I use Coolwalk and this is the Version Android Auto: 9.7.632204-release. I will try to clear all Apps.
[Android Auto General] Cryptage:
@Snirpo

As there are lots of new options, it becomes more and more difficult to translate AAWireless.

Few months ago, you told it will take some time to get an emulator but maybe you should think about it again.

Is there any other option ? Like connect an AAWireless module to a fake unlocked app which would give access to all menus ?

Thanks :)
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi, I have now deleted and reinstalled Waze and Android Auto. Unfortunately, Waze's behavior remains. Which Android Auto version do you have? Best wishes
[Android Auto General] festor:
9.5.631864

Does your waze interact properly with AA coolwalk and use the new layout? Music app to the side and changes to the recent menu etc?
[Android Auto General] Fatjoe307:
Any news on this one @Snirpo?
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi,

Waze uses Coolwalk and it's all good except that the route is terminated when the connection is lost.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything again.... unfortunately the error remains.

I use a Samsung Galaxy s21fe and a VW Discobery Media MIB 2.

Which device do you have?

Greetings
[Android Auto General] festor:
I'm using a POCO F3, all info in my signature.

Are you sure VAG crash fix is enabled in the AAWireless app? I thought you were using a Mi Note 10 Lite and MIUI was to blame for the disconnections.

If it's already enabled, I would try the following:

Set and accept a destination then turn the car off for a few min then back on and see if you get the resume option.

Turn off wifi/bt then switch to a cable and remove/replace the cable briefly to simulate the wireless drop.

If either gives you a resume option, it might be more of a crash/overheating issue than a true disconnection when using the wireless connection. Try enabling or disabling Dongle and Passive modes, even if it's just to test. If it still doesn't resume after trying the steps above, it may be a phone issue. Do you get the resume option outside of Android Auto, just using the app separately? Backup and factory reset?

Maybe someone with a similar setup to you can confirm they get the resume option in waze? Should an S21 be disconnecting regularly?
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi,

I have changed the phone to a Samsung S21 FE. My wife is still using the Xiaomi Redmin Note 10 Pro (which now also has no connection problems). However, the behavior of Waze is the same behavior with my wife and me.

Will perform the suggested tests.

Thanks for your help.
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi,

I have now tested

If I just use the Waze app on my phone and start a route, I can quit Waze and after another start of the app the route just keeps running (it asks if I want to continue the route etc.).

Then I connected the mobile phone to my car via cable, started a route in Waze again and then switched off the car once and switched it on again. The mobile phone was connected to the cable the whole time. Result: Waze forgot the route and I had to enter it again.

So now I think it must be Waze, as Google Maps doesn't cause any problems.

Best regards
[Android Auto General] festor:
At least you have eliminated the wireless connection as an issue. Hopefully not too many disconnections with your Samsung anyway.

Maybe there is a fix/version that works:

[Android Auto General] festor:
So after nearly 2 years, Xiaomi have finally fixed the data/wifi drop issue on my POCO F3 - MIUI 14.0.9.0 TKHEUXM (EEA).

I didn't hold much hope when I took the (typically pathetic) quarterly update this morning as it was just a security patch and "Increased system security" but it has definitely fixed the problem.

Disabling mobile data and/or changing the preferred network no longer disconnects AA. I notice in poor signal areas, any streaming audio just cuts out now, but AA stays connected and the audio restarts automatically a few sec later. Connection was rock solid today after an extended drive through areas previously guaranteed to drop out.

This affected most Xiaomi handsets that ran MIUI 13/A12 at some point, but was never officially acknowledged or added to any bug trackers. They couldn't even let people know they fixed it with recent updates. I've bought 3 previous Xiaomi handsets, never again.

Some hope for other users that still have the issue and are due to get an update.
[Android Auto General] Cryptage:
@festor Really good news. I have a Poco F3 too.

I've just updated. I'll have a look in the next few days.

Good morning, is there a chance that aawireless will also support carplay?
[Android Auto General] saaif88:
Hey everyone,

I'm really trying to find a solution to this but I can't find it anywhere so hopefully I can get some help here. I have one of those Road Top Android Auto screens and it works great... except that the call audio quality is absolute garbage.

My car (Acura) has built in bluetooth designed to handle calls and it sounds great and works perfect. The problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to route the audio *only* through the car and NOT through the Android Auto screen. I can pair both devices at the same time, but calls are always handled by the Android Auto headunit, which is not what I want. I can't find a way to switch which bluetooth device takes priority, so I cannot use my car's audio, even though it is connected. It is always overridden by the headunit.

I purchased this AAwireless dongle specifically for the "Disable Media Sink" functionality, but it does not seem to accomplish anything. Even with Disable Media Sink and Disable TTS sink enabled, the native bluetooth of the Android Auto headunit still autoconnects and takes priority. Of course, no audio is heard, but Android Auto is still routing phone calls through it.

