Great thanks. v0.7 should be smoother. Only issue is if slave loses wifi connection to master as the first disconnect, as no way for slave to tell master its gone...

Oh ok, whats carlink v2? I am not familiar, I thought that was a HU app that could already do AA wireless, am I mistaken?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ghannaiem:
ok i'll test and tell you . tried v6 couple of times and it is much better than previous versiom and only thing that some times after 3 succesuful connections . android auto screen not come up on the head unit until i force close hu app it self

, btw i'm using carlink v2 app in my hu , not the" head unit reloaded "

i am trying also some tweaks with macrodroid on both slave and hu

calink is very simple interface . i used it instead because it could routes bluetooth between phone and hu . unlike head unit reloaded that routes media only .. it is very easy and auto starts when connected to phone bluetooth . had no issues using but wireless lags , sometimes audio stuttering .. so i was hoping to find another way to make connection fast as wired . i'll provide you link to download if u want .. but i find it more wise to keep testing on both apps hoping to find the best approach

I use Moto G4 as slave and Pixel 3XL as master. It works perfectly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ghannaiem:
@north3221 ok version 7 seems more professional and connects fine but for me crashes after 2 minute or less .. tried all regular fixes ..still the same issue ... on a parallel way i am one feet of success with my carlink app !

still only one thing and i hope you'll help me fix it

my setup depends on

carlink app .. as head unit reloaded seems bulk . laggy , for me , at least ..but carlink .. it is more solid !

now ..

1- slave + car head unit

must be rooted + macrodroid or tasker installed (both )

2 - for master i figured out that i can use my samsung bixby without root . to initiate bt > location > hotspot stuff

so if your master is not a samsung you will need another root for master to install macrodroid instead

3- btw aa gateway used is the original one ! seems weird but the only one that worked with this tweaks !

this setup works 99.9 % and very stable upon several disconnections and deep sleeping of car hu ... but one thing still !

if i could slow the usb connection until slave is connected to master wifi only by 3- 4 seconds .. it will reach the 100% !

i dont know how to do that . and asking you if you can

can you mod the original aa gateway to only wait for usb for just few seconds until slave is connected to master wifi ?

modifying original apk to wait for usb ? is that possible ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Ok.. let's start with v0.7. it connects but crashes after a couple of mins? You got logging on? What's it saying?

Did you disable battery optimisation? Wonder if the service is being killed.

Master. I don't have mine rooted. No need for root on master, I do have Samsung but don't use Bixby for it as have more control with tasker. Tasker can toggle tether. And with adb WiFi you can do screen touches (how I automate hus)

As for the rest, that's exactly what I'm trying to do with this app, wait for usb and WiFi.

I did a previous mod that allows an intent to start the service. The issue I've always found is the car head unit tries to start android auto when usb connected, if hacker service can't connect to master at that point the head unit gives up. Hence it's needs the usb toggle once both connected to fool the head unit into thinking you reconnected the phone.

Sounds like if we solve your crash issue it's solved for you.

Weird previous versions didn't crash

Since Android Auto is not working anymore on smartphones using older Android Versions than Pie/8 I came back here.

Long time ago I tested this gateway to establish a connection between my old Samsung Note 4 and my Note 9.

It worked but it lagged to much, so that I would miss where I had to take a turn. So I just let the Note 4 work as AA device and kept it in my car. As it seemed to get slower and slower, I used an old Samsung S6 for the same purpose. Now it isn't possible anymore to use the S6 for AndroidAuto.

My unseccessful tests yesterday made me think, that the Android 7 on the S6 make it too old to use it as slave device in this scenario?

Whereas I got it to work with an old Samsung S8 as slave.

@north3221

Can you explain about the usb timing please?

I am kot using your software. I have this working very well and I created a widget that starts AA head unit server but the last thing I cannot figure out is the USB.

When I first get in my car and start it there is no device showing in android auto until I unplug and plug in my USB cable from my slave and then android auto will start wirelessly and work perfectly.

You seem to know what you are doing. Do you have a suggestion that may help me with my usb issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Hi

Thats exactly what my software does. It runs on the slave and toggle the usb once connected to master hotspot. Take a look at the readme on git all the info is on there. Let me know any questions

Hi

I am having a few issues.

Firstly every time I get back in my car I need to manually unplug and plug in the USB cable again to have the device show up in Android auto.

Secondly how do I examine the log to see why I am not always connecting consistently?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wyt18:
@north3221 's mod worked for me, thank you! For those who have issues, try clearing AA data and cache, and reinstall the modded AAgateway app

question: In the absence of working AA Tweaks on the latest AA 7.4 (and above) versions, has anyone tried changing the DPI of the head unit?

This could make the nav bar and icons of the app launcher smaller (one of my main issues with the AA interface is how much unnecessary real estate the icons take up)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wyt18:
@north3221 could you consider adding the dpi feature that is in the original AAGateway into your mod? Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] locossaurorex:
I will try, thanks for the tip
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wyt18:
Which version of aagateway were you using that worked best for you?

I tried v2.2, but it's not stable for me

@north3221 's works stable, but has no dpi change feature...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Did you provide all the permissions for the app? If so, did you try alternative usb toggle?

git tells you where the logs go, did you read it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Sorry what dpi feature? this has been working well for me so not been looking at anything. Let me know we can take a look
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wyt18:
The original AAGateway had an ability to trick AA into believing that it has a different DPI. This enables smaller sized icons, navbars, throughout the AA HU. With Coolwalk, it will also help trigger the widescreen UI on smaller HU screens, if DPI is set low enough

Thanks for considering this
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yatesie:
Hi

I thought I had read git but I'll go back and look again. Edit* yeah I am not seeing it. I am not a git expert so may not know where to go

I did provide all the permissions yes and I also tried the alternative.

Will have another look.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ankitpatel8055:
Hello,

I own a Samsung A50s and have experimented with various custom ROMs. I've found that the gateway apps created by @Emil Borconi and @north3221 work well, but only when there are no Google apps (GApps) installed on the slave device. You can try this method without GApps.

However, if I install any Open GApps version, neither AA Starter nor WiFi Launcher works on the master device. Nevertheless, all AAGateway functions properly if I manually start the head unit server from Android Auto.

Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] the gladiator:
I'm just facing this appealing topic but I'm wondering: is it well worth ?

I mean is it better this approach (as pro's I see more flexibility as it's possible 1) to manage everything through Tasker 2) to choose between a solution with hotspot on master or on slave) or a straight forward solution such as buying a dongle (es. carlinkit, aawireless or motorola ma1) ?

I'd love to hear your opinions
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ricardogoncalves:
Hy Guys,

I'm using the @north3221

version, and it's perfect with the root cell phone on the slave.

But I wanted it so that when the cell phone turns on it forces the connection with the car.

Because when the slave's cell phone turns on, it doesn't do anything until I click on the radio screen (INTELINK 9.0) from GM (opel).

And I wanted it to connect by itself and start by itself to the master cell phone and it doesn't.

Does anyone have a solution?

I have macrodroid on my slave cell phone for some automations, but I haven't found anything that solves this problem.

please someone help me

greetings

and sorry my bad english

How do you start head unit server automatically?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jhford:
No USB

I have a 2015 VW e-Golf with an MIB1 radio which doesn't have a USB 2.0 input. Now I am limited to attaching my phone to a magnetized air vent accessory and displaying Android Auto on the phone. It's better than a sharp stick in the eye, but I would prefer connecting my phone to the radio via USB and mirroring Android Auto to the radio's display. Will this help me? If so, how would I implement it? If not, does anyone know of another, more elegant solution short of buying a new radio which I won't do?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wowzors:
Good news and bad news. Good news is the device is connecting with the OTG cable and the flows and everything are running, I can tell it gets through it all and is connecting but the screen popped up saying unable to connect and to turn off Android auto for this device or disable this time.

I think the issue I am having is if I boot the stick up plugged into a monitor I can see it boots opens up settings connects to a PC gets checked but it never exits that setting. It then boots AAGateway and sits at the connect a PC screen, I believe it needs to exit that screen to get into the AAGateway screen to select a default option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
If you are rooted in the op the command is there to use in an su shell command with either tasker or auotmate, etc.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Salkod:
No it doesn't have to go into AAGateway, try to connect the stick to both OTG and power, and Check if that works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lukesan:
No, it doesn't work that way. The unit has to be AA compatible and the MIB1 is not. I'm afraid you are stuck. In my previous car I used an Nexus 7 which perfectly fitted over the RNS-300 vw radio with velcro and used android that way. Much much better, bigger screen and endless possibilities. Maybe worth to check that route.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jhford:
I have a Nexus 7 2013 Mobile/Wi-Fi to which I'm very attached. I don't think I'd want to Velcro it to the MIB1. How about an Amazon 7" Fire tablet?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lukesan:
Well I have the 2011 edition, but you certainly need a tablet with gps. But that is a bit off topic here. I would search some youtube channels to check the possibilities to check if it would be your thing.

Btw the Velcro was pretty cool. I could easily detach it when parked. I had the same Velcro on it for over 2 years and it Left no traces when I finally removed it and sold the car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
Not necessarily, if you use Headunit Reloaded on the tablet. Then you can use your phone's internet connection and GPS. HUR will work on an Amazon Fire, you just have to sideload it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mlkemac:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lukesan:
Damn, I forgot about the evolution in the last couple of years. Btw the screen of the tablet will be a lot better than that of your MIB1 for sure.

Seems like most of us in the US are using MK809iv sticks. I found one on Ebay for a little under $30. It's still a bit of trial and error getting it to work consistently, though. Expect about 1-2 minutes to get it booted up, connected to the mobile hotspot, and AA Gateway started. Read the instructions above on how to use Automate and Salkod's flows.

I'm curious if anyone has found a good stick that has a WiFi adapter capable of working in the 5 ghz band. My primary phone will do a 5 ghz hotspot, but the MK809iv is only capable of 2.4 ghz. I'm getting a little bit of audio cutout from time to time, I'm wondering if it's from my bluetooth adapter since it also uses 2.4 ghz.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bradhoschar:
You used Salkod's steps and didn't deviate from them? I only ask because I'm going to completely start over and try this again, and wondered if you cheesed this in any way.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wowzors:
Unfortunately following salkods I always end up with this message on my mk809iv.

[IMG="HU error"]http://i.imgur.com/wODQLTz.jpg[/IMG]

The stick is connecting as I see the USB in the top right corner. It seems like maybe there is an error in the step where it's supposed to select AAGateway as the default.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dhughes72:
Ok... it's been a few days. Here's my setup:

1. $35 Trac Phone (slave) from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0786QB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1); it wouldn't root but I did uninstall or disable every app I could from the phone. AAGateway is just about the only thing on there

2. Pixel 2 (master) with Android P Beta (most up to date version 4)

3. 2018 Mercedes C300

I had some trouble from the get go; I'd get it working then install a Hotspot App to automate hotspot and connection. I tried 2 of the ones listed in this thread and both seemed to jam me up. They'd connect, but the connection to Android Auto in the car head unit would always time out. I've given up on them and now when I enter the car, I simply mash the hotspot button in the notification bar and as soon as I see '1 device' connected, I hit the center console button in the car (I turned 'Start Android Auto Automatically' feature off).

I'm going to keep using the phone until it becomes tedious (maybe if the phone battery dies completely and requires a long boot every time I turn the car on or the heat/cold kills the connection entirely) but i'm perfectly satisfied with it this way. Hell, I'll buy a new cheap phone every year because I absolutely hate plugging that cable in... plus, I had tried 4 different cables and they were all dropping my AA 4-5 times every time I was in the car. This is heaven.

I haven't had any battery issues on my Pixel 2 (master) and it hasn't increased my data on Fi at all (though I haven't used google maps nav yet).

This is an alpha app and Im already happy... Mr. Barconi, you are a gentleman and a scholar. It only gets better from here!

[MENTION=8622479]Salkod[/MENTION] I've done everything you've said but I get an Error that Android Auto has Stopped on my Headunit. It's obviously connecting so I'm not sure what the deal is. I've tried it with a Kindle Fire that has AOSP on it and I couldn't get that to work either so I'm kind of wondering if there's an issue with my Headunit that doesn't like this. My Pixel 2 XL won't connect AA with a cable so I was hoping that this would get me around it. :( Using the same stick as you are. Thanks for all your work on with this!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
One thing I'm going to try is buying a small Raspberry Pi touch screen off of Amazon. They're relatively cheap, and they work with an HDMI input and micro USB power source. Should allow me to see everything that the stick is doing starting right at boot, instead of waiting to connect so I can use Teamviewer.

Here's an example of what I mean, although you can find smaller ones for about $20: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F3EKJIA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_HtOvBbDZ7E3DQ

Having it plugged into a screen and seeing it go through the motions i can see when it opens AAGateway a mesage pops up that says

"No defaults set for Android Auto USB"

App needs to be set as default action for Android Auto.

Edit: just me or is XDA redirecting to spam ads a ton lately.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
I factory reset my device and started over. Everything was working this morning when I manually selected "Connect to PC" and set AA Gateway as default when I got the prompt. After, I configured Salkod's flows and ran it again, and it has completely quit working for me. AA Gateway starts, but it doesn't trigger my head unit to launch Android Auto. I'm guessing right now that it has something to do with the steps to enable and/or disable USB.

I set up an old Moto X2 as slave and have a Galaxy S9+ as Master that normal connects via cable to a Pioneer Avic F80Dab. I'd reset the MotoX2 before installing the app. Had problems yesterday in that the 2 phones connected but couldn't get AA to load.

Had a fresh go today and having read something about usb debugging on this thread enabled it on both phones. Made sure head unit was booted up (just for first time connection) then connected the phones to each other making sure AA Gateway was running and finally plugged slave phone into usb lead to head unit. Error message about the phone popped up on head unit but noticed Master Galaxy phone was loading AA. Head unit then said continue setup via phone (or something) and once accepted the what I call 'new phone' setup and warnings, AA loaded as per normal on head unit. Switched on and off a few times and works like a charm. I'll see how it goes long term now. Thankyou very much Emil :cool: :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dhughes72:
I meant to say... I have an annoying problem with Google play services coming up; but when I stop it AAGATEWAY works great. thing is, the "force stop" option is greyed out. what I do is go into permissions for the app and uncheck microphone, then it usually goes away and doesn't come back until I restart the phone (which means restarting Android auto head unit server, which means Google play services starts again lol).

lather, rinse, repeat and I'm back to only having to turn hotspot on ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Salkod:
I think this is beyond my flows, perhaps either your headunit is acting up or a compatibility issue with AAgateway and your particular setup.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

The flows will only connect the USB and select the default, it seems here the problem is other than that. perhaps try a phone as a slave and see if that works instead of the stick.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

if you connect your stick to a TV and then connect it to your hotspot, do you see it toggle the connect to pc option?
