for anyone that has the above merc knob issue - this is fixed in the 3.2 beta. feel free to request the beta from support and they will provide access.

in the meantime, while you're on 3.1, the center touchpad will act like a touchscreen, so touching roughly the bottom right side where the OK button is will get out of the setup screen. after upgrading to the beta, the knob will work properly and the center and steering wheel touchpads will work more like the knob.
[Android Auto General] mockbuy:
What app version are you running? Mine is 3.35-1091 and I don't see that toggle.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
@Snirpo any way for the app to show us the hardware info of a device?
[Android Auto General] koyotanim:
3.36-1110 but I'm joined the app beta program
[Android Auto General] Lexandroid205:
It works Like a Charm!

Thanks a Lot!
[Android Auto General] Abu Khaled:
@Snirpo Can you add me to the 3.2 Beta Firmware?

Device ID: AAW6908aae9
[Android Auto General] J_E_F_F:
new app version with "enable beta firmware" toggle was released this morning 3.36-1110

update through the play store or apk here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/aawir...awireless-for-android-auto-3-36-1110-release/
[Android Auto General] l3s:
Unfortunately it looks like to have the Fenix 6 in airplane mode does not resolved the problems.

In the meantime I have updated the Fw to 3.1 and the app to the Firebase current release...

I can confirm fullscreen on Giulia. Unfortunately I can also confirm not working buttons on wheel, and strange behavior of center console d-pad/wheel. Any possibility to get 3.2 faster? AAW909f9aa5
[Android Auto General] KamaL:
That's amazing! I've been waiting for this for so long, will finally order AAwireless to have AA in fullscreen on my Merc too!

How can I access Beta 3.2 to be able to use the knob buttons?

Awesome news! Can you confirm all buttons work? I usually use only the centre console wheel and knob and less the steering wheel buttons. Does that work properly now?

Any limitations so far?
[Android Auto General] 88fingerslukee:
It froze at 26%. I'll try it again but this is getting frustrating.
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
The latest official software for your headunit is 369. This may or may not help with the rebooting issue, but I can talk you through the update if you do want to do it.
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
Yes thanks, I'll send you a message
[Android Auto General] charlie234:
Oh man, the post below you says they got it working on a 2019 cx5 + pixel 3. I wonder what the difference is.

I hope the aawireless team is able to figure it out so my wife isn't right about my purchase :(

I don't know if reflashing/resetting will do anything difference if my head unit isn't detecting the aawireless device and my phone keeps searching for an android auto connection. Maybe I'll give that a shot tonight just to eliminate further possibilities.
[Android Auto General] charlie234:
Hi George

It's weird because a user posted they got it working (even if it's with pass through) on their 2019 cx5. Your vehicle and mine are 2016, I wonder if that's the reason why or at least factors into it somehow.
[Android Auto General] 88fingerslukee:
So now I can't even get it to show me the update status. Please somebody stop me from throwing this thing in the garbage 🤬🤬🤬
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
Install dram fix manually using your PC.
[Android Auto General] 88fingerslukee:
so it was a VPN app on my phone that was causing issues. Thanks to all who tried to help.
[Android Auto General] dablessing:
Yeah, I forgot to mention I had to bypass in Blokada.
[Android Auto General] MariS9Maz:
It's working great now! I tried it today with Passthrough turned on and off, and both work fine. I have USB set to retry. I have not changed any other settings. I turned off the car and left the cable connected, and AAWireless was successful again after I restarted the engine.

Great job, AAWireless team! Thanks for making this available.
[Android Auto General] Cavin8:
Updated to 1.2.3 last night (did the "DRAM fix" via PC when the tool first came out)

Everything is working amazingly now!!

Headunit has not rebooted once. Not a single audio skip and no delay in AA at all!

AAW team, you guys are awesome!
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
Out of interest can you confirm what software you have on your mib2 or even better the SW train, found by holding menu for 3-5 seconds, clicking software update and then version. It would be good to know the SW AAwireless is running good on.

Just read your previous post about the reboot happening after the next song on Spotify having no sound, that is the exact way mine has rebooted on sw475. But has only happened once in last 3 days.
[Android Auto General] mapinkerton:
@charlie234 @George234

My wife's Mazda 6 is a 2016 running on the same headunit with Mazda Connect software version 70.00.100 and it works perfectly with her Pixel 3aXL as well using the cable supplied in the AAWireless box. No need for passthrough mode since updating to v1.2.x firmware, even customizing DPI works nicely.

It's definitely frustrating that some of the CX-5s are working fine while others are not, but for whatever reason that model seems to be a bit more problematic. Hopefully @Snirpo & team can catch their breath from the DRAM fire drill and get to the bottom of your issues to have you up and running soon!
[Android Auto General] Cavin8:
Yeah for sure!

I took pictures of the service menus since I was not 100% sure what I was looking for. I was not seeing anything along the lines of swXXX, but here is it anyways.

I hope this helps you out!
[Android Auto General] Marshy33:
Thanks...You're on 357, the most up to date for yours is 367, but again no point updating if it's running well so far with the 1.2.3 update.

Please let me know if you do start getting headunit reboots again. Trying to put a list of software together so we can easily see what is stable and what isnt
[Android Auto General] Lucas_Skyline:
Phone: Samsung S20+ (Exynos)

Car: VW Polo Highline 2020

HU: MIB2.5 (3Q0035864C, I think it is made by Delphi)

Hi guys!

Received my unit today and tested right away, but I saw that the connection was tooking almost 2min.

My AAWireless is from the first batch, so I didn't mind doing the DRAM fix and just updated the app via OTA (to 1.2.0).

Tried to connect again many times, but the connection is taking reeeally long (1 of them took almost 3min).

I already made 2 things that I found on the FAQ:

1. Added AAWireless and AndroidAuto to the list of apps that do not sleep (preveting battery saving features from Samsung) and

2. Added a Bixby Routine to press the Home button to wake the Wireless connection as soon as the Bluetooth is connected.

From what I can tell, the problem is between the AAwireless and the HeadUnit (the majority of time that I'm waiting, the AAwireless is blinking blue), because the phone connects to the Wireless network on AAwireless very fast.

I tried to change the Wifi Connection Timeout to 10s, but I didn't see any improvements.

Any other ideas for me to try?

Thank you very much!
[Android Auto General] Lucas_Skyline:
Quick update on this: changing the USB Mode from MTP to Direct made it PERFECT! The connection is taking basically the same time as it was on cable.

For those with the same HU, changing the DPI to 130 (defaut seems to be around 150) really helped in order to see more text (in Waze, I always need to scroll way down, now its easier). 103 seems to be the DPI for widescreen, but I did not see any improvement having my music information on the left.

Thanks!

2018 maxda cx5, oem aa kit installed, aa wireless updated to latest bootloader and firmware, working perfectly.

samsung galaxy a51 - android 11

cheers
[Android Auto General] mc01319:
I have an update for successful connection (at last) with Nissan Qashqai J11 2019. The phone that I use is Samsung Galaxy s20 plus snapdragon (android 11).

- My AA Wireless was from the first batch shipped.

- My version of AAWireless config is 1.7.1.

- The firmware of AA Wireless device is 1.2.0.

- The version of Android Auto app is 6.3.611324.

In order to get the device work I used a USB hub (Belkin 4 Port Travel Hub) see the link below but I believe that other hubs work also.

Belkin 4 Port Travel Hub : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Belkin 4 Port Travel Hub : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

www.amazon.co.uk

Then I connected the AA Wireless devive to hub using a original Samsung cable. Regarding the options, I had MTP with retry enabled and disabled the Passthrough. I had also enabled the Auto Video Focus at both the Developers options of Android Auto and at the config app of AA Wireless. With these options the Android Auto works smoothly along with Spotify. I made 2 hours driving without problem.

Additionally, I changed the DPI to 100 to have the Android Auto split screen. You can see the attached image for the result. Personally I would like the letters to be bigger so today I will check with DPI to 90.

A lot of thanks to Emil for the time he spent and his suggestions.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
So after I updated the AAW in the GTI last night I took it for a spin tonight just now and noticed that AAW was rebooting on the way, the fourth time at least as I was about to park upon arrival, and then again as I was sitting there not even playing music.

