I have confirmed the problem with Start / Stop not closing Android Auto properly when the vehicle Bluetooth shuts down. Android Auto keeps your phone connected to the AAWireless WiFi while the AAWireless device remains powered.

There will need to be a future OTA firmware update to fix the problem. No timeline available right now.

You may want to disable the Start / Stop feature until it can be sorted out.

On first run, the app walks you through setup in sequence to get everything configured and connected. It will tell you when to plug in the device, when to pair bluetooth, etc.
[Android Auto General] have-a-nice-day:
As I you understand you right...

1. I connect the AAwirelsess over USB to my Car

2. The setup sequence show me on the car head unit when I must connect my smartphone (over bluetooth)

3. After that I can configure the AAwireless with the app

is it correct?
[Android Auto General] DerMuedeJoe:
Hi, i'm testing my dongle now for 2 days in Ford Mondeo/Fusion Mk5 2017 non-facelift Sync3.

It works very well, it connects within 15Sec to my Sony Xperia xz2 Compact Android 10.

But... When I use Ford Pass App via applink to record my daily Drives, AA Wireless (Not updated to 1.3 yet) tries to Connect but somehow Ford Pass seems to interupt this Connection. From this Point there is a loop, ford Pass connects , aawireless connects, Connection of Ford Pass is interupted ,it reconnects and Aawireless tries to reconnects. Anyone experiencing Same issues ? Is there a workaround?

Is the white LED created by flashing the LED Red, Green, and Blue quickly? If so, I think it gets out of sync after a while. This is what the white flashing on mine looks like after being plugged into a phone charger after 24 hours:
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
No, all the steps for the initial setup come from the app on your phone. I don't remember seeing anything on the car's head unit until AA opened. I also don't remember the exact setup sequence, but it is something like this:

1. Start car

2. plug in AAWireless

3. pair AAWireless with your phone over BT

There is a lot more information in the configuration app when you are setting it up, like how to enable wireless projection and make other phone setting changes for AAWireless to work, but I don't remember all of it. Once it is setup, you never see those screens again. The important part is that all the screens are in sequence to get it setup and running properly, so if you do everything in sequence it will work.

hi

if you try to run Waze with audio guidance on and playing for example YT music - does sound work ok? or navigation notifications start to freeze and some words missing and music glitch after couple of notifications?

and does your phone lit screen up when it connects and starts AA on car?

[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
I plugged my device into a power supply in my house overnight. I am seeing a pattern as well. It looks like white - white - red to me. But it could be cyan - cyan - red. It is interesting because the normal pattern when first plugged in is white - white - pause a beat.

Might just be an added red because the USB data lines were not connected and the device is showing an error.

Will see if plugging it into my computer changes things. Stay tuned.

Does anyone have issues with a 2019 or newer GM radio? I have a 2020 GMC Sierra and I can not connect, I get a solid blue light, My phone says I am connected to Android auto. My Android auto on my screen is grayed out. When I press it I get a msg to plug in a phone.

Hey! I have a problem with my AAWireless unit. I'm able to initially connect it (and re-connect via the full reset, removing creds from bt/wifi, clearing the memory of AA) and it shows google maps in the android auto interface. But on the second connect it doesn't work:

- phone (P30 Pro) shows that it is connected to the AA

- AAWireless: blue LED

- head unit of the car (Citroen C5 Aircross) able to play music switching input to the AA and start playing from the phone, but it is not able to show AA interface on the car display - just doesn't do anything if I click navigation button.

- WiFi on the phone connected to the AAWireless network

* I already reset everything a number of times

* Enabled passthrough (actually it works for the first time, during initial setup even with passthrough disabled by default)

* switch USB mode to direct and back again

* said a couple of prayers in Latin and summoned the demon

Nothing works out for me :-(

Any ideas?
[Android Auto General] osunick:
Anyone notice an issue with disconnects after long sessions? My AAwireless works flawlessly on drives < 90 minutes or so. After that it will periodically disconnect but my head unit is functional. I know it's disconnected because my phone starts outputting audio via BT when it happens.
[Android Auto General] xmas2:
mine AAwireless restarts itself after about 20 minutes of driving with Waze and streaming music :(

Plugging into a computer did not change the drift off of white. After about three hours it is blinking magenta - magenta - green. Another combination of the three primaries. The developers may have to rethink using white as the standby color.

My LED is still plugged in and has evolved to magenta - white - green. :eek:

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
That should not happen. I ran devices for over 12 hours without any issues. Could you send us a bug report via the app and give your device name? (AAWireless-xxxxx).

I'm actually revising the bug report functionality to make it a bit more useful and user friendly, because it completely sucks now.

