd2 sensor works fine with Torque and data is pulled in. I tried both options in the instructions and neither work on the Pixel 3 + HUD '17 GTI. Option 1 doesn't work at all (no custom apps are available in my head unit). Option 2 doesn't work if I select "Android Auto" always to run when plugging in. If I select "OBD2AA" always to run, my head unit gives me a connection error.

I'm on the 3.4 beta. Just a heads up with anyone that has the same config as me, save your money. I'll try again if a new update is released.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Did you follow the steps exactly as described in the op? Have you signed up for the play store beta installed it then uninstalled it and reinstall the app from XDA labs?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] miguelfp1:
Hi, I'm running version 3.3 on a rooted Essential PH-1, but the head unit server never auto-starts after root permissions being granted.

The 3.4 beta doesn't seem to work for me, even after manually starting the head unit server.

Is there anything else I should try to have the rooted install working correctly?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Are you running pie? If so this is a known issue that Emil will address.

With Tasker or automate you can use this command at boot. Make sure to you set obd2aa not to have root access or it will stop the hu server when you disconnect. There is no reason you can leave the hu server running all the time. I do and see no issues. It actually loads obd2aa faster.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] navaho99:
Hi,

I just found your app and it seems that it would be perfect for me. But, unfortunately I can't seem to get it working.

I am running a Samsung S8 with Android 9, Android Auto 4.1.590944-release and have been trying to use OBD2 for AA from stable channel. I'm trying to make it work with a Kenwood DDX6905S. With OBD2for AA installed the phone is giving me a"no installed apps work for this USB." popup and the Kenwood says "Unsupported Device" and refuses to start Android Auto. Without OBD2 for AA installed Android Auto works fine.

Is this fixable? Is there some logging or debugging that I can enable to help? Maybe the beta version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Make sure to remove from SU and then deny root next request. Start HU server and close AA, then plug in your phone. That's what has been consistently working for me.

In the event you get the HU server not running unplug phone and force close ODB2AA and then start the HU server manually exit AA and plug back in.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tjm79:
I have been trying for the last 4 hours to try to get it to work. The closest I am able to get it to work is the headunit on my 2018 Accord to say "unsupported device." After that my AA refuses to reconnect to my phone (Galaxy S8+) unless I restart it. I have a bluetooth obd2 dongle and am able to get readings from the Torque Pro app. I cannot seem to get the app to show on the headunit in AA. I have tried "option 1 and 2" connection methods. I go in and set up the gauges in the obd2aa app then close and connect the phone and start AA. Do I bring up torque then start? What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a bit technologically handicapped. So I apologize if I come off a bit ignorant.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
You have two problems. The First what must work, that you see the OBD2AA in Android Auto. Have you a headunit or you want to use the app with the mobile view from AA?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
When you plug in your phone, check phones display. It is asking you which app you want to start.

With Version 1 choose Android Auto, choose every time and you're fine.

Didn't see it mentioned, that you did that, so I guess, this is your problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tjm79:
I cannot get the OBD2AA to show in Android Auto. I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong.

I have tried both versions. Version 1 seems to give less hassle trying to reconnect AA. But for the life of me I cannot get OBD2AA to show in AA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
How FormelLMS says by Version 1 you have to select android Auto if you connect the Phone with the headunit. Have you onetime install the beta version from the playstore? After it you deinstall it and install the headunit from XDA last version. Please deactivate the auto update from the playstore.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tjm79:

Works great with LG G6 and Kenwood DMX7704S

Great Torque plugin. Exactly what I had been looking for. Thanks!

I'm using version 3.3. It works as described with my LG G6 (us997 running Oreo 8.0) and Kenwood DMX7704S HU. As stated in the instructions, the head unit server must be running.

One suggestion: If you configure a certain number of gauges and then decrease the number of gauges, then you lose the configuration of the higher-numbered gauges without warning. To prevent unintentional loss of the configuration, perhaps you could add a modal confirmation dialog with a warning and recommendation to export first.
