[Android Auto General] STR-666:
Hmm.... Got mine this week. - and it's working - sort of....

- Hyundai Ioniq electric 2017

- SG 21 Ultra

I have connected the device and tried connecting my phone via the companion App. the App cannot seem to find the device. However: I can see the BT and the Wifi devices of the AAWireless device broadcasting.

Now here comes the interesting part. Somehow, the car finds the AAWireless bridge (although the App says its not connected). AA works wirelessly.

Tried resetting the AAW device, tried all kinds of scenarios with initiating connection before adding power and vice versa. Nothing seems to solve my issue.

This means that AAW is _sort of_ working but I cannot configure/update it.

Also: anytime I get close to the car, my phone starts android auto. It seems like i'm 50% linked - the bridge is activated but the app does not realize this.

What else can I do? Is there a page with an overview that does not require reading 20000 messages? Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Most likely AAWireless does not reboot, but restarts the process because the WiFi or USB side disconnects.

We will add WiFi client mode in the future. We didn't add it till now, cause we first want to have a stable base. WiFi client mode will possibly cause issues. We already have enough issues to deal with with 4000+ different HU's :) I don't really feel like adding another factor of complexity at this point.

Kia/Honor problems.

Connection is sluggish. Spotify not always showing album art. Wifi connection does not have internet connection.

wifi+ enabled and tried to forgot the wifi connection without help.

Edit:

Maybe got it to work. Have to test tomorrow.
[Android Auto General] codetracer:
Understand completely about getting things stable. Just don't hold to much on things. Maybe a first step could be to give configuration "file" access (edit on own risk of course) and then add UI-support at a later stage.

Anyhow, good news.

Hello all, receive my unit today, and try to setup, but after 20m in both cars i have the app can find the unit and gets stuck on step 3/3. The unit first shows green light for a few seconds and then starts flashing it but after 20m nothing shows on the app, try on both my cars a Ford Mondeo (2016) and a Nissan Leaf (2019) and after 20m the unit not founded by the app, any tip and help??

P.S.

Tried with another cable (2) and the result is the same i get stuck on the 3/3 step of the app, and the app doenst find the unit :( , even after 30m now.
[Android Auto General] Didusieq:
Hi All,

After the investigation why AAW is not working, here is the conclusion:

It looks fine after connecting, but after few minutes it disconnects from my head unit and after around minute, sometimes 30 seconds, it connects again automatically, and so on. Any clues? My car is Opel Astra MY2019 and Galaxy S21 5G.

So:

It looks like it is dropping the connection between AAW and head unit of the car. When loosing the connection, Spotify still plays the music. When connection dropped there was a track A playing, after reconnecting, there was another track from the playlist running.

Someone saw something like this?
[Android Auto General] boggie81:
Received mine a few days ago. Overall I'd say it's working ok, but with some quirks. I've had 3 disconnects in 4 days, with the led remaining solid blue. Car display showed "searching for android auto" or sth like that. After about a minute it reconnected by itself. Tried different cable that I was using for wired AA but still had 1 disconnect. I'm going to try passthrough next or maybe I should try a different USB mode. Although it keeps being mentioned that overheating shouldn't be an issue, I do notice that whenever this happens the device is literally too hot to touch.

Another issue that I had to to circumvent was prioritizing which bluetooth device handles phone calls. It seems that the problem is the overall interaction with my wear os watch (fossil gen 5) because most of the times when I tried using the phone it would not go through the car speakers but through the phone itself, and I couldn't even manually switch to car audio. Once I disabled the watch's ability to answer calls, it all seems to work ok now. While using wired AA this wasn't a problem.

[Android Auto General] .michal:
Car: Volvo S60 '19

Phone: Samsung s21

AAWireless version: 1.5.0

AA version 6.6

I had some nasty bugs with disconnecting and choppy playback when Android Auto app was "minimalized" in my car. When I changed AA to fuel consumption or messages app I still heard music but it started to lag, when I went back, a video was also very laggy. It looks like buffer overflow or something like that.

I resolved a disconnecting problem with another USB cable from OnePlus. Then I changed USB mode to MTP with force something, don't remember right now. After that lag disappeared and playback works just as it should, also activated force video mode, but I believe that it was not a solution for this problem.

EDIT: None of those fixes worked :D The proper solution for Samsung was installing Samsung Good Guardians and optimize apps. Now everything works flawlessly :D
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Too hot too touch without being in the sun / hot car is certainly not right. It can get warm, but hot certainly not. Please contact support at https://cpeb.freshdesk.com . Android Auto Wireless + smartwatches and some phones is indeed an issue, stupidly enough it seems like the Pixel phones have the most problems with not routing the phone call audio correctly. We have to investigate if this is an issue we can fix or it's a general Android Auto Wireless issue.
[Android Auto General] Notor1ouS-:
where can i find the changelog for firmware updates? on the first post in here, theres no link at least.

currently on 1.4 Firmware and no dropouts (Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite). not sure if i should update.

My AAW suddenly stopped working this week. It had been working fairly well, but stopped a couple of days ago. I hadn't had time to troubleshoot until today. It just kept blinking green, and never got further. I was able to connect to bluetooth and update to 1.5.0. Still kept blinking green after that. I tried to do a reset and clear everything, but I'm not sure if it worked. Nothing happens when I do the reset. It keeps blinking green no matter how long I hold it or if I let go. There is no pause or stop in the blinking after I let go of the reset button.

Now, I can't connect via bluetooth. It just says couldn't connect. I can still get into the setting page in the app and make changes, but everytime I go the the settings page in the app, it says bluetooth couldn't connect. I reset everything, deleted the app, unpaired the bluetooth, restarted the phone. Nothing seems to work to get it past blinking green.

Any thoughts?
[Android Auto General] taboo85:
oh ok cool! thanks for the response.

I guess i'll just wait for @Snirpo. Having this feature will make this unit absolutely PERFECT.

Thanks again
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
I noticed that i couldn't reset the aawireless unit with the push-button if it was blinking green, i had to make a connection with blue led, than the push-button resetted the unit.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Please reset the device by holding the button for 5-6 seconds and release. And then re-pair via Bluetooth settings on the phone. We're investigating this issue but haven't been able to reproduce it yet.
[Android Auto General] siuengr:
That's the problem, it doesn't seem to reset. I have tried several times holding it for 5-6 seconds, and it just keeps blinking green. I have unpaired it from my phone and tried to re-pair it, but it won't pair anymore. It just says "couldn't connect." I tried to reset several more time and it still doesn't seem to reset. One time out of 7-8 tries the LED went off when trying to reset and never came back on. Once when trying to pair the led turned red, then went back to flashing green. I tried on multiple phones, and both say couldn't connect on bluethooth.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sounds like a defective one. Can I have your device name to check the batch it's from? (AAWireless-xxxxx)
[Android Auto General] Nudnik_de:
I had simmilar problem. 2 days ago AAwireless stopped working after 3 months w/o any issues. Did update, reset, etc but didn't help. Then tried to connect smartphone with cable, didn't work either. Used a different cable and then worked, both USB and wifi.

I then took the old cable and made sure it sits tight in and worked again. It seems to be possible that the connection got loose over time. We have seen some reports on cable and plug issues beeing reported on the first pages of this thread.

In case AAWireless not working any more make sure cable connection is not the issue.
[Android Auto General] siuengr:
Thanks, I have tried several different cables.
[Android Auto General] siuengr:
I spent another couple hours troubleshooting tonight. I think I got it to reset finally and got it connected to another phone, and S20, and got it to launch AA in my car once. After restarting it wouldn't launch again, just stuck flashing blue. I reset and went back to my S21. I didn't get anywhere until I uninstalled Android Auto, then I got it to connect again to the point where it is flashing blue, but it stuck there, looking for Android Auto. I default, direct, MTP, Passthrough, and forced 2.4.
[Android Auto General] benhur06:
I had connection problem too with the AAwireless box and a short USB type C cable. The usb socket on the box did not allow the connector to be fully inserted. I fixed the problem by widening the cutout for the usb connector.

USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 from here: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002358689687.html
[Android Auto General] George234:
That's interesting, how do you know it wasn't fully inserted? I'm wondering if it is my problem too. I have been able to get power to my unit but the head unit doesn't start AA. The cable seems to become unplugged with little effort.
[Android Auto General] matt77303:
Hi

Seem to have a problem with with my aawireless, had no problems and its been working 100% for over a month.

But recently it been disconnecting from my sync3 unit then 30 seconds or so it reconnects. The phone shows that its still connected to AA.

When the disconnect happens the light on the AAwireless box goes green, then starts flashing green then when it reconnects it goes blue.

Yesterday it didnt do it once, but today it did it 7 times on a 10 minute drive.

So far i have tried, passthrough and force 2.4 wireless via the aawireless app. master reset on my Sync3 unit and finally in desperation a factory reset on my phone.

I have reported it via the aawireless app and tried the passthrough and 2.4 wireless mode, but now not getting a reply via the 'send question' on the app.

Phone is a stock samsung S10 plus, sync3 unit is fitted to focus ST3 mk3.5.

Any tips would be appricated.

Matt
[Android Auto General] Notor1ouS-:
because some people complain about android auto wireless high power consumption:

i lost 4% only in 25min. Guess my snapdragon 730 is just way better than any high end snapdragon 800 series for that matter.

i was using Spotify + gmaps and gps.

my phone gets barely warm.

for me, I'll never buy a high end cpu in a phone.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Try a different cable? When I've had issues like that suddenly come up I found it was the cable. Especially if it flashes blue, because it does the BT connection wirelessly and when ready wants to talk to your HU, but if the cable is a bit faulty it won't do that part.
[Android Auto General] matzedings:
Okay, I finally got my unit and I've got issues too. Here's what I did:

Unpacked, followed instructions up until pairing - aawireless app never could connect, always getting the "could not pair" error message. Then I tried to upgrade firmware from 1.4 to 1.5 iirc, which seemed to be successful, but did not change the above error. Reinstalling the app or reconnecting the box does not change anything.

When I tried again next day, there was no possibility to retry pairing; aawireless app shows the main menu right away ("settings", "OTE update" and so on). Phone does not connect, box LED blinks in a green heartbeat. I can not manually connect to it's bluetooth (nothing happens), or any wifi. Box is connected with the included USB cable, trying the one I regularly used to connect car with phone does not do the trick either.

Car is a Seat Leon 5F (2017), phone a Pixel 5.

Any idea what to do?
[Android Auto General] RMVC1968:
After a few days and tries i manage to put it to work, but now i can make calls but when receiving calls the sound GOES to phone and not to the car . Its a sync3 on a Ford Mondeo anyone with the same car that manage to put it to work?
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
What phone do you have?

It could be phone/rom issue.

I had same problem with Xiaomi Mi11 with Global rom.

Flashed xiaomi.eu rom and all is OK.
[Android Auto General] RMVC1968:
My phone is a Pixel 5, everything works well except if someone calls me i can accept on AA but the sound goes to phone and not to car speakers :(.

I had some time today and i tried several things, with another phone i have i tried several times call to my other number and only manage to get a few calls that went to cars speakers, but if i turn off car and start again then the income calls sound goes to the speaker of the phone, sometimes if i switch on AA on the bluetooth icon between the 3 possibilities i manage to get the sound coming out the car speakers, but 90% of the time the sound stays on phone speakers. I dont know what to do next some help would be much apreciated, everything else works very well and conection stable, but without being able to receive phone calls ,the box doesnt work for me.
[Android Auto General] succo:
hmmm, yesterday i tried some more settings in the app, and noticed that setting passthrough to on stops the reboots. i used to have custom dpi, which of course i can't have with passthrough, so the display is quite ugly, but no more hangs/reboots. I tried maps, calls and music and nothing seems to stop, now

btw, it's a renault zoe with oneplus 8 pro and aaw 1.5

Can anyone get wireless charging to work ontop of wireless android auto. Phone keeps sayings its overheating and stopping the charge.