[Android Auto General] George234:
I'd also be interested to know if this will be investigated. I think we're out of luck while other issues are prioritised.

I'm waiting for delivery of a unit in a future batch to compare to my first batch unit.
[Android Auto General] skiierx131:
Appreciate your effort to confirm this. Love the device and just need this one last thing working.
[Android Auto General] BigRobert:
The April 2021 update doesn't allow AA to full screen. We'll have to cross our fingers and wait for the next update
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I'm sorry it's still high on the prio list. These USB issues seem to happen with a few manufacturers (Nissan, Mazda, GM), and almost at random. For some with seemingly completely the same head unit it works, and others not. I bought a USB debugger to figure out what's happening. I can't give a timeline unfortunately, cause this is an extremely difficult issue to solve. Might be hardware, might be software.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Well bad news, I tried whole morning fixing the WiFi not disconnecting issue on the phone side for the start / stop feature. Something has changed on the Android Auto side which makes AA keep a very tight hold on the WiFi network, it's impossible to disconnect it.

There is one hack I can apply, which is like we do with OTA, take over the network, and then immediately disconnect it. But I'm pretty sure this won't work correctly on some phones. @tallleroy tested it and it wouldn't work correctly on his Samsung. On my OnePlus it did work fine, but to be honest everything you throw at the OnePlus just works.
[Android Auto General] xmas2:
hi

do i understand it that 1st i would have to enable debugging in the app... and then drive till unit restarts and then send bug report?

edit: can't enable debugging.. as soon as i slide it to ON - unit restarts and when connected again - slider is back to OFF
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
can't you just turn off the wifi on AAWireless?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I'd be happy with a very quick disconnect of the BT connection once you turn the car off.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes that's the only way, but that means firmware change. I was hoping to fix it without firmware change.
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
It would also reduce the power drain of AAWireless for cars with USB power always on, which this option is for.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah that's a bit of a problem with this feature. People are also using it to fix the issue you are describing. But for cars who don't keep the USB constantly powered this is honestly not a good solution at all. I'll probably add some kind of timeout for this case. Problem is, if I add a timeout, it will cause other issues, like the device not reconnecting immediately after a connection loss. It's not always easy to distinguish between a "stop" or an "error". It's tricky... Gotta think about it a bit.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Yeah, I hear you. My cars don't keep USB powered too long, so wifi is not an issue, but if it could kill the BT when the car disconnects, and then be ready again right away for the next connection? Ie, you could go to the shops, hop out of the car, call the wife right away and realise you need to go home, so you hop back in the car again.

I don't think people mind FW updates to fix things.

did u have a chance to look at my logs (OnJ7cDWg)? at the moment unit is unusable and support every time just sends me a typical hints from the faq :-(
[Android Auto General] odl:
Question regarding GPS - while my phone is connected to my car with cable, AA uses car/headunit GPS sensor and when using AAwireless it uses phone GPS (it can be recognized by location icon appearance in phone status bar). Is it wireless connection limitation (like wireless protocol of AA does not support using car GPS anymore) or this is just not implemented in AAwireless dongle?

Hi, i experienced music played by spotify stuttering after around 20mts drive. Unplugged and plug it back, the music back to normal. However, its stutter again after another 20mts.

Phone: samsung note 10 plus

Vehicle: mercedes benz GLA with mbux

Fw: 1.3.0

App v. 1.8.2

Wireless AA config, android auto and spotify app all set as never sleep app and not battery optimised.

Anyone has similar issue? Or any solution for this?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] embeddedlinux:
Hello,

I searched the web and this forum but could not find any working solution.

I'm using Huawei P20 PRO.

AA works fine via USB cable.

AAwireless also works - at least I can conenct wirelessly to the head unit.

However, when connected via AAwireless no application works as there is no internet connection.

Consequently, AAwireless is useless. I can't use AA.

I could not find any setting to tell the phone to use mobile internet access when the WIFI connection has no internet access.

Any solution for Huawei P20 PRO?

Thanks.
[Android Auto General] olegd:
I have P30 Pro and actually the same problem which is workarounded as following - when phone connects to the WiFi it asks something "This network has no internet connection: Cancel or Continue?". If you press cancel it still connects to the WiFi (surprise!), but uses mobile data for Internet access.
[Android Auto General] embeddedlinux:
Thanks!

However, this still makes AAwireless usless.

If I need to pick the phone to do something each time I enter the car, it is still easier to connect the USB cable.

I would like to use AAwireless in such a way that I will not have to physically touch the phone - it can stay in the briefcase or in the pocket.
[Android Auto General] olegd:
Agree with you, but this is how WiFi implemented in Huawei phones. As soon as I get AAWireless working after reconnect (it works only during the first initialization for me), I'll check other ways, maybe some kind of automatization tools like macrodroid, etc may help.
[Android Auto General] embeddedlinux:
Thank you!
[Android Auto General] comediiian:
Don't know if this problem is already reported or not.

My AAwireless works fine, fast connection and no interruptions on my Focus Sync3 and Pixel 5.

But when I'm connected, most time it says "Looking for Android Auto", although im still connected "Connected to your car".

Sometimes this message does not appear, but most time I'm connected but it's still looking for Android Auto.

Running Pixel 5 with A12 Beta, Ford Focus with Sync3.

Tried MTP and direct, also activated Passthrough .. notification is still there.

Anyone if this is a bug? Or how to fix it?

in my opinion the device also gets excessively warm when the message comes up.

Some screenshots what i mean:
[Android Auto General] andy o:
You can do that with Tasker too, but dunno why though, it’d be easier to tell Tasker to do it when the BT connection to AAWireless happens, it’s the first event that connects to the phone. Or is that not working well for you?

Also since that post Tasker has made it much easier, you can now press third party app quick settings tiles with Tasker (without AutoInput or root). Most VPN apps include a tile so it becomes a lot easier and more versatile.
[Android Auto General] DMac1900:
FWIW I have the same problem with a Realme phone, it requires me to unlock the phone and respond to a prompt to allow it to change to mobile data. Unfortunately it will then connect to another wifi network with internet access if it can, so I can't do this until I'm some distance from home/work etc.

Hoping that an update to Android 11 (eventually) will cure this.

Annoyingly I have an old Honor phone, running Android 9, which works fine with AAWireless.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You just have to ignore the dialog at all, don't cancel and don't continue. Then internet will keep working.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Oh that's quite interesting actually, so it seems an Huawei (Honor) Android 10 issue? Maybe?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Try to use passthrough mode to check if this still happens.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I checked the logs. Communication is fine, but no AV messages. According to our backend you are still on 1.2.3. Can you try to update to 1.3.0? We changed some stuff to make the device send the correct protocol version (before it was hardcoded to 1.1, which is extremely old).
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
Just a short Update with the VW head-unit:

The Crashing of it since the Last update is completely gone after activating Direct-Mode and the audiostamp-option.

But there are two problems they are the same like in the other FWs

1. Lagging of Google Maps in higher sights

2. The voice-recognition for Google Assistent is really Bad now. With cabled version, there was it nearly perfect, but now unuasable for a recorded text. And: the voice for read out messages seems to be a completely other language than before. It Sounds more "robotic" and many words seems to be red in a english slang....(i am from Germany).

Is there any change for fixing it? The first Problem could be better with higher transfer rate.

My Smartphone is laying directly on AAW, but something seems to be more limitated than with cable.

The other problem seems to be a problem with the transfer from mic to the HU of the Car.

Thanks for your great help at here!!
[Android Auto General] DMac1900:
Don't know about Huawei/Honor, but my Realme phone is on Android 10 (Realme UI 1.0).

From what I've read it appears that there are issues around some Chinese phones switching to mobile data whilst connected to AAWireless.

I have all of the correct settings on my phone, but it still pops up these notifications.

I've contacted Realme, but only received automated responses so far.

Hey guys, got my unit last week but have been having an issue with the audio dropping/skipping every 10-20 seconds. The drops are very short, consistently only a fraction of a second, but the frequency of them ruins the music and makes it more worthwhile to use the cable. Sometimes the skips go away, but for the majority of my drives so far they have been present.

I'm in a 2016 Chevy Colorado. Using MTP and passthrough enabled are the only settings that have gotten AA Wireless working in my truck, direct mode doesn't work. I've also updated the firmware.

Wow! Thanks a lot, guys!!! this setting in the AA fixed "no video, just audio" issue with my C5 Aircross. It should be added to the FAQ or may be even to the setup step in the application

The next question :-) Using the "request video focus on startup" setting, the head unit switched to the AA interface (Maps, in particular), started playing audio via the AA, but (!) audio actually didn't changed in the car, so Next/Prev track buttons on the steering wheel work in the Radio mode, switching Radio memory instead of switching tracks as expected.

Any hints?

@Snirpo as I wrote before "request video focus on startup" helped me to get AA interface on the head unit of the C5 Aircross (not only audio). Is it a recommended way to fix this issue or something could be done on the AAWireless side to, let say, force this without changing something in the AA dev settings?

I'm also wondering, is non-correctly working buttons on the steering wheel (Nxt/Prv track switches Radio, since head unit still thinking that input is set to the Radio, not AA) is a side effect of this parameter?
[Android Auto General] olegd:
