Hi everyone.

I got to try the app, using s8 + as master and s7 edge as slave, it takes a few seconds to connect, but anyway once connected the connection is stable anyway I understand that the connection does not depend on the app!

The only negative note I found is that the voice commands do not work, either by pronouncing the hotword or pressing the key for voice commands, the assistant starts to listen, but does not accept the command, and listens for several seconds without then lead to a result! it worked only once but when I asked to call my wife, the phone call started, but my brother-in-law!

is there a way to solve this problem or will I have to wait for a new version of the app?

sorry for the bad english

I can't get it to work. Using a Samsung a7 2015 as slave (rooted) and a galaxy note 9 as master (rooted) .

Connection established between the phones and slave says connection with car established, car screen says "check if further confirmation is required ". Since it's VAG, that's supposed to be normal. After 30 seconds I get a popup in car's screen "unable to launch android auto" and slave disconnects.

Forgot to mention I'm using beta
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rpgreentree:
When you get the 'further confirmation ' message you need to go to your master and set AA up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iliadis_babis:
I got it to work but the app on slave stops working after 30 seconds .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iliadis_babis:
Quick update. I tried the unorthodox use of having the slave at Alpha version and the master at Beta version.

Works like a charm ( even video from third party apps in android auto works great ) (Volkswagen Golf 7 2017) until you turn off the car and you start again. Then the connection is not possible by any way, just by reinstalling the app in both devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xXIgorXx:
Using the beta RC3 I have now the best combination for my setup.

The slave sets up the hotspot to which the master connects, Tasker on the master runs a task to automatically and quickly connect to the hotspot. Without Tasker I sometimes had the problem, that the master didn't connect or I got Authentication error for the hotspot, so I can now solve this.

Since the slave acts as the hotspot, I don't lose connection anymore when the master loses mobile network connection.

For me this works reliable and stable, the only problem left, sometimes infrequently I get lags. The UI gets slow and the audio stutters, usually this is for a few seconds.

I can't say if this is AAGateway related or a WiFi thing, but I'm really happy the setup works.

I get in the car, put my Phone into the wireless charger, a few seconds later Android Auto starts.

Perfect solution ?

I managed to run android auto wireless with master galaxy s10 and as slave android stick MK809 IV, the problem is that it doesn't always connect, in fact it rarely does, from what I understand the master can't connect with the slave (weiting for device) and then on the car screen writes me to check if the device is unlocked. Solutions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] garshhh:
I notice that in notification app show "waiting for slave", but when you expand notification it is already connected.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marcozizou:
Yes true, it happens but in this case it connects and android auto starts, in my case it only writes "weiting for slave" even if I expand the notification and the connection with android auto does not happen and moreover on the screen of the infoteiment writes me about check if the device is unlocked.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
One of major issues on slave is that when slave is connected to head unit and it turns on the slave blocks Bluetooth from connecting to master. Meaning that we need to wait to master phone to connect to Bluetooth first and then plug slave phone. I think that when this is solved it will have most of issues solved...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marcozizou:
So if I understand correctly by first connecting the master to the bluetooth and then activating the tethering to connect the master to the slave, should the connection be done correctly?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iliadis_babis:
My issue is that I have to restart the phone (master) every second time if I want to connect...otherwise works great .

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
Well the only thing preventing all functioning automatically is the slave blocking head unit Bluetooth if its plugged when you start the car/radio

---------- Post added at 18:57 ---------- Previous post was at 18:37 ----------

Great would be a hack to make AA think that the phone is in the US. That would be perfect since Google is not allowing wireless for other countries...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] diehardbattery:
Trying to get this working with a Note 9 as master and Moto e5 Play (james) as the slave on a 2019 Mazda CX5. It's worked a few times but not consistently. My head unit keeps telling me to check my phone when it's safe. Slave says connection established. Oddly, one of the times I got it to work was my hitting manual start on the master. The slave aso gives me a message about not default set for Android Auto USB even though when I first connected, I selected AA Gateway always.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iliadis_babis:
Try rebooting the master and trying again . That works for me

Hello everyone, we know that Emil Borconi is engaged in his work, however, since 04/26/2019 he has not responded in this thread.

Emil when you can resume this project and get a new version.

Sorry for my English but I'm using a translator.

Is it possible to cast any app? Like YouTube for example? It would be very good if it is
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Not with this all. Look for aamirror.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nvodev:
I managed to connect my Note9 to my slave phone, however, performance is rather poor. It is okay-ish for only using Spotify, but this kind of defeats the purpose of using AA in the first place.