Does Waze tend to use more power/heat then gmaps?

I'm experiencing this exact same issue. I've had my dongle for a couple of months now and about 3 weeks ago it was working beautifully, now solid green. Please help. Samsung S10, Audi MMI. I've tried changing cables, resetting multiple times but nothing has gotten me off of solid green.

Hola el 13/07 recibí mi AAWiriless.

Pero por el momento no he podido hacerlo funcionar.

Unidad principal Pioneer AVH X8700BT con Android Auto y Carplay.

Teléfono Xioami MI 11 Miui 12.5.2 con Android 11.

El AAWiriless se conecta bien al teléfono y en solo 15 segundos pero permanece encendido el led azul parpadeando y no pasa la prueba con unos 15 cables diferentes y un oppo find x3 pro y el resultado es el mismo led azul parpadeando y no arranca Android Auto en la unidad principal.

Abrí un ticket al servicio técnico y esta fue su respuesta al problema (desde aquí les agradezco su apoyo y no cerrar el ticket).

Y configuré todo como dicen pero no tengo resultados, siguen parpadeando en azul y Android Auto no se inicia en la Unidad Principal.

Hola Pedrohd16.69,

tenga habilitado el "Android Auto inalámbrico" en la configuración de Android Auto. También habilite "agregar proyección inalámbrica a la configuración" desde la configuración del desarrollador de Android Auto (puede acceder a ella tocando la versión de AA 10 veces, luego toque los 3 puntos en la esquina superior derecha y debería ver "configuración del desarrollador". Por favor, no tenga una VPN activa y un perfil de usuario en el teléfono. Y asegúrese de que en la configuración de AA en los "autos previamente conectados" haya habilitado "Agregar autos nuevos a Android Auto". Habilite "Solicitar enfoque de video en el inicio" del desarrollador de automóviles de Android ajustes.

Además, configure el modo USB como predeterminado.

si eso no funciona, habilite el paso a través.

Después de leer todo el hilo, no puedo encontrar una solución para alguien que le haya sucedido algo similar.

Gracias.
[Android Auto General] boggie81:
Same issue with my P5, but the problem was with my wearOS watch. Apparently P5 is doing a poor job handling bluetooth calls through AA wireless and wear OS watch. My solution was to stop the watch from answering calls. This wasn't an issue with regular wired AA.
[Android Auto General] RMVC1968:
I dont use any era os watch, Thais morning changed everything and still i cant gear sound from incoming calls on car speaker. Tries with another phone Oneplus 8 same result. Dont know what eles to do.
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
Same issue here with Pixel 2XL. Thinking out loud I wonder if having both the Bluetooth profiles for the head unit AND AAW set to allow Phone Calls and Contacts causes a conflict.
[Android Auto General] FrankieG64:
I've had my AAW for several months now and regularly use it with wireless charging without issue. My phone gets a little warm while using Waze but that also occurred when it was wired in.

Samsung S10, 2020 Ram Unconnect.
[Android Auto General] Saison2018:
From posts before, I started a discussion about battery draining and phone not being charged with built-in car wireless charger. I confirm that I also noticed my phone became very hot and charging stop after some time.

My usage is mostly Google Maps and music streaming.
[Android Auto General] RMVC1968:
Yes i do think that too, tried to disconnect the car profile on Bluetooth to have ONLY the AAW but after One second disconnected it automaticaly connects back and cant disable the ícon of phone calls and messages. I hit a wall if no One has a tip i dont know what eles to do.
[Android Auto General] mele80:
I had same issue with my device.... working for couple of days and then nothing.

Not sure if this was the thing that make it work again but, I disconnected my phone from car and connected again. Soon after aawireless started to work again.
[Android Auto General] DerFremde:
Mine doesn't start automatically anymore. It was working fine (perfect since the update) until a few days ago but now I have to manually connect to the bluetooth device to get it to start.