It was getting worse and worse for some reason and I realised with the phone in my head than it was like it was having buttons pressed. I thought it was the web page I was on but it was due to the constant reboots of the AAW.

Never did I see the VW logo, the headunit was fine, only Appconnect was going up and down and eventually it was starting Ave rebooting over and over.

I tried some other settings and nothing helped, it would die and start again before the maps showed up. It rebooted all the way home for 20 minutes.

This was with the Baseus cable I used just before I got AAW and was in use before the update.

I found the longer AAW cable and tried it and our seems to have calmed down.

I'll drive the car tomorrow to test it some more.
[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
3.2 will very likely not help you

Alfa doesn't support left/right/up/down on the knob/d-pad in carplay even if it physically moves in those directions

To help on cars like this we have a "gesture" feature. Normally the wheel rotation will scroll. If you then push the knob to the left, for 10 seconds, or as long as it's used, the knob rotation will control left/right navigation and the track forward/reverse will control up/down navigation. To exit gesture mode, either push the knob to the left again, or wait 10 seconds without pressing any of the gesture mode buttons.

Steering wheel controls should work, as it is my understanding that next/previous track themselves are on the steering wheel.

Also note that for all users, phone calls are currently not expected to work via AA over CP unless the car allows Bluetooth during carplay. Some cars such as Alfa do allow this, but for example Mercedes doesn't. When 3.2 is released it will likely support phone calls.

I've updated the client app to 3.36-1110, but I can't find the beta update toggle in the system update card. Is there any additional thing I need to do? Thank you.
[Android Auto General] BEM-HAJA:
@Snirpo

I have the audio-stutter-fix version and would like to go back to the production version.

My device is AAWf7667875

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] koyotanim:
Hi, how did you manage that? Since I updated to version 3.2, Apple Careplay can no longer be started?

I've already tried everything :/

- Different cable

- AAWireless adapter reset to factory settings

- Cleared the memory contents and cache of Android Auto

- Set the encryption under AA to "off"

- Activated the start fix under Android Auto

- Cleared the memory contents and cache of the AAWireless app

Many thanks for your help!
[Android Auto General] ijuzwa:
Hi,

I was using AAwirless with Xiaomi 12X for a year, but random disconnects drive me crazy. I'm about to order Samsung S23 and only major requirement is the best possible compatibility with AAwireless. I went through the topic and saw some issues, some fixed.

But I will appreciate most recent feedback from S23 users if this phone is working out of the box without any bug-fixes, etc?
[Android Auto General] marias77:
Did anyone find a solution to the issue with the current Toyota audio systems with wireless Apple car play and wired android auto not being able to connect with aawireless?
[Android Auto General] plavez:
Guten Tag. Ich bin sehr froh, dass Mercedes einen Vollbildmodus hat. Wo kann man über Version 3.2 schreiben? E-Mail-Adresse, wenn möglich?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We've been investigating. It is possible, but cumbersome.

First, you need to disable dongle mode, because the car from some unknown (dumb) reason disables normal handsfree (without AA running) when AA is enabled. Same thing happens wired. Use AA once and next time you get into the car, hands free will not automatically connect.

Next, if you don't want to manually start it up everytime through the car's settings, you need an Y cable to make the dongle keep power and enable "auto video focus". The car kills USB power once when starting AA. Then the dongle reboots, and the car side times out and will not get video or audio focus.

Every AA dongle will have these issues.
[Android Auto General] J_E_F_F:
If you switch to the beta firmware through the app, if you toggle back the beta switch, will it revert back to the lesser version stock firmware?
[Android Auto General] mockbuy:
I just checked and it's not there. I even tried to reinstall the app and doing a factory reset. Am I doing something wrong? Every setting is default besides the carplay beta switched on.
[Android Auto General] evoGage:
I'm on the 2.3.0 stutter fix firmware.

Will I be able to receive 3.1 when it comes out?
[Android Auto General] mike1986.:
Ok, so we're flashing/testing new firmware and there's still no changelog to at least know what we're experimental rabbits in? It's a bit unprofessional.
[Android Auto General] GPSMapper:
So, I have upgraded from global region 'MI' to global 'EU' region and fw tree, but this didn't help.

Apparently the fix is not only FW dependent, but also device specific.

On Xiaomi 12 stock MIUI the 'disconnects' are still there, even with latest 14.0.13 TLCEUXM.
[Android Auto General] belarmito:
:(

I also have alfa Giulia but still have 3.0.0 fw version. How could you update to 3.1?
[Android Auto General] koyotanim:
Quick update, after just really setting everything up again from scratch, AA works via Apple Carplay! Now I can use Android Auto in full screen on my Mercedes via Apple Carplay. Additionally, this has fixed some of my problems ;)

- My music is now dimmed when I get navigation instructions

- The resolution is a lot sharper

- Skipping the music tracks works immediately (before it was sometimes 3-4 seconds)

- When I use the Google Assistant, the music continues automatically afterwards

The only problem I currently have is that the touchpad on the steering wheel works but it's way too sensitive. Swiping from left to right is practically impossible. Pressing the button also works in principle, but is unusable as every micro-movement moves the cursor.

It feels as if a sensitivity of 800% has been set.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
That's intresting, so AA over CP works better than native AA?
[Android Auto General] plavez:
Good afternoon. Can you tell me how this is AA via CP?
[Android Auto General] Lexandroid205:
The Buttons work well, Only the Touch knobs on the wheel and the Center Touchpad are a too sensitive

No big tricks as far as i remember.

Unfortunately, I can't see the exact settings at the moment as I'm not in the car. I had tested the whole thing in advance with an iPhone with various combinations of settings in the carplay section.

After a successful connection could be established there, I went to Android Auto via Carplay.

For my Mercedes from 2019, I have to say that Android Auto has been very neglected compared to Apple carplay.

The worst thing is probably that you only have a fraction of the display available in native Android Auto.

And since Mercedes makes no effort to correct these significant differences with an update, I am grateful that there is now a good solution.

I've already tried a few other adapters, but so far none have come close in terms of operation and functionality.
[Android Auto General] koyotanim:
Yes, definitely. I was surprised too, but it works so much better. Sad from Mercedes actually :/

I am so glad that AAWireless exists. My car now feels more premium <3
[Android Auto General] alexxutzu:
Anyone else having problems with the audio part? I use AA wireless with Android 14 S23 Ultra and since the update to Android 14, youtube music keeps stopping (interrupt).

Also can I get the last official update? I made a downgrade and I want the last version please. @Snirpo
[Android Auto General] hizhonor:
My Samsung Galaxy 23U just updated to Android 14 and AAWireless is now just flashing the green light. Walking though the installation instructions, I went looking for the “Wireless projection” option in the Android Auto app. Even tho Developer options are enable, that option no longer appears.

Has 14 moved things around? Is enabling Wireless Projection option no longer needed ?

Other things to check?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
Good evening, i installed the latest beta app Update but have no beta firmware toggle. Maybe it's because of the following installed firmware? I'm on Firmware 2.3.0 - 202303021808-audio-stutter-fix-b21a-e0cbac755103.

Is there any stable release i could receive?
[Android Auto General] DMac1900:
My AAWireless was autoconnecting to my 2023 Toyota (latest Smart Connect + multimedia) and autofocussing until last Friday. (I've had the AAWireless since April 2021, so I think it's original generation)

Since then I can get the car to connect via AAWireless by doing this;

1. Start the car

2. Go into the car's connection settings for my phone (Devices, Bluetooth)

3. Disable the Android Auto option and enable phone/media (the Toyota system doesn't allow for both to be enabled at once)

4. Select 'Connect', wait for it to show that's done

5. Enable the Android Auto option (which disabled phone/media)

The car then recognises the Android Auto connection from AAWireless and switches to Android Auto, which runs without problems thereafter. (Sometimes it takes several tries to get this to work)

That morning Android Auto updated to v10.8 (I'm guessing that this is the problem) before then it worked without me having to do anything. (I didn't make any changes to my phone, car or AAWireless settings and there weren't any system updates)

From the way it is behaving now it seems like my phone (Google Pixel 7a on Android 14) is connecting to the AAWireless OK (it pings as usual when I start the car and gives a notification that AAWireless is synchronising) but something is stopping AAWireless from connecting to the car. Does that make sense?

I have since updated Android Auto to 10.9.634604-release, no change.

AA works perfectly (instant connection & auto focus) when I connect the phone via USB.

Further to this, when I'm connected to AA the ring tone is playing from the phone speakers.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Android Auto General] atub78:
Hi @joeyberkovitz and @Snirpo

A few people wrote that AA over CP works in full screen on a 2019 Mercedes C Class (Comand). I have a 2020 Mercedes E Class (facelift) with MBUX, however AA over CP unfortunately is still not shown in full screen.

AA over CP:

This is how normal AA (without Carplay) looks like:

This is the MBUX navigation screen:

In am running the latest 3.2.0-202311221820 dev build on a Google Pixel 8 Pro.

As you can see, AA over CP is shown in different resolution as well. I tried to send a bug report, maybe you can investigate this issue.

Thank you very much.

BR, atub
[Android Auto General] Lexandroid205:
Do you have the option of connecting an iPhone and testing the following? Is Apple carplay in full screen mode when you connect an iPhone?

If this is not the case, the hurdle is once again the hardware from Mercedes.

In my S205 (c class 2019 facelift) without MBUX, Carplay is always in full screen mode. only native Android Auto cannot display full screen mode.
[Android Auto General] atub78:
Unfortunately, I do not have an iPhone in my household. I may try to find someone...
[Android Auto General] Lexandroid205:
Unfortunately, I fear that the MBUX system is currently the bottleneck, from what I found on Google:

Signez la pétition

Apple Carplay full screen on Mercedes MBUX 10.25 inches

www.change.org

It's a shame that an upmarket brand like Mercedes-Benz hasn't learned anything from the mistakes of the past when it comes to newer models. At least even Volkswagen manages to do that better in the Golf 8...
[Android Auto General] spagebay:
Hi guys , I ve decided to join XDA as probably the best place to seek, advice. Hope to get AAW working. I ve connected unit to my Volvo XC40 using cable from AAW box and radio isn't recognising android auto. I ve done all steps provided in AAwireless app on my Realme Neo 2 , connected by cable to radio (factory radio unit) ten connected AAwireless unit it started blinks green displayed connection window on Realme do i ve clicked BT connection and next stepe started with attempt to estabilish connection with car radio but after one minute no change. Attempted with other cable same fail. Anyone can help with advice?
[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
does your car even support Android Auto? I'm pretty sure the newer XC40s run Android Automotive, with no support for Android Auto
[Android Auto General] spagebay:
Yes on the cable phone is working fine. Tried with carlink kit 4 and 5 were not working properly or at all.
[Android Auto General] marias77:
I have had issues with the new Australian Toyota audio systems, seems like a silly configuration which doesn't allow bluetooth and Android auto to be connected at the same time
[Android Auto General] belarmito:
same here with Giulia. I just updated to 3.1.0 and now AA over CP works with fullscreen (great!), but it cannot be used correctly, like in 3.0.0 version.

Wheel turn works fine, also wheel push-clic. What does not work is down/left/right wheel side push (if you press wheel up it shows car's different options, which I guess is normal behavior in Giulia's carplay usage).

This wheel down/left/right side push not working means that CP is not usable, as you cannot go to left side options column in the screen to select google maps, spotify, telephone, etc.

In spotify, I have also seen that if selector is over play/pause icon, you cannot move it to right and left to select next and previous song.

Do AAwireless developers know about this problem in this Giulia/Stelvio CP interface? If they get to fix these issues, AA over CP would be 100% working in these Alfa Romeo models.
[Android Auto General] mORGANInter:
Read joeyberkovitz's post after mine. It's working as he described, quite easy to get used to.
[Android Auto General] belarmito:
Do you mean that a giulia with an iPhone connected through cable to carplay would behave the same?
[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
yes. if you connect an iPhone to one of these Alfa's or similar, you should see that if you push the knob to the left it goes back, but right/up/down does nothing. This should occur both wired or wireless through the AAW. This isn't really an issue for iPhones because Apple designed CarPlay to allow for navigating through the full UI using just a scroll, which is why some cars don't support all directions on the knob.

Android Auto, on the other hand, either requires a touch screen, or a knob that can do left/right/up/down to effectively navigate the UI, which is why we added the gesture mode for AA over CP on cars like this.