When starting a navigation app (Waze in my case) both music and the app itself start stuttering and are ultimately unusable.

My question is whether somebody has ideas for achieving maximum performance with currently available versions of AAGateWay (e.g. would using slave as the hotspot improve performance etc.).

I uninstalled almost every app on slave without any noticeable effect - maybe there is some other fine-tuning that can be done?

Tell me please, does it matter which TV stick is used or can anyone use it with an android? for example

(Amlogic S905Y2 Android 8.1 4GB DDR4 32GB eMMC 4K TV Dongle Dual Band WiFi Blutooth HDMI USB3.0)

And will this program work with scunk 3, does it have support for android auto.

This project seems dead
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] martin.armstrong:
Emil is very busy at work and at home (moving house) and may not be able continue work on this project until Sept/Oct.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Not quite but it's frozen.

Problems l is cars act differently and while all tests are ok on my Sony headunit that doesn't translate to all cars. I need to find time to rent loads of different cars and test one by one till I get it absolutely right.

As it's been mentioned I'm moving back to Romania from the UK in August and last one year a lot of energy went into rebuilding the house in Romania, beside all other work I'm doing. Once I'm done with the moving at end of August I will be back in the UK to clear up my property here (mid September). O will probably start working again on this around that time as UK makes it more easier to access different cars then Romania. If anyone has any question I'm always available by email.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
Take you time Emil, take your time. One thing you could do is to prevent slave from blocking Bluetooth to master when wire connected to slave. Meaning, we have to wait to master to connect to radio bluetooth first and then usb connect the radio to slave. If you solve this i think most problems would be solved (at least for me lol) .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] swasha123:
I have bypassed Hand break in car. Currently, I am waiting until Bluetooth (take exactly 20sec) connection and then connecting Phone, this all while driving due to bypass.

Boot time should not matters in case of wireless Android Auto.

Buying stick due to small size and hide in car.

What is the app called again?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mistermojorizin:
I am very excited about this project. I don't have an android stock though and I was wondering about which one to buy. I figure today is prime day work several stores trying to out sale Amazon. Any recommendations for something tiny and cheap?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

With a relatively big push, between trying to pack my stuff for holiday, finish every other piece of work which I had and so on I have managed to release an alpha version of the app for those eager to test this out. All details are available in the OP now, for those interested github link is in the FAQ section as well.

As I have previously mentioned I'm going away on a holiday tomorrow (the 17th of July) and I will be back only on the 28th of July, during this period I won't be able to do any kind of work which is AA related.

Feel free to share your experience on the app thread or even send me emails, I will surely have a look at them as soon as I'm back from the holiday.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] starslicer:
I just glanced through the directions. The bit about the WIFI hotspot on my phone is a bit hard to swallow but I can't wait to get home and try it out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NHNXDA:
So effectively, could I install this app on my android 8 head unit, connect the head unit to my hotspot on cellphone & achieve the same result?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] XQC:
Wuuuhuuu, will try it out now!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
by hard to swallow you mean hard to understand or you're referring to cost?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jainyankee1993:
This is pretty smart. Curious
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No you're android 8 headunit cannot run Android Auto as it is. If you want to use Android Auto on your Android powered headunit you should look at my other app (HUR - see signature)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PaKii94:
Sorry if this is offtopic but could a similar solution be implemented to make this cable wireless? https://gromaudio.com/wirelinq/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Emil

You Rock and you deserve a good nites rest. Well done.

I have it running successfully on my pixel 2 xl as my master and a pixel XL as the slave on my Ford sync 3.

Have a well deserved holiday.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] starslicer:
I'll have to start the wifi hotspot on my phone every time I get in my car, right? At least for the time being.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes but this can be easily automated. Wifi-Direct it's more difficult to automate. In the FAQ I have included some tips on how this can be done, depends on who uses what apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I don't know what that cable is, I will need to look into it, remind me next month please.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PaKii94:
It's a cable that emulates an iphone/ipod for android phones so cars with apple integration can use android phones and get album art and steering wheel controls. (This is obviously for cars before AA/apple play came out). The default behavior in connecting android phone to the USB is it is read as mass storage device (can't stream music or get album art).

Unfortunately, this still requires a cable. I was/still am looking for a way to make this connection wireless.

Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply. I appreciate the efforts with this project already. I know it will come in useful for me later down the line (Once I do get an AA car)! I will remind you next month!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I see, well Apple is not my strong point, I will say that me and Apple does not get along to well :) ok I'm a hater :D but will look into it after the holidays.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PaKii94:
Dont worry I'm a hater too :highfive: That's why I'm trying to get my android phone to work with my car, iphone integration be damned!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jainyankee1993:
For the automation part, to my understanding Tasker is unable to start hotspot on your phone unless it is rooted. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe right now this has to be a manual process

Edit: I think it works if you install the toggle tethering plugin
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I've tried now with tasker on my OnePlus 5 (non-rooted, stock Oreo 8.1) and it worked without a problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LLStarks:
Can bugfixes still go in? I don't think all of the OK Google fixes were ever pushed to release after verification in test builds. I hope I'm mistaken.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes just not sure how as the latest RC version fixed some things and broke others.... So I can't really put it on the release channel, alpha and beta channels are taken.... Let me have a think.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alexo95:
Id definitely be keen on trying different versions, the code you sent me via email lastnight works pretty well, I read and replied to a sms with ease, minimal audio stutter, the only things that caused slight issues was reconnecting after leaving the car & saying ok google.

I think your very close to a fully functional app here!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes because you have a Sony same like my unit. It's not far off but it does need some serious time spent on it, and I'm happy to rent different cars to try but it's pointless to do that it I cannot imagine 100% of my attention to the project.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
Emil what about this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
I already have RC3. Paid for it :)

I understand what your saying but if i leave slave always connected to HU when i start the car (and HU at same time obviously) the slave connects ok to master but Bluetooth stays greyed in HU because slave is "blocking" it and cant connect to master. Therefore AA wont work unless i disconnect slave usb, wait to master to connect to HU bluetooth and then reconnect slave. Is there any workaround to prevent this without disconnect usb from slave?

PS: my HU is a Pioneer AVIC-Z910DAB
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Those are exactly the differences between units i need to work out between devices because one thing might fix it for one device and brake it for another. I can see where it the car is coming from, this is due to the car needing to reserve the BT for the phone, BUT the master should be able to connect to it when it's in Android auto, however if it's not able to connect to it before the master actually never starts the whole process.... Bit of catch 22
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
Maybe a 30sec delay in slave AAgateway when powered from usb... just gessing...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yeah but to do that it will mean ROOT will be a must....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
That would be fine by me :D

Hi,

I would try this but my old TV stick (MK802III) is broken.

Now I have a few old phones at home to test. But I can also get a cheap TV stick.

Can anyone recommend me which way to go ?

Should I order a S905X2 type TV stick (is this working?) or use an old phone like Samsung S4 mini ?

If I can use old Samsung phone, which OS should it be ? Should it be rooted ?

thanks

Hi

I just can't go any further than this screen:

It says: "Please, check in the mobile device if further confirmation is required. Please note that, for your safety, you should not use the mobile device while driving."

Head unit is the VW Golf 7.5 default (Composition Media, I think), slave is Sony Xperia Z2 (rooted, AOSP 8.1) and master is Samsung Galaxy s10 (non-rooted, stock 9.0). The app version is Beta RC3. I tested with other slave phones (Galaxy s7 and Galaxy Pocket Neo) without success.

Could you please give me any tips to make it work? I can install any ROM in the slave phones, but I can't root my Galaxy s10.

Best regards.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rpgreentree:
You need to go back to the master phone and setup AA. It should work after that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] b3563409@urhen.com:
Renault-cars have trouble with Android Auto and phones with snapdragon socs from 2018 and 2019. When connecting to the car the interface will be pixelated and unusable. Try looking up "Android Auto doent work with Renault R-Link, Snapdragon 855, new MI 9" on the Google Support Forums for example to see all the complaints and pictures (I'm not allowed to post URL's).

I then found this app een thought I could be smart by using my old phone (which worked perfectly fine with Android Auto in my Renault) as a slave and my new phone as a master so I could still use Android Auto in my car.

I was surprised at how easy it is to set this up and how good it seems to work. But unfortunaty it's no fix for my problem. The pixelation I get from directly connecting my 2019 phone to the Renault, is also shown when use my 2015 phone as a slave. When installing Android Auto directly on to the 2015 phone Android Auto works perfectly fine.

I'm afraid it's nothing that can be fixed by this app, but I was quite surprised it turned out to be like this. I was hoping it would work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dcandal7:
AA was always runing at the master phone.

I realized that, if I wait the car to automatically connect to the slave phone and then I wait for 5-10 minutes, then when I select android auto in the car it starts working. Howerver, after 10 minutes the slave gets disconected, then the message I shown in the last post appears in the screen. Sometimes, after 15-20 minutes, AA starts working again.

I checked the logs and I saw some messages that could be interesting, such us:
