Interestingly enough, magisk does not show aa mirror nor has aa mirror requested SU permission. I don't see a way to force aa mirror in magisk. I have uninstalled aa unlock, reinstalled, granted SU permission and still nothing. AA does show permission to aa mirror 1.0. Does the installation method for aa unlock matter? I've downloaded unlock to phone directly and installed and I have also tried adb shell installation as well. Running AA 3.5.5xxx and GPS 12.8.74. Turbo is on marshmallow 6.0.1. Do you think the problem lies with aa unlock, aa, or hardware or combination of? I'm pulling my hair out over this! :eek: Any insight to what's going on or another thing to try?

Just tried the desktop head unit app and aa mirror shows up and everything works fine. Maybe there is a problem/conflict with the JVC KW-V830BT head unit I'm using?

Hello

AAMirror I'ts OK with SuperSU Pro, Android 6.0.1, Galaxy Note 4, last A.A and last G.P.S
[Android Auto General] pacorey:
Also It works perfect for me. Rooted Galaxy Note 4 with last AA and GPS. Thank you very much.
[Android Auto General] zyvex_14:
Could you please confirm me your "last" versions of AA and GPS you use?

So far for me it is working with AA 3.4.582534 and GPS 12.8.72.

I have locked them to avoid update and risk that aa-mirror won't work anymore.

If you said that last updates work, then I will also update my AA and GPS.

Thank you :)
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
For me it's Android Auto 3.5.58, Google Play Services 12.8.74 (none of them locked) - everything working fine
[Android Auto General] zyvex_14:
Thanks for the info, so I will start with updating AA to this last version.
[Android Auto General] pacorey:

Open auto question

Hi, you know I was just about to root my phone and try this. But honestly...haveing to reset settings every couple of days seems a bit tedious. I'd love for this to work well. I drive to My jobs all day in my sprinter and haveing full mirror would indeed be awesome to use but I work all day. I can't afford to be messing with this every couple days.

Not to bring up a sorry subject but he Chinese Android interfaces have full screen mirroring onto factory screens with touch. Could someone build a real world version with good hardware and excellent memory and just move on? Right now doesn't seem Google is letting go of blocking this. I really hate them for this, but I'm not buying an iPhone either.

Is there a way to maybe make a whole new app that doesn't rely on the existing AA and just uses the AA protocol to connect to our radio and move on? Sorry, it's just too much to mess with, no time. The old pioneer app radio that used Bluetooth for touch was really cool, stable for a really long time when unchained came out.

You guys have done some awesome work, it's amazing.
[Android Auto General] Bikkies!:
When using AAmirror and watching a video I'm seeing this behavior that when I touch the screen and for about 3 seconds after I touch it the video will play at what looks like a nice smooth 60fps, but then reverts to the jerky inconsistent framerate that I thought was just normal and looks like it fluctuates somewhere between 15-30 fps.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Is there some sort of activity timeout that I should be setting real high or something? Or is it just something that happens, where the screen really only updates fast while it's being touched?

I'm using a Google Pixel in a 2018 Golf.
[Android Auto General] texz71:
Got AA MIrror working great on a old Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 (I545VRUGOF1...rooted of course): AA 3.5.5830323; GPS 12.8.74; Android 5.0.1. Since I don't want to root my active AT&T S7, I just tether the Wifi out(as I have unlimited plan) from it to the old S4 that and had laying around and is now linked to my Chevy Infotainment system via AA & AA Mirror. Thanks to the developer(s) for this app! This is awesome!
[Android Auto General] marco.olmi65:
I have a problem with a samsung s5 mini.

when I connect with aamirror to the infotainment of my suzuki I can see the icons of the app.

when I open any app, the screen stays black while the app phone opens.

If I click on the infotainment screen even if it is black, however, the app commands me because on the phone the screens I see that change.

I give an example.

I open the calculator via infotainment the screen remains black but I click on the phone I see the numbers of the calculator that are written.

Can it depend on the phone that it is no longer recent?

