I have ended up with the connect/disconnect cycle every 30-60 seconds situation in my VW, and been told by support that this is a head unit issue and there is nothing to be done. In my wife's Peugeot, the device works perfectly, but that was not where I was planning to use it.

So I give up.

Anyone with UConnect (Jeep Wrangler here) having the AAW (on 1.7.1) constantly try and start up Android Auto after car has been off for hours. Usually first two hours and then it stops. I have Start/Stop enabled. Based on reading this forum, Start/Stop seems more of a crap shoot at this point but not sure if there are other optmized settings for the UConnect?
[Android Auto General] callous-1:
Im glad im not the only one. S20 with cx5 and in my case the disconnect happens within a certain 3 block radius during my commute (starts with choppy music playback followed by a disconnect) without fail. Plugged phone directly and no disconnect. Once i go back to AAwireless it would always disconnect without fail. Recently i put the dongle in a faraday case and it somewhat improved (maybe disconnects 60-70% of the time vs 100% of the time at that specific location)

I experienced the same problem too. Cold car 25 minutes, warm car 15 minutes til freeze. And after the first freeze, a freeze every 5 to 6 minutes. I ordered a cooler for a raspberry now and I will put it on the rockchip.

Hello,

I received my devices today. Thanks a lot to all.

I installed the first device today and it works like a charm.

As we have 2 drivers for this device I want to work on a solution to switch users.

Therefore my question is:

1.How is Bluetooth handled with this device? Does the mobile phone connect to AAWireless Bluetooth and AAWireless connects to the car? Or does the mobile phone use the car's Bluetooth connection directly?

2.Is there a way to build an AA app to switch users?

Thanks

Anyone had much joy with a 2018+ Volvo XC60?

Wired with my one plus 6 it is awful, clicks are ignored despite highlighting the button, drop down menus are a magical mystery.

Phone is fine in a skoda, wired or wireless.

For the volvo you generally disconnect, set up destination then reconnect to AA to navigate.

Now I have an AA wifi device I cannot disconnect and do anything it just keeps connecting and disabling the phone.

AA settings have something to choose what auto starts when connected by Bluetooth but no equivalent for wireless.

Is it possible for me to switch AA off easily.

Killing Wifi seems a good plan but something flips it back on.

I think the problem is due to external radio interference that occurs only in that particular place ... I hope there will soon be a fix about it .. even here in Italy I have the same problems, in a specific point on the highway ..

Hello, I recently got a new phone (Pixel 4XL > Pixel 6 Pro) and I can't get AA Wireless to connect to the new phone. It just keeps searching and never finds the dongle. I tried resetting it. And it seems to reboot but still blinks green (if I remember correctly it blocked blue when I connected to it me 4XL when I got it). Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] ericDraven77:
Hi there, got my AAWireless some days ago and got it to work, even with the bug on Huwaei Wifi without internet. Found the solution here on xda which was to forget my wifi connection on the phone and reconnect it new. Then just don't push anything when it ask to connect to wifi without internet. Since that it works.

Does anyone have tried if the device makes the cars battery unload when not used? My car is only driven once a week and when it slowly sucks out my battery that would be really bad.

So does the AAWireless have battery consumption when not in use??

I am sure everyone that works on this would like to hear something positive so I thought I would post a big thank you to the developers. I just received my second and third units as promised in October. Installed them in a Chevy and Mazda and they work perfectly out-of-the box

I did update both to the new 7.1 as recommended.

No issues. All good!

Hi guys I received my AA wireless today and I'm having troubles with it connecting.

I tried using different usb modes and passthrough still haven't got it to work. Removed all previous devices connected to the head unit and is just connected to my current phone (Pixel 5).

VPN is not on I believe as well.

AA Wireless Android Auto is on.

Add wireless projection to settings is on.

Any tips or tricks?

Thanks

Hello, after my first device had no WiFi after updating from 1.5 to 1.71, it was replaced.

Thank you very much for that!

The new device has firmware 1.70 and always works once! :)

When I plug it into the USB socket, it boots and connects, I can use AA in the car display. I don't know how long, it make only a test of funktion!

If I get out and come back later, AAWireless does not start on its own when the ignition is switched on. I have to unplug the USB plug and plug it back in.

When the ignition is switched off, AAWireless makes a reboot. But not when I have left the car and come back later.

In the search I did not find anything about it...

After 20 to 30 minutes, the USB power of the car entertainment is switched off due to energy management!

What could I try?

i have device with qjrp firmware - not sure what generation it is.

i have 1.50 software with no option to upgrade.

i have a samsung note 10+ in a mb with mbux audio.

i was having troubles with constant rebooting and started playing around with settings in android auto. and aaw.

i now have the following settings:

android auto - developer -- add wireless projection to setting and save audio.

aaw setting are mtp with forced restart - 2.4 ghz - pass through and developer on

the net result is that my aaw is rock solid and does not reboot.

i have no idea why developer is on in aaw but i am afraid to turn it off.

at this point i am finished playing with settings and will leave everything alone.

yay for the wireless device.

Hi,

I'm using AAwireless with my new phone since a few weeks and all was working fine until yesterday. Now the bluetooth connects but the phone doesn't connect to the AAwireless wifi. If I try to manually connect to it. It ask me for a passphrase which I don't know.

I tried doing a reset, but I think reset didn't occur:

I didn't find how to remove the device from the AAWireless app

The reset button on the device seems to have no effect (the light sequence doesn't change)

I received my unit yesterday and installed and set it up, Google maps and Spotify work great but when I try and use the phone the head unit acts like it is using the phone app but the call is actually going through the phone, I have to pick up the actual handset to hear the phone call.

I just got my 2 boxes today and after a great deal of issues with the MIB2 unit in my Audi Q7 (constant connection and disconnection every minute), I fixed it by moving the connection from the smart phone USB port to an alternate port. It now works flawlessly without issue.

On the other hand, when I opened the 2nd box, the AAWireless unit was missing, an empty square hole, but the cable was present... :(

I have emailed support so they'll hopefully get back to me with a resolution soon.

I received it a few days ago and it seems that everything works correctly, initially it gave me connection failure, but I activated the vag fix function, and there were no more problems.

It connects very fast, in about 5-6 seconds, and at the moment, in the 4-5 days that I have been testing it, I have not had a single disconnection, nor any type of problems.

The only problem I have is with TomTom Go, but the problem is with the application, on the phone there are no problems, but linked to android auto, both by cable, and with AAWireless, every 3-4 minutes the application is restarted, it is puts the black screen with the tomtom logo, and a message of starting app appears. Otherwise perfect, with TomTom Amigo, waze, google maps, and other applications that I use for online radio, or music player that I use poweramp, everything works perfect so far.

I have tried with the original cable, and with other cables of good quality, and with all it works correctly

Nice, I tuck mine away like that too. What is that white cable you are using, do you know the exact model of it?
[Android Auto General] snako79:
It is a 25cm cable that I bought in amazon a couple of years ago, it suits me very well, because it is very small and so it does not bother. I don't know if it will still be for sale

Edit :It is still for sale, I just found it in my orders, I bought it in 2019, but it has gone up in price

It is the 0.8ft which is about 25cm approximately, but I paid 7.99 euros, and now it has a price of 11.99 euros

Edit: I just bought it to test it, in black, that although the one I have on is not visible, better in black, let's see if it works well, as it is less than 4 euros, if it does not work well, it is not a great loss either
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Just a small update, hoping people will read this. On a small portion of the devices the factory flashed the wrong firmware on the device (!@#$%@!#). If your device is on version 1.5.0 (which it should never have had) and you have no working WiFi hotspot on 5Ghz, so it's only working with "Force 2.4Ghz" enabled, please contact support from within the support section of the app. We can enable an OTA update which installs the correct firmware for your device. This can also cause other issues, like instability, disconnections etc.
[Android Auto General] Lenster45:
I had a problem with the device blinking green and never connecting. Turns out that if my galaxy watch 4 is connected to my phone, AAWireless cannot connect to bluetooth. Once I manually connect AAWireles to bluetooth on the phone it turns blue and connects to the HU. and the Watch 4 disconnects. As long as the watch stays disconnected AAWireless works fine. If I connect the watch, I'm back to blinking green and have to repeat the manual connect sequence.
[Android Auto General] snako79:
in my case, I have a garmin forerunner 245 connected, and I have not had problems of that type

Yeah it worked with my old Fossil Gen3 but not with the Galaxy Watch 4 running wear OS3.0

In my car, I am already connected to HondaLink, but the connection for AAWireless and CW4 seems to be either/or.

I used to have a huawei watch GT2 and it generated a conflict with the car's BT, it threw the audio of the calls to the watch, but I didn't get to use it with AAWireless, I've been using AAWireless for a few days

Is Google Assistant supposed to work? I just setup AAW for the first time. When I tried to use Google Assistant, the Assistant immediately told me that it isn't supported right now.
[Android Auto General] Lenster45:
I got a reply from PsyOpWarlord on Reddit. Turns out the LG website states that the LG phone only allows two bluetooth connections at the same time. So with Hondalink connected its either the watch or AAWireless. I turned off bluetooth on the watch. At least until i get a new phone.
[Android Auto General] rwind:
Hi,

While waiting for the AAW I've just been using a USB cable into the port for AA and it works flawlessly. I thought my car would have wireless AA built in but if it does I have no idea on how to set it up! But I just got my AAW and I've been trying to use it but I'm having some troubleshooting problems...

My phone is a OnePlus 8T with the latest android update, 11, and my car is a 2021 Rav4 Hybrid XLE Premium (with the audio plus upgrade package, more speakers different and bigger head unit)

I have phones system developer mode turned on, AA dev mode turned on, bt turned on, wifi turned on, and android auto settings has wireless mode turned on and projection enabled.

I've removed all the wifi networks, bt devices on the car and phone, tried again and got it to pair and on the pull down menu on my phone says its connected. But it also says connecting to Android Auto... and keeps refreshing the phone screen every so often and looping like it's trying to connect but nothing is happening... On the AAW device it goes from flashing blue to flashing green repeatedly.

Here's a album of screenshots for my settings etc:

I also made a post about this on the subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AAWireless/comments/qpib0i

Please advise and thank you!

I cleared Bluetooth and wifi entries on both phone and care. I cleared AAW and AA Auto and Google app storage/cache. I re-setup. Everything works now including Assistant.

[Android Auto General] braddocksp:
I also have a clio 5, although I use a Mi 10. In my case most of the time it works correctly, but I have noticed that when the phone totally loses mobile coverage (a long tunnel, parking), AAwireless tends to disconnect, although it works again after a few seconds. I deduce in my case that it is something particular about the phone not of Renault Easylink, but I'm still in the testing period anyway.
[Android Auto General] Antenne:
I've got a Yaris 2020 Hybrid Premiere Ed. (maybe the same head unit). In the companion app I switched to pass through and MTP usb mode. After that I've got it to work with my Mi 10 / Android 11 w/o problems. I've even inserted a cheap USB 2 hub with switchable ports to switch between AA and a memory stick with music. The one thing I'm not sure of is the fact that there are two notifications in the pulldown of the Mi 10 both saying that AA is connected and can be used/ I can continue on the car display (with a bit different wording). Is that the case for everyone??
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Question to all I guess; is everyone still on firmware 1.5 without any options to upgrade? Thanks
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
On my VW I probably needlessly upgraded to 1.7 and then 1.71, it's been working the same for a while now, save the times I can't hear the assistant speak, and then music doesn't auto start again after doing so.

In our other car with an AAW I left it on 1.5 as it seemed to be fine and that's my wifes car, it's a Mitsubishi. We both have Galaxy S20 series phones. I'm probably going to get the S22 next year, seeing how I like what they do.

Was thinking about the Pixel 6 Pro but no face unlock was a downer.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Thanks for the replies, I'll get that first cable as it works for sure, I've tried some others from Amazon and not had much luck.

Edit: The Amazon one seems to be out of stock now so I'll try one of the AliXpress ones and if it works get two more.

[Android Auto General] zepatko:
Hello all,

I have this issue with my recently received unit.

Meaning :

- Stuck in firmware 1.5 without any update possibility

- I can only connect when I force 2.4Ghz (if not, no connection at all between phone and AA unit)

- I encounter frequent and random disconnections.

I already tried to contact the support, but the only answers I can have is "Try another USB cable" or "Try to reset the unit" or "Try to unpair your phone and pair it again"...

So, support only proposes useless solutions that I have of course already tried before contacting them.

In the quoted message, they speak about enabling an OTA update, but support doesn't give any solution for that...

So, all that being said, if someone has a solution to propose, any idea is welcome !
[Android Auto General] zepatko:
Edit to my previous message :

Just received a mail from the support telling me that they made the OTA update available for my unit.

Update was indeed available and made succesfully. After reboot of the AA unit, my phone could connect without forcing 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi in the app settings.

I will try the AAWireless for some days to see if disconnection problems have disappeared.
[Android Auto General] lnwj:
Hi all, got my unit recently, I have a 2020 Toyota Rav4 (US).

I'm having an issue about 50% of the time where AAWireless connects at the exact same moment my Head unit connects to my Pixel 5's Bluetooth. AAWireless succeeds but I have no Bluetooth connection for phone calls, the car says no phone is connected.

My solution is to hold down the power button on my stereo to reboot the head unit and hope that resolves it.

My question is, is it possible to add a small "delay" to the AAWireless boot up to allow my phone to finish connecting to the car before AAWireless then connects to the phone/vehicle to avoid this issue?

I've done some searching on this in this very long thread but couldn't find the exact issue I'm having or a fix.

Thanks for any help!

[Android Auto General] braddocksp:
Thanks i have read, i am in EU 12.5.5, but i am sure at 90% the disconections is related to the lost of coverage, i have only this problem only in parking (no coverage) and long tunnel. I will wait to update for MIUI.

I also have the problem with Huawei watches, I have the Honor gt2, gt2 pro, gs pro, and they do the same, but in my case the problem already occurred previously with cable, therefore I rule out that the audio issue is a problem of AAwireless.

Here is the situation.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G, Android 11, One UI 3.1. Phone connects to Car wireless and bluetooth, Connects to Galaxy Watch 3.

Android Auto version: 7.0.614134

Auto: 2021 Buick Enclave, fully equipped Android Auto works connected via USB. Head Unit connects to 4G wireless, On Star, phone via Bluetooth.

After AA Wireless Setup:

AA Wireless box has a blue light

Phone says 2 things:

1/ Android Auto - Connected to your car

2/ Android Auto is connected - Continue on your car screen

Android Auto app says - Buick Connected wirelessly

Car screen says - searching for phone, it never finds it and says retry which when pushed immediately replies to retry.

Things I have done:

1/ Ensured "Add wireless projection to setting" is checked in developer settings and "wireless Android Auto" are enabled in Android Auto

2/ Reset and tried different USB Modes, passthrough and force 2.4 Ghz

3/ Enabled the Bixby Routine for Samsung Phones

4/ Reset the AA Wireless box and connected to Bluetooth directly from phone connections after deleting cache and Data from Android Auto and Google Play Services

5/ Tried using the USB Cable that worked when directly connected to USB

6/ Ensured the "Show network quality info" is set with slider on in phones network quality settings

7/ I extended the Wifi connect timeout to the max

8/ Updated via OTA

I am hoping you can help. I searched online and could not find a solution.
[Android Auto General] antman68:
There are a few reports of it happening with built-in wireless AA (not just AA Wireless). I have the same issue with AA Wireless and Samsung Note 9 and have tried some of the suggested fixes but haven't found a solution to it that works for me yet. It's more an annoyance than anything else at the moment since you can ignore it. At worst, it drains the battery a little more by waking the screen.

The other issue I am having, and again it's not a big one, is that it's not auto-resuming media on connecting, even though this is selected in AA settings. Just means that I have to press play on the screen each time I get in.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
I updated both AAWireless to 1.7.1.

Now the connection is perfect. Before I had a couple of disconnects and I had to unplug the USB-wire to get a reconnect.

Also the battery drain is ok. I lose about 12.5% per hour with AAWireless.

So it's all perfect.

Thanks again to the whole team :)
[Android Auto General] Lenster45:
I'm not a tech newbie by a long stretch, but I can't figure this out. I have an AAWireless on 1.6. It says 1.71 is available. I have tried to update it both in the car with a solid blue led and through a home charger with a blinking blue led. All it does is sit there cycling between AAWireless is connected and AAWireless is disconnected until the update fails.

Anyone know how to enable the music to automatically resume playing when connecting to aawireless?
