I'm not sure about your troubles, I've done every update on both m devices in the car with a Galaxy S20+. It works.

Sometimes the first connection doesn't work but it trys again and the update starts and fninshes. Your device will definitely not become obselete.
[Android Auto General] skamin:
Thanks for your note, @Genebaby. I've gone over the forums and tried various suggestions, including just waiting longer. Updates still fail. Great to hear you're not experiencing the same problem. Not sure I understand the comment about the device not becoming obsolete. It certainly will if not updated.
[Android Auto General] bjevers:
I've had this happen every now and then on my Uconnect system even when using wired AA.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
I recently have a problem with the connection of aawireless, started to happen at some point but not related to an upgrade of aawireless or Android OS.

The unit is flashing green endlessy, to connect i have to go on the phone in the BT settings and manually connect to aawireless; then the connection happens normally, but at next connection i have to do this again.

Previously i had no problem at all with this, and the connection was always ok.

Phone Samsung S20 FE on VW Golf with MIB2.

I noticed that when this happens if i go in the aawireless app on the phone after re-connection, the DPI setting is resetted to default (i use 140 value normally).
[Android Auto General] kouklo:
GREAT SUCCESS!!!!

So I haven't even tried using my aawireless since 1.3, I just got super frustrated trying to set it up. Today I needed to use the other car to move some furniture. I originally bought the aawireless for this car. Last night I plugged it into my computer and uploaded it to 1.5 and then plugged it into the car this morning. Once I set it to "default" everything worked beautifully.

The car is a 2019 Nissan Rogue and my phone is a Samsung S20 fe.

Now out of curiosity I'm going to play around with some settings and see what works best.

On a side note, am I crazy or did I read somewhere that we can use WiFi instead of Bluetooth for audio? Even with the latest and greatest Bluetooth, music gets compressed. My understanding is that music over WiFi doesn't do that.

Also what does the "pass through" option in settings do?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I had this and then I made it worse so I did a full reset as explained in a previous post and it's working better then ever. Similar phone and car to you.
[Android Auto General] PB0986:
Hi

Apologies in advanced if this has been addressed but is there a way to have googlemaps or waze and google assistant to be included in the "disable audio sink" ?

Right now it only works with music apps and even news and podcast apps.

I have an aftermarket android auto interface using my existing touch screen and I can only use auxiliary but i prefer to use the Bluetooth channel for better quality.

So right now i cant use Maps or google assistant while listening to music through the cars Bluetooth source.

My phone is a Samsung S20 plus.

Can this be done?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
@PB0986

I put in a request 2 months ago in Github for the 'disable audio sink' function to be extended to navigation apps and @Snirpo said 2 weeks ago that he wants to sort out the start-stop mode finally and then he will have the time to look at new features.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Please remove, forum bugged out.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, new much improved start / stop is almost production ready. But you have to realize we are also trying to get boards delivered to people, which is hell at this moment. We already arrived at the fourth board configuration at the moment :(

Also I'm trying to let our testers test features a bit longer, instead of rushing them out, so we don't get half working features (for some) like in the state the current start / stop is now. This will only generate lots of support tickets, which will slow things down.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
With unit powered on using reset button? On the phone you also wipe the aawireless companion app?
[Android Auto General] metheos:
I'm having a positive experience with all the latest updates. Thanks for all the hard work!

Is there anything I can do about my head unit powering on while my car is charging? It's a 2017 Chevy Volt and if it's plugged into the charger I've discovered it will occasionally power on the usb and bluetooth :-/

Apparently the range on the aawireless and the bluetooth is good enough that my phone will even launch android auto from the other side of the house!

I really don't want to disable bluetooth on my phone while I'm home, or have to unplug aawireless when I get home... but I haven't thought of any other solutions.
[Android Auto General] tiniwings:
I think you can wait for the next update that DEVs working on start/stop feature.