Some advice?
[Android Auto General] ajsimeon:
Does anyone know if a car manufacturer (Hyundai) can disable Android Mirror to not show? So I downloaded the Android Developer for Android Auto and the AA Mirror will show on the computer when you press the speedometer thing and ask for root for AA mirror but when I go back to my Hyundai Genesis it will not show AA Mirror.
[Android Auto General] bggold:
I don't think so. 3rd party apps will always show in the Android developer tool.

Sounds like you do not have aaunlock installed.
[Android Auto General] el_chiefo:
Question... I have this working perfectly on a Pixel XL and Infotainment Tahoe '16, I am able to play youtube videos no problem, the issue comes when I try to play netflix of youtube tv or direct tv now. They show up black but audio plays. Is this because of DRM? Do I need to install Xposed with DisableFlagSecure module or is it something else? Thanks for this awesome app.
[Android Auto General] Mad Medik:
Correct. (Nothing the OP can do about that).

I'll leave this to someone else. I'm not familiar enough.
[Android Auto General] uncinogb:
AAMirror working, but two questions please

Same here. It works fine with those versions of AA and G services and the latest AAMirror version under lollipop 5.0 on Samsung Note 3. The version of AAMirror is still given as 1.0 but it is the one issued in June 2018 (guessing as it is given on the github as 3 months ago). May I suggest proper version numbers are used in future so we know which version we are testing? Caveat. I only really tried it thoroughly with my TomTom Go navigator app. I tried a few other apps and it seemed ok, but not tested 100%. Did not try Youtube at all, not interested while driving. By the way I tried AAMirror+ but it did not get recognized when plugged into the car usb.

Now my two questions:

1) Does anybody know how to change a favourite app? It is easy enough to store an app on one of the stars of the pop up left bar, but how can I change it or delete it? I tried all sort of things like long press, tap and then try to select a different app but nothing worked.

2) When I use my TomTom Go app the verbal messages get cut short, typically a syllable is missing at the end of the message. Very strange. Any ideas?

Forgot to give a big thank to everybody on this thread and in particular to the author of AAMirror for the excellent work done in turning Android Auto into a sensible application.
[Android Auto General] IlluminateDetail:
Tried following a number of different ways but cannot get AAmirror to appear on my head unit...my head unit for ford transit just says 'back to Sync' and no MagiskSU permissions appear on my OnePlus 5T handset like it should...any advice or support welcome...I've tried downgrading GPS but nothing would work including AA as it said GPS needed updating to work.... My phones rooted as well. Don't know how this is working for some people
[Android Auto General] ktwo:
The thing is if you don't downgrade playservices and/or aa to a specific version it won't show up even if rooted.

Simply said it's a mess. If there is no solution which works without having to downgrade essential apk like play services, it is not a solution in my view.

Sooner or later it will be mandatory for play store to work anyway...
[Android Auto General] merihy:
Hi, I installed the latest version of AA unlock (that has relock option) and tried to unlock again and it worked :)

AA developer menu started to work again after an OTA to my phone so I think it was related to something in the OS.

So now, I have AA 3.5.8 as latest version and gps 13.2.xx as latest version and aa mirror is working.

Hope this helps to those who could not manage to make aa mirror work again..
[Android Auto General] takmsdsm:
Is this working with Pie/Android P yet?
[Android Auto General] bggold:
Yes it does
[Android Auto General] gijosh28:
So I am one of the lucky ones. This worked first time go for me. I am using a Pixel 2, with a Ford Sync 3 B&O radio. I had done some of these steps before to try to make CarStream and OBD2AA work. Neither of those two work anymore. I can't get CarStream to work, and the guy who writes OBD2AA makes his apk not work if it detects and other android auto screen remoting software. Anyway I don't car about either because I now have this working in fine style. My only questions are:

1) Is there a way to turn the display off on the phone and still have the screen mirrored to the radio?

2) I know someone asked about it before now, but is there an Xposed work around that will let me view my DRM protected content on the screen?

