I just want to leave a big THANK YOU for the developers! You invented a great product and do a great job here.

Anyone who has ordered the product knows that it is a crowdfunding project, which may also have teething problems. I find it cheeky to get upset about problems, even though they are dealt with promptly here. What more should the distributors do than react to the problems here and offer solutions?

I also have problems with the device, but I was helped quickly. Even if it takes a few days.

Dear team: Keep up the good work!

I've check this week and I was on 1.7.1 but the apps told me there was a new version... 1.5.0

Maybe the Dev team rollback all the updates and get back to 1.5
[Android Auto General] claywalker2000:
I have a 2018 Nissan Murano and I got aawireless setup but when it tries to start android auto it gives me a message that says: Android failed to connect.

If I plug the phone directly in by usb then android auto will start.

Anyone know what I can do to fix aawireless to connect to my murano and start?

Thanks.
[Android Auto General] hand-filer:
I didn't bother switching it to force 2.4GHz. I just tossed it in the pouch and it's been working great ever since.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Huh, the app is trying to downgrade me to 1.5.0 now too, but 1.7.1 is the best version I've ever had on it, so I'll stay on it, thanks. ;)
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
I also noticed yesterday that my OTA was saying there was an update from 1.7.1 to 1.5

I'm guessing it's something to do with anyone who has had their devices rolled back to "x" version for whatever reason. Possible people on the beta builds too? Either way I've also ignored it and remained on 1.7.1

To those complaining about cables etc and this isn't working - that isn't working...

First: try using the cable direct from your phone to your head unit, bit of a giveaway if it also doesn't work from your phone to head unit.

Second: the app has never worked for me for connecting my device for Android auto. I just connected via Bluetooth to my AAwireless, then it at least allows you connect and change the In - app settings to find a configuration that works for you.

Third: if you're struggling to get your device showing on screen I recommend either turning off your house wifi or go for a drive and park somewhere that you DON'T have other wifi trying to connect. Once you've got your settings ready to roll and you manage to connect successfully, you can set and leave your device regardless of other wifi around you it will keep on working. Just some thoughts to help out
[Android Auto General] yahoo666:
Hey. VAG fix on, nothing changed. What do you suggest to do as a next step? What could be the reason for the car to disable USB power? A loose cable connector?

What I could think of is to find someone with the same unit, and ask for plugging the AAW onto different car to see how it works. Search in progress.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Might have found something, you should be able to able to a beta version now.
[Android Auto General] yahoo666:

Hello,

I don't know why but I now have disconnecting issue when I receive call - Skoda Head unit 2017 +AA.

Didn't had issue before. Is there some tips & tricks for this ?
[Android Auto General] kevria:
Thats definitely possible but I would have expected to see a note about it in the last update.
[Android Auto General] -Loom-:
Today I drove to work as usual (VW Golf 7 - MIB 2.5), and after establishing the AAW connection, the headunit just went black. Still lit, but just a black screen. Tried eversthing from reseating the cable, deleting the bluetooth and wireless device on my OnePlus 8T - nothing helped. Just the black screen.

Before my way home I rebooted the phone, and everything worked smoothly again. Just for the folks who might experience the same thing. I did just forget the easiest step., whatever the problem was with the phone ...
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi. Could it be, that my inductive antenna in the center armrest is disturbing the aawireless and that ist the problem of disconnects by mib 2? The aawireless is lying next to the antenna in the armrest. What do you think about that ?
[Android Auto General] mars1300:
Hi. Just wanted to give some info about my experience. I have one from the batch that needed the DRAM fix, and am using with a Mazda infotainment. After the DRAM fix the device was rock solid, it probably crashed/rebooted twice over a few months.

This was being used on Mazda vehicle with firmware 70.00.367A.

After updating to Mazda firmware 74.00.230A it started crashing constantly, multiple times on a 15 minute drive. I contacted support and got told to send it in for a replacement, but I decided to wait a little and see if the 1.7.1 update fixes those crashes.

