I would love to get an OTA update for my Sonata for its Driver Assist System / etc. The 2020 Palisade's driver assist system is vastly superior to the 2019 Sonata and I'm 99% certain it boils down to a couple tweaks / improvements software/config wise.... but I digress lol.

Apologies for the fingerprints....

With 103 DPI (I didn't bother trying to reset anything.... I just plugged it in). My Pixel 5 detected the new head unit immediately and I confirmed access (just like with my Sonata when I first "paired" it with AAW). From that point on it just worked.

I decided to see if disabling the DPI hack would have any effect on only using 2/3rds of the screen and the only difference was that it disabled split mode while still only using 2/3rds of it just like you describe above.

I see multiple issues with Chevy\GMC vehicles. Anyone have it working with a GM product?
[Android Auto General] easting:
Only about 10% of the time, 2018 Chevy Silverado. Once it starts blinking blue, I can re-plug the AA unit to USB several times. Once in a while, it will connect. Not often.

I've managed to get a solid blue occasionally in my Holden Astra - which has a similar radio to the MY20 Acadia - however, I've only ever been able to play audio - I can't get video at all on the car display.

My Holden Commodore which also has GM Mylink I haven't even been able to get audio to play :(
[Android Auto General] Nemesis_00:
Ugh.

Just got mine today and I can't configure it because the cert on the link to configure expired.

Any workaround?

My understanding is that 2.01 is a bugfix for 2.0 - new features will be in 2.1
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Because you have start / stop enabled and for some reason it doesn't work correctly. 2.0.1 is a bug fix release for 2.0. 2.1 will be released end of next week.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Ahh, so my start/stop is misbehaving?

I kind of thought it would do a quick disconnect when BT to the car died, despite there being power to the USB port for a bit after in some cars.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It should normally indeed. Bassiccly every change we do in the start / stop mechanism it breaks for half of the people and fixes stuff for the other half.

We have a way now to make it device controlled, so we can finally get rid of this horrible functionality.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Ah cool, I thought it was a bit strange and unnecessary.
[Android Auto General] Paetsch:
Hi,

I got a new Car (Toyota Corolla) and an Aawireless and I set it up yesterday.

My mobile phone is a Samsung galaxy S10 with Android 12.

Everything worked fine at the beginning, but after driving 5-15 Minutes, the box will lose the connection with the head unit and the LED starts to blink blue. And it won't regain the connection until I restart the car and the MMI.

I already tried a reset and two different usb cables and tried some of the usb modes.

Is it a known problem and what else can I do. As I said, it will get a connection at first but will lose it after a few minutes of driving and won't regain a connection even after trying another usb mode.

Thanks for an advice
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Will the new Start/Stop be compatible with Dongle mode? I find Dongle mode good on its own for Start, but bad for Stop where my Hyundai Elantra 2018 keeps the USB powered ~2 min after turning off the engine and locking the car.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, that's because the start part (waiting for handsfree) is built into AA itself. Why Google did not built in the stop part as well (kill AA on handsfree loss) is a mystery to me.
[Android Auto General] ZacJ:
I didn't notice any difference between the two :)
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
@festor tried to use companion app also. Looks like in known places (one big crossroad in the city) there is no drop, but random disconnections still appear (at least today morning it appeared). Changed wifi channel to as big as possible, also region to Estonia as it should.

Will try to change network modes (already tried to disable VoLTE).

About other phones - As i have possibility to use three aawireless devices atm, then two of them are in other cars. My wife has Oneplus 6. It was so unstable that she did not want to use it any more. Other device is in Tiguan with technisat headunit and Samsung Note10. He said that sometimes, et is more stable, sometimes drops very often. Also told that quite unusable.

I'm not sure what HW these devices are, but mine and the one that my wife is using, they are produced this year. The one that my friend uses - should be one of the earliest devices.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I decided to sit in my GFTI, testing the first time connection and projection, instead of just doing one thing before I go for a drive and then seeing if that works the next drive.

Seeing as I now knew Stop/Start was not working/behaving correctly I decided to disable that and it seems to have done the trick. I look forward to getting AA projection nice and easy/quickly again, and the driving without disconnections/dropouts.