This is the best screen mirroring app I have used yet. I can't thank the original developer enough! I hope it stays working forever. This is perfect.

Thanks,

Hi, trying to play any video on my Suzuki Vitara 2015 using AAMirror+VLC, i have audio out of sync: audio is four seconds behind the video. Any suggestion? Thanks
[Android Auto General] gokund:
Hi guys,

I used to use an old version with little problem on my rooted Samsung S6 Edge (Until had PlayServices updates). But in the meantime I changed my phone and kept following this thread for a stable solution. I don't want to root my new phone for now (It's Samsung S9 Plus). I'm okey not to use the touchscreen on the car for the moment but want to watch things and use other navigation apps etc.

My current PlayServices is 12.8.74 I lost track for the last few pages on the thread. Can you please help me figure out what exactly I need to install ? Which version of Android Auto, AA Mirror, AAUnlock? Do I need to do anything to avoid Play Services being updated. Or is it vital to downgrade? Can I do it without root etc?

Thanks a lot
[Android Auto General] ToRvaLDs:
It is working for me on miui with play services 13.2.80!
[Android Auto General] ktwo:
I've tried with MirrorLink recenty and i think it is the much better solution if you have some phone with ML support. At least for cars with do support both Android-Auto and MirrorLink.

Having to root and workaround something each time Google is pissed just sucks..

Can't believe how crippled AA has become :(
[Android Auto General] cioce:
With play services 13.2.80 it works only for half a day, then I need to reapply the AA unlock and reboot, even this morning it does not work and I had to redo the same boring procedure. [MENTION=8826213]slash_m_a_x[/MENTION] do you have an idea how to fix again?

Now I'm back to play service 12.8.74 and I have locked the auto updates from Titanium backup.
[Android Auto General] 0ren:
Can you please share with what applications you've used to get ML work with screen mirroring.
[Android Auto General] ktwo:
Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orR5QX3tJmg or similar videos.

Basically this relies on tricking a MirrorLink certified app to go back to homescreen, then there is no need to use any special apps. MirrorLink has a different concept of sharing apps, it does not use "crippled versions" of the apps, but mirrors the actual screen. The problem is: Only CERTIFIED an SIGNED apps can be mirrored.

I'm currently trying to develop a solution which should work with _any_ Mirrorlink certified phone, but it requires still some work and there will be 2 phones necessary for this to work. But basically you could use some cheap mirrorlink phone, and your regular phone for this.
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
On September 12, Google released the update to Android Auto. Unfortunately, AA is not available in my country. The apkmirror site doesn't have this latest version. Can you share the apk file here?

The question is also whether AA Mirror works on this version.
[Android Auto General] dragm:
Does your mic work with the method for MirrorLink? My screen mirrors fine, but I couldn't get the mic (and Ok Google) to work.
[Android Auto General] ktwo:
It doesn't work i think, but i dont need it , why would i use voice (which does not work most of the time in my language)

The mic works via car's system , probably this is the reason for it. Android-auto takes over car mic via canbus, but mirrorlink does not, so you would need to speak into the phone which is too far away
[Android Auto General] dragm:
Fair enough, I use OK Google commands often so I'd prefer to keep that functionality.
[Android Auto General] ciochi85:
Where do i get latest aamirror apk?

Anyone knows of any issue of AA with pie official on mido?

Hey guys,

Hopefully the mirroring through Android Auto will continue. It has really made AA so much better and I would like to see this thread continue to discuss progress (or challenges) with Android Auto.

If you decide to explore the Mirrorlink option, we should probably put that in its own thread. I started a thread a couple months ago where I posted what I had learned from other sources and from trial and error and made some progress. But I stopped when I found this thread as it seemed to be a few steps closer to a polished product. Anyhow, I post it here for reference and you are welcome to use that or atart somwthing new for Mirrorlink experimentation if you like.

[Android Auto General] ktwo:
Could we maybe elaborate on how to make custom-apps visible in the regular AA app again. There is the AAUnlock.apk, But id like to elaborate on how it does the u

nlock..This is the rooted solution, but better than nothing i guess.