The 1.7.1 update made things a lot better, but it still crashes occasionally, maybe once every 3 or 4 drives, which is usable, but not as good as it was on the older Mazda firmware. I'm hoping that this gives you something to track down with Mazda's update. Since I don't drive too much, I think I will wait and hope for a software fix before I send it in for a replacement.
[Android Auto General] olliesshop:
I just got the device a couple of days ago, but haven't been able to get the Android Auto icon on my car screen change to blue. What's interesting is my phone says AAWireless is connected to my car and to continue on my car's screen. My phone is a Pixel 5 with Android 11 and my car is a 2020 Buick Encore GX (the same as the 2020 Chevrolet Trailblazer).

Android Auto icon is grey instead of bright blue when it's working.
[Android Auto General] doongoo:
On my Suzuki Vitara 2018 head unit if I receive a call, android auto just shows it normally as intended. If I press the accept button on the screen the android auto connection gets lost for a couple of seconds and after that the head unit takes over the call via bluetooth (as it were no android auto connected). After hang up the call, android auto returns back. Phone is a Poco F3 (miui 12.5). Earlier it was working great, but after some updates (and lately downgrade) of the AAwireless firmware it just turned the wrong way. Any advice?
[Android Auto General] CamaroBob:
I have a 2018 Camaro & I received my AAWireless unit. I could not get it too work. It would connect briefly for telephone & Audio, then reset. My phone is in developer's mode, Android Auto is set for wireless. All the set-up options are "grayed out". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, can somebody help?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] seseattle:
Some USB mode feedback.

I'm on 1.7.1 and it's working well on my '19 Ram 1500 with the 12" UConnect screen - except that it pops up a "device not supported" on every 2nd or so reconnect. This was fixed by putting it in MTP mode and now it is working perfectly.
[Android Auto General] dzeidzei:
I'm also quite happy with 1.7.1 on my passat gte. Only flaw seems to be the one i've had for quite a long time. I think pre-1.5.0:

Sometimes, maybe one out of 5 times AA just doesn't launch. Workaround for this is has been for me to open app, got to start/stop setting, disable and enable it back and then save settings. After this AA will launch in about 10 seconds, everytime.
[Android Auto General] ekraus50:
I have a Ford with Sync 3. The AAwirless module works as stated but when I shut the vehicle down and exit

the phone stays connected until I am pretty far away. If I am on a call it stays connected but with no voice.

The USB port stays active for some time. And if I exit the car am close enough the AAmodule connects to the phone.

My only cure it to unplug the module. Any idea how to fix this?
[Android Auto General] Lenster45:
I've had my unit for about a week now. Its running 1.6 and says no update available with is fine by me since its been operating flawlessly. The only quirk is. I listen to audio music stored on my phone using VLC media player. The player no longer resumes from where is left off when I turn the vehicle on. I have to enter the app on the HU and select the playlist. It always resumed correctly when attached by cable.

[Android Auto General] yahoo666:
Adding up to what I've already wrote here. What I've noticed is that when the AAW is in "blinky blue" status (which means it's available to be enabled on the HU, but not enabled) - it could stay in this state forever. But after it turns to solid blue (which means the AAW has been enabled on the HU) - it crashes as described.

Also noticed, that after last update to beta 1.8 I get red light when booting.

cheers

[Android Auto General] Lenster45:
Problem started showing up. Device stays at blinking green. I followed the instructions to reset everything. Still doing it. A message says "Internet Unavailable cannot Auto Connect" and it never disconnects from the home WIFI.

If I power it from a outlet. It works fine and goes to blinking blue. It disconnects my home network and connects to the AAWireless WIFI. It I reconnect it to the car again, back to blinking green.

