That's because the hands free of the car is not connecting to the phone because of some weirdness on newer Toyota HU's / software. Please try to disable dongle mode in the settings of the AAWireless companion app, then clear cache and data of AA and re-pair AAW. This will make AA start without handsfree being connected.
[Android Auto General] mgmCube:
Thanks. I will try that.

I’m using CarPlay on iOS 17 on 3.0 in a KIA EV6 GT AAWireless-LnpIR1IQ.

I’m finding that if I have media playing, and then I interrupt to use Siri via wake word or steering wheel button, subsequent audio plays on the voice channel and not on the media channel. Seems like you don’t recognize that Siri has released.

Any suggestions? Thanks

@Snirpo Hello, Looking for access to the dev firmware to help test CP emulation.

Phone Pixel 6 Pro

Vehicle NA 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness
[Android Auto General] Highway 11:
So I tried with both a Pixel 7 and a S23 Ultra, same behavior. Calls cause CP over AA to disconnect and calls go through the head unit. Once I hang up AAWireless reconnects again after a minute. Disabling phone calls under the phone's bluetooth prevents CP over AA from crashing, so I'm thinking it's definitely the head unit having a fit over handling what it thinks is CP and bluetooth at the same time.

Would sending in a debug report help?

I am having the same issues as other Subaru owners. CP is only half of screen on larger radio displays.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] halcyonproject:
I see the same behavior on a 2022 outback with an s21. Calls seem to route to the head unit and disconnects CP on hang up (or a short time after as everything bugs out). Also seeing crashes when exiting reverse (when the rear camera goes off), often causes CP to close and forces the puck to reconnect (though this seems to be hard to reproduce, just kind of randomly happens, will keep testing).
[Android Auto General] J_E_F_F:
Yes, 317 is Gen2
[Android Auto General] sztachu:
I have the same problem with Lexus NX 2023.

After forcing bluetooth connection with a car (from phone) AA starts again.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yup, disable dongle mode.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Correct, we had a few reports of gen1 devices bootlooping after the update. Updates to 3.0 have been stopped until we know what's happening. There are so many variances in components on the gen1 boards because of the component crisis, could very well be only specific boards are affected. Or maybe these boards are in some way defective (EMMC), and the 3.0 update is the final straw. We don't really know yet.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Correct, phone calls over CP haven't been implemented yet. We need to proxy bluetooth handsfree to CP for that. We're working on it. On some cars, like Subaru, phone calls still work because the car keeps hands free active while running CP. I can imagine it being buggy though, because normally Bluetooth handsfree is not used while running CP.
[Android Auto General] halcyonproject:
Appreciate the reply.

Will give it some time to cook, otherwise the standard AA is working great!
[Android Auto General] mgmCube:
Thanks, it works.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Did the handfree also connect after AA connected? Or does it stay not connected?
[Android Auto General] mgmCube:
What do you mean exactly with handsfree?

[Android Auto General] Dangze:
Hello Snirpo,

does that mean you could consider replacing gen1 devices by new devices ? After all, without gen1 customers "debugging", AAWireless would not have the current large success...

As far as my device is concerned, I cannot use start-stop anymore, always keep connecting / disconnecting ! It's not so big issue as my car USB stays activated only few minutes after the car engine stops.

Regards.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sorry, I mean, does the Bluetooth handsfree connection of the phone connect to the car (for phone calls etc).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We shipped around 35000 "old" devices. While I would love to, we cannot replace all these devices by new devices obviously. That would mean bankruptcy. And I guess we don't really want that ;)

Start / stop is unrelated to the device itself. That's more on the app side. It won't work correctly if your phone does extreme power saving. It's not something we can really fix. We should probably add disclaimers that this feature may or may not work correctly on specific phones. Or consider dropping it completely. For more info check: https://dontkillmyapp.com
[Android Auto General] r0x:
I have the same behavior but with AA, not CP. Is there any setting, to force Phone calls through AA?

Hello,

I currently own an Audi Q2, and I'm delighted to say that Android Auto (AA) works flawlessly straight out of the box without requiring any tinkering. However, since I enjoy diving into the technical details, I've been experimenting a bit.

