Sorry for radio silence been busy as hell, advert video is filmed we did run into some low level usb related problems with some of the beta testers so in the last few days we spend between 12 and 16 hours per day trying to get to the bottom of it (no joy yet). For some it worked like magic from first try, so there are still things which we need to iron out.

Will try to give you an update today or tomorrow, also working on the webpage and so on.... not enough hours in the day.

Anyone in Canada want my MK809V stick? I'm giving up on mine - worked flawlessly for a month and then a AA update screwed everything and I can't seem to figure it out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] swear0730:
My thoughts exactly so I decided to try my Nexus 6 as the slave unit since I had to retire it because the camera had the DTs and the volume down key tends to get stuck.

I can't get this setup to work for me but I'm convinced I've missed something. Would be so nice if I understood what Bluetooth is used for and what wireless work is being done. Anyway...

I have the July '19 release of Bliss ROM (android 9) on the Nexus 6(slave) it and I'm using my Pixel 4XL for the master with stock ROM (August update) and Elemental X kernel (also August update).

* Slave turns on hotspot (HUR) and turns off it's wifi.

* Master connects to HUR and reports the connection has no internet.

* Master connects via Bluetooth to both slave and to the car.

* Master launches AA but does not project to the car's screen.

So, everything I would expect to happen is happening except screen projection.

I have some questions:

1) Where should the Android Auto app be installed? On the master only, slave and master, or slave only? My assumption is master only but the slave lets me know that Android Auto is available for this phone in a pop up.

2) In the "Developer options" should USB debugging be enabled, disabled or doesn't matter? Currently enabled.

3) In the "Developer options" what should the default USB configuration" be set as? It was set at "No data transfer" initially. I've changed it to "USB tethering". Is that ok? Or should it be "File transfer"?

4) In Android Auto settings (or in connection preferences, driving mode) what should be set in "Car Settings"? Other than turning on screen projection are there any other settings?

5) When bluetooth pairing master and slave does it matter from which I initiate the pairing?

Hoping somebody can shed some light. TIA
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Genebaby:
I never got it working but I don’t think the slave needs AA installed, its job is to pass through and project the AA from your master.

Having AA installed on the slave would confuse things as it’s directly connected and your master is not.

Another thought I’ve been having is support from manufacturers as their infotainment units can be pretty sophisticated and you would think they would be able to do this in more cars. It is coming through now but surely it could have happened sooner.

Two years ago I almost bought a Skoda and I realises that the infotainment system had wifi ability so I wondered if they could do wireless AA with a fW update. This would effect many cars.

Now I actually have a VW with the similar system and the thought is there again. Would be nice if they could do it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4numen.:
Any thoughts on this? I have mk809v with android 5.1.1.

Same issue I guess, everything turns on & connects except slave-car usb connection. Looks like usb on mk809 is not toggled, as car does not see it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Hateislove:
It's crazy how hard you've been working on this. I hope it pays off when you're finished. Good luck!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jimsey:
Most car manufacturers dont add new features with software updates, they just fix security bugs and reported issues. they would rather reserve new features to entice you to buy new models.

I keep a close eye on this and only know of BMW and Tesla who are retrospectively adding new features to their software updates. BMW recently added wireless Android auto to some of their recent models which were wifi capable.

I have a Peugoet 5008 which has wifi direct, wifi hotspot capabilites etc, i emailed Peugeot and they said they despite the hardware being capable, they have no intention of implementing wireless android auto retrospectively via a software update.

this is all good news for Emil, as i suspect his device will be aimed at cars manufactured between 2016 and 2021/22, I suspect many of next years models will have wireless AA built in.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] the1dynasty:
Acura pushed an update a few months back that enabled Android Auto because the vehicle only came with Apple CarPlay originally... It would be amazing for them to enable wireless for both... As for Tesla, I have a Model 3 and would LOVE to be able to use Android Auto in my car even if it's wired...

SOLVED: Had to revert to Android Auto v.5.3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] prabhjots:
Sure! I'd be interested in trying to figure it out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] apoorvchandra:
That worked! I downgraded from 5.5 to 5.4, but now on 5.2 and its working again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4numen.:
Hi Emil, any chance you could include info on confirmed working version of Android Auto on 1st page?

This could save some unessesary queries.

Taking the opportunity, BIG THANK YOU for developimg this app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rag3:
Not sure this is a generall problem with AA version, I'm running 5.5.602944-release and all is working good with an MK809V on 5.1, samsung s9 on 10.0 and skoda octavia 2019. So maybe something else.