That will only start/stop the aaw only when car is started.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Created a changelog for the firmware: https://github.com/cpebit/aawireless-issues/blob/master/FIRMWARE-CHANGELOG.md
[Android Auto General] ktraub:
That worked for me on my UConnect 8.4 in my 2018 300. Thank you very much!
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I removed and reinstalled the app to make sure it started fresh.
[Android Auto General] skamin:
Update: I got the 1.5.0 firmware from the firmware repository (thanks to the support team support@cpeb.freshdesk.com for updating it and emailing me about it) and updated my unit.

Hoping to see further improvement in the Start/Stop feature in the next release.

[Android Auto General] prodigy7:
Hi there,

today I happily unpacked the package with your AAWireless! Unfortunately, my joy was quickly thwarted: I installed the app, did the setup according to the instructions, but unfortunately the app does not connect to the AAWireless. I unplugged it a few times and plugged it back in, but the app can't find the device. When I go to the Wi-Fi settings to see the detected networks, I see the device as well, but I can't connect because I don't have a password. What can I do?
[Android Auto General] prodigy7:
Okay, got it working now after all. Manually connected via Bluetooth and then it worked!

What I still wonder now: How exactly does it work with the power saving mode? The USB port of my Kia E-Niro is permanently active, accordingly I have activated the option to save power in the app. However, it did not seem to work properly for me. Sometimes the LED was white, sometimes it was blue and sometimes it blinked green. Meanwhile, the display on my phone that it is trying to connect Android Auto. And that, although the car was off and accordingly no Bluetooth connection existed.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
The USB port of the e-Niro should not be permanently powered. Its only powered for a short while after turning the car off (I have an e-Niro myself). By power saving mode I suppose you mean the start / stop mode. The current start / stop functionality is too wonky for some phones. Version 1.10 of the app will have a completely revised start / stop mode, which we've been testing for the last three weeks. I'm hoping to release it next week. It's pretty hard to get it right for all phones.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
This information is also in the FAQ: https://cpeb.freshdesk.com/support/...e-with-my-phone-how-can-i-do-a-manual-update-
[Android Auto General] prodigy7:
Thank you! Then I leave the AAWireless connected without the start/stop function :-)
[Android Auto General] Didusieq:
Hi All,

I got my AAW today. Confiogured everything. It looks fine at the beginning, but after few minutes it disconnects from my head unit and after around minute, sometimes 30 seconds, it connects again automatically, and so on. Any clues? My car is Opel Astra MY2019 and Galaxy S21 5G.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I had a similar experience to the above today in the GTI, which I've started driving again. All seemed good when I went to the mall down south this morning, twice.

Headed a bit further north towards the audio dropout hotspot and the device began dropping out and resetting itself, over and over. Contintued on the way home and is still doing it in the driveway.

I was hoping it would be ok near my house like it was this morning, but whatever has started is still occuring.

I will try a different cable after this.

I did send logs once or twice, it's device tf5k4szr, but as I wrote this I thought I might try a new cable when I go out again.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I went for a few more drives, trying two other cables I had in the car, one was a copy of the first and the other was very different. All behaved badly so I grabbed the OEM cable from the Polo and it works fine.

Ideally I am after a cable of about 30cm/1 foot as I attach the unit to the underside of the console near the USB port and don't need anything longer, it just creats more cable mess and gets in the way.

I'd like to work out what is the best cable for this application in that size and order some.

Strange behaviour though, it's like when I got my temp Moto phone connected and it only worked that one drive home before I needed to swap the cable.

