Yes, that's also what I think. If you have problems from the get go, it's different, because yes, then people might give up at a certain point. But when you have a working device and it suddenly stops working (seemingly) because of an update, people will report it. Especially with the number of devices in use now. To give a number, out of about 10k batch 3 (e2w3) devices, 2k are on 1.7.1, so about 20 percent. Maybe not everyone will report issues, but even if if only 5 percent reports it, it will immediately be visible in ticket count (or messages on XDA/Reddit). With 1.7.0 there was an (intermittent) general issue, and it was reported pretty quickly indeed :)

cześć mam ten sam problem co Roland. po zainstalowaniu wersji 1.7.1 moduł wifi się nie włącza. Moduł bt działa, ale bez połączenia Wi-Fi nie jest możliwe przejście na wersję 1.5. Czy ktoś ma jakiś pomysł, czy powinienem napisać o wymianie urządzenia.

I guess you have a Wave2 HU? These issues we are investigating at the moment. Can you give me your device ID, so I can double check?
[Android Auto General] IgwanaRob:
Yesterday it was fine for the first trip I made after updating (about 12 miles), but on the return trip it started haing issues. AA stared turning itself off and reconnecting. I did notice that the audio was streaming via bluetooth for a bit before AA finally crashed. Audio quality is noticeably lower on bluetooth, so I tried to shut off the BT radio to force a reconnect and then the map display on the HU reverted to white/day mode, the initial AA setup tried to run, and then became unresponsive on the HU. Form that point on I couldn't get the AAW to connect at all (forced a reset on the AAW, and all the usual software/harware/BT re-pairing routines).

For non connecting 1.7.1 users it would be good to have a tool for pc to downgrade via cable. Would this be possible?

Perfect description of one of the errors i got with 1.7.1, @IgwanaRob

Samsung Galaxy S20 5G Ultra with a Seat Ibiza 2018 (MIB 2)
[Android Auto General] mains75:
Hello. This is MY big problem, too.

But The issue is from Android auto, not from AA Wireless. Even when I used the cable the issue was present.

This is because AA uses his own dialer that bypasses stock dialer... So internal call recording (made from stock dialer) does not work anymore...

Only once, and only for few days, Samsung stock dialer worked fine with AA with call recordings on... no idea why,

And no idea why this is not working anymore after I had to delete cache and data from Google app and Google play services...

I think this is the usual Google's stuff...:(

I started a Google help thread here: https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/131269882/call-recording-bug?hl=en
[Android Auto General] jose.illes:
Thanks for commenting on your experience, I really imagined something like that, I hope a solution is finally discovered, I have stopped using aawirelles for this and it makes me very angry.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, sort of. But it's too technical at this point. It means fully re-flashing the device. We don't want another "DRAM fix" adventure again, that was an horrible experience. We first need to understand this issue and check the numbers, if it's worth the hassle of explaining how to re-flash the device. But for sure in the future we will provide some easier USB update mechanism. It's possible with the update tooling we're using.
[Android Auto General] Jamess007:
Thank you for your reply. I have Wave3 unit - Peugeot 508 year 2020. I looking for ID everywhere but can't see it. I see only Device name - AAWireless-DOKICARv. Contribution ID is 27594. Thank you so much.
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
@james007

You can see the device Name in your WiFi Connection of your Phone and in the AAW app under "aaw device".
[Android Auto General] hildemente:
good morning, does nobody have a tip for me?

[Android Auto General] Jamess007:
@Tommy Hilfaker Thank you. So i wrote it right. It's AAWireless-DOKICARv
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:

No problem :)

If you guys need a beta tester for MIB 2/Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G with >1.7.1, let me know if i can help.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sure, if you join us on https://join.slack.com/t/aawireless/shared_invite/zt-nu6jokgj-Y~FxA6aegEZMi98aISYEjA I can add you to the beta testers private group.
[Android Auto General] Bunecarera:
I have a perfectly working device on 1.6.0...

