Exactly the Same Problem.

But, Listen to me: The Problems are very very rare! Before, with the cabled using, i got so many other Problems that are now gone!

One thing i had every time with AAW: The using of Google Maps in a Higher sight is jiggling(?) (Sorry, dont know what the german "ruckeln" means in english). The delay is heavy in higher sights of this app.

New version of the AAWireless config app in the Beta channel. 1.8.1

Fixes a problem found with the new Start / Stop feature. There is still a problem when you turn the Start / Stop setting off. You will need to cycle the USB power on the device for it to take effect. Future firmware for the AAWireless device will be needed to address that problem.

So if you have a vehicle that leaves the USB power on after you turn off the ignition, give the 1.8.1 Beta a try.

Its "lagging" ;) Did you activate the "Remove tap restriction" option..?

Car: Mercedes A180 2015 (NTG5.1 head unit)

Phone: Pixel 5, Android 11

Got my AAWireless unit today but unfortunately i get random disconnections - sometimes after minutes and sometimes after seconds. Couldn't really reproduce them yet. Different USB modes, force 2.4 ghz wifi, passthrough mode didn't fix it for me yet. Also disabled battery optimisation and wifi/bt scanning for location.

Just signed up for the beta and will check if things are better.

Edit: beta didn't fix it and the "allow audio latency dump" setting also not
[Android Auto General] limited73:
Any timeline on a fix for Nissan? I've been in contact with support for over a month now, sent logs, tried different cables, all the settings...nothing.
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
I am using the passthrough Mode, so i can't Change anything ;)
[Android Auto General] TheUntouchable:
Ah ok I see, then I don't have an idea sorry :(
[Android Auto General] ahecht:
No luck on my 2018 Chevy Volt with MyLink. Closest I got was a pop-up on the car's screen asking me to accept the Android Auto warnings, but after that I don't get an Android Auto icon on the screen, and clicking Projection does nothing -- not even the normal "No device connected" error message. My phone buzzes every few seconds saying "Connected to your car", but the "Searching for Android Auto" message never goes away.
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
No problem at all, but thanks.

Direct-Mode let crash the HU many more times than PT. So it isnt a really a option for me :)
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Here are the LED codes for OTA firmware 1.3.0. Added Blinking White to the list

Solid Green, the device is booting, should complete in under 12 seconds. Both the Bluetooth and WiFi are not active until after the boot is completed.

Blinking Green, the device has activated Bluetooth and is waiting for a WiFi connection from your phone. You will only be able to pair while under blinking green.

Blinking White, the device has completed boot and is waiting for the Head Unit Bluetooth to connect with your phone. The device will not take over the Wi-Fi on your phone while it is blinking white. You will be able to connect your phone to any other Wi-Fi network. Use the Start / Stop Option to enable this mode.

Blinking Blue, the device has fully connected with your phone and is attempting to connect with your head unit via USB.

Solid Blue, the device is full connected with your phone and the head unit. The first time you connect you may need to set some Android Auto permissions and some head units may also produce prompts for you to answer.

Solid Yellow, the device is loading an OTA update into memory.

Red, an error has occurred, the device will attempt recovery after a timeout.

None / Black The LED will not be active when you first apply power for a very brief time. And the LED will not be active at all when the device is ready to be flashed from your computer. It will remain inactive until the flash program completes loading the firmware and reboots the device.

The general rule is that blinking means the device is waiting for something to happen. Solid means the device is engaged in some type of work.

I just recieved my unit, i had some troubles connection to the car. It is a Citroen C3 from 2020.

I just found that i have to delete known connections in android auto.

If i leave car known in android auto, it will connect phone and sound is transmitted from phone to car, but there is no picture.

If i delete car from android auto, and accept connection again, i get display and sound.

Anybody know what to do ?

I tried the stop/start function, but i dont know how to use it, how to active handsfree in citroen c3 ??
[Android Auto General] seseattle:
Just went out to my truck to flash the new firmware and it was dead. The battery was at 7V. It's a 2019 Ram 1500 and the only thing different was that I left the AAWireless plugged in overnight with the USB Off option.

Could it be hanging while flashing white and drawing more power in that state?
[Android Auto General] mackus44:
I received my box today. Unfortunately I have problems so far: The box is recognized as a Bluetooth device AAWireless-Axxxxx, the coupling is started and then canceled with "no connection possible". The coupling starts again, etc. in a continuous loop.

An AAWireless-Axxxxx WLAN is generated by the box.

The app has updated to 1.3.0 via OTA

Can someone help?

Audi A3 8Y with MMI,

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, Android 11

Can someone help?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I'm no expert but try connecting to it via a USB power source, out of the car.

1.30 is the FW for the device, not the app, so you might have it out of the box, or it may be available to you.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I got the email update so I spent some time in the Polo and did the 1.30 update, taking me off the experimental VAG FW, which my headunit didn't like too much but I was getting by.

I re-enabled Direct mode but left Force 2.4ghz on, and the Google Assistant didn't take over the audio controls anymore and seemed more responsive again. I will test it further.

I had a look at the start/stop feature as the VAG cars don't power it up constantly, but at least for a few minutes and when I make a call after parking the audio is routed strangely, so I'd like to try this feature.

However, when I turn it on I can't get AA to display. After a while, and unplugging etc I got the settings to show and turned it off and was able to get AA running. Checked again when I got to my destination, same thing. I sent a bug report through.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
When you enable the Start / Stop feature, be certain to also select the name of your vehicle Bluetooth. The paired Bluetooth devices will be displayed with the Start / Stop enable slider. Your phone will wait for the vehicle Bluetooth to connect before activating Android Auto on the AAWireless device.

The waiting is done using events on the phone, your phone battery is conserved in this way.

LeRoy
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
So it might be a little slower than without this feature enabled? First time using it today and it really only needs to be an auto stop feature, unless it's there also for cars having trouble starting? If so it would be handy to split the functions so you can have only auto stop.

That said, I was testing again and with it enabled my Delphi VAG headunit would not show AA, then after seeing your post I went into the BT settings and touched the AAW unit I was using, I think, and AA began to be displayed.

I tried a power cycle and waited for the light to turn off and it seemed to work automatically the next time but a bit slower.

Next I left the car for at least a half hour and it was no longer working, red light all the time, needed to kill USB power to quickly get into settings to disable start/stop and all is pretty good otherwise on the stable 1.30.

Music playback seems to be better in terms of skipping so far.

I'll test out the Harmin headunit in the GTI when I can.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It's next on my list. We have a tester which also has issues with his Nissan, so we can reproduce. This is a very low level issue, we don't know yet how to fix it. I bought an USB debugger to check what is happening. I can't really give a timeline. Can take a week, can take a month, or maybe we can't fix it with software at all and have to look on the hardware side.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
I can confirm this, had the same experience. When making a phone call in the car, when you keep the conversation and remove the car key, the audio goes from BT of the headunit to the BT of aawireless and you loose the communication (not the call itself but the audio), but i was able to select the phone speaker on the Phone and keep talking on the phone.
[Android Auto General] andreiav:
Do owners of VAG cars with Technisat headunits that reboot need to activate any setting in the new FW version? I didn't get a change to test it yet. Do we need to activate "Adjust audio timestamp"? Or is this no longer necessary?
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
It needs to be activated yes. But it will be automatically turned on if the AAwireless unit recognises you have technisat mib2 after updating to 1.3.0.

I believe the wording of adjust audio timestamp will also be updated to something more specific in a later release, like VW crash fix.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
So the Timesamp is not really needed in Delphi or Harmin VAG units?
[Android Auto General] wainy54:
The start/stop feature is a welcome improvement with my A5. Whilst it doesn't leave the USB port powered on permanently, it leaves it on for a couple of minutes.

With the feature enabled AA stops when I turn off the ignition and open the door. This is good because it allows me to open things like Google maps on the phone.

However, the phone still remains attached to the AA wi-fi and doesn't rejoin my home WiFi until the AAwireless unit loses power (a couple of minutes).

I'm not sure if this is intentional/expected behaviour?

For my use case, it would be nice if AAwireless sent a wi-fi deauth or something after AA stops (if that didn't introduce some other issue).

It's a really minor inconvenience, I'm more than happy with the product and the continued development.
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
No not needed. It's specific to technisat units.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Thanks, good to know.
[Android Auto General] Marcolino974:
Ciao, ieri è arrivato il dispositivo, ho scaricato l'app e sul display dell'auto si accende Android Auto (peugeot 5008). Ora ho solo un problema, wifi connesso, ma internet non disponibile. Come posso risolvere? Grazie
[Android Auto General] twingo_man:
Hello,

I received mine today

It's working fine in my Renault clio 4 with rlink

But in my Renault clio 5 (my main car) with easylink, it doesn't work

The led blinks sometimes in blue, sometimes in green. And I have this on the phone:

I tried all the usb mode with or without passthroug activated, but nothing changes...
[Android Auto General] Limpperi:
You have to enable "request video focus on startup" from android auto developer settings. My C3 works best with direct usb mode. Returning back to android auto via the soft buttons and steering wheel controls a are known bug
[Android Auto General] rd-Target:
I received my unit today. First setup went smooth and it connects just fine, even when leaving and coming back to the car.

Went for a short drive (20 minutes), and the head unit rebooted a couple of times. After coming home I did an OTA (from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0), and that hopefully fixed the problem.

Phone: Xiaomi Mi 10 w. Android 11 (Xiaomi.eu)

Car: 2020 Skoda Superb 3V

SW Train: MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0478T

I recon it's the latest SW train for my car, but I'm not sure?

In the companion app I've configured the following; USB Mode = Direct, DPI = 110. Everything else is standard.
[Android Auto General] maisonmdsgreen:
Hello my phone is linked to the car's Bluetooth, when I receive my AAWireless can I disconnect an remove conection?
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
You may have entered a password for the AAWireless WiFi network at one time. Check your WiFi settings and forget the AAWireless network. It should return to your home network after removing the AAWireless entry from the list of normal networks.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Android Auto needs the Bluetooth connection to your car, keep it.
[Android Auto General] maisonmdsgreen:
In this case when I use AAWireless the connection of my cell phone would not be with AAWireless instead of the car?
[Android Auto General] luxorjd:
Thanks i will try this later !!
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
If your USB port does not remain powered after you leave your car, Start / Stop will not help you. It may even degrade your experience.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
I also have this issue but the AAWireless WiFi SSID isn't saved anywhere on my device, which seems correct. I even tried setting Start/Stop off and on again and saving, but no luck; it basically just seems like the Stop part isn't fully working as intended.

Hyundai Elantra 2018, stock head unit.

OnePlus 8T, stock Oxygen OS.

Latest AAWireless app and firmware.
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
1.3.0 will fix the headunit crash issue (make sure you have / leave adjust audio time stamp on) and yes you have the most upto date software for your cars headunit.
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
Had the same experience as you with start stop. But as vag cars only leave it powered for a minute or so I have turned the feature off. With it on, it really did slow down the time it took for AA to launch when it would work. With it off its up on my screen but the time I've left my driveway.
[Android Auto General] rd-Target:
Thank you for the reply. :)

Hopefully everything works perfect after the firmware update.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Do you see the flashing white LED when you leave your car?

If not, is your vehicle Bluetooth connection still connected when you leave your car? My Hyundai shuts down the connection when I open the driver door.

Does Android Auto continue to run after you leave your car? On my phone I see one or two Android Auto icons in the notification area when Android Auto is running.

The Start / Stop feature is designed to close Android Auto when Bluetooth from the vehicle is not connected. Since Android Auto is in control of the 'private' WiFi connection to the AAWireless device, that WiFi connection should be torn down when Android Auto is closed.

Start / Stop needs to know which Bluetooth connection to monitor. Make sure to select your vehicle when you enable Start / Stop in the Settings.

LeRoy
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It stays connected to the WiFi network of AAWireless?
[Android Auto General] maisonmdsgreen:
@Snirpo
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
With the new Update (1.3.0) finally the USB Mode isn't grayed within the Passthrough Mode. So i Changed it from MTP to Direct. I will make some test-drives in the next few days. After that i can tell you if the headunit-crashes and the jiggling in the higher sights of Google-Maps are gone :)

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
I think you have a mib2 technisat. You need to turn off passthrough to benefit from the audio timestamp fix which stops the crashing of the headunit.
[Android Auto General] ahecht:
On the new firmware, what does it mean when the LED is flashing blue and yellow?
[Android Auto General] wainy54:
This is exactly what I see. AA is stopped, but the phone remains connected the the AAwireless SSID.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
I don't know about a flashing yellow. The only yellow that I know about is solid when you are loading an OTA firmware update.

The color of the LED may be hard to determine. The sight hole is quite small, maybe it is flashing green that you see.

Flashing green is present when the radios on the AAWireless device are turned on and full connection with your phone has not yet been established.

Flashing blue is present when the AAWireless device has a full connection with your phone and Android Auto is trying to establish a connection to your head unit over the USB cable.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
@wainy54 which phone?
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
I have not primary a Problem with the syncing of the timestamp of audio tracks, but thanks for this answer to solve this.

In the next few days i will test my config and if my error appears, i will try your Idea :) Thank you for helping!
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
All VAG cars seem to power it up when you unlock the car, which is great, things start working before you start the car, and yes, for a few minutes after, which has caused me audio issues. If I'm quick enough to untoggle the BT connectin the sound still comes out of my phone speakers for some reason and that phone call is annoying. This is if I go to the shops, park, and call my wife when I leave the car etc.

I'm not sure about the start part as people who have it much worse than me only need the connection stopped, not started.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Yes, it's just that minute or so can be a bit of a pain, but not the end of the world. Sometimes my AA is up as I start the car, or soon after, depending on if I'm getting straight in, or doing a couple of things. It's better than the cable as you don't have to wait to be in the drivers seat etc.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
This is fine, your phone can connect to both BT at the same time, AAW uses BT to establish the WiFi connection, you will still get phone calls through the car etc.
[Android Auto General] matata86:
Same with me. The phone disconnects from the BT car. AA ends. But the phone stays connected to the wifi network. Start stop mode is active.
[Android Auto General] sidezero:
Exactly the same experience for me since I started using the start/stop feature. Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S20FE.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Yes I have my Elantra Bluetooth device selected in Start/Stop settings, as I mentioned. I even tried selecting it and Saving again just to be sure. It does disconnect from the Elantra Bluetooth device almost immediately after the car door is opened.

What I'm seeing is the same as what @wainy54 reported; AAWireless private WiFi remains connected even when the door has been opened after turning off the car. Seems like it's for the ~1-2 minutes of USB power as mentioned before.

Also, would it be possible to separate Start and Stop so AAWireless will turn on immediately with the car, but then have it Stop when Bluetooth disconnects? More granular control over this feature could be super handy!

Overall loving the product so far, and no major issues here. Thanks for your hard work all!

Edit

: So far I've landed on 140 dpi (default seems to be 150 on my headunit), auto video focus on, and remove tap restriction off since Maps nav still worked decently but just seemed to have a bit more lag with it enabled.

I also found while tweaking that I had to manually toggle Bluetooth off and on to get AAWireless to reconnect after settings changes because of Start/Stop being on, so not sure if that's something that could be improved either, but at least noteworthy for others tweaking. 🙂

hi

does anyone here have same issues:

1) when phone connects to AAwireless - screen turns on on the phone... if screen is already on and phone is unlocked - it opens AA settings (not from AA wireless app, but the settings of AA itself) itself automatically?

2) AA wireless unit restarts itself after about 20 minutes of use

3) problems with YT music - sound freezes for a second from time to time

4) problem with YT Music or Samsung music - when Waze is running: if Waze gives any audio guidance then music glitches for up to 5 seconds.... also voice guidance is glitchy - it freezes between words (some times up to 5 seconds between words of same sentance) or some words just not spoken at all...

5) can't make it autostart AA on my cars screen - managed only to make it open the menu where AA button is located automatically but not to run AA itself..

Samsung S10e with Android 11 - with all updates of all apps that are possible

Hello from Hamburg

Mazda 6 (2019), Samsung S21 Ultra

(Almost) everything works fine.

Except for the following problem:

Turning off the car while playing music ( spotify )

Getting back to car, reconnect, music continues to play

but ...

==> complete sound output goes thru mobile now. Including navigation voice etc.

Everything else works normal.

Only solution at the moment: Stop music before turning off the car.

(AAWIreless is powered down if the car is turned off)

Any hints ?

have you tried to turn off "automatically resume media" in AA settings on phone? who knows if that might help
[Android Auto General] Warelio:
Buenos días desde España. Recibí el martes día 18 de mayo el dispositivo AA Wireless, configurado en un Seat León MY18 con unidad MIB2 standard, aplicando previamente actualización de Firmware 1.3. Se emparejó con mi dispositivo Pixel 4 XL con la Beta de Android 12 instalada sin ningún problema y funcionan perfectamente todas las opciones. Conecta a través de frecuencia de 5 Ghz aunque en ocasiones la calidad de conexión no es buena debido a mi ubicación geográfica, forzando la conexión a 2.4 Ghz. se soluciona la calidad de conexión. Aparte de ese detalle, todo funciona a la perfección y los tiempos de conexión están entre los 15 - 20 segundos, incluso menos tiempo. De momento no he detectado lags en audio o navegación, Asistente de Google y otras apps funcionando hasta ahora correctamente y de manera estable y sin errores. Gracias a los creadores y desarrolladores del proyecto porque de verdad que en mi caso particular funciona de maravilla. Espero que sigan dando soporte y continúen mejorando el dispositivo vía OTA por mucho tiempo. Saludos,
[Android Auto General] Warelio:
Cuando paro el vehículo y desconecto el motor (Seat León MY18) en mi caso Android Auto continúa funcionando en la pantalla durante un rato. Cuando saco llave del contacto sí se desconecta de la pantalla al momento, pero el dispositivo AA Wireless continúa activo durante unos instantes porque le sigue llegando corriente a través de la toma USB y continua conectado al smartphone. Una vez te alejas del vehículo o pasados unos instantes se desconecta. La salida de audio completa a mí me pasa al vehículo, el smartphone no lo toco ya para nada.
