AAWireless is awesome! I bought my first one through Indiegogo which has worked quite well most of the time with my various vehicles and Android phones. I had some issues early on with disconnects and audio skipping but it seemed to be resolved by getting a new phone. Fast forward a couple years, I decided to give an iPhone a try again after being away from Apple for almost 10yrs and first thing I tried to figure out was wireless Carplay. I knew AAWireless has a carplay beta but I had a first gen device so that was a no go. After trying a couple CarPlay devices from Amazon with mixed success and some quirks, I decided to buy a new AAWireless for CarPlay. It works flawlessly and is way better than the other options I tried! I had to enable an option to get my vehicles buttons to work, but other than that - it feels OEM. I'm running an iPhone 15 Pro and a 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. I do miss some features of Android Auto, but I'm enjoying the experience for now!

Good stuff guys! Keep up the killer work.
[Android Auto General] keller.jeff:
That's probably because you don't have access to download the dev version? Just install the version that's on google play and enable dev mode in that one.
[Android Auto General] cybrg4life:
Sorry I'm totally lost in this. I don't know how to enable dev mode in this, and since 2 days ago all worked fine.

Don't know what happened but this is rocket sience to me....
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I have no clue what you want to achieve.
[Android Auto General] cybrg4life:
I want to download the latest Beta build
[Android Auto General] cybrg4life:
I just uninstall and reinstall the Firebase app from my email and now all works again!

I don't have a clue why didn't work before.

Thanks for the help!!!
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
cool. After switching to iPhones, the 2nd generation doesn't work for me. I'm looking forward to hearing from support when they solve the problem with Kia. I have to use carlinkit but it doesn't work as well as I would like
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
What issue do you have?
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
I have already described here. In short, Android Auto works without any problems on both the first and second generation devices. iPhone connects to wireless but nothing happens, the LED flashes green. the radio in the car shows connection for a moment and nothing happens. I sent the logs to support and received a reply that there would be a solution by the end of January.
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
Did you try the settings that fixed my issue here? I had a similar problem in my Kia, has been working fine ever since.
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
I saw and tried this solution. Unfortunately, nothing has changed, I still don't want to connect
[Android Auto General] keller.jeff:
Eww! Switch back to android. lol

iPhones don't use android auto. You want to find an apple carplay forum.
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
great advice...
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
Please email us at support@aawireless.io. I will help you submit a debug log so that I can take a closer look at what is going on there.
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
My friend, I've already done it. I know that carplay is beta, but if it worked, I'm sure it would work better than carlinkit, which I had to buy.
[Android Auto General] adamfozz:
Hi all, I am running android auto on my galaxy s10 connecting to a standard Bosch SLDA head unit in a Suzuki Vitara.

I have tried all of the app troubleshooting, resetting and reinstalling as well as upgrading my head unit to the very latest firmware but I not yet been able to get my AAwireless to work.

The device connects to my phone and the LED turns to flashing blue but whichever setting I try in the AAwireless app settings I cannot get it to go solid blue and so Android Auto never shows up on the head unit. I have tried three different cables all of which work for a cabled connection to the head unit. I also tried an S21 phone with the same symptoms. My AAwireless unit is names bc992b56. It is fully up to date according to the app update check. Android Auto is set to wireless on the phone but that is the only developer setting I have checked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Id really like to get it working as lots of other Suzuki owners on the forums recommended it and have had it working with no issues.
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
Hi there! Please send us an email to support@aawireless.io. We can continue troubleshooting and investigating this issue over there!
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
I am not exactly sure which ticket is yours, but I can guess which issue you are facing since you mentioned the end of January fix. We start developing the fix at the end of January, which is very soon. Hopefully, we will be able to push it immediately after. This KIA issue is an edge case and it requires us to rent a car and debug. Hopefully, you can understand this!
[Android Auto General] adamfozz:
Hi, I sent the request over on Wednesday. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Anybody else have any ideas?
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
I'm looking forward to it and keeping my fingers crossed that it will work! :)
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Hello, I'm still on AAWireless 3.2.0 and everything is working really fine. I have both devices since Ocotober 2021.

Thanks again.

I'm wondering if I should update the AAWireless app.

Is there a changelog?

Is there a possibility in the developer options to change the starting app? Is there any documentation of the developer mode?

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
I cannot seem to find your ticket. Could you please DM me your email address?
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
If an update is available in the AAWireless companion app, we encourage our users to update their dongles. In case something does not go as expected, or you require assistance from us, you can email us at support@aawireless.io. One of the agents will guide you there further.

Yes, there is a changelog on GitHub. Please check: https://www.aawireless.io/firmware-changelog

No, unfortunately, you cannot change the starting app.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If you're talking about updating the app (not the firmware). That can never hurt. Changelog of the app doesn't exist perse, except for the standard changelog messages in the Play Store.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Thank you for your answers.

Very quick and professional.
[Android Auto General] adamfozz:
Hi, I've sent you a private message with the details. Thanks in advance for your help getting it sorted. Adam
[Android Auto General] boshi24:
I had the same problem but on a Audi Mib2 and Xiaomi 12. I tried almost everything but nothing helped. I've started to use a cable again for the last months but today it did not even work with a cable anymore...so I resetted the head unit to factory defaults. Now AAWireless is working again :)
[Android Auto General] adoz12:
2021 MG3 with stock headunit. Using AA wireless over Apple Carplay as the car doesn’t support AA natively.

AA wireless works but none of the touchscreen operates. It just ignores all touch input and I can’t control anything in AA.

Also phone calls still don’t work through the car speakers. AA shows “Bluetooth Not Connected” in the call screen and I have to use the phone to speak.

Also Google assistant cuts out before it responds.

This has been like this for several months now. Any fixes for these issues?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
3.3.0 will be pushed into public beta today with some fixes for AA over CP. Not sure if it will fix the touchscreen issues though.
[Android Auto General] ijuzwa:
Finally, I manage to connect new S23 as well by resting everything to default setting and start from scratch.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, can you tell me if you have random disconnects with Xiaomi 12? Also, if you are using passthrough enabled or any other tweaks?
[Android Auto General] boshi24:
yes, I had "random" disconnects (default AAW settings). I think it mostly happened when I lost my mobile internet connection. It got better with the last update before AAW stopped working. I have to check it again now.
[Android Auto General] adoz12:
@Snirpo Thanks for the info. I shall try it out and let you know how it goes.
[Android Auto General] adamfozz:
Still no resolution to my issue. Pretty much abmn expensive paperweight at this point!

Tried absolutely eveyrhing and all I get is the flashing blue led!
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
I know this would probably be very low on your todo list but would it be possible to add support to use the app.aawireless.io page as a web app?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You mean as PWA? Unfortunately we cannot do that, because we need to run host the webapp on https (because of webworkers) for that, which we can't for technical reasons. However, you should be able to create a shortcut to app.aawireless.io (or aawireless.app <-- prefer to use this one) on your home screen.
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
Sorry for that, just saw you DM'ed me. I cannot seem to find your ticket in our system but I have sent you an email right now!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Are there guys who would like to test a possible VW/VAG crash fix? Please pass me your device name (AAWireless-xxxxx).
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
I would like to test please. My device is AAWireless-nxKUQLfc

Thank you!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Done, you should be able to update.
[Android Auto General] Prpa:
Hi, I would like to test. My device name: AAWireless-gUdgZY66
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
The update process doesnt work for me... after 10 seconds the AAW device reboots and once its bootet again the app says failed. What i am doing wong? The first update worked without issues?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Did the progress "bar" completely fill up? Did the LED on the device went yellow(-ish)?
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
no, none of them.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Done

Oddballs, you have tried a retry?
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
🤣🤣 about 10 times...
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
the device starts at solid blue and turns after 10s to blinking green... the app shows "starting update" but the "progress bar - logo filling animation" does nothing and after the device is up again it shows failed... rebooted the phone 2 times and tried 10 times...
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I'm not sure why it worked the first time, but could you try to update it on an USB power adapter? This way AA won't fully start and won't conflict with the update process.
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
same behavior...
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
do you have a file to update via pc?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Well that i cannot explain... I'll have to look into it. Anyways there's an alternative way to OTA update the device. I'll PM you the wifi password. And you can follow these instructions:

- Download this firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mMXka6khO59Fre3PZgF6RxRKYT5bncjZ/view?usp=sharing

- Connect to the AAWireless WiFi network from a PC (AAWireless-xxxxx) with the password I sent you.

- Go to http://10.42.1.1:8080 in your browser and drag in the firmware file. It will reboot the board when it's done.
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
This worked... Thanks... I will report if the problem is solved with the mib2
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
I took a short ride and could not force the hu to restart (spammed the next title button)... i noticed, that some songs dont start immediatly but with a delay... i think thats the trick 😬. (i had the adjust timestamp option off to test)

Hopefully this is the solution 👍

Please test this if you can....
[Android Auto General] tiniwings:
Hi, Anyone had success with Civic (2016 or later) version? I am able to setup first time but after the car restart it stops working and Head unit shows "Connected device not responding..." message.

Car: Civic 2016

Mobile: Pixel 4

Firmware: 1.2
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Confirmed it with someone else as well. Well if this is the solution, then it's just a bug (or feature?) in Android Auto itself (which the VW can't handle). Has probably been there for years... And somehow, I don't know why yet, more latency (cause of WiFi) makes it worse.

Adjust timestamp is hardcoded to on BTW, to avoid any confusion :)

Update:

Doesn't fully seem to solve it, but it does improve the situation for sure.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
Yes please,

AAWireless-GIvq0NdQ
[Android Auto General] Passi0509:
Will there be Carplay support for CS307 devices too?
[Android Auto General] Radegast12:
Unplugging Xiaomi phones does not depend on fw AAW version. The latter can be the best, any setting, but the disconnection of Xiaomi phones is the fault of those phones.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No, probably not.
[Android Auto General] hocuspocus69:
Hi,

I've aawireless 1st gen and it was wonderful with my xiaomi mi mix 2s with miui 13 and BOSCH SLDA infotainment on suzuki swift (apart mobile connection trick to use) now I've xiaomi mi 13t pro with miui 14 and problem begin...

connection is ok no more problem wifi mobile together but refresh every 2-3 minutes !!! if i touch screeen response time is 2 minutes ... screen refresh during navigation every 3 minutes ....it's unusable now!

Can you help me to solve this problem?

Thanx
[Android Auto General] josefsch:
Hi, my gen1 AAW (uU9qZkbW) is on firmware 3.2.1 and not receiving this 3.3.0 beta, though activated in the AAW app.

I am experiencing quite a lot of connection problems (green - flashing green - yellow - ... loop) recently and hoping for improvement.
[Android Auto General] bart.e:
Hello,

Any of guys got the aa over cp functionality to work?

The dongle works fine in standard aa mode. But as soon as i enable "aa over cp" i see in my car's devices an iphone trying to connect for several seconds and then dissapears.

The blue led keeps flashing and nothing happens after that.

I have firmware 3.2.1 on the aawireless.

I tried removing my phone an re-adding several times.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
3.3.0 hasn't been released just yet. We've been testing in quite some cars this week and have some major CarPlay fixes coming up, so decided to postpone the release a little. It won't fix these kinds of issues though... Sounds more like hardware failure. Can you send in a bug report?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It works, but not on all cars. 3.3.0 will increase compatibility. Is there a reason you want to use AA over CP? For 95 percent of the cars there is no real reason to use it and better to use native AA.
[Android Auto General] bart.e:
Yes, I have a big reason :) ram refuses to date to allow full screen AA while CP is full screen on the 12" display! And I do think it will never update existing cars.

So this would be a big improvement for a lot of uconnect 5 owners!

I have seen other uconnect 5 cars using the aawireless adapter successfully. Is there a beta already beyond 3.2.1 I could test?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, there is a develop firmware, but this is alpha quality. It can break at any time (although normally it's not). I can enable it for your device if you're up for it. Just need the Bluetooth name of your device.
[Android Auto General] bart.e:
My module name is:

aawa6326cac

It's no use to me without this functionality (my stock Hu has wireless AA) so as long as I can update later to a more stable build I have no problem testing alpha.

Thank you for the effort!
[Android Auto General] xrad:
Lately, I have unusual difficulties with phone handover. Usually, when my wife had been using AA, I open the companion app, click the "grab device" button and then reboot the HU. Recently I had to reboot the HU multiple times, and once even the phone until all parts clicked.

For us this is a very common use-case so hopefully you can find ways to improve this.

Stock app and release FW 3.2.1. Gen2. Toyota Corolla 2023 Model
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
What's the name of your device? I'll enable a beta firmware, may improve the situation. You shouldn't have to reboot the HU to switch phones btw. That sounds pretty wonky. Since when did this start happening? Since 3.2.1?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If the HU has built in Wireless AA, you either need to disable the built in Wireless AA or you need to unpair the phone's handsfree to the car, otherwise it will conflict like crazy. This also means you cannot do phone calls without having (AA over) CP (through AAW) connected. In that sense, if you're still within the 30 days return window, I'd return the dongle. It will be a painful experience.

For everyone reading this: if your head unit has built in Wireless AA, DO NOT BUY AAWireless (or any other wireless dongle for that matter). There's no point. It will conflict, and it will not work properly.
[Android Auto General] bart.e:
Yeah I know this is not ideal. I got it new second hand.

The new firmware also shows the same behaviour though.

As soon as I enable AA over CP the donge reboots and I see iPhone in de HU device manager trying to connect. Bubafter a few seconds it just disappears.

So it seems to fail to connect to the HU.

Are there steps in setting up carplay over aa I'm missing perhaps?

I just configure the aawireless using AA. Once it's connected and running I enable AA over CP with the previous behaviour.
[Android Auto General] evoGage:
I have a strange problem suddenly. I have a 7 inch screen in my car and ever since I got the dongle, I've been using 130 dpi which puts the bottom bar to the side. Since yesterday, the bar has moved back down to bottom suddenly and toggling the taskbar widget doesn't seem to work. I have to lower the dpi to 103 for it to move to the side. Which is not ideal because it's too small.

Anyone know what might cause this sudden change? I've even reverted to older versions on AA but to no avail. I'm baffled.
[Android Auto General] xrad:
821ea220 - I had reported the need for the HU reboot several times here, some time ago. It probably got lost in the noise. Note that all the most troublesome cases where when AAW was previously connected to my wife's phone, but only my phone in the vicinity. Today I repeated the test but the wife's phone WAS available, and it worked a lot better. I still had to reboot the HU though.

Does the handover require both phones to be reachable? That would be bad.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you push a bug report through the app? (settings --> top right icon).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Someone on reddit had the same issue. Solution is to clear cache and data of AA (for him anyway).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No, the handover does not need both phones to reachable. However there is a bug (or feature) in the firmware which makes the timeout a bit too long when phones are out of range. This custom firmware fixes this issue and makes sure the timeout is always 5 seconds. AAW will try up to 3 times by default to connect to the phone, then it switches to the next. However... I don't think this needing to reboot the HU is related to this issue, unless this also powers down AAW? But please try the firmware.
[Android Auto General] xrad:
Yes, rebooting the HU also power cycles AAW. But I'm not entirely sure which of the two is to blame for that. I remember having "handover" issues also when using wired AA. It could be the the HU itself is easy to confuse. I'll try the FW as soon as I get a chance.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No too surprised, because the 2023 Toyota HU's are pretty buggy regarding AA. I guess you also had to disable dongle mode because otherwise the connection will only work once?
[Android Auto General] xrad:
Yes, that's correct.
[Android Auto General] sfm_es:
What's the recommended configuration for 2023 Toyota HU's? It's the same for Lexus (Panasonic HU)?

I've tried many different configurations and I didn't find one stable enough. Maybe I'm missing the good combination.
[Android Auto General] nesquix:
Hello guys.

I would like to say thank you in advance for your help. After reading a lot of message in this topic, I didn't found the answer to my question.

Does the Aawireless box working with Chinese phone who don't have android auto as a system app?

I really appreciate your help 🙏
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Everything default, dongle mode off. If that doesn't work your HU is different. Right now we don't really know which exact HU is problematic and which not. Denso HU's in general seem worse, but it may also be software related.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No, you need Android Auto (so also the Play Services).
[Android Auto General] nesquix:
Ok thank you.

I have the Play Services as system app, but not android auto (Oppo X7 Ultra)

It's crazy that google are still blocking the app if not included in the rom.
[Android Auto General] anonymous97:
Hi, I have aawireless up and running on 2020 w205 c-class. I need AA over CP because of the full screen on CP. Everything works flawlessly now with my Pixel 7 Pro, but I cannot get phone calls to work. Everytime someone calls me, AA shows caller info but I have to talk directly via phones speaker and mic. On regular AA it works no problem. Bluetooth name: AndroidAuto-AAW19ca9418
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Enabled a dev firmware for you. Disable dongle mode, unpair phone from head unit and phone calls should work (proxied through AAW).
[Android Auto General] r0x:
Hello, how does it work with Apple CarPlay beta, do I still need an Android Phone to get the iPhone connectet with AAW?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You need to update the device initially via an Android phone yes. When we start shipping with firmware 3.x from factory this won't be nessecary anymore. Afterwards you can just pair it up and use the companion webapp (https://www.aawireless.io/carplay) for settings/firmware updates if needed.
[Android Auto General] Silvio1977:
You may need to clear the memory and cache of the Android Auto app. In any case, you shouldn't be surprised if your car can't establish a connection via CP. After deactivating the dongle mode, you first have to leave your car and lock it. Then you should leave the car locked for at least 30 minutes so that your radio is shutdown. With my W205 I was almost desperate because it no longer wanted to establish a connection. With the W205, however, it is important to restart after major changes to the AAW, which the W205 does a few minutes after completing it.
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
I want to thank the entire support team here, especially Sonia. After a long exchange of emails, I managed to activate carplay in my car! so far it works like oem carplay, I'm still playing with the settings. By the way, can someone explain the audio fix to me? The default setting is auto, I changed it to other variants and I can barely hear the difference. I would like to get the best possible sound settings :)
[Android Auto General] Simon105:
I changed from Android to iOS. Although my car had problems with the connection, it works now. if you have an iPhone, connect the device to the unit in the car, connect the iPhone via bluetooth with AAwireless and accept carplay - it should work.

Today I managed to update the device from the iPhone browser : https://aawireless.app/
[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
if you'd like to join slack, message me and I can try to debug the AA over CP connection

[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
audio fix should be left on auto in most cases

when it's enabled, audio is buffered, which is required for cars running older carplay versions, but adds some delay. when disabled, delay is fairly minimal, but audio quality is low or non-functional on older cars.