But I can't update to 1.7.1... Update always fails. Connected to PC, connected to other USB power source,...
[Android Auto General] Bunecarera:
This has to do with AA not using the phone's native dialer.

Are you rooted? A possible solution would be to use tasker.

If connected to AA AND you get a call, have a non-native call recorder start recording.

Sharing the video of how does the issue look like in my car. VW crash fix enabled.
[Android Auto General] SkyNaras:
I have exactly the same problem with MIB2
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
That's a full reboot of AAW, probably means the car fully removes USB power. What are both your device names?
[Android Auto General] yahoo666:
AAW is AAWireless-JZT756Tv, but what do you mean by the other one? Phone, or car unit? Phone is a Galaxy S20 running Android 11, Car unit is VW Discover Pro 2015. Not sure what exactly you need:)

EDIT: This happens with a phone as well, but only occasionally - like once a week or even longer. So this could potentially support the suggestion of car disabling the USB
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sorry, I mean of @SkyNaras's device :)

Thanks for invite! It works on PC in my browser but with the Stack App I do not get it works on my Smartphone.....i generated a username and a PW on PC but the app won't asking for that. The app want to send me a Magic link or a workspace url. But i didnt know this URL.
[Android Auto General] Diabollon:
I'm using Carperformance Android 7.1 Extension on my car because no Android Auto available on my UConnect unit. Until now I did use Android Auto with a cable adapter and the Autoplay app is working without any problems. Aawireless does not connect to the Autoplay app. Which app on Android can aawireless connect to via Android Auto?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Almost the same head units, both Harman. Other software version. But that it happens also with the phone directly connected is good info. Means it probably is an inherent issue in the head unit. You could try to turn the VAG fix on, it's normally only needed on Technisat HU's, but who knows...
[Android Auto General] Lenster45:
Got my unit today. After following this thread,, I was expecting issues or at least some setup. Downloaded the app, it said to start my engine, then it said to connect my device, went thru boot and voila a solid blue lite. Android Auto started on my head unit about 10 seconds later. Now granted, I haven't been out and around, but very impressive. One question. It says the firmware version is 1.6 and there is no upgrade available

USA Honda CRV 2017
[Android Auto General] SkyNaras:
VAG fix is on. but there is absolutely no change. All other settings were also tested and absolutely no change. There is a constant rebooting. When the phone is connected directly to the cable, everything works perfectly.

Now it is 1.4.0, can I test firmware 1.7.1?
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi, I have exactly the Same behavior. I have a Sharan with Mib 2, too. Do you have any solution for that Problem? Thanks.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sure, you're device had been set to 1.4.0 by support (I guess). You can now upgrade to 1.7.1.

@DevAuto @vizzze

I solved my problem !!! Hope it helps you vizzze, and others who experience bad location accuracy / zoom behaviour with Waze.

Do not activate the tap limit bypass in the experimental features !

I figured out it is not really just deactivating the limit, but makes the system think the car is stopped. Then GPS location is not accurate, and moreover, Waze doesn't work really well. Google maps seems to handle it better but still, GPS location is still approximative.

Once this option is deactivated, the experience is actually flawless. Waze is showing acutal speed, GPS location is accurate, zoom behaves normally.

@DevAuto , IMHO it would be useful to add a disclaimer about this when activating this feature, even if is an experimental one. What I understand here is 100% of the users using the tap limit bypass will experience a bad GPS behaviour, so I'm pretty sure you are going to receive new requests regurlarly.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
That makes sense, first time i tried AAwireless i didn't activate this feature, then playin with the system i changed several things including DPI (that i also tried to set back to standard for this) but didn't think about the tap limit...

I'll try that too to verify this. Good job finding this! Cheers
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Yes great success when using Android Auto 6.2. AA 6.0 and AA 6.1 not so much with Android 11 and One UI 3 on my Galaxy S20 FE 5G. The phone could take minutes to connect when sleeping in my pocket.

Try to get Android Auto version 6.2, something about Galaxy phones with Android 11 and One UI 3 caused connection problems that Android 10 did not have. Google Play store may not update Android Auto for you, it uses some special sauce that prevents it from distributing code when it is needed. You can find Android Auto 6.2 on APKMirror.

I posted my settings in post 139 and 140

One more thing to check, is "Wireless Android Auto" checked in the Android Auto Settings? It must be checked. If the prompt is not in Settings, you will need to enable Developer mode by pressing ten times on the Android Auto Version display, then enter the "Developer settings" menu using the three vertical dots in the upper right of the Settings screen. Then check "Add wireless projection to settings" in the Developer Settings menu.

[Android Auto General] jasqid:
Hi Everyone. I just spent the last couple days installing/setting up a Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX into my 2012 Tahoe. Its a Wireless AA head unit. I have an LG V40, which I learned today is not necessarily/officially supported for wireless AA. However, I got it working. And it seems to work flawlessly but ill admit Im also a noob to it.

I am not sure if this is the place to ask, nor am I sure if it is capable, or my device is capable... to use the mobile connection to access internet while connected to AA wirelessly?

Yes. I had to activate developer mode of AA and turn on wireless display casting. Once I got through that I was wondering why it was connecting to AA but offline. Realized it I had to change the setting in the phone to "use mobile data if WiFi has no internet connection".

This is the point I got it working. With this said, the head unit also has an ability to connect to wifi to get internet and activate Alexa, sports/weather and the browser. I have noticed when I turn on the mobile hotspot of my phone it disconnects AA because it needs the phone's wifi to do the hotspot. Is there a way to bridge the headunit to access the mobile data connection of the phone? Or is this a hardware limitation of some sort?
[Android Auto General] BlockZwo:
Thanks, i'll try it this afternoon.
[Android Auto General] spacemanvt:
Incorrect. RCD330 is a Android Auto VW Head Unit that works great. I have just installed it on in my Mk6, and it works well with the wired connection.

Genuine Not fake RCD330 PLUS RCD340G Noname 187B For Jetta Golf Passart Tiguan Polo 6R | RCD330 Plus | RCD340G

www.rcd330.com

I believe this AAWireless unit should be able to provide the wireless functionality.
[Android Auto General] -DDD-:
You're right, I assumed the standard Golf mk6 Rcd's
[Android Auto General] andy o:
This thread is for a device called "AAWireless" on Indiegogo, not for Android Auto wireless in general.

With that said, it seems what you want would require both the head unit and the phone to support connecting to a WiFi network and to set up a hotspot simultaneously, which doesn't seem likely either device would support in the way that you need them to. The Pixels can turn on hotspot and be connected to a WiFi network at the same time, but AFAICT they only share the WiFi network's internet (not the mobile) through that hotspot. You see how this would be a problem in your case, even if the Pioneer could turn on wireless AA and connect to a WiFi network at the same time. But in any case it doesn't seem like your phone supports this feature if when you turn on the hotspot it automatically disconnects from WiFi.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
To do mirroring you still needs to root your phone, i suppose?
[Android Auto General] PSSSC:
Hey Guys,

I received my AAWireless the last couple days and it connects really fast (<15sec) with my Ford Transit from 2019 and Sync 3 on my Huawei P30.

There is only one Problem I could not fix yet: whenever being connected to the Dongle, my phone tries to route to the Internet via Wi-Fi, which isn't working as AAWireless is not a mobile Hotspot obviously.

Does anyone know which settings I have to use so the phone uses the mobile data even when connected to WiFi?
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
To enable Android auto mirroring you only need to access the developer settings, no root needed
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
I confirm that disabling this option fixes the GPS issue
[Android Auto General] maio.cod:
First time supporting a project on Indiegogo and very happy having done that!

Here's my experience, with the few app I use, AA wired vs. aawireless

Car: Skoda Karoq MY2019, MIB2 head unit (5Q0035864C), HW: H41, SW: 0475

Phone: Oneplus 6, Android 10

Maps: GPS positioning is not super precise, wired is just a bit better than wireless, but still not perfect

Waze: a little better than Maps, but again not perfect in both situations, wired or wireless

TuneIn: always works flawlessly

WhatsApp: always works flawlessly

Google Podcast: no problems with cable, but when using aawireless atfter few minutes it stops and even makes the head unit rebooting

Spotify (this makes me crazy): it works properly maybe 1 out of 10, well-known issue of "Spotify doesn't seem to be working right now". No difference between wired and wireless.

Long story short: if it works wired, it works wireless (well, with an exception in my case).

It's impressive how well this little dongle works, considering the infinite combinations of phones & cars, with all the related SW versions, it has to deal with!

@Emil Borconi thumbs up for you mate!
[Android Auto General] Nudnik_de:
Thanks for the feedback. Checked your posts and crosschecked my settings.

Was able to reset AA Wireless at my USB charger at home and reverted to standard settings.

I'm confident that the settings in AA were the same at the beginning. Updated AA to the 6.2.xx version from play store and had to install AA for smartphones too as I could not access it any more. Probably I had a very old AA version that wasn't updated with Android 11 update.

Even at home charger connection went well and blinging blue, Notifications telling me searcving for AA.

Went into car, plugged in and there it was! :)

Even working with VPN tunnel on!

Connection needed aprox. 15 sec.
[Android Auto General] BlockZwo:
That did the trick, thx.
[Android Auto General] LorD ClockaN:
I have wifi charging under the infotaintment system in my Tiguan and if Phone is wirelessly charging and using aaWireless, the connection is lost after about half a minute..

Might be phone related... also the gps position then starts to lag and then it disconnects and reconnects
[Android Auto General] alexerez:
did you fix the problems on the hyundai i20?

No more resetting or plugging and unplugging cables?
[Android Auto General] porotikos:
guys quick question. aawireless only has one usb right? which is for connecting to the car's usb?

or does it have also extra usb so that you can hook something else on it, for example a usb stick? becuase cars with only one usb lose the opportunity to attach usb with music when aawireless is connected. i wish it has one extra usb. (or even better 2).
[Android Auto General] LorD ClockaN:
only one

also I don't know if cars even have the possibility to have connected 2 devices at once.. Probably depends on the usb controller that they use
[Android Auto General] porotikos:
thank you my friend. well, my car can have only one usb stick connected. a usb hub doesnt work at all.

But if the usb stick is connected on the aawireless itself, and through that it communicates with the car's infotainment system, it could work. I wish there was a workaround to make the cars usb duplicated. that way i could have usb stick and aawireless at the same time. anyway, perhaps i am a bit off topic. so i will stop writting.

perhaps in teh future the creator of aawireless could impliment such a usb port.

Thank you all

ps. i thought of another workaround. if i connect my usbstick to my phone itself, and the phone is connected to car via the aawireless's wifi, can i stream my phones music via wifi? (not bluetooth, wifi)

ps2. is there a way to buy the aawireless without paying customs, if you live in europe?

it would be great, if someone can confirm this:

can the files you have stored in your phone, be played through wifi (via aawireless) in your car? .via wifi and not bluetooth. this is important to me.

i would be grateful for an answer. thank you
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you post your device's name, to check if it's maybe also a Harman HU?
[Android Auto General] stan79:
No solution. I tried on all usb cables and even on the latest version 1.7.1 software. Nothing works. AAwireless has became a white elephant for me.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Are you on the internal beta app? Updates with it seem kinda sketchy, especially via the pop-up dialogs. Either way, try latest stable app and latest internal beta to see if it helps.