Again for those with disconnections, is your AAW device secured or moving around in the cabin? If it's not stuck still it may be affecting performance during driving.
[Android Auto General] Cipcino81:
Hello,

can you please roll my device back to firmware 1.8 ? I have a lot of disconnections with 2.0 .

AAWireless-F4wB1ju5
[Android Auto General] Gee11:
this is the main problem with AAW.. soo many peole including me has this problem.. and theres no solution atm
[Android Auto General] festor:
I'm not sure disabling VoLTE would be a good thing, for my setup anyway, but it's just a theory. I don't really need 5g so I set 4g/LTE as preferred network and enable VoLTE in the hope it keeps the phone using 4g instead of switching down to 3g for calls. Lowering to 3g/2g cuts wifi briefly on my phone which obviously disconnects AAWireless. It seems to help, but it's hard to measure with an intermittent issue.

This should only affect Poco/Xiaomi/Redmi phones running MIUI 12.5> but it's easily tested if you manually lower the network while connected to AAWireless. Now you're using the companion app, double check VAG crash fix is enabled too for your Technisat head units.

Do you ever get disconnections while stationary? I know you tried other cables, but it might be worth another try. I think it's more to do with the AAWireless socket and a change of cable and mounting with velcro and VHB tape seemed to stop hard crashes for me. Also for others:

[Android Auto General] festor:
Oh really, the main problem? How many people have this issue?
[Android Auto General] Gee11:
very few.. just look on the forums nearly every single post have connection stability issues
[Android Auto General] Cipcino81:
My disconnection is strange, aawireless stays blue and audio still plays , but android auto interface goes away and I got a black screen with a text like "for using android auto please stop and check your phone". When I am using maps and I can't stop immediately , I must rely on audio guidance . Then I simply turn off and on my pioneer unit and Android auto starts back. Sometimes I have to do it 4 times in a row to make it work again.
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
Just checked - VoLTE was disabled. Still random drops. My phone lets only choose fro example 5G&/LTE/3g/2g or LTE/3g/2g or 3g/2g. At the moment the one LTE/3g/2g is selected.

Tiguan with techisat has VAG crash fix enabled.

My car is somewhat more stable lately. Not so often drops any more. But have had drops even when standing (no one touching the aawireless or wires).

Same goes with my friend - we did the setup, aawireless was standing still and lost connection.

All cables seems to work idally directly with phone (wired aa).

Have tried at least 5 different cables - existing ones I had and event bought some new ones. Have also tried to move those cables when device is connected and working. But did not manage to make the connection to drop.

I don't know what cables should I try more...
[Android Auto General] Cipcino81:
Yes I have tried moving aawireless with my hand and the cable too, and I got no disconnection. So I think it is not a problem with moving it. At least for me. I was thinking about a heat problem, I have noticed I got more disconnections when is hot weather. I will try to put aawireless on top of a 12x12 cm usb fan
[Android Auto General] festor:
I'm guessing you mean many and not few, but you're basing "soo many" on the recent posts here? With well over 50K units out there, I don't think a dozen (or being generous, dozens?) of posts over the past month constitutes "soo many". There are also very different reasons for instability and disconnections and it seems others have fixed their problems.

For example, my issue is entirely down to Xiaomi and their MIUI development and is totally outside of AAWireless control. It's very different to the disconnections that @Cipcino81 gets or separate issues that @worldonfire gets.

I understand your frustration and what you're trying to do, but exaggerating and dramatizing things doesn't help your situation or speed up a fix. It just means you're more likely to get ignored.

---------------------------------

@worldonfire selecting 3g/2g should force a change to 3g. Double check the network icon in the status bar after switching. I don't think it will cause a disconnection on a Samsung, but it's easily tested.

I think the cable issues are sometimes more to do with the AAWireless socket (lots of play) and constant vibration rather than poor quality cables. A tight fit and a very flexible cable will help, I think. Maybe try a different mounting location too in case heat does play a part.

I tried a number of cables which seem better, but I'm currently using this one which fits snugly and is very flexible (no strain):

yes its very frustaiting 4me. Its totally unusable 4me. Actually. Im Software/hardware/Android app engeneer too, and i know there are techically ways to fix it. But its not in my responsibility to fix a product i paid 100 Bucks for. No time 4 that
[Android Auto General] festor:
It's good you know there are "techically" ways to fix it, but just a shame you don't have the time to share that knowledge.
[Android Auto General] Paetsch:
Today was the first time with no discconnect on my 25 Minute way back home from work.

Yesterday I reset everything and changed the wifi setting to 5ghz and channel 149.

It didn't stopped the discconnects but at least the aawireless was able to reconnect.

On my way back home I tried it with the passthrough and it worked at least for this time. Let's see, how long it will last.
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
Regarding CONNECTION ISSUES:

I've used AA-wired for five years in the same car with the same phone, & I had occasional connection issues during that whole time, which I attributed to Bluetooth, or the fact that my phone may draw too much power from the USB port. For example, if the phone was charged to less than 80%, it would connect/disconnect every 1/2 second or so, so I made sure I was almost fully charged before starting.

Once I started using AAWireless, these problems have disappeared. I run AAW in default (dongle) mode.

As someone pointed out, it's usually the ones with problems that come to any forum, so one can't make a statistical case from the number of complaints on a certain issue.

Lots of other people have hotspots in their cars these days which could be causing interference in high-density traffic situations. (which I normally am not in).

Note that signal strength falls off as the reciprocal of the distance, NOT the reciprocal squared. RF energy falls off as the reciprocal squared, but not signal strength. One of the laws of physics.

FULFILLMENT TIMELINES:

When I made my 1st contribution for an AAW on 2021-12-05, the estimated delivery was January, but it arrived on March 10. 95 days, basically a 3 month timeline.

I made a 2nd contribution on May 6, with an estimated delivery of sometime in May. Then, this morning (May 23) I noticed that my contribution status on the IndieGoGo site is now "Locked":

Later today I received a USPS SMS shipping notice (from Dallas, TX, US), just like before. -- Note that I subscribe to USPS "Informed Delivery".

If the prior shipment is any indication, later this evening or tomorrow I will receive another USPS SMS announcing the actual shipment, with an expected delivery this week. Basically a 3 week timeline.

EDIT: I received it on Thursday, May 26 (20 days from ordering). I plan to keep it one version behind my other unit, unless there is a compelling reason.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If every device had connection issues we wouldn't exist anymore. We are investigating these issues, but it's very hard because there can be so many issues why this is happening. Ranging from defective devices to phones overheating or defective cables. Also some headunits can be problematic.

The high level software on the device is most definitely not the problem. Also the companion app does not influence Android Auto in any way, you don't need it to run Android Auto.

We are now at about 10 percent technical support issues of total shipped devices. About 50 percent of them can be fixed by just changing settings / clearing data on device / HU / phone.

The 5 percent that's left are the tricky ones with all kinds of different weird issues. From audio stuttering to disconnections.

Mostly at some point after some support questions we just replace them.

We test the returns we get back in Europe in the office. 60 percent of them is not actually defective and is just working fine.

This is the reality of Android Auto and doing hardware + software.

I'm pretty sure CarSiFi (and also Moto) are running into same issues. But they are less public then we are, so it's hard to say.

Created a video to show what happens when mobile data get disconnected and connected again on MIUI 12.5, same thing happens with AAWireless:
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
Yesterday checked the existing cables - they move a little bit in the usb c port, not exactly 100% tight fit.

Tried to play with the device - move it around roughty. Managed to get some drops, but i'm not sure if they were due to me moving the device or regular random drops(because i literally moved the device for several minutes roughly before the dropout appeared). Today morning tried to fix the cable with velco cable tie, but no luck. Still got some 3-4 drops during ~20m drive.

Also yesterday tried to place the device in front of AC vents to hold it cool. This also did not give any effect. Still dropouts.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I'd say contact support for a replacement: support@cpeb.it . You can refer to this post on XDA and they will replace it right away.
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
Is the bit loose usb port thing the reason to replace?

I have fight with these dropouts for several months. At first had my friends device. Support replaced that device and it did not help to resolve dropouts. At the moment that replaced device is in use in tiguan with technisat and Note 10 and it still has dropouts...

May it be something to do with the country i'm in? Estonia?

I know that after several tries/setting changes, on known location, it does not drop any more (at least has not dropped for several days. Every drop is in random places).
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Could it be shielding?

Hi Snirpo,

can i please get the Hundai SSL fix. My car is a Honda Civic, witch Passtrough disabled, i get a stable blue LED on Dongle, but Screen on HUR is black with message "Loading". With Passtrough enabled everything works fine. Should i do a factory reset an aawireless to see/install the Fix.

Device is AAWzaMCLpDu

Thanks in advance.
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
That's an interesting looking AAWireless device there ;-) I've seen it noted on another discussion that it impacts a MIUI user with native Android Auto wireless in their car as well.

Do how do we give Xiaomi a big kick up the bum to get this fixed?

Edit : To answer my own question, if all MIUI users who are experiencing this issue, could go to "Settings -> Services & Feedback -> Submit Feedback" then you can register this issue.

This is what I stated and I hope you don't mind I shared a link to your video Snirpo;

When the mobile data signal is lost then this disconnects or interrupts the WiFi connections which isn't standard android behaviour. This has a negative impact on Android auto wireless as it disconnects the session. It is believed this bug was introduced around/after Miui 12.5 and is still present in 13, is not limited to the Poco F3 and also might occur when the mobile network switches between 5g / 4g / 3g etc. This can be emulated by disabling the mobile data on the status bar pull down screen shown in the video below.

this might be the reason why my Galaxy S20+ is disconnecting the WiFi.. but i NEED to have Mobile Data ON while driving
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
I'm not sure if any samsungs have reported the same issue as with MIUI. You should be able to test it though assuming the pull down menus are the same as MIUI as in the video.

Hello guys, i had many problems of disconnection after upgrading to 2.0 firmware. I can confirm that after downgrade to 1.8 all is working PERFECT! No disconnections, start and stop perfect, AA starts in few seconds.. i think i will not update firmware anymore :)
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Hello to all,

Here an update from my side.

I did not have any sudden disconnects for weeks now.

I only had one time the issue that the phone forgot AAWireless' WiFi network. I added the device again through the companion app and everything fine again.

I also have to admit that I did a reset some weeks ago.
[Android Auto General] dscline:
FWIW, you had previously let me try the 2.1 Hyundai SSL fix because I started having to use pass-through mode after my Kia head unit had an update. That didn't fix that issue, I still had to use pass-through to get it to connect, but it did work for two weeks without a single disconnection on that firmware. Late last week I updated to 2.01, and have now had disconnects nearly every day. All the settings are the same. Last night I fished the dongle out of the dash so I can start paying attention to what the light is doing when it disconnects. So I can't really provide any useful feedback yet, other than to say that on the surface, it does appear that there may be something in 2.01 that may be contributing to the apparent rise in reported issues over the past week. I'll update once I see what the dongle reports when it happens.
[Android Auto General] Gee11:
nice, i will get my 1.8 downgrade today too :D
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:

When you enable manual wifi settings and choose Germany, you will be able to use wifi channels above 140.

As far as I know the channels 153, 157, 161, 165 and 173 are regulated by the 'Bundesnetzagentur' (German net authority) and not allowed fo private use and only for fixed locations.
[Android Auto General] dscline:
Of course. I assume I just wait until I'm connected then select the bug report option and it sends to you? I'll do it next time I'm in the car. It will be a short trip, probably not long enough to have a problem, I assume it will have previous disconnects in memory?
[Android Auto General] mcgoemek:
Hat jemand eine Idee?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, if the device has not been reset in the meantime, the logs are still on the device. You can just start debug mode, immediately stop it and send the logs.

Hi guys, I don't have any bug or problem whatsoever, I just wanna share my experience with the dpi setting and split screen. Well I don't know if there's any recent change, but last time (pre-2.0 firrmware) the maximum dpi I can put to get split screen on my old 7" pioneer HU is 103. Yesterday I updated the firmware to 2.0.1 and reset all the pairings, then I realized I can raise the dpi to 118-119 (I'm sorry I don't remember exactly) and still get spit screen. To me it's better because now I think all of the texts and labels (maps, spotify, etc) are bigger and clearer to see. So if you're in a similar situation like me maybe you can give it a try :D

Good morning!

I received my AA Wireless unit several weeks ago and after getting it setup it worked flawlessly for a while. However, after the update to 2.0 it disconnects from the head unit a lot (4-5 times on my 20 minute commute to work). I've tried enabling passthrough, disabling wifi and bluetooth scanning in location settings and disabling battery optimization. Unfortunately that hasn't helped. Any suggestions on what to try next?