I have a couple of questions regarding my AA setup. I recently enabled pass-through in dongle mode, and it seems to have improved the performance somewhat. I'm curious if, when not using any tweaks for AA, it's advisable to keep this setting enabled, or would it be better to have it disabled? Additionally, could you clarify what exactly dongle mode does? If there are any other settings or DPI values you recommend trying out for optimal performance, please let me know.

By the way, I also gave Android Auto a try through CarPlay, and it works well overall. The only issue I encountered is with the car's steering wheel phone call interface, including the phone call button on the wheel itself. However, I can still make calls using the main screen.

I'm more than willing to run some tests or even try out beta versions of your product, as I find it truly impressive. I had previously purchased a CarLink, which was quite disappointing, but your product is exceptionally well-made.

Hi,

I have a problem with Aawireless carplay on 2017 Honda Civic. AA works great either wired or wireless. Carplay works only on wired.

My iPhone is able to make bluetooth connection with Aawireless, and Carplay setting on the phone also recognizes it. But Carplay doesn't show on the car's screen, even after confirming that carplay is always enabled. I have tried to unpair and re-pair several time with no success.

Device: AAW3e69298b

Firmware: 3.0.0

Anything else I should try?

Thank you very much.
[Android Auto General] razyrazy:
I drive a 2020 Subaru Outback, thanks to the Dev's responsive support, AA can finally run in full screen conveniently and smoothly! Make sure to scroll all the way down in AAWireless's app setting to enable "AA over CP" if AA remains in half screen even after the update.

Some bugs I found so far that cause disconnection are when making/receiving phone calls and when listening to the car's radio.

The dongle will disconnect when dialing/receiving a phone call. I could minimize the phone call window, and the dongle will reconnect. It will disconnect again when call ends and reconnects again after.

As for radio, the dongle will disconnect when trying to turn on the radio or change a station, but the connection will resume again after leaving the radio selection screen with the radio playing in the background. (Make sure to turn off "Start music automatically" in the AA app if you want to keep the radio on.)
[Android Auto General] J_E_F_F:
Do you have this audo-studder fix available for 3.x firmware. My devices have always had a random audio stutter when playing music. It sounds like an old CD skipping at times. We've had this problem since I got them ~Aug/2022 happens on both devices in 2 different cars with 2 different phones.

2020 GMC Sierra and 2020 Volvo XC60

It's almost like a few seconds of audio need to be cashed. It happens whether playing local, or streaming audio. It can play fine for 20 minutes, then we'll get several seconds of stuttering, then back to normal. Once in a while I need to reset the device to correct the stutter, but that reset isn't needed very often, it usually corrects itself after 5-10 seconds.

Hello.

Please can you help me with downgrade? I use the adapter with AA on Skoda Octavia 2021 but I made the update to 3.0 version and now in calls the other person cannot hear me. I had this issue before buying this adapter but on iOS and it's something related to my car and iOS. I made the switch to Android and everything was perfect until I made this update to my adapter (wich bring support for iOS). I need to downgrade to the version before the 3.0.

Hi.

I have a wireless dongle. Works on my Mazda 6 wired AA with an Honor phone and Sony. However not at all with Huawei phones. Looks like this is a common theme with the dongles. Does anyone with an Huawei have a make on dongle that actually works with the Huawei
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Huawei phones aren't officially supported by Google for Wireless Android Auto. It works, but buggy. For example mobile data not working. All AA dongles do native Wireless AA, wether it's the MA1, AAWireless or the Chinese ones, there's no magic involved. So all dongles will work equally crappy on Huawei.
[Android Auto General] HairyMilkshakes:
Just got mine this week and am testing - in some instances the unit will completely disconnect from my phone (Note20 Ultra) and auto restart. Sometimes it causes the entire head unit to freeze and I'll have to force-restart AA from the app list.

HI @Snirpo

I got a bit of playing on my device.

excited to see CP is coming to AAWireless because wife is an iphone user .

on my car (Peugeot e208) for some reason the "android auto" option is always active and I have to always tap on the HU screen to start it even tough I have enabled "auto video focus"

anyway.. I hoped I could use AA over CP to get round this issue (with auto video focus on it does start automatically) but as I found out browsing the thread at the moment its not full screen and a bit unresponsive.

is there any beta build I could test ?

device is AAWireless-5TEYJGSC
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If there's no transcoding nessecary because of weird screen resolutions which AA doesn't support by default (like on Subaru), the performance should be fine. In general I would not recommend AA over CP when normal AA works fine though. Native is always better.
[Android Auto General] toddfla1018:
I seem to have a stuttering problem and can't seem to find a solution. It has been going on for a few months after a long time of using the device flawlessly, not sure what changed. I get a stutter every 40-60 seconds, then back to normal.

Enabled audio stutter fix firmware for you. Please verify if this helps. Audio stuttering is a really random issue with no obvious pattern. We might include this fix/hack/workaround in the next firmware, Although it shouldn't be nessecary in the first place. Passthrough needs to off for this fix to work.

Nope, that's a very early device. One of the first 3000 devices.

Hi. I have a question regarding AA through carplay beta functionality.

I have an Alfa Romeo Giulia my18. Alfa Giula and Stelvio my16 to my19 have a panoramic screen, with 8:3 aspect ratio and 1280x480 resolution.

The problem with android auto in this car is that because of a limitation on car's android auto firmware, in does not use full screen and shows a fixed Android Auto logo in the right, like this:

with carplay, it can use full screen:

the new aawireless beta functionality for carplay interface would be perfect to be able to use full screen in these alfa romeo models. I have tried to use it and it does work, but shows the same size as with android auto. Only difference is that now the image is centered instead of at the left side.

I have tested to force resolutions with phone's android auto developer settings/video resolution. I have tested all four options:

- let car and phone choose the best option

- allow only 800x480 (I think this is the resolution that car shows with android auto interface)

- allow 1280x720 or 720x1280 at most

- allow 1920x1080 or 1080x1920 at most

All 4 configurations offer the same result: 800x480 image centered in the middle of the screen.

Knowing that connecting an iphone with usb cable to the car its carplay integrated system uses full screen (1280x480 8:3), and that phone's android auto is compatible with this resolution (it does work in my20-my23 models which changed infotaintment system but kept screen size and also in aftermarket wireless android auto modules that connect internally with infotaintment my16-19), there must be some way to be able to use full screen with AA wireless.

This is how Android Auto looks in latest giulia versión, so phone's AA admits this resolution:

I have checked AAwireless carplay beta configurations and have not seen any option to try to use full screen with this car.

I am sure that it must be very easy to use full screen through carplay interface adaptation. Do you know if developers will make it compatible in future updates?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
This is already functional with AA over CP in beta firmware 3.1.0. If you pass me your device id, I'll enable it.
[Android Auto General] belarmito:
Really? That is good news!

You mean that you can activate beta upgrade so I can upgrade my device with AAwireless app?

Is there any problem to update to a beta release and should I wait to official release?

Do I need to change anything in the device configuration or will it offer full screen right away?

Thanks!

Unit: AAW3b0aaba9

Firmware: cs317-eu-prod-3.0.0.swu

Hello,

I bought my unit for wireless Carplay. I know that the product (CP) is in beta and that bugs may exist.

My problem is that with my HYUNDAI IONIQ 5, it's impossible to do CP with this software version.

I've had several exchanges with support, but the answers are unrelated to my problems.

When I plug in the box, the car detects a device on the USB CP port for 1s. But CP doesn't start on the car.

I manually connect to the unit via WiFi. I have access to the WEB interface. I've already sent DEBUGs to support via the webapp.

I also found in this topic how to get the syslog, and I sent in the support ticket.

Support is very slow to respond 2 working days. And the answers are always generic and unrelated to the message, a bit like automatic messages.

Have any of you found options in the settings to make CP work on Hyundai / KIA systems ?
[Android Auto General] garbageduty:
