Yeah, also understand it only works if the head unit already rund android itself. Mostly after-market radios then, I guess.

Just stumbled across the following article regarding native wireless capability at least on the master side on samsung phones, others will follow as well I guess. Will that help us?

No, these only work for wireless CarPlay. There is no equivalent solution for Android Auto other than AAGateway.

Forget about stick, it will be a nightmare... Much better to connect android phone with 5 Ghz wi fi, it will be fast and stable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
ok, thanks a lot for the advice!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xsatquest:
Dammit...

I really want this feature and i am NOT holding my breath while waiting for this AAGateway to appear. At the rate it is progressing it will be ready in 2030 and at that time i will probably have a car that has this feature natively and my phone will connect via Wifi, and 6G data :)

Worst part of it all is that the AA enabled radio in my car actually have ALL the hardware that is needed for AA-Wireless, it's just needing the firmware to be upgraded, but there has not been a new firmware since 2017 and now the car manufacturer has just announced that from 2020, they will install a new and improved HMI unit in my model of car, so now they are guaranteed to never implement AA-Wireless.

But then again....It does not even seem like the new HMI units they put into the 2020 models will have AA-Wireless.

My best bet is that they wont add AA-Wireless as long as there is no native wireless support from apple for iphones.

If only someone was a master in WinCE programming, i bet he would be able to add AA-Wireless for the HMI in my car.

I have read through a large part of this thread, but at 162 pages I am sure my issue's been posted and I probably just missed it. My Master is a Pixel 3. I am trying to use a Motorola Moto Z as a slave. I currently am using AOSPExtended as the ROM (Oreo) and am open to a ROM suggestion that might work (Omni, crDroid, Lineage, Stock). My car is a 2018 Audi RS3 with the MMI Navigation Plus headunit.

When the slave first connects, I get the screen go blank as it would normally connecting to AA and then I get a notice to check the prompts on my device but there are none? It then kicks out of AA to the Audi connection manager. Any thoughts on how to get past this stage?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dogiex:
Tested with Xiaomi Mi 9 as master and Xiaomi Mi 3 as slave. Got it to work but MIUI doesn't like AAgateway even if I lock it to memory. Headunit will freeze in a second or in 10 minutes as the master device closes the app from background meaning this is useless for me [emoji24]

Was so exited when I got it to work.

Any MIUI users have any tips?

Hi all

All the meaning of this project is to achieve wireless automatically connection between master and slave. manually after some test i get connection but every time i start i have to do some restarts and plugging again the usb cable shortly to complicate,its more easy to plug to master and drive.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
It works fully automatically and smooth. I have just a few lags sometimes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] saspo59:
Do u have to plug the usb cable every time u start the car for trigger thr aa or not or its always connected to the slave and its gain the connection automatically after start the car?

Hi [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

If it helps I could test on my 2020 Kia Ceed! :)

Slave: OnePlusX or OnePlusOne

Master: Samsung S10

Car: Ceed GT MY2020

Kia Niro fail

Tested on Kia Niro 2020 (10.25" screen) without success.

Samsung S9+ as a master with Samsung J5 (2016 SM-J500FN) as a slave. Slave gives info that is connected to the master and car but car don't recognize a phone (cannot open Android Auto).

Two hours of testing a lot of configurations without success.

I think that android auto connection management from car side is changed in compare to the older models.

Is any chance for update this app? Idea is brilliant!

I'm going to buy mk808b but find out there are at least two versions of that sticks - with Rockchip RK3066 and with Amlogic S905 (mk808b pro).

Please advise me what type i have to buy?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
Forget about sticks, will work too slow.

Use 5GHz Wifi from smartphone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Golubev:
I don't want to use phone so i bought MK808IV RK3229 and already tuned it. Everything working well!

My master is Samsung Galaxy S10+, HU Audi Q7 M4. I've use Aagateway Alfa on TV Stick and Aagteway Beta on Master with 2 tasker profiles to set proper usb_otg state.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
It will work, but compare to 5 GHz Wi-Fi, it is work super slow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NYZack:
I disagree with that. I've tried both 2.4 and 5, and there's no clear difference. The wifi throughput on either band is way more than you need. Any slowness is more likely related to phone speed (either master or slave).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
No, it has massive effect on whole perfomance, especially on music in players like Deezer e.t.c.