There is the phenotype.db database, and this offers also some interesting stuff e.g a flag to disable the useless "please focus on the road" while browsing your media with REGULAR AA Apps. (As if this would improve road security. Really its SO ridiculous. No built-in car infotainment system restricts a user like that)

However the "whitelist" entry does not seem to work reliably.

Understanding this would make it possible to create a better unlocker, which also considers stuff like the VERSION of AA, and GPlay Services. The unlocker seems to hardcode a version for the DB Entry
[Android Auto General] thakki:
Great information. I was able to whitelist the apps again. Not sure whether the settings will persist in restarts / after a day.

Thanks,

[Android Auto General] 0ren:
So with this explanation, is it possible to "unlock / white-list" CarStream app ? And guide how to do that?

I'm running AA mirror on a xiaomi 5X, the environment informations are:

ROM: stock MIUI 10 8.9.13 dev (android 7.1.2)

GAPPS: opengapps

Root: magisk

Google Play service version: 13.2.80

Android Auto version: 3.5.583024

Car: Buick Velite5 (Chinese version of second generation Chevrolet volt)

I managed to make AA mirror working by unlock and convert AA mirror into system app (or you‘ll get a black screen). No I can run AA mirror by tap the speedometer icon and tap-to-run some app. Problem is when an app was launched, I can not touch control it on my car screen, I should operate it on my phone screen. Anybody who knows how to fix this issue? Thanks.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Ensure that AA-Mirror has root privileges.

Not sure if a system app has root privileges automatically
[Android Auto General] 9h05t:
What is the latest AA version that works with this version of GPS without the need to redo the annoying procedure?

I read about converting AAMirror to a system app.

Do you think converting both AAMirror and AAUnlock to system app would help?
[Android Auto General] slash_m_a_x:
Need to find and disable the service that does the phenotype flags sync with google servers, or some other way to bypass this dial-home bull****.
[Android Auto General] ktwo:
Ah okay, yea or as an alternative, maybe try to have some service always check if the flags are still in DB, and update them.. Can AA be made to re-read the DB without rebooting the phone? Probably by force-stop Play services i guess.

Is there a thread somewhere of how to make this work? I've got an s7 and a 2017 chevy silverado. I searched and couldn't find instructions on how exactly to mirror my screen. It looks like yall are not plugging in but connecting over wifi?
[Android Auto General] texz71:
It's all in this thread. I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 w/ 8" Infotainment system and it works good enough for me (on both my Unactivated-Rooted Verizon S4 on Lollipop 5.0.1 and my AT&T S7 Flat on Oreo 8.0, rooted). Works with latest Google Play Services and AA versions using the latest AAmirror and AAunlock. Its not perfect...the average user is going to tear their hair out with the instabilities and incompatibilities...you have been warned.

You have to be hard plugged in with USB.

Steps that worked for me:

1) Root Phone/Tablet

2) Install Android Auto (optionally enable Developer mode for other tweaks/settings)

3) Install and run AAmirror and AAunlock, Apply AAunlock(grant any SU priviliges if/when asked)

4) Plug in phone USB to vehicle AA Supported USB port

5) GM Infotainment System: select Android Auto Icon, then gear icon on lower right corner of vehicles AA displayed session (I think...I have to double check later...going by memory) and select AAmirror (grant any SU priviliges if/when asked) on vehicles AA displayed session. Boom...should work from there.

...I installed a screen rotator on my phone to get proper landscape display up on the main icon screens of my phone.

[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Google keeps resetting the database. Just re-run aa unlock, reboot, and it will appear. If not, I found that you have to go into apps and delete all data for Google Play Services and then re-run AA unlock.

Sometimes AA unlock did not seem to unlock AA mirror for some reason. I found that deleting the GPS data and then immediately re-running AA unlock seemed to work.

Cheers,

Although some dedicated apps from tv networks can disable their services when they detect a rooted phone (i.e Canal+ or mytf1 in France)