(Using tasker to initiate projection though as Wifi launcher did not work for me)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4numen.:

Trying to get this setup with a MK809V, do I need to root it and if so does anyone have a guide?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PeQuEsan:
Success with an old rooted Samsung Galaxy J320FN, with Lollipop 5.1.1. VAG RCD330 headunit. I first tried non rooted, but it didn't work.

Sometimes first connection doesn't work and I must force a second try through headunit display, but that's something you can leave with.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] apoorvchandra:
Hey [MENTION=2637038]JohnnyCanuck[/MENTION]. It was an AliExpress link posted by another user a few pages ago - sorry I don't have it handy right off the bat. Came to Canada within 2 weeks though.

Okay I've got it working using a Raspberry Pi 4 and Tasker but one issue I'm having is I still have WiFi when I get in my car so it won't switch over the Pi's WiFi as it doesn't have internet, how can I make it switch over when HUR appears?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4numen.:
Thanks lots!

Played with it but no luck. I've created a profile wich activates when slaves bt is near master. Sticking with AA 5.3 and wifi launcher for now.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DragonQ:
Well I tried putting the hotspot on the master and having the slave connect to it, but the AAGateway app on the slave just crashes and restarts every time it connects to the hotspot.

I still haven't figured out a way to get my master (Galaxy S10e) to keep mobile data enabled while connected to the WiFi hotspot, something you say should be possible on Android 9+. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seburton:
Just tried AA getaway today.

Same as you, any time slave connect to wifi (master hotspot) AAGateway crash.

Master : galaxy S10

Slave: Oneplus 3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ci6i:
I guess you need to "forget" your home wifi if it's still in range.

Can you please share the link to Android image you used on R Pi 4 ? Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ScrapMaker:
Samsung has had a feature for many years in the wifi settings to allow this. Others do not have this, IIRC. That being said, if you're flat out seeing crashes, then this specific topic is irrelevant because you're not getting that far.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DragonQ:
There aren't crashes (as far as I can tell) when the master is connecting to the slave's hotspot. It just means Google Maps has no traffic data because the hotspot is not providing a data connection to the master. So my choices currently are: hotspot on master = crashes, hotspot on slave = no data connection (and the head unit only seems to recognise AA is ready intermittently).

I have a Samsung S10e but cannot see any options relating to keeping a mobile data connection whilst connected to a WiFi with no internet. My previous Galaxy S5 with LineageOS did this automatically, funnily enough.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] D/\SH:
[MENTION=4315660]DragonQ[/MENTION], I'm having the exact same issue as you (the gateway on the slave crashes the second WiFi connects.

I'm on a OnePlus 5 for the slave and pixel 4xl for the master.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schlotboeller:
Hi DragonQ,

i use a Samsung S10, look under Settings/Connecions/DataUsage/Apps that use always Mobile Data (German Translation)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DragonQ:
Hmm, might work, but only with an auto-toggle. Not much point using wireless AA if you have to mess with a bunch of settings every time. Faster to just plug the phone in.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schlotboeller:
Yes it's much faster to plugin a cable, thats the reason why this threat has 313 pages ...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] choward1996:
Yeah couldn't get the Pi to tether so trying with the MK809V again but can't make AAGateway a system app, it just removes the app. I don't know if it's because it's running Android 7 instead of 5. Anyone had this issue? Seems it also doesn't support hotspots, no setting in settings for it and Tasker can't force a hotspot either.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Anyone know a definite slave that works flawlessly? Just want this working now
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DragonQ:
Obviously it's more convenient to use wireless if it's seamless. Having to fiddle in the settings is not seamless in the slightest. Not trying to deride this great project, just stating facts.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] reset Knox note 2:

How do you make sure it sticks to a lower version? I have tried sideloading lower versions with APKMirror APKs and it always updates to latest version before initial start (and refuses to start without update).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paplo:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] titanratsms:
No. I am waiting for a kickstarter now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paplo:
Yeah guess I do too then. Too risky trying to buy another stick xD
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4numen.:
I had to install from apk (no official aa in my country), therefore no auto updates and not an issue for me.

You can try below & see if it works (found on google):

Open Google Play.

Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left.

Tap Settings.

Tap Auto-update apps.

To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] prabhjots:
I didn't install from play store, and I have auto update off too.

However, when I start AA for the first time, it refuses to run without updating. The blue screen comes from within AA, and clicking "Accept" downloads the update. It refuses to run if I cancel the update
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rag3:
You may try also downgrading the other apps displayed... maybe there are dependencies
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
I'm pretty sure that the last Google app brings big changes to AA.

You should downgrade Google and then AA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pavichokche:
That's awesome! How did the AA experience on the head unit feel in terms of responsiveness compared to using a cable? Were there any audio stutters or pauses?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ScrapMaker:
Once the creators feel the solution is solid enough, I'm sure they will share a great level of detail. Currently the testing is all over the map, so no promises should or could be made, other than they are working tirelessly on the project.

It's not my place to say, but I can't fathom it would be reasonable to share any of the intellectual property with the broader community until the owners do it themselves.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4numen.:
Will it work on pi zero w?

I like its form factor overer pi4
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Spindlewood:
Very small sample size running with it, but I didn't experience any delays or stuttering.

As ScrapMaker says, they are working tirelessly on the project and no details to share until they are ready. The point of my post was to share my stoked energy about the project . After two years of following this thread, I know it would have encouraged me to read of successes. But don't take this as a hint of timing or anything else.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Swap_File:
After waiting ~75 days for shipping, my MK809 V arrived. It was running 5.1.1 like they stated in the listing (I didn't request anything special), and it came with super SU preloaded (already rooted). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32731063077.html

I followed the "SLAVE SETUP" and "MASTER SETUP" case 1 directions. Setup seemed to go well.

During in car testing, everything acts like it should work, right up until the connection is established, and then my head unit displays the message "This device does not support media function."

According to what I see on google, this is a generic error message people see when vehicles from Kia & Hyundai do not like the Android Auto device you have plugged in. I've got a 2019 Kia Stinger (USA) with the latest head unit software (V14.5). I don't have another Android Auto compatible vehicle to test with.

Any ideas?

VAG Success

Although I am waiting patiently for the hardware solution, thought I would go back and try one more time with an old phone. The secret sauce was using Emil's VAG specific version of AA Gateway for my 2018 Audi RS3. I have made it work with two different slaves:

Slave 1:

Samsung Galaxy SIII

Android 5.1.1 (SlimRom) - Rooted

AA Gateway 2.0.6 - VAG Specific​

Slave 2:

Motorola Moto Z

Andoid 9 (LineageOS) - Rooted

AA Gateway 2.0.6 - VAG Specific​

Master:

Samsung Note 10

Android 10 - Unrooted

Using Tasker not WiFi Launcher​

The Tasker task is the one posted by Emil in the OP. The difference in the two slaves is simply lag and responsiveness. The Moto Z (for obvious reasons) is a much better performer in this respect. In both cases, hotspot is on the slave. The other advantage of the MotoZ is that it supports a 5GHz hotspot which is clearly better for this application. On both slaves I disabled all unnecessary apps to increase responsiveness.

I got the VAG specific version from Emil by emailing him. [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION], I know you're busy with the kickstarter and I will definitely be purchasing it, but in the meantime if you have a VAG specific version of the current release (2.2.0) that would be awesome.

For anyone with a VAG vehicle (Audi/VW for sure) try the VAG specific version to see if that resolves your issues.

My guess would be that they got the board onto a wifi network. Could be sourced from board, phone, or even externally with both devices attached. (shooting from the hip here.)

I am curious to test HUR again on my tablet setup in my other car. I tinkered with it like 2 years ago, but decided the raw Android experience was much better, especially since I could use steering-wheel shortcuts to launch everything I wanted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

Sorry for being radio silent on here, there was a lot of activity going on with the testers and not only and just not enough capacity to dedicate time to everything.

Our wesbite is almost ready, really need one or two very small changed and we are good to go (don't want to share it till kickstarter is not also up) so you don't have the disappointment that you can't pre-order. I have finally set up the kickstarter page now I'm waiting for identity validation from Stripe then we are good to go.

On the product, we did faced way more issues then we anticipated (reason of radio silence is we are working round the clock to try to get it to work on all devices).

We have managed to fix quite a few of the problems, currently we are battling one which is driver related and we do need the support from the board manufacturer to get to the bottom of this.

The stripe verification says it can take up to 3 business days, but as soon as that is done the project will go live and I will share the link with you guys.

Both Chiel and myself will be on holiday next week so we are really pushing it to get this as far as possible, so next week development will take a step back.

On the positive note performance of the device and experience generally seems to be good and the setup process is really easy (for those where it works :D )
