Check the cables and take it inside and plug it into a USB power brick and see if you get signal.

This is also probably what Har****@ar7 should have done. His car seems to have an unusally low powered USB port and even normal AA doesn't work. The fact that AAW did initially doesn't mean it will always work, the car needs to be looked as AA should work with a cable as originally intended.

I had two of the Ottocast UX-2 and one of the cars I was going to put it in, it just doesn't work, it won't broadcast the BT signal, though it looks like getting power. Possibly that port just isn't giving enough, the device works EVERYWHERE else, other cars, in the house for updates etc. I have since found out other cars are affected so it's a bit of pot luck with that one for some reason. AAW works in that car so I have left it alone and it's fine.

Hi software update 2.0.2 has broken my unit it no longer works at all without passthrough saying phone not found. With pass thru it rarely connects without resetting. Could you please let me role back. Unit is AAWw1PUnHoF
[Android Auto General] WestHej:
Just to update you snirpo, I'm on the 2.1.0 beta (20220726). It's been perfect on my Pixel 5 android 12 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 on intercept mode. No more audio dropouts back to my phone and the connection has been rock solid, starting up everytime when before it wouldn't always connect with start/stop.
[Android Auto General] pittrich:
I have the same experience with my Pixel 5 and Opel Mokka X Intellilink. Companion App 2.31 dev and latest firmware 2.1.0 dev.
[Android Auto General] ddiehl:
VW Golf..

Having an issue when using Google Maps, I lose volume control for media and can only control the volume of the Nav voice prompts. Even when I exit Google Maps the problem still persists until I restart the headunit or car. I'm using the latest public update. This does not happen when using a cable.

Any suggestions or possible fix?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] :
I plugged it in power brick and even wall charger. I even asked support to check if i can plug it in a wall charger before plugging into a wall charger so that it doesn't short circuit. Still it didn't show up in any phone's bluetooth settings. I might have a ticket asking the question about wall charger.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Ah, good for support to ask this, as many wouldn't think of it. There does seem to be an issue with your car though, as you say it doesn't work with a cable?
[Android Auto General] :
There is no issue with my car. As i said the usb ports are rated for .5a and it supplies the same. Ampere app on android shows 280ma max current and that is normal. Plug your android phone in a wall charger rates for 2.4a and check with ampere the max current your phone gets. It will be less than 2.4a . So the aawireless orked initially good. My phone works perfectly on wired android auto. The problem is that it doesn't charges and uses android auto simultaneously. It loses charge but slowly. The port is not sufficient to charge phone while using android auto but it is sufficient to power on aawireless. Newer cars or stereo need to support 1.5a or more power to give for android auto in the car. Otherwise they can't provide feature of android auto. This is mentioned somewhere in google documentation for manufacturers.
[Android Auto General] Roy47:
Hi how do I get support. I have asked for a rollback as my unit just doesn't work with 2.0.2. Gave my unit I'd and don't know how I would receive rollback
[Android Auto General] JBiz227:
Did you reach out to their support team? http://support.aawireless.io/support/home - The folks here are on the Product and/or development side, so maybe support can lend you a hand?
[Android Auto General] ncfroc:
Just got an AAWireless adapter and was excited for the tap restriction setting but it doesn't seem to affect the tap restriction in Waze. I still get the "Browsing locked for safety" when trying to scroll my destination history after a few pages. Is this a different tap restriction in Waze vs. Android Auto?
[Android Auto General] nettech_gt:
Thanks.
[Android Auto General] sbellon:
Hi all,

I have been lurking here, being a very happy user of AAWireless for quite some time (I have been in the very early batches). I have been successfully using AAWireless 1.5.0 (yes, old, but worked very stable for me) together with my 2017 Audi A4 and a Sony Xperia 5 II with Android 12. Everything was rock stable, no disconnects, and the connection was detected almost 95 % of the time immediately when starting the car without any manual intervention required.

However since a few days, it doesn't work anymore at all. Audi MMI says that no Android Auto device is connected.

