@Snirpo

I didn't make the test yet, but I remember that 2 days ago I drove my wife's new car (Kia Picanto last model), and my phone has wiressly connected to Android Auto, and the display was exactly the same than wired AA ! That tends to prove that there is no different dpi setting in AA itself...
[Android Auto General] Dangze:
Which DPI value did you set ?...
[Android Auto General] chrisstavrou:
Hi all, I have been using AAwireless without any problem from the device itself for which am very happy.

However, my car is a Volvo XC40 running the Sensus Headunit (not the Google Automotive one) which has a portrait screen. The current implementation of AA in this unit results in displaying AA in the bottom half of the screen in a kind of widescreen mode making AA (wired or wireless) disappointing to use. Build in navigation app, can switch to full screen which is nice but not AA.

I have also received Coolwalk on my S21 but it still displayed at the bottom 1/2 of the screen in widescreen.

I am wondering if it is possible to make AAwireless to request a portrait orientation/resolution from the headunit to test if the headunit behaves differently (or any other idea that might trigger the use of the whole screen).

Thanks

Chris

Hello. I have tested the new firware. The stability is better, and now after losing the connection (just 1 time on 10 time) the device resume connection in 10-15 seconds.

Sometimes happen one strange thing now, the phone lost all the BT pairing. Could be related to permission of the android auto app to manage the BT connection?

Hi, I received my AAWireless but it is not working in my car.

Data from my car and multimedia system;

Car, Seat Ibiza year 2016

Multimedia: Tecnisat MST2_EU_SE_ZR369T

5QA035846

Hardware: H30

Software: 369

Telephone; Xiomi redmi note 11s, android 12, MIUI 13

Android auto 8.7.630264

AAWireless; AAWaa6aa8b5, firmware 2.0

I connect the AAWireless in my car, the green led blinks, on the cell phone it doesn't open android auto.

My Phone works well connected by cable.

I have tested it on 2 other cars and AAWireless works fine with my cell phone.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Update it to the lastest version first
[Android Auto General] afm:
My apologies, the firmware is 2.2.0
[Android Auto General] italodance:
By looking at the app with some previous various fixes for Cars, I wonder why there is not any fix for Xiaomi issue by far.

Since it is a miui/software issue, it would be dreamy if the dev work on it and update the app included a fix.
[Android Auto General] festor:
I'm not even sure it's technically (or legally) possible, but either way, it's definitely not the responsibility of AAWireless. It's not the responsibility of any dongle maker or even Google. It's entirely Xiaomi's problem to fix. Android Auto devs might be able to create some sort of inactivity timeout to cope with the dropout, but you can't expect a third party to mod an integrated Google app that updates frequently without changing the ROM.

I've never seen Xiaomi even acknowledge the issue and it's been well over a year. The issue continues with A13/MIUI 14 so they clearly DGAF. Even if they patched it tomorrow, I will never buy another Xiaomi product again.

There is a fix though, switch to a custom ROM. I had been testing various options on an older phone and decided on Pixel Experience for my daily driver just as they lost their maintainer for the POCO F3. I'm now waiting for a stable LineageOS 20.
[Android Auto General] urmanio23:
I'm not even sure there is close to enough people actually reporting the issue, there was a beta program for the MIUI 14 release and I'm sure most people just wanted an "early access" to it and didn't report any issues.

Also, I'm not sure the bug affects any other functionality other than us with AAWireless. Does this affect people with other AA wireless dongles?

Anyway, definitely gonna try flashing LineageOS 20 at some point, I'm testing it on an older Mi Mix. AND definitely I'm skipping any MIUI phone in the future.
[Android Auto General] Neff_V:
@Snirpo @Emil Borconi

Are there any plans for AA via Carplay like Ottocast is doing?

Currently my Mercedes MBUX system does not support AA in full screen mode. With Ottocast it is possible to use AA in full screen mode when using AA via Carplay.
[Android Auto General] festor:
The bug affects all other dongles and also baked in android auto wireless.

I'm positive they are aware of the issue. I first found out from a beta tester that the problem continued with MIUI 14 then confirmed from other posts here and on reddit. I have sent bug reports with "Services & Feedback" on the phone and created several threads then replied to others on the official MIUI forum. I also reported the bug (feature?) on the POCO community site:

http://new.c.mi.com/global/forum-sub/10062

https://community.poco.in/feedback

If you look at the bug tracker they have obscure things listed like "Music app can not update" or "Charging indicator wasn’t displayed correctly" for individual handsets yet they have never listed the wifi dropout issue that affects all devices running MIUI 12.5.6 or later.

I suspect it's a side effect from battery saving. Some sort of tethering for mast hops. Xiaomi have always prioritised battery saving over everything else IMO. I still can't force non MIUI apps to keep running in the background even with the apps locked, no restrictions in battery saver enabled and the phone running in performance mode. Maybe their typical customer prefers battery life over apps actually working?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, we have it already functional, but it's still very much in development. Our main focus is now getting native CarPlay (with an iPhone) to work on as many head units as we can, which is hard. The plan is to release 3.0.0 soon with beta opt-in native CarPlay and AA over CarPlay functionality (plus whole bunch of other improvements).
[Android Auto General] Neff_V:
Woah nice! Thank you 😊👍🏻

Everything was working great with my s22 ultra. Just got s23 ultra . And going through all the steps resetting clearing data etc I can't set it up. Driving me nuts after having all working perfect past year.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Did you plug it in wired first?
[Android Auto General] knighthw2:
hi @Snirpo

The AAW should work without problems with high quality music on spotify premium and amazon music unlimited?

I have a s10+ and the wifi connect at 466mb, but i still expecience stuttering at last one time in every song :(
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
These issues make zero sense unfortunately. Depends on the car and phone. I once created a firmware where we up the max unacked messages a bit to enlarge the buffers a bit. May or may not help, you can try if you want. What's the name of the device?
[Android Auto General] afm:
Hello, I managed to connect the AAwireless, AAWaa6aa8b5, firmware 2.2.0, in my car, with a samsung cell phone in 2.4 giga, with AA version 8.8.6.3, the problem is not the compatibility of the AAwireless dongle with my car, as I thought .

I updated the version of my Xiomi rednote 11s, to version AA 8.8.6.3, it still doesn't turn on, it keeps saying "looking for android auto" see my screenshots,

I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Edit: In setings/apps/permissions/autostart, I don't find the AndroidAuto app, is that why it doesn't start?
[Android Auto General] knighthw2:
Nice, let give a try, its AndroidAuto-AAWObe01e65, i just have to update the firmware?
[Android Auto General] ener2k01:
Can a switch be implemented in the app so that when turned off the device won't connect to the phone and launch Android Auto?

My scenario is the following: when traveling long distances I usually plug the phone to the cable because otherwise the battery would be empty when I get to the destination. So I have to unplug the AA Wireless device and connect to phone via cable. I have 2 USB ports in my car. I would like to keep the AA Wireless permanently connected to the USB port and connect the phone via cable to the other USB port, but use the wired connection. If I leave both devices connected I get disconnections. Would some kind of a switch be possible?
[Android Auto General] italodance:
I had this issue today, weird, Just reset manually the dongle.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
@Snirpo please work on it.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Technically yes, that's possible.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Like @festor mentioning. This MIUI issue where AA disconnects on mobile data loss (or it's actually reconnect, but whatever) is not something we can fix. It will happen on every wireless dongle or wireless AA head unit. The only thing you can try it to enable "start / stop" in the AAW companion app. Start / stop does not use the standard AA wifi connectivity handling, but let's the AAW companion app handle the wifi connectivity logic. May or may not help.

Basically if you want to have properly working wireless AA, do not buy an XIaomi phone (or any of the subbrands). Or flash it with a custom ROM, like Pixel Experience.
[Android Auto General] Canadoc:
Yes. Got it to work I cleared cache and data not just for Android Auto but AA wireless also then was able to set up from scratch.o
[Android Auto General] mike.s:
Why not get a USB charger that plugs into a 12 V (cigar lighter) outlet, then always connect via AAW?
[Android Auto General] hand-filer:
Why? Either way you're plugged in and charging.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
So what device do you suggest to purchase?!

Besides, start/stop can fix this issue in Xiaomi ?!
[Android Auto General] ener2k01:
Because the phone gets very hot while connected both to the charger and to AA Wireless. I don't think it's good for the battery. Just connected to the USB, without AA Wireless connection is not that hot anymore.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If you want the best Wireless AA experience, a Pixel. Samsung is also fine, but on new phones, mostly flagship phones (which is quite surprising) AA is mostly broken and it takes them a while to fix it. Actually we see this phenomenon with alot of phones. The Pixel 6 was also quite horrid with wireless AA not working at all in the beginning for some. Over time, like most issues with Wireless AA (or wired AA for that matter), they fix themselves, as the phone manufacturer or Google fixes it.
[Android Auto General] mike.s:
The GP said "I usually plug the phone to the cable because otherwise the battery would be empty when I get to the destination. " He wants to be plugged in and charging, but not with 2 potential AA connections. I'm assuming that wired and wireless somehow interfere, because he has to unplug AAW. Using a simple charger (which obviously wouldn't support AA), gets around that issue.
[Android Auto General] afm:
Hello, I can connect with my Xiomi mobile phone and everything works fine, in a peugeot 3008 car, year 2016.

In my Seat Ibiza car, year 2016, multimedia system, Tecnisat MIB2, with the same Xiomi mobile phone, it does not connect or work at all.

I'm going to have to return my AAWireless, I didn't want it, I liked that it works on my Seat Ibiza.

I already contacted the AAWireless service and it didn't help much, would a new firmware help?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
A new firmware will not help. Please try to use the troubleshooting in the companion app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.aawireless). The app covers all the basic issues. If you already tried that, then there's not much we can do. We have alot of MIB head units in our database, also in combination with Xiaomi phones. So I expect it to work (except for the dreaded disconnection issues mentioned above).
[Android Auto General] chrisstavrou:
Hi all,

I am wondering if it is possible for AAwireless to disable the phone/text capabilities of android auto so that I can use Aawireless for media and the car headunit for phone/text.
[Android Auto General] speedy180:
To this question: "I would like the ability to share device audio with a Bluetooth headset such as a Cardo Packtalk while using Android Auto connected to the Harley-Davidson Boombox! GTS infotainment system. Is this possible?"

Emil responded: "Officially no, but you could use the AAWireless devices for example (yes it's developed by me) which will allow you to re-route the audio to a BT headset instead of the infotainment system."

I just received the aawireless device.

I disabled media sink so I do hear audio over my BT headset. However google maps audio goes over the infotainment system.

Is it possible to route navigation audio to BT headset?
[Android Auto General] afm:
Thank you for answering me, your answer made me not give up trying to make AAWireles work.

My AAWireless is working now in my car, I'm happy!(y)

How did I get it?

First: do a factory reset on your phone

Second: as soon as android starts up, update Android Auto and install the AAWireless app.

Third: Hard reset AAWireless, pushing the switch in the box.

Fourth: connect AAWireless to your car and follow the instructions in the app.

That's how I managed to get it working, my car is from the VW group, the multimedia system is Tecnisat MIB2.

You should add this to your troubleshooting.

Thank you for this wonderful box and for all your support.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Huh ?! What's this ?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, there are two options, TTS (navigation voice) and media audio.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Definitely not official, my guess it's someone hacking the Russian language in the app. What feed is this?

Hello,

I have a Peugeot 5008 2018 and a Xiaomi Mi9 and a Pixel 3.

I don't understand why I have a green flashing light.

I followed the debug instructions but at the last solution "enable wireless android auto" (seems disapear since last update of AA), I still have the green flashing light.

It was ok until today.

Could you have some ideas about maybe authorization that I did not allow?

Thanks for your help.
[Android Auto General] Swanee123:
Try pairing the Pixel 3 manually (i.e. Do not use the app) in Bluetooth. Worked with my pixel 3 to deal with the blinking green light.

Hello there,

I have a Motorola 30 Edge Ultra and a stock headunit Honda Civic X that as far as I understood is basically a Tablet with Android 4 tweaked down, that connect only via USB cable of course with this fantastic last phone device.

I've received as gift AA and successfully pluged in Android Auto in wireless mode, however

sometimes

it's forget the configuration or looks like something get totally lost and I have to do from the step 1 wizard to reconnect and get stable connection each time I jump on my car.

Could you help me to understand if it's a problem or what? I don't get used on all the settings under AA application so not sure if something maybe here can help.

Best regards,

M4z.

An update on my situation with stuttering music apps: I have now fully disabled 'Google Location Accuracy'. Previously, I had only disabled wifi and Bluetooth for location. With 'Google Location Accuracy' disabled, there seems to have been an improvement. However, I still occasionally experience lag if the map is open together with the music app. On the other hand, if I only leave the Spotify screen open, this issue hardly occurs anymore. This is different from before, when the stuttering happened regardless of whether the maps were open or not.

Hello, are you sure start-stop function is still operationnal ?

I had stop it some weeks ago as it didn't work after AA last version installation, I tried it today and it still don't work ! If function is on, AAW led remain white and AAW never connect, if function is off, AAW connects immediately...

I used to have it on as my car USB remains powered during 10 mn after car shut down.

Thanks for your opinion and advices...

Hello @Snirpo :

Well, for me Start-Stop does not work anymore : AAW disconnects and does not reconnect, if I disable Start-Stop, AAW connects immediately and does not disconnect ! I will no more use the functionnality. Something must has been changed recently in the way this functionnnality works...

Quoting myself:

But please create a video of what lag you exactly mean. AA isn't optimized for video player apps in any way. It may work fine wired, because of virtually no latency, but that doesn't mean it will work fine wireless. Playing videos on AA (with Fermata for example) is a hack. We cannot support that. If Google decides at one point to make videos possible when parked, that will change the situation, but right now it's a hack.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
What's the full name of your device in Bluetooth settings of the phone? Is it AndroidAuto-AAWxxxx or AAWireless-xxxx?

Hi, I'm currently still facing facing the audio stutter issue from a few months ago. The audio cuts out every 30 seconds, for about a second, this is always the case, without exception.

I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, in Mazda CX5 2021. The firmware version is 2.1.0.

I have tried enabling/disabling passthrough and dongle mode, and tried as well changing the WiFi frequency, and channels, without any luck. If I connect the phone directly to the car, using the same USB cable, there are literally no stutter, I have tried on different occasions.

I do remember that one of the firmware versions were working fine in terms of stuttering, but that was like an year ago, don't remember which one exactly.

Is there any fix?
[Android Auto General] kanths:
Video lags on wired to wireless Android Auto adapters.

I used two different wired to wireless AA adapters. Watching YouTube videos on Fermata Auto app or CarTube apps lags.

Can AA wireless adapter brand fix this issue?

Im using S22 Ultra on a Hyundai.

I'm watching videos only when parked. Never during driving.
[Android Auto General] Spool77:
Video lags a bit for me even when wired. I noticed it is worse with wireless. I think it's just the nature of the beast.
[Android Auto General] kanths:
You know what. I just realized that too. On wireless it is more evident and yes i agree i see the lag on wired too.
[Android Auto General] knighthw2:
same to me, sometimes it takes more than 3 songs for it to happen and other times it can happen 3 times in just one song.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Both Mazda's?

no, i have a cruze with mylink2 and a s10+
[Android Auto General] Dangze:
Start -Stop still not working, I don't know how/where I can see the name of the device in Bluetooth settings on my phone !?:confused:

Fermata Auto lags more I guess

LVP is way better and I attached it, the lag is less but noticeable:
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you try to unpair the device --> reboot phone --> re-pair (from within the app or bluetooth settings, doesn't matter) --> go into start / stop settings --> check if enabled and if the correct handsfree device is selected to trigger start / stop (the car) --> save

[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
Hi!

I just have bought AAW and generally everything works except the voice commands that seem to be broken. After an icon tapping an animation starts but freezes at once or after several seconds (during the command listening). One of 10-15 tries works succesfully. By the cable everything is ok. Issue is not related with screen locking. Tried with passthrough on and off (without the data cleaning but cable reconnecting).

The phone is not connected to the module-BT but the car-BT - but you say "This is only necessary for the very first setup." so it is ok, isn't it?

Firmware 2.2.0

AndroidAuto-AAW6aa65356 - BT network name.

Xiaomi Mi9, AND 11

AlphaRomeo Stelvio

Some advice what I could to test aa yet to make it working properly?

BTW: I can also see occasional communication restarts, but reconnection takes some 2-3sec only.

Edit:

It was with passtrough set off and dongle mode on, by default. I understand that reversing it should allow to connect phone to the AAW-BT instead of the Car-BT and theoretically get the restarts eliminated (with AlphaRomeo-BT drops reduced I hope). Hmm, maybe it will also "repair" the voice commands issue?
