Ok thank you for this information. I will try it again and change the cabel too

ama i need to setup BT (bluetooth) MAC address or only Wifi SSID ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GO0LDY:
You only need to link you master phone to the car once before this setup

And according to the method you will follow, you just need to open hotspot in one phone and link other phone's wifi to it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pioneer4x4:
OK, just getting into this, I have a Samsung Note10+ I use for Android Auto (wired on 1 car, wireless on another).

I have an old Samsung Note 3 with no Sim, running Android 5.0, NOT rooted (I would love to but, Verizon...)

Is this enough? Do I need to install anything on my current real phone, or only on the old one?

Slave = device connected via USB to the Car, right?

Master = Actual phone you use and want to connect to the car wirelessly, right?

Also, I cannot start hotspot on my "slave" Samsung Note 3 due to no sim installed, but I can connect to the hotspot on my current "master" Samsung Note10+
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pioneer4x4:
I have tried this, and so far the car doesn't recognize AA as being active at all when connecting the Slave phone, only when my newer phone is connected via USB.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GO0LDY:
Try below steps and update us

1. Link ur master to the car with usb cable (just to let the car recognize ur phone)

2. Donwload Aastarter from Olivluca page on github on Master and open it

3. Download aagateway from the same page and leave 1st option as is "listening mode"

4.open hotspot on slave even no sim card inside and wifi on master and connect

5.attach ur slave to the car with usb cable if a prompt msg appears, select always use aagateway

6. Now it should connect wirelessly and some confirmations should appear on phone and car

*If the wireless connection happend u can now follow below steps to just use master hotspot and internet

1. Close aastarter app no need anymore

2. Open AA developer settings and Start Headunit Server

3. Open aagateway on slave and change 1st option to "connecting mode"

4. Open wifi on slave and hotspot on master and once connection done plug ur slave via usb cable to the car and the same wireless connection should happend
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pioneer4x4:
Thanks for the reply! I'll putz some more for sure, but before I get that far, step 4, it will not let me...

And I love this old Note3, I have a triple battery on it, and with everything off it will last 82 days between charges!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pioneer4x4:
OK, since I can't do a true hotspot, I found a hotspot app which appeared to work. My Master (new phone) connected to the WiFi on the Slave (old phone, no sim)

Nothing happened at step 5, also, clarification, on step 3, which phone/device should aagateway be installed on Master or Slave? If Master, it wouldn't install, but I will try again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GO0LDY:
Aa gateway should be installed on slave

Ana also hotspot should be from slave as per step 4
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pioneer4x4:
OK, that is how I did it with no luck. I'll see if there is another device I can try with, maybe a tablet or something.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wyt18:
On AA 6.7, I used to have this working perfectly, including Screen2Auto over AAGateway

Since AA forced an update to 6.9/7.0, the wireless connection via AAGateway starts to stutter, and Screen2Auto crashes the moment I start using an app that streams video (like YouTube)

Anyone else experienced this and any fixes to share? thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TF666:
Since Google announced they're going to kill off AA, is there actually any replacement app on the phone side which would enable us to send data from apps like Sygic over AA protocol to the head unit in the car?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tamil18:
I've got a question about the Olivluca.

Does it turn on and off the Hotspot? 🤔 Because mines the Hotspot stays on. And mine note 2(slave) the battery drains.

Now with covid19, we don't drive the car sometimes for couple days. So it's empty when I'm in the car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Khanhtx:
hi, i had tried many ways, almost can be connect AA, almost func can be use but only google assistant can not use when hotspot on 2.4Ghz, GA all time recognize incorrect. When i changed to 5Ghz recognize not good, sometime recognize incorrect, when i connect with wire, all thing is normal

Anyone have this trouble. And how to fix it?

And when i use slave is hotspot, it not have internet, how to config master connect to internet. I had turn on switch to mobile data with master

i also use BPI M2 zero too, i connect ok, every thing is ok only trouble with google assistant and connect internet when slave is hotspot
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mairchik:
Hi,

Could you please share how you managed to make it work ?

I am struggling with my Kia Niro that might be also your case and have similar problems you reported before, shows as connected but nothing on KIA's display.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards

I somehow just found this App last night but have been using Screen2Auto for close to a year.

Working great for me, couldn't believe it first time no issues. I have the latest Android Auto from the Playstore 7.1.614574 and used the new AAEASE method to install Screen2Auto. Tried Netflix, YouTube, IPTV and all work with no stuttering or app crashing.

Master is running Pie or above and slave is tethering:

Running in root mode: slave yes, master no

If running in non-root mode, is the splashscreen visible on the car:

If running in non-root mode, did you set the masters BT inside AAGW app?:

Did the slave actually turned on the hotspot on the slave: yes

On the master did you select the slaves BT in the Wifi Launcher app?: yes

When the master connected to the car's BT did the Wifi launcher app started up?: yes

Did the master connected to the slaves hotspot?: yes

Did the AA icon appeared on the master at all (in the notification bar)?: no

Redmi 2 with Lineage OS is the slave, rooted. Redmi Note 10 is the master.

When I attach the slave, nothing happens on car screen. The slave defaults to only charging through USB, when I change this to anything then the car screen shows the usual 'connect to android auto' message - but nothing else happens on either phone.

I changed the default USB mode to file transfer, now when I connect slave then car displays the connect android auto message, but still nothing else happens. The master is connected to slave's hotspot, AA is not started. If I start AA now manually, then it works on phone screen - but car does not see any AA connection
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ronnie141:
Any solution for this?

My master is a OnePlus 9 pro OOS 12 whereas the slave is a ROOTED Redmi Note 3 AEX (11). I've tried every combination and in non rooted mode nothing even happens at all. The screenshot below is from the rooted mode.

TIA

I have the same problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wyt18:
Thanks for sharing... would be great to try out your mod apks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GO0LDY:
Thanks for your efforts.. for the data connection problem you mighy easily use a vpn app called Speedify, it is working like sharm and no need to do extra efforts with this if you are using slave hotspot, the app will choose automatically the data connection available to run other apps even if the slave does not include a sim card.. and also you will still keeping the aagateway running smoothely
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Hey, thanks. Yeah I did look at speedify actually, my issue was lack of control to set it only when I connect to aa. There are ways to do that via tasker but I never like the screen craping type approach. I couldn't leave it on all the time due to the 2GB monthly cap and it wasn't worth the £9.99 a month to sign up to premium for me.

I always judge this stuff by how confident am I it will just work for the wife if I am not there, any risk it could go wrong and I bin it :)

Unless I didn't give it enough of a chance? Would be good to know your experience, if I haven't tried it properly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
No worries - I never loaded em to git... was too busy playing locally.. I'll sort in next few days and share link

If you cant Lipippo's working you are unlikely to get mine working, mine just let you have a bit more control of when to connect and use an intent to trigger (which I do in tasker).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GO0LDY:
I am using the other method of connection to have hotspot from the master (no need for speedify at this point), using aagateway in connecting mode, the only pitfall is that you need to activate "headunit server" daily

Here is my older post

i also follow your way and my main phone sam sung s21 ultra android 12 ran aa on mazda3 car. my slave phone is blackberry priv with no sim card. Please note that the battery restriction for aagw must be removed on the slave device. After 2 attempts I succeeded
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
I've uploaded to git and taskernet and stuck details on git
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wadams1:
i tried installing your versions with no luck. Is there any other configuring needed within tasker once installed?

i found some bluetooth settings and replaced yours with my car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
When you import the project it should ask you all the settings you need to set, like bluetooth device. How did you import it?

Have you set all the permissions tasker needs? What's the tasker logs say, how far does it get?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tejusdas:
Big thanks to you @lipippo! This works great!

Although there seems to be a timing issue. The slave doesn't seem to connect to the master hotspot fast enough before the android auto request is sent to the slave. So I just get the error message after about 5 seconds that the device is not compatible with android auto. The slave eventually does connect to the master hotspot and launch AA on the master, but the head unit is already past the AA init sequence. It works again as soon as I unplug the cable and plug it back in.

Anyone else faced this issue? Any thoughts on how to fix this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Yeah that's why I changed the app and put it into tasker so I can managing the timings...

2- I tried hotspot in main phone no luck

3- ı tried olivalıuca apk and change listening mode no luck

4- I tried non root method no luck.

Any idea?

Hi Emil... thanks for this amazing post.

I am having problems with my op3 (not-rooted).

When I connect it to headunit on my car (toyota corolla cross) it displays Android Auto for a second and then says that Android Auto disconnected..

I realized that the USB option is "charge only". If I change it to transfer files, it does that again, but after a seconf or so, it comes back to "charge only" and Android Auto disconneted is showed again.

Any suggestion??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Logicpro8:
Hey guys, been tracking this thread for a while looking at this great project. I have a few QQ's that may have been answered already. Using an old phone as the slave or TV stick, is there no way to expose the Android layer running on the device to display on the head unit. So the concept would be yes you can use AAGateway as a wireless AA solution but also expose the slave device Android OS to use as well?. Most of the cheap Chinese boxes seem to be able to do it, they will run either AA/Carplay or Full Android OS all displayed on the head unit.

Thanks guys.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pirisman:
Hi. Rooted my OP3. this is what is happening now.

I get a Android Auto error in Master... Communication error 2 - The phone and the csr are running incompatible software. (screenshot attached)

Any clue??

thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] guizzzmo:
Perfect.

Slave Phone : Xiaomi 9T Pro / Project Elixir OS 1.7 Android 12

( without SIM card )

Master Phone : Realme GT Master Edition : Realme UI 2.0 Android 11

( with SIM card 5G)

----_-------------_------

Both devices are rooted with Magisk 24.3 / (Safetynet fix, Pixelify, AdAway, LSposed, LuckyPatcher)

From scratch with all bluetooth appairr removed:

1- Just install this apk of AAGateway on slave device https://github.com/mikeeq/aagateway/releases/tag/refs/tags/v0.1.0

2- Launch App and configure "Connecting Mode"

3- On master device, make hotpost wifi AP and connect to it your slave device.

(I made a 5ghz network to Wifi 6 standards)

4- Always on Master Device,

Go to Developper Option of AA to

"start head unit server"

5- Then, plug on car's USB your slave device

6- Android Auto detect directly your master device

7- Android Auto ask for bluetooth. (Sometimes it cause disconnect but just make the link and after that disconnect usb cable and reconnect the slave)

8- Perfect stable AA Wireless with audio bluetooth without latency and phone call and navigation of course.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bastyano:
Hello,

sorry for my english.

I'm trying to use aagateway without success.

slave: lg f70

master: samsung note 8.

I've tried in my car and in a tablet (using headunit reloaded). the services start well but the problem is that Android auto in master stops every 5 seconds, then AA reboot and stops in loop.

Any ideas to solve this issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] abemore:
Please help 🥺

Master: Pixel 4a Android 12

Slave: Nexus 7 Android 5.1.1 stock rooted

Car: 2021 Toyota RAV4 hybrid

Slave is running AAWifiGateWay 2.2

Slave Running in root mode: Yes

Did the slave actually turn on the hotspot on the slave: Yes

On the master did you select the slaves BT in the Wifi Launcher app?: Yes

When the master connected to the car's BT did the Wifi launcher app started up?: Yes

Did the master connect to the slaves hotspot?: Yes

Did the AA icon appeared on the master at all (in the notification bar)?: No

Master Wi-Fi launcher notifications says "looking for car display"

There have been a few times where master looks like it is switching to a new app that is a black screen and then it disappears immediately

When slave asks which app to launch (AAWifiGateWay or Android Auto), after choosing AAWifiGateWay and Always, master displays red screen error "Communication error 2 - The phone and the csr are running incompatible software." (same as @pirisman)

I've also seen a white dialog box appear on slave directing me to the Toyota app on the Play store

Also some message occasionally appears on car display (I think it mentioned Android Auto)

I followed the instructions for "Getting rid of all automation and manually starting it all (regardless of Android version on master and slave)" and slave just keeps turning its Wi-Fi on and off
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gullzway:
I've found somewhat of a solution to the No Internet problem when connected to the slave device. Other than paying for Speedify.

If I connect my Pixel 6 Pro to my slave(with no service) running AAGateway, I can run AAStarter on the Pixel 6 Pro and wireless AA works.

But you Can Not set the master to connect to the slave hotspot automatically or it will Not work with the Masters LTE data anymore, it will only try to use the slave. This means I have to manually connect to the slave hotspot and leave that popup window about "no internet" open.

I also have to unplug the slave and replug to car everytime for AAStarter to connect, not sure why.

So I start the car, slave(hotspot left on) connects to car. Connect master to hotspot and start AAStarter. Unplug slave and plug back in, then AA from the master appears on car screen. I have Windscribe VPN, but not sure if I can set it to use only mobile.

Here's a pic of the message about no internet on the slave hotspot.

Edit: I was able to get AA Wirelessly working through the slave hotspot without unplugging it. I just had to connect to the slave hotspot manually with AAStarter running on master. Then I started the car and the screen came on and connection to master with AA running worked!

Now I just need to learn how to create a task in Automate to connect to the hotspot(maybe not possible on Android 10>) and start AAstarter automatically.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
I actually managed to make it all work pretty well with the tasker stuff, I was using mobile data only apps to solve the no internet issue, you can set them in tasker, so basically just create a list of apps you want to have access (or just all) and tasker set them as mobile data only apps while master connected to slave hotspot...

but I stopped doing all that cause of something @GO0LDY said about connecting slave to master. I had tried so many times and never got it to work... but had to try again as confirmed had it all working... and then I did get it working. I had not appreciated I had to manually start the HUS, I thought AAstarter was doing that... Oh well, anyhow...

Now I realise that and can make it work, so slave to master means full internet works!!

So been playing and reworked the aagwateway app so that it waits for USB adapter AND WiFi connection so it starts the aa hacker service only when both are ready... pretty much there with it now, prob ready for a few other users to test if anyone interested?

NB you need slave rooted as I need to toggle the usb and cant see a way to do that without root (open to suggestions)

You also need the HUS running on master of course (and wifi tether) which I've automated both in tasker

If anyone is interested shout up and I'll load to git/share link

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:

I'm just sorting out some clean up, it works perfectly on one device in one car, other device in other car, not so good. Just sorting that and I'll upload.

You don't need Tasker for what I have built, it just helps. Once I have finished a re-write to get this working better I'll upload to git
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
OK here is my rebuilt app for waiting for usb and wifi connection before starting aawireless.

This is purely for this who want to connect slave to master wifi tether so you keep your data connection on master

Its not perfect, but it works pretty flawlessly (minimal testing) in one car and is ok in the other. So more work to do

aawirelesswifi

@ghannaiem let me know how you get on (and anyone else that tries)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wyt18:
Do you still install aastarter on master? Or this modified aagateway on both
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Just install this on slave. Take a look at the readme, all info should be there. Can update if any feedback
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ghannaiem:
thanks so much for sharing . i'll give a try but most important thing how could you automate starting /stopping android auto server ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
That's not the most important thing. See if it works first. If it does, run the hus manually and never turn it off. No need to

I'll share the how to automate it at a later stage
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ghannaiem:
works perfectly !! tried several times . with car ignition on - off ... no more start stop server needed ! in the original apk i need to stop then restart aa server every time to make wireless projection work . that made me think about server automation thing . i also will give another try tomorrow after deep sleep of the head unit and see how it works !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
How are you toggling wifi tether on master?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ghannaiem:
using macrodroid

when master bt connects -- tether is on

also macrodroid in head unit to connect to master bt when ignition is on

so , ignition is on >> headunit connects to master bt >> master toggle the tethering on
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Yeah that will do it... the reason I ask, is the wifi turning off on master when bt disconnects makes the HUS end gracefully. Which is what we want (and keeps it working next time)

I've tried to add some stuff to the code to make the connection end gracefully when service on slave ends, but its not flawless.

so if you unplug slave while its all running, you will find you likely have to restart HUS on master before it will connect again. Haven't figured out how to do that more gracefully yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
@ghannaiem (and anyone else that cares) Just released a new version. Logging stuff is all cleaned up and also persistent..

So if you turn it on in the UI, it will update itself to current state when you reopen app

Also, some tidy up and bug fix (I found a timing issue with turning wifi on/off in certain circumstance, fixed!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
And another update, added all the permissions buttons and updated ui.... Ok think I am done for a while unless get any feedback on here..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ghannaiem:
that one (version 5 ) force closes after usb connected . tried clearing cache + data .. reinstall .. same problem

..all other previous versions work fine
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
Yeah had the same problem. Found it, fixed it but fighting another issue in our other car/phone.

I'll stick an update up later this week
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
ok @ghannaiem v0.6 is up... this should all work fine.

I've fixed the issue in 0.5 and added some wake lock stuff and other bits... You will now see the updated UI you were supposed to get in 0.5
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] north3221:
@ghannaiem v0.7 is up. I think I worked out how to gracefully close the connection with master, so now it wont break the HUS connection if slave disconnects. Tested a couple of times but could do with some more testing.

Can you install it and see how you get on too?
[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 versions and only thing that some times after 3 succesful 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 "