Edit: Works fine in the car when connected on a cable. On firmware 1.6 but it says no update available. Also tried 2.4G wifi.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Even though I don't have any problems on 1.7.1 (actually working the best it's ever worked), a bit more of an official statement on the apparent global rollback to 1.5.0 would be nice. 🤔
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, sorry we probably should've communicated that. All older batch devices are now back to 1.5. We had some issues coming in of devices having connection issues on 1.7 and also cases where WiFi stopped working. It might be a bit confusing, but to prevent a lot of tickets coming in with "can you downgrade my device" we decided to provide 1.5 as latest firmware again. I'm now waiting for some returns to come in where the Wifi stopped working (mostly batch 3 devices), so I can analyze what's happening and restart the rollout.

Next time we will probably do a phased rollout, cause rolling out an update sucks with the amount of hardware variance we have at the moment.

I have Seat Ateca built 2018, Samsung 9+, Android 10,...updated ota last week on 1.7.1 and it's working well with original cable.
[Android Auto General] Selo68:
I have the same problem. I don't know if this is caused by vehicle infotainment or AAW
[Android Auto General] *****_***:
I got my AAwireless two weeks ago. As far as I know it is from last batch. Firstly I updated it to 1.7.1.

I've noticed it crashes randomly... After crash a light in the AAW device is still solid blue. In order to make it working again I need to unplug AAW device from car and connect again. I tried to use other cables but it does not help.

I use it with samsung galaxy s20+.

My car is KIA Proceed MY21 with widescreen.

Do you have any idea how to fix it? Maybe should I change something in settings?

Hi @Snirpo,

Im stuck at the v. 1.7.1 with no working wifi after the upgrade. Emil says he rolled med back to v. 1.5.0, but no update to be seen in companion app.

I downloaded the v. 1.5.0 firmware om pc. Please explain how to re-flash the unit.
[Android Auto General] festor:
Do you have the password?

[Android Auto General] Zece-88:
Yes, I do have the WiFi password from support
[Android Auto General] festor:
And following the guide above doesn't work?
[Android Auto General] Zece-88:
The step:

Connect to the device via WiFi on your PC/laptop with this password.

I can't do that since the WiFi network never shows up. Tried both 2,4/5GHz
[Android Auto General] mars1300:
@Snirpo @Emil Borconi Just wondering if you think these crashes will be solvable through software updates or if I should send it back for a replacement as was instructed by support. If you think it's solvable I don't mind waiting.
[Android Auto General] :
My device works greeat so far. It just looses the connection 2-3 times a drive. it will connect after a few seconds back. but it still is a problem i guess. is there a fix?

Since there are so many cases with reconnecting i wanna specify.

It connects perfectly fine! After 15-20mins the connection is lost for 5-10-15seconds. and then i can reconnect via my carscreen.

Some time into the drive the same happens again. The disconnects seems at the same gps position...

Im on batch 2 and v1.7.1 has been doin very well for my unit. My car HU is mbux system. So i will skip the downgrade.
[Android Auto General] Spikes234:
Just got my unit a week or so ago. It works great but I've noticed sporadically (it seems like half the time) the unit will not power on when plugged into my center console USB port(s). As soon as I unplug from the USB port and re-plug it in, it powers up. I assume this isn't the unit's fault, but I've also never had issues charging devices in those ports and never have to unplug/replug to get it to work, so I am kind of at a loss.

This is on a 2017 GMC Sierra. Has anyone experienced this before? I suppose I can try one of the other USB ports not in the center console.
[Android Auto General] jackfate:
My formerly perfectly working unit has starting having intermittent connection issues where I hear sound from my phone speakers for < 5 seconds before it goes back to normal.

I'd love to blame this on my Pixel 4XL's recent upgrade to Android 12 but it had started happening a few weeks ago. Changing the cable hasn't helped. Any other ideas? I have a Pixel 6 Pro coming later in the week to try.
[Android Auto General] Area51©:
What firmware version is your unit on? If it's the default 1.7.0 it's a common issue that's fixed in 1.7.1. See if you can upgrade to 1.7.1.
[Android Auto General] Spikes234:
It was on 1.7.0 so I updated, I didn't know that, so cheers!
[Android Auto General] Area51©:
@Snirpo Maybe it's an idea to add something to the FAQ on https://cpeb.freshdesk.com/ about the non boot issue. Something like:

No light on AAWireless after my head unit boots up. After disconnecting / connecting USB to AAWireless, it works as normal.

Cause: non boot issue.

Fix: Upgrade to 1.7.1.
[Android Auto General] CoIdBIood:
Hi guys,

I am new here, and I have an issue with AAwireless which I can't find in this topic yet. AAwireless says it must be an issue with the phone, and they don't support it, and so they can't help me find the logs or anything in the AAwireless device to see what the issue is.

Car unit: Sync 3

Phone: Xiaomi Mi 11, android 11, MIUI 12.5.7

It was working fine, then it suddenly stopped connecting with bluetooth. It pairs, but doesn't want to connect. With an old phone it works fine, and cabled on the same cable as the AA wireless works fine too. With the WIFI password provided by AAwireless it connects to wifi, but nothing happens. I also did a hard reset of the configuration of the wireless connections of the phone, and cleared the cache of android auto and google play as recommended quite a few times.

I tried the following, as recommended by AAwireless:

have the "wireless Android Auto" enabled in the Android Auto settings.

-Was already enabled

Also enable "add wireless projection to settings" from Android Auto developer settings(you can access it by tapping the version of AA 10 times, after that tap the 3 dots in the top-right corner and you should see "developer settings".

- Done

Also please have no active VPN and one user profile on the phone.

- No issues here, no vpn and 1 user

AND be sure in AA settings in the "previously connected cars" to have enabled "Add new cars to Android Auto".

-Was already enabled

enable "request video focus on startup" from android auto developer settings.

-Can't find this setting on this version

I also tried different ways of connecting (pass-through, direct, etc), but since it works fine with the other phone, and worked fine on this phone (and I tried them all) I am quite sure it was set right in the first beginning.

Can you please help me? The old phone is dieing, so otherwise the AAwireless will be an expensive car ornament soon.

@coldblood:

DId you read this?

It's on top of the page.
[Android Auto General] CoIdBIood:
Hi Area51!

Thank you for your fast response.

I read that message indeed, but since my issue is a different one (not connecting at all with bt), although on the same phone, I hoped there might be a safer solution than installing a costum rom on my brand new phone that might solve the issue. If someone had the same issue and is sure this works for this issue too, I would be more pushed to try, but I am a bit scared of bricking my phone over a luxury thing like a wireless AA connection.
[Android Auto General] Area51©:
Maybe just a general thing to try:

- Remove BT pairing for the AAWireless device

- Reboot your phone

- Pair BT again

- and also: from https://cpeb.freshdesk.com/support/...561600-cannot-connect-bluetooth-to-aawireless:

If trying to manually pair the Bluetooth to AAWireless keeps failing, please try to turn off the "Contact sharing" for the AAWireless device under the phone Bluetooth Settings.

If that still fails then I don't know. I certainly don't think I know better than support what to do.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
Would add also to check AAWireless device firmware version. If it is 1.7.0 downgrade to 1.5. or upgrade to 1.7.1. Mine is working great with 1.7.1.
[Android Auto General] CoIdBIood:
Thank you both. I tried removing//rebooting, even tried a hard reset of both devices.

About the upgrading, the weird part is it was 1.7.1, but when I pushed update in the config app, it downgraded to 1.5. I will try that again next time when I am in my car, but last time it said it was up to date with 1.5.
[Android Auto General] fvlaicu:
Here's my weird story:

I ordered two devices, the first one I opened up and used with my car (a 2021 Hyundai Tucson with a 10" display).