Also, on 5 GHz you will have zero lag time while using touch screen.

Does anybody have Tasker command to auto lauch Aauto server after reboot?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Golubev:
I see no difference between wired and wireless (2,4Ghz) connections speed.

Has anyone with a Palm phone tested this out yet? I'd like something small so I can mount and hide it out of the way, and I'd rather not drop $100 if it's not going to work properly.

Can't connect

This does not work for me, using a Nokia 7 Plus (Android 9) as slave and a Pixel 3A XL (Android 10) as master. AAGateway notification on master remains on "Waiting for slave" while the one on the slave shows "Android Auto GateWay running". Tried both the Alpha and Beta versions on the slave, but no luck. Slave connected to master via hotspot (5G band) with no problems. Can anyone suggest any solution? Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] acrawle3:
Same here. And judging by the myriad of threads I wonder if anyone has actually got this to work on a regular and consistent basis. I must have spent the best part of 30+ hours trying to get the combination of an MK809IV (or a MK808B) TV Stick and mobile to work on an Audi A6 with AA. The idea is great but the implementation is appears very flaky. Despite numerous installs and uninstalls I still can't get past the Master "waiting for the slave" and the slave doing the best part of sod-all aside from "AA Gateway" has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell" whatever that means. I also receive a "no defaults set for Android Auto USB" on first set-up of the slave. A video of the set-up on both master and slave would be very useful if anyone has it.

Questions form me are.

2) Does Android Auto need to be on the slave device?

3) Should the master and slave connect when when not in the car (i.e using the TV stick on a TV monitor) so I can at least see the devices making a connection.

4) what initiates the Hotspot connection? The was working at one point but seems to have failed now.

5) Does the Slave need to have Bluetooth connection to the case or just the Master? I presume from the instructions Master only?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
Answering you first doubt: I'm using it multiple times a day and yes, it works great. The only point I have is related to the master really get hot!

On you questions:

2) yes

3) no, the app enable automatically the hotspot

4) the app ?

5) only master

I'm on a op7 pro as master and op5 as slave on an Alfa Romeo Giulia AA
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] acrawle3:
OK thanks Bugella,

I'm still really struggling to get this sorted. I'm using a TV Stick (MK809IV) as the Slave and I wonder if this s the real problem.

The master is a Xiaomi M1 A1 appears to be OK and the gateway seems to be waiting for the slave to connect.

Can you please confirm that it is the SLAVE that enables the hotspot on the MASTER phone. Are there any setting that need to be enable to achieve this as I can't seem to get the SLAVE to start the hotpost on the master and the connect?

When I'm in the house (not in the car) and I MANUALLY enable the hotspot (Master) the Slave does connect. However, the master still shows a pop-up every few minutes "Android Auto Gateway - waiting for slave?" Is that correct? Does this AA Gateway only connect when in the car?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
hello.

is this in active development or is outdated?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dogiex:
On question #2.

Master only needs AA and Gateway to communicate, not the slave one.

Slave gets all the information from Master through AAGateway and doesn't need AA installed.

This is how I understood the setup instructions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
This is active development. In case you are curious why the dev takes so long to come out with updates sometimes, image this. You are the sole developer for at least 3 apps used by thousands. Also this isn't your full time job but something you like to do and do make some money on in your off hours. You also have a family that you care about and want to be able to spend some time with in some of that free time. And you are just settling into a new home.

I don't want to seem angry at you, this is just the latest of several times this has been asked and this explained.

I do hope you stick with the developer as he really does the best he can.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
Sorry, my mistake: slave doesn't need AA at all, only the gateway.

I made confusion between master and slave :cyclops:

In addition in case slave has AA with Android 10 the first connection you need to set t he gateway as he default application to open when connected.

Also, be sure hotspot is well configured and the 2 mobiles are connecting !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
dont worry and sorry if my question sound impertinente, is not my intention.

i see the date of Last version and i thing this is abandoned.

i think this is a great great app!! and if Works beter the People pay more. I pay more!!!

i undertand that the develeper have a live, family and a Real work!! of course.

thanks for your Fast repply! and sorry the english is not my natural languaje .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suspenders715:
No worries at all. It gets hard on these forums sometimes when you hear the same questions over and over again, so sometimes it gets hard to stay completely calm.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
For those having trouble, trying email Emil. He has a newer test version that he emailed me and it works so much better than the latest through XDA Labs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RoyDaGeneral:
Could I use this for Wifi; Realtek Mini USB Wireless 802.11B/G/N LAN Card WiFi Network Adapter, which can be found on ebay for $3. I'm thinking of using this instead of an android TV Stick.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rpgreentree:
From my reckoning you could use the wi-fi stick inbetween the master and slave. I know of one that has done this in his truck that has a wifi router. Connect both the master and slave to the wifi stick instead of using tethering.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

Some updates, first sorry for radio silence, I had some guest for over 1 week, and I was under pressure to finish another (non car related project), plus the daily amount of emails I'm answering and the holiday prep left me with no times posting updates on XDA as well.

Sadly I wasn't able to go anywhere with KIA so I couldn't test the new version of the app there, but I got in way more responses from testers, and it seems that there are cars where it's really difficult to trick the car.... so I did a reflection on how this is all working and this is what's going to happen, app will run in 3 ways on the slave:

1) ROOT - with a few devices I can guarantee that they will work (of course many other slaves might work, but I can only ever test on a limited numbers of slaves), this should be compatible with almost 100% of cars/headunits. However this will mean it won't be compatible with obd2aa on the phone.

2) ROOT - with hack, this will probably work on most cars / headunits but might not, however if it does it will allow compatibly with 3rd party apps on the phone like obd2aa

3) Non-ROOT - will work on some cars/headunits but not on all.

Master will never need to be rooted.

App is in the works, and do expect a release between xmas and new year.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION], thank you for your super app, I love it so I purchased some times ago already.

Just 1 question: I don't have any specific issue with the app, except from the fact it really makes the master really hot... Is there anything the new version can solve about it?

Forgot to mention I'm using a op5 as slave and op7 pro as master on 5ghz hotspot network, both not rooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheCondorITA:
The slave Will be Always a dedicated device to act as gateway, so if we Need to root & hack that It's not a problem!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
Great news!

can you give a spoiler and tell us with are the "fee devices" for the first option?

The app is great and with this info i will buy one of this devices and obtain time buying now :)

thanks a lot!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rpgreentree:
Great news Emil.

Just a quick note. Has anyone else noticed that since the latest version of AA that AA Developer fails more regularly on connection. If yes have you been able to work around it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
No issue for me... Works like a charm
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LLStarks:
That's a nice write-up. What determines which mode the slave uses? Is it manual?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
So, I have it working pretty well. The car is a 2018 Audi RS3. My slave is a first gen Moto Z, rooted and running AEX (oreo based) for the ROM. My main phone is a Pixel 3 (not rooted).

I am using version 1.1 of the app which Emil emailed to me. The versions on XDA Labs did not work. I have used Tasker extensively to automate the setup pretty successfully. I have Tasker set up to start my hotspot, AA Gateway, and Head Unit Server. I have an exit task that shuts down the hotspot, force stops AA Gateway, and turns my WiFI back on. Without the exit task force stop of AA Gateway, I have to reboot my Master every time I want to do a new connection. The force stop and restart seems to resolve that issue.

I would attach the Tasker xml files for anyone who wants to use them, but they won't upload properly. I used AutoInput to make it work. They won't work without Autoinput.

I have also done some Tasker automation with the slave. On USB power connect, it force connects to my master's hotspot SSID. On exit, the phone will reboot after 10 minutes unless power is restored. I am not sure if it is necessary but I find I get the most reliable connections with a reboot of the slave and the master force stop/start of AA Gateway.

The only issue I am having is a bit of audio dropout but I think that's probably related to the USB cable I am using. Wired AA is finicky with cables in my car and because I need a longer cable run to hide the slave in my car, I used a cable I had sitting around. I have an Anker cable on order from Amazon that will hopefully resolve the issue.

One question that I have. AA Gateway allows me to vary the dpi to try and force widescreen. Does anyone know what dpi to use? As well, should that be set on the slave or the master?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
Do you use the latest verison of android auto?? After summer update, previous tasker command to automatically lauch Headunit server does not work, you have updated one for the last version of AAuto? If yes, please write command for tasker here, it will be a great help, because i also need to reboot my phone after few connections with AAgateway. Shutting down AAgateway and turning on when connected to car bluetooth helps, but not always. I aslo have pixel 3 like you.