If I plug in the Sony Xperia 5 II directly at the cable instead of the AAWireless device, I immediately have Android Auto on the car's screen.

So, it neither looks like the fault of the car nor the phone, nor the cable.

When plugging in AAWireless, it first starts with a solid green LED and after a short while it changes to "flash flash pause, flash flash pause, flash flash pause, ..." rhythm, also in green. What does that mean?

Needless to say that I didn't change anything on the car side and nothing in AAWireless either. Also, there was no Android update on the phone. I cannot guarantee however whether there was an update of the Android Auto app, that may have been the case.

Anybody any ideas of what's the issue and/or of how to get it back in working condition?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Try to reset the device. I also have to reset the device every 4 months or so.
[Android Auto General] smirle:
Hey @pittrich and @WestHej. I have a Pixel 5 as well and have been experiencing issues when the audio drops out randomly out of nowhere and won't come back until I reboot the AAWireless unit (by pulling the USB plug and replugging it in). AA interface still stays up and works perfectly, solid blue light is still on the unit, it 's just that the audio is gone permanently until I power cycle. Is this what you meant when you said 'audio drop outs'?

I'm on the 2.0.2 firmware and app version 2.21.0. Everything is default except I have 'Passthrough' and 'Dongle Mode' enabled.

If this is a new issue, is there any way that I can capture logs of this happening and send it to devs for analysis? This happened to me on two separate occasions today after about 1 month of zero issues.
[Android Auto General] pittrich:
What kind of car with which head unit do you have?
[Android Auto General] smirle:
I have a 2019 Kia Stinger with the standard OEM head unit. Nothing aftermarket or anything. AAWireless unit is plugged in, velcro'd in place in a sectioned off compartment using the cable that came with the unit. Definitely a software issue of some kind, either with AAWIreless, my phone's Android Auto, or the car's software.
[Android Auto General] pittrich:
I think you should address @Snirpo directly. He can certainly help you.

Everything works wonderfully on my Opel with Intellilink.
[Android Auto General] smirle:
@Snirpo can I get on the latest 2.1.0 beta to see if it eliminates my permanent audio dropouts that require a reboot? My device is AAWhiR8mpGW

I'm also happy to capture logs when this happens if that's possible/helpful! Just let me know how I can do that.
[Android Auto General] zepatko:
@Snirpo : Can you please add me for beta firmware 2.1.0 ?

I have a Kia, so forced to use "Passthrough mode" since last update of the unit.

My device is : Zhw6ywcM

Many thanks in advance !
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Never heard of this before. I enabled the develop firmware, but I'm pretty sure it won't help. Please try passthrough before updating.
[Android Auto General] alibaba00:
Please add me to 2.1.0 beta. Thanks.

Device: AAW4fFDbMHc
[Android Auto General] smirle:
Thanks for doing this. I'll upgrade later today.

I already have had both 'passthrough' and 'dongle' modes enabled since the 2.0.0 update. I've made no changes or tweaks other than enabling those two.

Are there any other recommended settings that I should use to make this as close to the native wired AA experience as possible? Are there any logs or data that I can send you if/when this happens again?

Also, I would love to see an option in the app to do a soft reboot on the AAWIreless unit so I don't have to unplug/replug again if this happens. Actually a means to do this from the AA interface itself would be really cool!
[Android Auto General] ilyukha13:
@Snirpo could I, please, get the 2.1.0 beta FW to fix the latest Hyundai SSL issue.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] munky-head:
Had to reinstall my Android. Afterwards, I noticed that the Assistant no longer works - it detects "Hey Google"/"OK Google", the audio bars move as if it hears my voice - but commands aren't being recognized (the "oops" message).

How to re-enable Assistant? BTW, it does work on my cellphone, when not connected to the car.
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
there is a setting for this in settings,apps,app management,android auto, additional settings in app
[Android Auto General] munky-head:
Which setting is this? Everything is like I left it, in terms of detection being enabled (and indeed it detects "hey google", just not what comes after)
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
'Hey Google' detection', but if you have already activated it then I can't help you further, it should supposedly work (I personally have it deactivated)
[Android Auto General] munky-head:
It's on and still doesn't work for me.