It does seem the OEM cable is a good one, it is the one that seems to work when others inexplicably don't anymore.
[Android Auto General] Didusieq:
My observations:

When using the cable delivered with AAW, it lost the connection between the phone and AAW. After swapping the cable to some aftermarket (Baseus), connection dropped between AAW and car. :| Another try will be with the OEM cable delivered with my S21, then, I will swap to S20 FE (Snapdragon version) to test. I will not give up easily. :D

EDIT:

Swapped to S20 FE and the same. But I have found out different issue. The AAW may be overheating. When starting the car after the night, it was working for even 15 minutes and then disconnects and connects every ~2 - 3 minutes. Notices the AAW was quite warm when disconnects. I use it in the armrest (closed). Also, hot summer is not helping. :( After the longer stop in a day, it worked for around 10 minutes before it disconnects.
[Android Auto General] Kuschi:
Hello, i got my box too. The connection with my Huawei P20 and my Skoda Octavia 2018 with Amundsen works great. The only problem I have is that when I listen to music through Deezer, it takes about 10 minutes for my car radio to restart. Does anyone have a solution?
[Android Auto General] mike.silverton:
That's good to hear. Same deck but S8+, connects., works for a while, disconnects, connects again. Seems to bail when there is data load applied. I'll keep trying.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
My connection has been rock solid since swapping cables, save the audio dropout now and then, but no device reboots. Will keep driving with the OEM cable and see how it performs.
[Android Auto General] Didusieq:
I tried two different cables: OEM and Baseus. I may try the Samsung one, delivered with S21. But I have my doubts it will help as already tried two different phones.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Might be a defective one. There are no general overheating issues. We have one tester who lives in Arizona with 50 degrees (Celsius) and has zero issues. Please contact support (https://cpeb.freshdesk.com) for a replacement.
[Android Auto General] Notor1ouS-:
i also doubt that the AAW box could overheat. those cpus can handle high temperatures without problems.

so stop this myth :P
[Android Auto General] Didusieq:
I have no clue what other problem can it be.
[Android Auto General] succo:
I have the same problem, the device sometimes (randomly) just hangs and then reboots. I don't think it's related to overheating as the device worked just fine yesterday morning (with 36° C) and rebooted yesterday evening coming back from the seaside... is there any way to get a kernel log to see what happens on the device?

BTW, i received the AAW on friday, set it up on saturday and updated to 1.5 on sunday (it was born on 1.4), could it be a problem with the new hardware?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You can send debug logs via the app, but if you want to have a peek yourself, PM me and I can explain how to.
[Android Auto General] Kuschi:
Hello, can nobody help me restart my car radio when I am listening to music?
[Android Auto General] PiXeLb0y:
Hi,

I have my AAWireless for a few days in operation unfortunately I have from time to time the problem that the music e.g. in Spotify always stops and then continues again.

Maybe someone else has the problem?

OnePlus 8 Pro Android 11

AAWireless Firmware 1.5
[Android Auto General] andreaslev:
Finally received the AAWireless, thank you! Unpacked the basic settings in the app and the AAWireless connected straight away. So far everything is great, thank you!

1. - Since I have WiFi in my vehicle, I always look in the settings to see whether the AAWireless can first connect to the vehicle's WiFi and then connect to the smartphone in the same network. If the possibility does not yet exist, will we work on it?

2. - Now and then there are dropouts when streaming music (TuneIn)

Should the passthrough be used here?

3. - I noticed that if the AAWireless app was running, the wifi and the mobile data run at the same time at my home and only after restarting the smartphone, the wifi works on its own again. Is that maybe still a bug that is being worked on? My smartphone is the Samsung S20 +
[Android Auto General] andreaslev:
Thank You for Help
[Android Auto General] Didusieq:
Today, when I drove about 1 hour, it was blue LED when dropped the connection. Also noticed, the "connected" periods are getting shorter until it will drop connection permanently. I need to disconnect the USB and connect again to make it work.

I will try the AAW in different cars to check it.
[Android Auto General] istrait:
Anyone else having issues with android auto defaulting to the headset for phonecalls instead of the bluetooth connection to the headunit. I know it is more of an android auto issue, but it is getting annoying.
[Android Auto General] Dvdiskolo:
I tried to connect aawireless but after a while I receive this pop-up: impossibile to connect please retry. It's like the device doesn't send the credentials. What can I do?
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
With VW MIB2 and Samsung Galaxy S20FE, now i have to delete BT entry for aawireless and delete aawireless companion app data and re-do the configuration in order to connect, this every time i step into the car, otherwise the unit is always in green blinking mode but connection does not start; i was able before to make it connect forcing BT connection, but that's not the case anymore (and before that it was working perfectly)

Holding the reset doesn't do anything, unit does not reboot or change led pattern. Please help me getting back to usable
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Please hold the button for 5-6 seconds and then release. Then redo the Bluetooth pairing. I'm investigating this issue with one of our testers, but haven't found the root cause of it yet.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
Hello thanks, i tried multiple times but it does not look like it's rebooting at all.

I tried to do this at different booting stages but it does not reset the unit apparently

Update: while fully connected i was able to reset, but behavior seems the same as before
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Booting stage shouldn't really matter. It should be like: hold button 5-6 seconds, let go, led should turn off, go back to solid green and then blinking green.

Blinking green however does not always mean something on the device side is wrong. Please follow these instructions to fully reset everything.

Support

cpeb.freshdesk.com

And please make sure you're on 1.5 of the firmware, because 1.4 of the firmware could also cause the device to always stay blinking green on some phones.
[Android Auto General] SwedishBadger:
Got the unit yesterday! However AAwireless device looses its connection every 10 seconds or so. I think I tried to change most settings and resetting the device and deleting the connections for the the device in the the phone and starting over with same result.

Car is a Seat Alhambra 2016 and phone used is a Mi 10t Pro.

Headunit partnumber is 7N5035680B so it should be MIB2.

AAwireless-gNXZT9zP with firmware 1.5.0

Anyone els had this issue? Very frustrating.
[Android Auto General] Didusieq:
According to what we know, there are some issues with Xiaomi devices and they are working on the solution.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
i managed to reset only when fully connected (blue LED), now it's working again!
[Android Auto General] andreaslev:
I asked again
[Android Auto General] skamin:
Is nobody else experiencing issues with VoIP call audio routing - either on Zoom or on other apps like WhatsApp, Skype, Teams, Jabber, etc.? This is a highly problematic issue for me and I'm sure it'll impact many others.
[Android Auto General] piskr:
Could I get some help, please? I tried with two phones many times but whatever I did I can't get past that password issue, no matter what. I happened to update the dongle to 1,5, got Bluetooth connection, but what the hell is the password? Don't tell me to scan it because scanning is possible after the connection. Thanks.
[Android Auto General] deadman1717:
When sending WhatsApp messages via speech while using AAWireless, the messages somehow get stuck and are not sent until unlocking the device and opening the WhatsApp app on my phone.

Phone is Huawei Mate 20. Is someone else having this issue?
[Android Auto General] manuetsia:
First of all, thanks very very much to the developers, honestly I do not understand why it was not something considered since the beginning by Google (for sure they would make a great profit selling "Chromecast Auto").

Physical Impressions: how tiny it is! I saw videos on YouTube and either way I got surprised.

Working: perfectly since the beginning, I need to confirm no issues after a certain time as I've seen but right now it works like a charm. Also surprised about booting time, around 20 seconds, just amazing. My phone is a OnePlus 5T running Android 10 stock, I was completely sure it was not going to work for now cause I have a MY19 Opel Insignia (Vauxhall Insignia, Buick Regal, Holden Commodore, depending on the country) and what I read some weeks ago was only issues with that infotainment and a potential solution via firmware.

Time to play with settings, especially regarding DPIs, I want to taste the split screen. I will edit in case of any issue or to confirm everything keeps working, just for the records.
[Android Auto General] Saison2018:
I sent a WhatApp message today and had no issues. The message was sent successfully and I received a response.

My phone is a Google Pixel 5 with Android 11 (latest update). I have been having issues over the past few months (mostly "offline mode so I can't do what you ask") and I don't know what has changed as I haven't done anything but everything has been fine since a few weeks.

I know AAWireless was not the main reason for my problem as it was the same in wired mode. Maybe an update fixed everything
[Android Auto General] codetracer:
Enhancement request:

Create option so a AAWireless-device can join an existing wifi-network instead of being it's own wifi AccessPoint (AP) without internet.

Menu-Option - Choice at setup to make AAWireless-device act as a AP or client-mode.

Menu-Option - SSID/Password/Encryption input inside app.

Benefit:

Car with build in AP will have better cellphone reception with external antenna compared to a phone inside someones pocket or other location inside car.

If car has a separate data plan the internet usage will be minimize for the phone data plan.

Other Andorid-phones inside the same wifi-network will also be able to connect to Android Auto.

Prerequisite:

Option1: Car hosts wifi-network with built-in AP.

Option2: Phone hosts wifi-network (Mobile Hotspot).

Concern/Issue:

Phone, car and AAWireless-device will be on the same SSID, will this cause issues for Android Auto inside the car?

Car ignition will start the built-in AP, might take 10-20sec until wifi-network is accessible for both phone and AAWireless.

Will several Android-phones in the same wifi-network cause issues for AAWireless to know which phone to forward to Android Auto? Same issue might already exist today if several phones connect the AAWireless AP.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Does your car have it's own SIM for it's wifi, or does it come from your phone? My car connects to my phone's wifi and I have it setup as a hotspot for the kids whenever it connects to the car, and that all still works since using the AAW box. Why are you looking in the settings to see if AAW can connect to your car wifi? It needs to make a wifi connection with your phone to transfer the data, which it does using BT to make the connection.

Audio dropouts are unfortunately going on for some, including me, would be great to get that sorted.

I have the same phone as you and your no.3 problem does not happen. I haven't heard of it before either. Maybe one of your data/caches needs to be reset, like Google Play Services?
[Android Auto General] taboo85:
Hello.

Just wondering if I am doing something wrong.

Im using the disable audio sink function but only music works.

is anyone else also having this problem? Maps and google isnt coming through the bluetooth??

Appreciate the help
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
I created a request in Github to have that feature extended to navigation apps 2 months ago.
[Android Auto General] taboo85:
Thanks Martin,

Ok thats good to know its actually a functionality limitation rather than a problem with my unit!

Has anyone acknowledged your request?
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
Yes @Snirpo has said he hopes to tackle this after the stop/stop function is fully working.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
My obzervations are that audio dropouts depend on the phone(CPU, ROM etc).

At the beginning I had AAW connected to Xiaomi mi 9t pro, which is not bad device at all, and dropouts were there. Solved by lowering audio quality in Spotify settings. (Do not know about other apps, but should be similar).

By the way had no other issues with that phone.

Later I got Xiaomi Mi11 and all runs flawless, including high quality audio.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Myself and the other fellow have Galaxy S20 phones, and I have the 12GB Ram model, it's not an issue with the phone struggling.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
I confirm this, with Samsung S20 FE i have issues on MIB2 Technisat of VW Golf; when it starts to stutter then at some point AAWireless reboots.

I also had a few cases where audio and video are not in sync (Es. Spotify shows that the next song is playing, while it's still playing the previous one).

With the VAG fix this rarely cause the reboot of the headunit, but it's almost inevitable that AAWireless reboots at some point.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
That what I meant - it coud also be software/rom /, not the hardware itself only, which in Galasy s20 is quite good.
[Android Auto General] codetracer:
Why not, if you have an wifi accesspoint in a car already then it's easy to make an option for AAWireless to be able to connect to instead.

And what ever Andorid Auto "needs" can be provided by any TCP/IP network and Bluetooth together if source-unit and destination-unit are connect to the same network with no firewalls in-between. So necessarily the wifi accesspoint explicitly don't need to be hosted by the AAWireless-device, just any network works with good enough bandwidth.