I upgraded that from 1.70 to 1.71 and everything seemed ok. However it wasn't, the head unit would say that the phone disconnected and told me use a proper cable. After resetting the AAWireless dongle or sending the debugging logs from the app, the connectivity would be restored (I assume that collecting the logs restarts the software on the dongle).

I've opened up a support request and I was told to switch to 2.4 Ghz, I tried that with no luck.

I opened the other device and plugged it in today, I didn't upgrade it to 1.71, I didn't switch to 2.4 Ghz. It just worked - I had about an hour drive with no interruptions.

LE: It seems that the other device behaves similarly - the head unit disconnects the dongle.
[Android Auto General] George234:
Hi, just following up my previous post and wondering if anyone has found a way to get the batch 1 working with Mazda CX-5 2016 KE series.

I've gone through all the troubleshooting with support, tried the suggested upgrade to the head unit under FAQ and sent debug.

I'm still waiting for a replacement unit according to the support email, but wasn't given any timeline on when that would happen.
[Android Auto General] orangeyes:
Hi Could you please share the settings?

I have a Vitara LY 2017 with the headunit update to the latest 1880 version.

My AAwireless blinks blue and my Poco F3 is "Looking for Android Auto". With the same cable the Android Auto works fine.

My AAwireless unit is now on 1.7.1 and I have tried all combinations of USB mode and Passthrought.

UPDATE: AAWireless seems to be very USB cable sensitive. I took the chance a tested a USB-A to USB-C from a hard drive that I own and it connected immediately to my car.

I will test the long term functionality but after 2 short drives my Poco F3 connects under 30seconds and works smoothly.

I tried 2 cables before that and while they were working fine with wired Android auto when connected to AAWs it was getting blue blinking light.
[Android Auto General] Dion.Dube:
I have a 2017 Camaro and have no issues with AAWireless. I am running firmware 1.7.1 on a Pixel 5 phone using Android 12 (also worked with Android 11). I find forcing it to 2.4Ghz works better for me. Generally it is rock solid.
[Android Auto General] Kovi2503:
Hello,

Phone : Samsung Galaxy S10 Android 11

Car : Renault Clio 5

I'm having a lot of issues with AAwireless. Everytime I drove, at least one time, the device will either disconnect then reconnect, or freeze (Google Maps/Waze, music stream, android auto and car touch will freeze and not respond) while phone will be fine.

Only solution to disconnect the wifi on the phone and reconnect or the device itself.

This is so frustrating because it is dangerous while driving.

Support is telling me to ship the device back, was hoping for a fix.

Anyone experienced that problem ?

Thank you in advance.
[Android Auto General] javaskriptr:
I have the same issue and it seems to happen at the same stoplight on my commute, and the same street returning home - leading me to believe every 20mins or so it is crashing. Same phone, and similar issues. I have a Pixel 6 Pro coming next week though so maybe I can narrow down a device vs hardware issue.
[Android Auto General] allmusicmyne:
Leroy,

can you help with settings for phone as this is what AAWireless is telling me is wrong. I have a Samsung S21Pro and I have tried everything - all pass through options - new cable - force wireless and yes turned on projection in every conceivable place including developer mode. The problem is i get zero projection to head unit. Android Auto connects to head unit because as soon as AAW boots up I get the standard accept button on head unit and nothing - sits there and spins and eventually tells me to connect a cable. I now it workng on the back end because i have auto play on connect checked off in settings and my music starts playing but cannot get Android Auto to come up on head unit. I have a 2020 GMC Sierra. Cusotmer Support has been okay but now they say their device is working and its a setting on the phone. Any ideas would be great. L
[Android Auto General] kingpong:
I have a similar issue but as strange as it sounds, I feel like it is location based. I can drive for an hour without issues but there are 3 locations where, no matter how long I've been driving, aawireless will reboot every time. I'm always listening to something (Spotify or Google podcasts, sometimes Amazon music) and maps of course is always running. I'm wondering if the map data is particularly heavy in these spots and, with music playing, it overloads and causes a reboot.