[Android Auto General] seseattle:
Yes, works just fine for me running Waze/Spotify and wireless charging as long as I want to drive. S21 in a Ram 1500 with built in wireless charging.
[Android Auto General] Nudnik_de:
Working for me on S10. Ofcourse it gets warm and it also lasts longer until fully charged
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yup exactly this. Unfortunately we cannot remove the handsfree profile from AAW, cause AA needs it for bootstrap. With a native AA Wireless HU this issue doesn't exist, because car handsfree BT == AA bootstrap BT.

The new start / stop mechanism, which will be released next week will not use Bluetooth at all anymore to bootstrap AA (non-native), this will fix these issues.
[Android Auto General] matzedings:
Okay, I got it to work by doing this:

* Delete wifi + bluetooth AAWireless-*** devices.
* Reset cache + data from Android Auto and the Google Play services (https://www.androidcentral.com/how-and-when-clear-app-cache-or-data-android).
* Reset the AAWireless device by holding the reset button (in the pinhole) for 5-6 seconds and let go, the unit should shut down, restart and go blinking green after about 10 seconds.
* Reboot the phone.
* Manually pair to the device via bluetooth settings on the phone (without the AAWireless companion app). You do not have to setup WiFi, Android Auto will do it automatically.

Now everything works as intended, hope it stays like that.
[Android Auto General] siuengr:
I'll have to try again. I did that and got it to the point of the blinking blue light now, but that is as far as I get. I've tried different USB ports and cables.
[Android Auto General] andreiav:
I have the same issue. It starts ok, then it gets hot and it keeps switching between charging and not charging. On long trips I end up plugging my phone in.

I have an Exynos S10 and I'm using the built-in wireless charger in my Seat.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I used an Exynos S10 for a year and never got the wireless charging working reliably in my car (Kia e-Niro). The phone always got way to hot and just stopped charging, even without running AA. I blamed the car for this back then, but my current OnePlus 8 Pro does not have this issue even with AA running wirelessly. It gets warm / hot-ish, but keeps charging and running AA just fine.

From the reports we get in general Samsung phones are the most problematic with wireless charging + AA wireless. Maybe only the Exynos based ones? Not sure. I can probably extract such data from our database, but never had the time to do that.
[Android Auto General] ioneng:
There are wireless chargers with built-in cooling fans, maybe you guys can try those? I have one that I clip on to the aircon vent and use aircon to keep phone cool in summer.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
My S20+ is Exynos and gets warm just running wirelessly. I don't bother using wireless charging too much in day to day driving as I don't really need the batter, but it's been ok heat wise to do it when I have done it, but it wasn't for overly long. And the not overly long part is why I don't bother taking it out of my pocket in general use.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
One issue I'm having that others don't seem to have talked about is that more often than I'd like everything is pretty much working, but I am unable to hear the Google Assistant? Have I mentioned this before?

So if I ask for a song, I'll get the song, but won't hear anything back about it playing on Youtube Music etc, and if I ask for the weather I won't hear anything, and if I ask to open my garage door I have to watch the screen to see when it's expecting to hear my pin code.
[Android Auto General] nmnikolov:
I can confirm I have also issues with my S21 Exynos version. A few weeks ago I installed Xiaomi Mi Wireless Car Charger, 20W to prepare fo AAW. Last week I received my AAW device and did some long trips. So after 30-90 minutes the phone gets hot and not so resposive. What I mean is when I pick up and unlock my phone it's very unresponsive sliding between screens and opening apps. This also reflects on the Android Auto becomming too laggy. So the music is no more playing smoothly and Waze is responding slowly on my car head unit. This happened even on a long trip without charging the phone. During a long trip of about 300km decided to put the phone in the glove box where I have air conditioner so the phone was very cold during the whole trip and had no issues with AA at all.

The last few days those issues started even on small trips of about 10-20 minutes. After the last software update decided to wipe the phone cache partition but that didn't help. Also I tried different AAW settings without success. Other that that I have no other issues. The connection time is great, when the phone is cold the music is playing without any issues and my car heaunit is very responsive without any delay. My car is Skoda Octavia 2019 MIB 2.5
