Well Fermata wasn't updated and all this happened just after I applied the firmware update. 😬

Yes please.

The BT name in the app is showed as

Cr4z33 AAwireless 68c79977

while in Android Bluetooth settings it is

Cr4z33 AAwireless

.

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] Jochen Scheuerer:
Tested, new DEV version one hour ago. It works as usual, with Fermat Auto 1.9..9 as known, without any problems in this area. Videos can be watched, and also the AA icon is listed in the AA launcher together with Fermta FS etc. Used by an S23U with A14 and UI6
[Android Auto General] greenblueye:
Im using this dongle ,

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyCZpZx, is it possible to activate developer settings for this device?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Nope, its an AAWireless feature.
[Android Auto General] greenblueye:
With this dongle im able to connect AA with wireless on car but i cannot see apps like formata etc. This dongle must be an android box, is there no way to change device developer options?
[Android Auto General] Cr4z33:
I wonder then why Fermata stopped video playback for me after the dongle firmware update.

Btw I am on a S24 Ultra with latest (A14) firmware.
[Android Auto General] mike.s:
You seem confused. This thread is for AAWireless, a specific product which plugs into a car or headunit which supports wired Android Auto, and makes it available wirelessly.

There are other boxes available which provide similar functionality, such as the Motorola MA-1, but which don't offer the level of support or continuous development which AAWireless provides.

You appear to have one of the "cheap from China" ones, not an AAWireless unit. This thread doesn't apply to what you have, and I doubt you'll find any useful support for yours. Caveat emptor.
[Android Auto General] jv.batista:
So I guess I now have a new message and I think someone already mentioned something similar a few posts ago.

I do not recall on having this prior to 3.2.0(cause I've enabled debug builds and have been updating it regularly). Luckily most of the time the auto focus thing works and I barely can see it. (so far only one time it stayed there after the connection rebooted for some random reason, but if you're not really paying attention to it you'll miss it, I'm still shocked that I could take a photo of it)

Any ideas?

ps: I don't think it's related with the latest update I did to my head unit tbh...
[Android Auto General] Cr4z33:
@Snirpo you were correct and I was wrong: Fermata video playback still not available for me. 😭

Sorry to bother you, but could you please allow my dongle to "revert" again to latest firmware (instead of the downgraded one)? 😅

At this point I don' know where to start to track down the issue...

I own a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with latest March 2024 firmware, One UI 6.1, Android Auto v11.4.640814-release and Fermata v1.9.9.

The car is a Ford Ka+ Active from year 2019 (and its entertainment software updates have ended in year 2021).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No problem, I'm kinda used to "I updated my firmware and now it doesn't work anymore" messages. 😅 Same story with every firmware update we release. You're back on beta now. Did you try a clear cache and data of AA? Or possibly check if "Unknown sources" is enabled in the AA developer settings?
[Android Auto General] Cr4z33:
Yep both done and checked, but after clearing Fermata is now COMPLETELY gone from AA lol.

Dunno where to hit my head.

I've posted on the dev's GitHub to see if he comes up with any other fix.
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
Since I'm on 3.5 dev firmware I have noticed some things.

Car is still Opel Corsa F from 2020 latest infotainment update (Bosch).

Sometimes when I hear music and i come into places where a lot cars are music begins to stutters or has dropouts. Was something changed with auto channel band checks in wifi 5ghz? On 3.4 it worked without any issues. Remembers me the issue 2 years ago.

Next thing is that often the Android auto on the infotainment stops and shows that I have to connect a compatible device while still playing music via Bluetooth. Unplugging AA wireless from USB and plugging in solves this and then phone connects again to AA wireless.

Android auto is on version currently 11.5

Is it possible to manually flash back to 3.4 firmware? Device id: jDXWGBAQ

During last year I always was on dev firmwares. There were no real issues until 3.5 last week came in.

I also noticed during 3.3 and 3.4 firmware that sometimes when I opened the car and started engine it seemed that AA wireless was too quick trying to connect with the infotainment because it often couldnt connect with my phone then. Message is the same as above. No compatible device found bla bla. Next time I take a picture of the message. I have to unplug it and plug it in again. then the phone connects to AAwireless and AA. This issue was almost non existent before 3.3.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Nothing has changed regarding wifi on 3.5. I can revert your device back to 3.4, however I can't find your device in our database. Can you double check the name of the device?
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
Weird. Maybe Android auto 11.5 makes again issues. But I'm not sure. There are so many factors that You never know what it could be. AAwireless firmware, AA version and even the damn infotainment software in the car.

The damn copy text from image AI has not properly recognized the font on the Samsung oneui. That's why you couldn't find it. It should be jDXWG8AQ

The latest 3.4 build would be good.

Does this mean that in the future I will not get any more dev updates in the app shown?

Also one question do you know if this device is capable of car play? It's the second gen that was released when you didn't have components during corona for the first gen.

Maybe you can add a click to copy device id into the AAwireless app? Would be useful. Then I do not have to mess around with screenshotting the id.

Thank You guys for developing this device!
[Android Auto General] Cr4z33:
@Snirpo and everybody using Fermata DO NOT ENABLE PASSTHROUGH if you want video playback to be available!

As soon as I disabled it the Fermata video playback feature came back again in AA.

Thanks to @fcaronte for letting me know.
[Android Auto General] Termi93:
Hello together,

i received my AAWireless on yesterdays but couldn't get it to work.

In bluetooth & WiFi mine shows up as AAWireless-593f3477.

I tried several settings & combinations in the app.

Like USB-Mode, Passthrough, Dongle-mode etc. had nearly anything on/off once.

I deletet data/cache for AndroidAuto and for the AAWireless app and tried factory resetting my AAWireless.

On my Phone i'm having 2 notifications regarding AndroidAuto:

1. Connected with your car

2. Looking for Android Auto (with progress-bar)

My car's HU is a VW Disocver Media, running FW MST2_EU_VW_E0220D, which is the stock one it shipped with as far as i know of.

@Emil Borconi @Snirpo i'd be very thankful for some advice. For a 10-Minute commute having AA working wirelessly would be way more reasonable than plugging/unplugging on these short trips.
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
Hi there,

Could you please email us at support@aawireless.io? We can continue troubleshooting there, if that is fine with you as well! Thank you for your cooperation.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Correct, passthrough will disable all intercepting functionality, hence being called passthrough :) Maybe we should make it more clear stuff will be non functional with passthrough enabled.
[Android Auto General] Cr4z33:
Indeed.

Being not someone native English speaking I thought it was an audio option (like ie. DTS or Dolby audio in Kodi). 😅
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Moved your device to 3.4.0. Your device is unfortunately not CP capable.
[Android Auto General] Termi93:
I just did so, hopefully we can sort out the issues.

Will the downgrade be shown in the aawireless app once I'm connected again in the car?
[Android Auto General] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Hi, it is planed to support cp in that devices? or I have to buy a new one? (I have to check mine yet when I will go to the car, but i remember I saw 307 or 317)

For people having 1st gen, is there any discount who bought the units from indiegogo? Personally I think it's the best aa/cp dongle atm

My unit was delivered on october 2021 units (supossed to be 2nd gen as the email says:

Estimated delivery: October 2021
Pre-Order your AAWireless unit. This set of items will have 2nd gen hardware.

but carplay is not detecting it). I will check hw later and I edit the post

Thanks

EDIT: I can't see hw version anymore as it is updated
[Android Auto General] Jochen Scheuerer:
Hello all… Any idea how to change the selected icon in the AA menu in the HU when the AAW has started. In my case the active (marked) Icon is the Setting Icon, which is the last one in my sorting in the HU overview.
[Android Auto General] ddiehl:
Hi... Lately I've been encountering the following error:

AAWireless Connection Canceled. Vehicle is a 2017 VW Golf. Anyone else encounter this and if so what was the workaround?
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
Is this an error you see on the head unit? Does it appear at random times during your drive? Does the connection resume afterwards or do you manually have to reconnect?

Could you please provide this information at support@aawireless.io? We can check your dongle's settings and help you with this issue there.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Hello together. I have a technical question to the developers: is it possible to integrate emulation of touch inputs on the head unit through a companion app? I mean in the case that AAWireless option of Passthrough is deactivated.

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah possible, but why would you want this?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Hey Snirpo,

Thank you very much for the quick response.

I don't like to have Google Maps as start app.

I tried everything to have another app as start app, but did not find a way to change it.

My last hope is to emulate touch inputs on the head unit.

Can you please give me some support how to emulate touch inputs?

Thank you very much.
[Android Auto General] arnbarnb:
Is there a quick way to temporarily disable my phone's connection to the AAWireless device?

I recently installed an AAWireless in my 2017 VW Alltrack. It works great, automatically launching Android Auto on the car's display within seconds of starting the infotainment system. However, sometimes I don't want or need Android Auto running on my Pixel 7A (Android 14). Since the Google Auto app seems to be hidden in newer versions, and Android Auto uses a lot of battery, I'd like to know if there's a simple way to disable the connection without having to uninstall or forget the AAWireless device. For longer trips or low phone battery situations, I can use my 12V USB adapter plug.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
You can turn off Bluetooth and Wifi before entering the car.
[Android Auto General] arnbarnb:
Well that did not work, because the phone, a Pixel 7A, turned both Bluetooth and Wifi back on :eek: Tried it numerous times in the car with same results, away from the car both settings remained off as expected. I also want to keep Bluetooth on for hands free phone calls.

Update: The only method I found to disable wifi and keep it off was to turn on the phone's Airplane mode. However, even with Bluetooth on I was unable to make calls becuase the phone was disconnected from the phone provider's network. Also Android Auto auto started, then complained abount not having a wifi connection.

I'm also unable to try setting the AAWireless wifi network to not autoconnect because it does not show up in Saved Networks.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We can add a feature to disable AAW temporarily. Will probably add it as an "app shortcut" so you can place it on your homescreen.
[Android Auto General] Lapilala:
I just recently bought the AAWireless and I am pretty happy with it.

However, I noticed there is a problem with AA not being displayed in fullscreen wide mode on Mercedes cars. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and driving a Mercedes CLA from 2021 with MBUX and ngt6.0 entertainment system. I was hoping to get fullscreen by emulating AA via Carplay, but it didn't work.

Did someone find a solution to display AA with widescreen in any way on a Mercedes car with MBUX + ngt6.0 ?
[Android Auto General] arnbarnb:
That sounds good.

While I have your attention, where do I find documentation for the app's multitude of device settings?

Also what color should the device's light be when it is connected and properly working? My device is blue and everything seems OK.
[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
NTG6 doesn't support widescreen even in carplay. Only thing you can do is complain to Mercedes for downgrading the newer cars.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Did you turn off Bluetooth and Wifi scanning?

See here:

Manage your Android device’s location settings - Android Help

In the coming months, the Location History setting name will change to Timeline. If Location History is turned on for your account, you may find Timeline in your app and account settings. Learn m

This was the trick that I needed to keep Bluetooth and Wifi off.
[Android Auto General] RizSher:
Question : how well would AAW on 2.4 Ghz wireless?.

We have a bit of a strange problem, im in Android, and for some strange regulatory reason, my samsung phone can only see wifi channels in thr 149-15x range, does NOT see any 36-44 wifi channels!!!. The wifes iphone, on the other hand، only sees channel 36-44, no higher.channels.

I have considered 2 options:

1) this is only a thought exprtiement, dont think i will go this way: get a 2 to 1 USB splitter/selector, get anithr AAW, set.one for channel 153, the other for channel 36, we use the selectot button on the USB switch ti choose which aAW is active deoending whether I,.or the Mrs is using the car

2) Switch the AAW to 2.4 G wifi, problem solved

But, wondering if 2.4 will not be the ideal user experience..

@Emil Borconi, @Snirpo My wife and I love Android Auto Wireless, and it works great with our 2020 Subaru Crosstrek, but I have a question. I don't have Beta enabled in the app for firmware upgrades, and yesterday I got an update prompt for the 3.5.0, however, I'm always hesitant, as:

AAWireless | Firmware changelog

AAWireless is the world’s first and leading wireless Android Auto™ dongle. ✓ Works out of the box. ✓ Comes with free companion app. ✓ Connects automatically after setup.

www.aawireless.io

still says it's rolling out in Beta. Is it still in Beta or is 3.5.0 Stable?

Besides that, it would also be helpful if that page would start showing what date a version came out (in Beta or Stable), as I frequently like to give updates for almost everything an extra week or a month in general just in case.

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Ralegend:
Hi. My AAWireless device has arrived.

Passthrough is disabled, developer mode is enabled. Fermata Auto still does not appear on my car's Android Auto.

The other method (headunit) works. I can mirror the Fermata Auto via Fermata Mirror to the my car's Android Auto successfully.

I am confused. I prefer the AAWireless option. Could you please help me on that? Thank you.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
2.4Ghz is a lot slower. I tested 2.4Ghz. Every touch input had a delay. But it works if you don't find another solution.
[Android Auto General] RizSher:
+1 for this - it's almost impossible to stop AA from taking over, short of unplugging the dongle!!
[Android Auto General] lnwj:
Hi all, I have a 2020 Corolla Sedan (USA). This car only supports CarPlay, not Android Android Auto.

We purchased the latest version of AAWireless and enrolled in the beta program to enable AA over CP and it actually loads in the car and looks and works like native AA, which is amazing.

We have 2 problems though which is why I am posting.

1. It takes 1 to 4 "reboots" of the dongle to finally load AA (the light goes through the flashing green and flashing blue before resetting and trying again on its own).

2. Once loaded phone calls through AA are in fast forward and sound like a chipmunk. Occasionally GPS also lags, I'm not using the infinite touch setting.

I've spent hours tweaking the various settings and modes but haven't found a combo that fixes these issues.

Appreciate any guidance!
[Android Auto General] alexxutzu:

Hey @Snirpo , I updated the Dutch language again with the new strings that needed to be translated.

Is it BTW possible to add new languages or suggest?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Thanks. Also updated myself a while ago. It's not perfect, but well... Yeah I can add languages. Which language do you want to be added?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Blue means working correctly, so you're ok.

It's not possible right now, we have to implement it. But it's quite some work and it will be pretty wonky with all the screen sizes and stuff.

AA over CP is still very much beta quality. We'll add these issues to our backlog, but right now AA over CP has low prio.
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Yeah i started the app and did see some english, looked back at the website and there were some new strings. Russian please.

Any plans to add carplay compatibility with 1st and 2nd aawireless devices in next fw updates?
[Android Auto General] arnbarnb:
Disabling Maps stops it from starting with Android Auto. I tried this, it works, and I can run Waze as the primary navigation map. Running both Waze and Maps simultaneously drained my Pixel 7A's battery, especially noticeable now with the phone not plugged in and connecting via Wifi.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Yes I know this.

But I still want to use Google Maps, but not as start app.

I use Google Maps only during holidays, but not on a daily base.

I prefer for example the music app as start app or the weather app. That's more important during daily use.
[Android Auto General] arnbarnb:
Current information suggests there isn't a way to achieve that using Android Auto. However, I'm open to being corrected – if anyone has a solution, please share it!
[Android Auto General] zaang:
@Snirpo I have the Portuguese translation Pt-pt almost completed, tomorrow it is done. See your crowdin. I hope you can include it in the next version of the app.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Not sure what you mean. AAWireless 1 (except gen1) + 2 both have CP compatibility.

Thanks! Will be automatically included :)
[Android Auto General] NeoPhyTe.x360:
@Snirpo

I couldn't see in my device which gen is now, nor in android and ios neither because I saw when update is available, and for now there aren't any updates. In updates screen is not appearing what release I have (I updated latest beta weeks ago but didn't pay much attention about "cs").

I suppose to have 1st gen because carplay is not working, ios can't see device. But in the email I received years ago from indiegogo it says that they would ship 2nd gen.

In case suposing I have 1st gen.

Do you have planned to add carplay support to 1st gen devices, or there is any hw incompatibility that make that impossible?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] nessh:
Hello,

I used aawireless with my Mate20 without issue. I changed my phone to honor magic6 pro and wifi always disconnects after few seconds (if connects...)

I would like to try connecting without the app but i can not find the password for it. Could someone tell me the default pw?
[Android Auto General] lnwj:
Thanks for the reply, I'd happy to provide the log files if they would help the team out once they get to that point in development down the line.

For now we just unplug AAWireless when we need to make/accept phone calls.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Today I tried WiFi client mode. Unfortunately Android Auto does not start any more at all.

I know it is experimental.

In my opinion there is a topic with start stop automation.

After disabling client mode start stop automation was turned on and Android Auto did not start until I turned start stop automation off.

Did anyone else experience this? Do you have a solution?

Background why I tried this: I want to add a camera in the same WLAN. By this I can communicate with the cam directly without having to change the WiFi.

Thanks.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
In the latest app you can check the hardware model in settings screen. If it says cs307*** or rockpi***, theres no CP support. The CarPlay settings will also be missing.

Unfortunately we can't support CarPlay on the cs307 right now. USB Host/device mode switching (which is nessecarily for CP) is broken in the vendor kernel. Maybe somewhere in the future we will have time to try to fix it, but it's a massive amount of work (for the few people who are actually going to use CP).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Wireless AA is broken on the Magic 6 Pro. Manually connecting to wifi won't work. What you can potentially try is start/stop mode. Maybe that works. It makes the AAWireless companion app control the wifi connection .
[Android Auto General] jabberbox:
Received my order from Amazon and would like to use Carplay. I believe I need to update the firmware but I do not have an Android device. The password 12345678 to connect over Wifi also is not working. Any suggestions?

@Snirpo

From some days ago I don't have any android device to check app here, I only can see settings from aawireless http hotspot, it doesn't show any version there until a new version is released

The only I can see on settings is this two options (screenshot) regarding Carplay. But ios is not showing anything on "Carplay devices" nor in bluetooth devices. My car is a Hyundai ioniq 2019, no problems with android so far. My device right now is 15 pro max with ios 17.4.1
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Ah right, I'm not sure if we show the hardware model on the webapp. I'm also not sure if the webapp is enabled on gen1 devices, it might be, but it shouldn't. I'll ask our webapp dev.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I see you were able to upgrade with an Android phone. (y)

@Snirpo When was released the AAWIRELESS app version 4.6 - 1520?

I noticed that already have my translation into Portuguese (which I finished yesterday), but in the playstore it says that the last update is from March 31.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Translations are updated independent from the app.

@Snirpo I thought it was only included when a new version was compiled.

Hi!

Thanks for your awesome work!

I do have a 2016 Citroen C4 with only wired carplay working :'(

I saw in your device changelog it has now a beta option allowing android auto over carplay protocol.

Is it usable for daily usage?

Also I read it's only working with AAWireless version 2. Is it this model https://www.aawireless.io/aawireless-2 ? It's only preorder sales?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Varies by car. I dont have information about your car unfortunately. AA over CP is tricky to get working correctly on all cars. The current version of AAW supports it on firmware 3.x.