I bet you've got that bug they fixed in 1.7.0 where the internal storage gets filled, so maybe it can't download the update? @Snirpo, any easy fix for that? Factory reset probably clears data if all else fails.

Nope. The AA works fine with wired setup but not with AAwireless. I had tried at least 10 different cables including the original OnePlus and Xiaomi ones too.

Hi, this ist the Device Info
[Android Auto General] QuackVT:
Hi I got my unit in the mail today. I am not able to see it on Bluetooth or WiFi. Have tried a few different cables and also plugging in to laptop. All I get is a blinking green light on the back. Also have tried the reset button. When in the AAW app on my phone it just sits on searching for it. I am using a Pixel5 current on updates. Even when using laptop I see nothing when looking for a WiFi network or a Bluetooth device.

Any help would be appreciated thanks
[Android Auto General] hildemente:
I have exactly the same problem :mad:
[Android Auto General] MoodyStinson:
Hi all,

I have received my AAWireless device a few days ago but I cannot seem to make it work.

I have tested it with:

- 2 different cars : 2018 Seat Leon & 2018 Ford Galaxy

- 2 different phones : Oneplus 8T and Huawei P30

I also tried a hardware reset, with no luck.

When I connect to the AAWireless app, I enable wireless Android Auto and start the process but it fails/stays at the Step 3: Searching for AAWireless device...

On my Oneplus 8T it show a message saying the device cannot be found, and on the Huawei, the step 3 stays indefinitely.

After reading some of the responses out there, I have found on page 12 the LED codes and may have found out why it is not working: the device stays on solid green LED, and it seems like the status for solid green is "booting". This booting phase should complete in under 12 secondes but for me it stays forever.

Do you think my device is flawed? Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you for your help.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Please contact support at support@cpeb.it
[Android Auto General] chrafffa:
Have you ever resolved this issue? My Sony XAV-AX100 and AAwireless restart every 5-15 seconds. Solid blue led into green blinking into solid blue and repeat. Seems like there there is to much load on the device which it cant handle or something.

Edit.: Well the Headunit doesnt restart. Its more like the AAwireless device restarts or AA on my phone (One Plus 8Pro).
[Android Auto General] stan79:
Same for me as well, it will disconnect and reboot. I got my AAwireless in Aug and another replacement unit as well. Both are unusable.

Don't think the set is a lemon but felt that I was conned into buying subpar product.

And the worst part is AAwireless will blame it on the cables (i tried more than 10 cables including the 2 cables that comes with the set plus 1 x original OnePlus cable and 1 x original xiaomi cable) and no solution from them at all.
[Android Auto General] bdalenoord:
I haven't really resolved it, it's just that the issue is less common for me. It can be every 5 minutes some rides, whereas on other moments I don't see a problem during an hour-long ride. Thusfar, for short rides I've been using AAWireless whereas when I know that I'll be driving for longer than about 30 minutes, I just plug in the phone.

I do understand from your message that wouldn't be an option, because every 15 seconds is too often to be able to use it at all...
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We are doing out best to support every HU possible, but this is not an easy task... It's your right to believe the product is subpar of course. The reason why we suggest to try different cables is because this is a general Android Auto problem. For situations where it really does not work at all for some reason, we also provide refunds.
[Android Auto General] kevria:
Did the firmware update procedure change? Im on the latest android app but OTA Update shows that there are "No updates available" but Im only on 1.5.0.
[Android Auto General] stan79:
Pls advise how the refund process. Thanks.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I guess you already have a ticket. If so, you can just reply and you tried everything, but can't get it to work correctly and want a refund.

A small disclaimer: This is not a jail free card to just "try" the device. We have support to help solving issues and normally we also first swap the device if we think the problem is device related.
[Android Auto General] noctilion:
Hi all,

have someone try the new Xiaomi 11T with AAWireless or info where looking for information about the compatibility and if is working good?

Thanks a lot,

mmm, it would be the first OTA update. So would be strange if storage was filled.