Version 1.1 is the latest one? How can i get it if i already purchesed Beta version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
Using the AutoInput plugin to make Head Unit Server start:

A7: Launch App [ Package/App Name:Android Auto:Settings Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:eek:ff Always Start New Copy:eek:ff ]
A8: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:5 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A9: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
Value: More options
Action : Click Timeout (Seconds):23 ]
A10: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:2 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A11: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
Value: Start head unit server
Action : Click Timeout (Seconds):23

The version of AA is irrelevant because of how AutoInput works. The combo of auto-rebooting the slave (also using AutoInput) and force killing AA Gateway has it working pretty conisistently. I would post up the Tasker files but I keep getting upload errors.

Emailed Emil and he sent me the file.

X96 S TV Stick Issues

Is there something i'm missing because i followed all the steps in the initial config and my phone just hangs in waiting for slave and the slave is connected to the master via hot spot no problem and the android auto head unit server is running as well. I'm using an lg v35 as master and X96 S TV stick Rooted as the slave.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] morpho26:
Hi everybody,

I had the luck to test the new version of Emils new AAgateway,

My first Impression:

Connection works much better than the alpha/beta version from xda labs.

But Main issue is, that after Connection Of Master with Slave, the splash screen with "waiting for Master...." disappears but the Car monitor stays dark.

When i press the cars home button i get back to homescreen. trying to get Android Auto back is without success. Nothing happens after touching Android Icon. Audio works ok.

Do somebody else have this Issue?

Can somebody explain what meaning is of „Slave rooted and Hacked“ is?

Master : Galaxy Note 10 - Android 10

Slave : Huawei P20 Lite - Android 9 - Rooted

Car : Opel Insignia 2018 Intellilink 9

Merry Christmas
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
Have exact the same problem. Black screen on car after connection established, Aauto icon do nothing if you click it. Already reported about that to Emil.

i will report by mail

maybe we make some mistake in the config setup?. Is extrange that have the same problem with black screen :(

Audio dropout problems

I'm just curious about the audio dropouts. I am using a short (1 ft.) usb micro cable (Aukey Brand) to an old Motorola Nexus 6 as the slave (Not Rooted), and a Samsung Note 9 (Not Rooted) as the Master. I tried both 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless connections and the 5 GHz didn't seem as reliable, so I landed on 2.4 Ghz, but still have audio dropout problems, mostly noticeable during navigation while streaming music (Spotify). It is odd since the music doesn't stutter, but the navigation voice does. Not sure if it is a cabling issue, or a wifi streaming issue from the other phone. The audio never seems to entirely drop out while only streaming music, but it noticeably drops in volume for a couple of seconds (randomly). I am not sure if it is dropping the streaming rate during that time, and/or if it is wifi signal problem. I do notice the dialog box showing up on the Master saying it is waiting for the slave when this happens, so I guess I would assume it is a wifi issue, but not 100% sure.

I guess I am just wondering if your symptoms or anybody else's are the same for the audio dropouts?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Hckymstr19:
Hey Johnny I sent you a private email, try and get back to me either here or with my personal email. I have the exact same care and want to get this working like you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
I am getting noticeable dropouts on Spotify but I am also using a random cable right now so it could easily be the problem. I have a couple of cables (UGreen and Anker) on order from Amazon that should be here tomorrow and will try those to see if one of them resolves the issue. I am using 5 GHz for the wifi connection. Haven't checked to see if 2.4 GHz would be more reliable. If cables don't resolve the issues, might try that as a next step.

hello johnny, y received the file by emil but i have a black screen. maybe i do something wrong. Can you describe the steeps you follow?

Some minutes ago im testing again with other phone as slave. Now i obtain the message in the car screen "aagateway waiting to device".

I think i make some mistakes and not connect.

Can someone describe the steeps with the new version of the app?

thanks a lot!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
I think you are confused with versions. the latest one is 1.3 which works with HUR app with slave hotspot. everybody who tried it has a black screen, me too. Johnny use previous one, v1.1 which is works with old scheme, when hotspot is master. Just wait till Emil will fix black screen problem or use XDA version of AAgateway app.