Just to clarify, it does detect 'Hey Google', just ignores the actual command (even though it does hear voice, as reflected by the bars moving).
[Android Auto General] Dangze:
I wonder if this question has something to see with AAWireless ?...:rolleyes:
[Android Auto General] Whiskery:
I used to get the same thing. I believe it is an issue with AA/Google rather than AAW. In any event, I have had to give up on AAW as I can't connect to it/won't update, just sits there with a constant light-blue light. It is a (very expensive) paper weight on my desk now. It is just "too Beta" for my requirements.

I have now got a Carlink 2022 Android box which works flawlessly for me.

MG ZS EV 2022

Galaxy S21 Ultra (not rooted)
[Android Auto General] munky-head:
Apparently, it was a Google problem. Cleared data for all Google-related apps on the phone, deleted the voice model and retrained it until it accepted my voice again.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I know I should ignore these posts, but these are the comments why I'm honestly considering completely dropping out any forum / reddit / social media. What's the point? We have support, we have warranty, we have a refund policy. It might be "beta" for you, but we shipped over 100k devices and believe me or not, for most, it just works. It's the same thing for all of these dongles. They will not work perfectly for all, there are just too many variables.
[Android Auto General] C0V3T3R:
Ordered mine 2 weeks ago, still waiting for the shipment to move. Anyways, was curious if it is possible to use AAWireless for everything else but Audio/Music?

Have noticed my HeadUnit doesnt give a good sound when i use Android Auto but the same file songs are awesome quality when streamed through Bluetooth,
[Android Auto General] Area51©:
No that's not possible. Audio and video streaming uses the same channel, wifi in this case.
[Android Auto General] Lord Paulus Cobris:
Hello,

I must ask the developer...

Will AAWireless support also Wireless Apple Car Play?

I have come across another device like AAWireless that do both AA and ACP.

The price is even the same... so?

Im thinking in moving from Android to IOS, and i don´t want to have a "stone" on my car.

Thanks again...

LPC
[Android Auto General] festor:
I remember a post from a guy with the classic “I've been in the industry for years” claim. He said that because he had a weekly internal briefing at his workplace, you should be doing the same for us here. If you give an inch, they want a mile.

Then you have all the narcissistic Karens with zero patience that say whatever they think will get your attention so they can jump the queue. Even when you (quite rightly) post that firmware will now be staggered with no release announcement, you have an immediate request from someone with “faulty” units asking you to announce when the release will start!?!

It must be incredibly frustrating and every rational user will understand. Even if you decide against stepping back permanently, please take a lengthy break.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Maybe in the future. We're looking into it, but it's not trivial because the CarPlay protocol is completely different from Android Auto.

We might also need an MFI chip to be able to do it, we're looking into ways around it, because we cannot get an MFI license (we tried). All the Chinese dongles just put an MFI chip on without having license.

IF we can do it we will provide it as a free update. For now I'd buy this other device if you want both.
[Android Auto General] Lord Paulus Cobris:
Hi Snirpo!

Thanks for your reply!

Thats actually good news... Its not "NO". There is hope for a multi option device at least.

That would be awesome if this dongle could do both protocols.

Keep up de good work!

Thanks again,

LPC
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@Snirpo

I just want to say thank you to you and your team for your hard work and the device.

I have it now since end of October 2021. I use it nearly every day.

The successful connection rate is at around 98-99% in my case. For the other 1-2% there is always support from your side. Thanks for this.

Don't listen to inpatient people. Everybody wants to have everything right away. Waiting is something people don't know any more today in the globalised world. Don't listen to these guys.
[Android Auto General] DeCo59:
Strange behaviour for me, I think when I change country the android auto disconnect, its happened when I switch from france to Belgium, , and France to Germany.

Also I always have the problem which for example "deezer" stay at the bottom with the button, even if u don't want to use it and I launch poweramp on AA, the deezer button stay at the bottom, (also happened with smart audiobook for example), so I have to disable it on AA 😏
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
There. I've fixed it for you! :)

Mine works perfectly 99% of the time, & when it doesn't seem to work, rebooting the HU or phone fixes it. That tells me where the problem is.

Too many people have unrealistic expectations of wireless communications (that includes Bluetooth). As a Amateur Radio licensee for fifty years, I understand the frustration. However, it's the nature of radio communications.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Very close to release of 2.1.0 now. We fixed the UConnect issue, except for some cases where you still have to re-plug the device, but this is also the case on the MA1.
[Android Auto General] RealNBB:
I don't know why and i do not need 2.1.0 because everything runs perfect...but here it is: Yee-haaawwwww!!!!! :D :D
[Android Auto General] Danielgade:
I have been running 2.0.2 for a month now and the app asked me to "upgrade" to the 1.12 version. Has a problem been discovered in 2.0.2?
[Android Auto General] psmedley:
You must have a Uconnect head unit.... there are some know issues with 2.02 and uconnect, so they're offering a backlevel to 1.12 which may work better. If you have no issues with 2.02, there's no need to downgrade.
[Android Auto General] Andres.Navas:
I do plus one to @SOFO888

I've my AAW since 2021 as well, I have receive good support when needed and I have had enough patient to play around with the device and test multiple settings until getting my sweet-spot. I can say that since we got the option to modify the WiFi channels my device works more than 99% of the time flawlessly, I use it everyday mostly listening Spotify and Google podcasts, with Waze all the time showing the map or guiding, phone calls, whatsapp calls, message reading and replies, google assistant voice commands... everything works as it was wired to the unit... the fraction of the current failures I have been facing is very specific, and I have noticed that sometimes when I pass under a teletag reader (parkings or tolls) the device disconnects, but within several seconds it reconnects automatically (as it's not so frequently I always forget to change WiFi channel again, probably that will completely fix that small issue).

I have drive from Spain to France, also to Andorra, changing the country hasn't affected the device behavior at all. Tested in short drives but also in long runs driving around 4 hours non-stop from Barcelona to Avignon, no issues, I'm very happy with the product and I do thank you all the developers behind because you're doing a tremendous job!

Keep strong and ignore the haters... the will be always around...
[Android Auto General] alibaba00:
No update on the server,will be later?
[Android Auto General] Danielgade:
Thank you for your answer. I have the Uconnect and haven't any problem of connection. The only thing that I observed was that the start/stop system of my car stop of work. I think that was caused by the use of gadget, draining the battery . I turned on the start/stop option of AAWireless app, apparently it's work fine, but the car's system didn't back. I will wait of the new update (2.1) for make it in my gadget.
[Android Auto General] elbubi:
Does "very close" means RIGHT NOW or TODAY or TOMORROW?

Dear God...
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
It means stfu and have some patience... Stop being so entitled you rude Karen.
[Android Auto General] elbubi:
You totally misunderstud my post.

I meant to say to alibaba00 that Snirpo said "very close", and very close does not mean now, nor today, nor tomorrow.

It was a way of saying "Dear god, please have some patiente with this poor gay who is doing its best to help us".

No need to disrespect btw...
[Android Auto General] :
Hey guys google has released android auto 8.0 beta without coolwalk currently. I think they will enable it later server side. @Snirpo when coolwalk gets enabled it will work with aawireless right i mean yea there might be need to do some testing but it should work right. I wanted to try out android auto beta so asking. If i face some problems i will instead of jumping to beta will use stable build but i m facing some problems on stable build for my samsung. These problems are solved in beta version of android auto.
[Android Auto General] sbellon:
@Snirpo

I think my message got lost unanswered in the thread. I'd be very grateful for some other hints besides "reset the device".

What does the LED blinking code mean?

If resetting is the only way forward, I'll gladly try it, however I was running AAWireless for a year now without any hiccups, therefore I'm really wondering whether resetting is the answer.
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Did you try to update the Bosch slda to 1890 version? With wired aa I had problems with 1880, since begin of 2022 1890 came out and now it's more stable then ever.
[Android Auto General] mnunes:
I wanted to add my thanks to @Snirpo and his team. They've been working tirelessly to get everything working for everyone. When you think about all of the combinations of phones, Android versions (including non-standard ROMs), Android Auto updates, head units (not just an auto manufacturer but the changes those manufacturers make to their own systems year after year, and updates) plus aftermarket systems - it's staggering how many different things have to all "just work."

I know forums are often the place people come to report their problems and ask for help, and having been on the receiving side of it myself it can sometimes be overwhelming and disheartening.

So kudos to the AAW team for everything they've done!
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Maybe a stupid question, but what way is the best way to buy the aawireless dongle? Is see that you have a website now but my country is not listed? Or do I need to buy from the indigo website? (European union). If so what is the estimated delivery time?
[Android Auto General] JoePryor:
AA Wireless is also available on Amazon.com.
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Currently unavailable on Amazon.com.. So I can't buy it there. Also it's only for the US market, not Europe...
[Android Auto General] DroidShift79:
For EU market, atm indigogo is the way to go. My device got shipped fromm the Netherlands and arrived 5 days after the order.
[Android Auto General] DeCo59:
Hi, you could find the led signification on the faq of the aawireleess app, I paste the content, if it could help you

Green: Unit is booting. This will normally take about < 10 seconds.

Blinking green: Unit is not paired to a phone, or is searching for an already paired phone.

Blinking blue: Phone is connected via Wifi, waiting for headunit/car to connect via USB.

Blue: Connection fully set up, Android Auto should be running.

Red: Connection to phone failed. Bluetooth might be off on the phone or the pairing with the phone might be removed on the phone side.

White or blinking white. Start / Stop mode is enabled, and the device is waiting for a start or stop command from the phone to start Android Auto.
[Android Auto General] Dangze:
@DeCo59 said :

"White or blinking white. Start / Stop mode is enabled, and the device is waiting for a start or stop command from the phone to start Android Auto."

I rather think that the device is waiting for head unit switch on ! Am I wrong ? Anyway, that's the way my device works !
[Android Auto General] joshnz123:
Hi,

I was hoping for some advice on things to try and solve an odd problem.

I have an aawireless unit attached to a Sony xav-ax5500 headset I installed in my car. After disabling pass through the aawireless worked great for short trips. However on longer trips, after about 20-25 minutes the audio playback starts pausing, almost like it is buffering, and then, usually about 2 minutes after the audio issues start, the aawireless seems to reset itself. It goes down for about 30 seconds and then starts up again, reconnects and starts navigation and audio at the place it stopped (ie it resumes where it left off).

This is clearly annoying, and I was hoping for suggestions as to if this is a known problem with a fix or if this might be a defective unit.

Any advice would be great,

Cheers,

Josh
[Android Auto General] sbellon:
Thanks, this gave me the hint of what to try: I had to manually connect (not pair!) the phone's Bluetooth to the AAWireless dongle once more. After that, it now automatically connects again. I have no idea what changed, but I literally had to go to Bluetooth settings and connect to AAWireless once (again, not pairing!) and now it works again.

What however does not work is updating from 1.5.0 to 2.0.2 (it aborts at ca. 60 % progress each time I try), but that's not an issue for me because 1.5.0 is rock solid and I like what it does.
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Tnx but damn, 15 dollars shipment fees to the Netherlands is expensive.. With Amazon I would not have any shipment fees..
[Android Auto General] pittrich:
It will cost $15 more on Amazon 😉
[Android Auto General] :
@Snirpo I have an idea which if you think is possible can implement. Since aawireless uses wifi ac wifi n. Due to interference it is forced to use wifi n. You can let people choose channel, channel width like 40 or 80 channel number to use with aawireless. According to their wishes and car setup it would be just like router. I think this will help people like me who live in country where 40 mhz is used by toll gates and aawireless crashes on tolls.
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
How? On American Amazon there is no shipping fee and you can order it for 89 dollars