Is there a way to get this working? Is it possible to just disable the automatic bluetooth connection between the phone and headunit? I have even tried to find a way to block it as a bluetooth device but I could not. Any help would be really greatly appreciated!
[Android Auto General] matthewkbridges:
Any chance that I can get the anti-stutter firmware? My device ID is AAW884fbb05.

Thanks,

Matt
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Disable media sink and TTS sink is only for audio which is routed through wifi/usb. Handsfree audio is routed through bluetooth. It might work if we completely remove the bluetooth channel. on most factory head units this is not possible, but it might work on an aftermarket head unit. I can play around with it. Please join us in Slack at https://join.slack.com/t/aawireless/shared_invite/zt-1xs1niz3k-I8gSgi9D2iCGVv89j96NGQ for easier comms.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes we are working on it. Firmware version 3.0 with beta CarPlay functionality will be rolled out in the next few weeks.

Enabled
[Android Auto General] mata77:

[Android Auto General] matthewkbridges:
Just went out for a test drive with my anti-stutter firmware, it worked great! Only one skip the entire time. Thanks so much!
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
This is great news, thanks for confirming that Festor. My Poco F3 is updating as I type.
[Android Auto General] Cryptage:
Yes... but no. :(

My Poco F3 has 14.0.9.0 version and I clearly still have the same problem. It's absolutely not solved.

My car is using a PSA NAC V2 but I'm not sure it changes anything.

@festor : which baseband version do you have ? Just to be sure...

MIne is "2.5.c1-gl-21664.3-0505_1150_4da4005ddd". I've checked and it's the version number in modem.img of 14.0.9.0 firmware. So it has been updated, Yours should be the same.
[Android Auto General] festor:
Looks the same, see attached.

Do a search in Settings for "Smart Network Acceleration" and make sure it's switched off. It's not nested in any other settings, you have to search for it.

Also, have you tested manually disabling data and changing preferred network, or do you mean you still get disconnections?
[Android Auto General] Cryptage:
Network acceleration is unfortunately already off :(.

I frequently lose access to Android Auto when I drive (probably when the phone loses network). I have to relaunch it and worse than before I even have to choose the destination again systematically.

I'll try to disable data or to change preferred network to see.
[Android Auto General] festor:
I previously had 2 types of disconnections. 3 if you include VW head unit crashes early on.

Since enabling VAG crash fix and changing to a high 5ghz channel I pretty much eliminated the crashes and interference based disconnections. I was just left with the Xiaomi issue. With this issue, AA auto reconnected for me though.

Whenever the data signal was lost, wifi also dropped out, which then disconnected AA. This was fixed (for me) with the recent update. It's very easy to test. Connect to AA then switch off data manually then back on. If it doesn't disconnect AA it has been fixed for you too.

You might still be getting interference or crash based disconnections though.
[Android Auto General] Cryptage:
I've just seen that AA app has disconnection issues too.

I'll check if the problem is the phone or AA with network loss.

A 9.8 version has been recently released and would correct the problem but it's not available yet on my PlayStore.

Edit : looks like it's a beta version and beta access is full. Have to wait.

Edit 2 : there's a non-beta release 9.8.6324 but not available at the moment.
[Android Auto General] acme anvil:
You could download thru apkmirror.
[Android Auto General] Cryptage:
I'll try with 9.6 and if the problem is not the phone but AA I'll upgrade to 9.8 via apkmirror.

If this bug could be solved once and for all it would be very cool.

With MIUI 12.5 it was working perfectly.
[Android Auto General] festor:
If you test the Xiaomi data/wifi issue and it does disconnect, it might be worth backing up and factory restoring the phone. Especially if you jumped from 12.5 to 14.0.9.
[Android Auto General] IwaseKen:
I bought AAWireless when it's available in Indiegogo. Can that version run Carplay function when updated to firmware 3.0?

And what is differences between Indiegogo ver and Amazon ver? I cannot find detail specifications on your website
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi,

what happens to you when you use a running route in Android Auto via Waze and then briefly deactivate the WLAN on the mobile phone and activate it again?

For me, the aawireless connection is logically gone for a short time, but comes back on its own. It's just that Waze has forgotten the route. Maps simply resumes the route.

Best wishes
[Android Auto General] festor:
I just tried exactly what you suggest and apart from my wifi turning back on by itself after a few sec, I get the same result. AA disconnects then reconnects and the waze route does not resume or give me the option to resume.

Things have changed since you posted though. I took a MIUI update that fixed the disconnections I was getting and waze updated to 4.9.5.1.0. I cannot recreate the previous disconnections now (disabling data) because of the MIUI update so I don't know if there is something different with them or if it's the waze update.

How many disconnections are you getting? Maybe there is something that can be done about them? I haven't had a disconnection since the update on Wednesday so waze forgetting a route isn't an issue now.
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi,

I think about 1 disconnection in 30 km
[Android Auto General] festor:
That doesn't sound too bad, but if your wife's phone has no disconnections (in the same locations) it might be a weaker antenna due to a third-party screen repair or case damage? Do you both use the same place to store the phone while driving and have the same mobile service provider?
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Unfortunately, my wife also has the disconnections. So far, however, no specific location can be identified where it is happening. I have already tried many different upper WLAN channels and different cables for the aawireless. Basically, I can live with the short interruptions, only Waze is a bit annoying.

I'm just hoping for some kind of update (from Waze or Android Auto) that will fix this.
[Android Auto General] Cryptage:
@festor : you were right, the phone no longer disconnects when it loses data.

On the other hand Android Auto still loses the connection, even with 9.8 version.

It took months to get a fix from Xiaomi and now that's Android Auto which screws up...

Exhausting...
[Android Auto General] festor:
@huppejue sorry, I misunderstood your previous post. I thought your wife has no connection problems, but I think you just meant no MIUI disconnections now.

I don't know how much of a difference it made (if any) but I lined the inside of my AAWireless with copper tape well over a year ago. A few users on the forum mentioned it helped with general interference disconnections when they wrapped the dongle in a foil crisp (chip) packet. Easy to test.

I also mounted the unit in a fixed position with velcro and use a short, high quality cable.

@Cryptage good news the MIUI issue is fixed at least. If this other issue only started recently, grab an older version of AA that predates the problem:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/

If you still get the issue, it might also be interference or movement/cable related.
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
@festor Do you know, wich Cable you use?

[Android Auto General] welshblob:
Mostly good news from a Poco F3 user based on Festor's prompt that the disconnection issue has been fixed.

1. Upgraded to MIUI 14.0.9.0(TKHEUXM) with AA wireless 3.23.0 and dongle firmware 2.0.2 (I see 2.1.0 and will update to that later). Smart Network Acceleration was turned off by default on mine.

2. Short ~ 10 min journey, I had one drop out and reconnection which was a bit of a concern. This wasn't in an area I'm used to so not sure the drop outs occurred there before.

3. Long ~ 3 hrs journey. I had one drop out very early in that journey at exactly the same place it did in 2. Was concerned again that it was still an issue. However the rest of this journey I did not see any more dropouts! This includes an area very near my house where it always used to drop out.

4. Disabling mobile data - First attempt turning off mobile data the AA wireless connection didn't drop out. However when I turned it back on something went a bit weird and it did drop out. However I repeated the test and it was fine the second time so I think I'll do some more testing on this.

Overall I think whatever Xiaomi have done has fixed it. Will keep an eye on it though.

Thanks for everyones help on this and will now recommend AAwireless to my Auntie who has just got a new Ford Kuga which doesn't have wireless AA by default!

Need to update my footer!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
At this point, Indiegogo devices won't have CarPlay support unfortunately. However these devices will get 3.0 as well, minus CarPlay. Main difference between the V1 and V2 devices is the SoC (Rockchip RK3308 vs RV1109).
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Thx
[Android Auto General] festor:
I've had my first disconnection earlier today since the update a week ago. 5 or 6 trips ranging from 30 min to 3 hours of driving. Just for the novelty of it, I have been switching data off/on several times during each drive over the past week without incident so I'm convinced my disconnection was unrelated to the Xiaomi issue. I now leave the phone in my pocket. Previously this increased the disconnections in bad signal areas. Now it just cuts streamed audio briefly... a brand-new issue that I'm almost happy about because it would have been a full disconnection previously.

I pulled up behind a van in a queue of traffic and AA disconnected then reconnected. Maybe another wifi signal was too strong, maybe it was a the nearby BT exchange or maybe it was a head unit crash. I went from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0 so can't comment on 2.0.2. I did have a few phone reboots while on 2.0.1 but who knows if it was related. There are so many different factors at play, it's impossible confirm.

Either way, it's been the best performance (by far) that I've had from AAW and now I'm at the point of changing my car :ROFLMAO:
[Android Auto General] elbubi:
Hi @Snirpo!

Two questions about this knews:

1) I have a late badge from Indiegogo which is V2 if I'm not mistaken (AAW0BFP6Oba). Will this unit get CP support or only units sold through Amazon will do?

2) Have you by chance been able to try if AA over CP protocol solves NAC3 audio stutter issues?

Regards and thanks in advance!
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
Sounds like you're having similar experience to me. I was out again today for about an hour and no disconnections. It's like back to that time where aa wireless worked perfectly for a couple of months before Xiaomi screwed it all up! Finally I can get the benefit of the dongle.
[Android Auto General] DroidShift79:
Could one explain me the two widgets that come with the app?

I thought for example the phone override would instantly cut the aa connection and I can use the phone. But right after tapping it, as shuts down, but instantly it connects again.
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
The phone override forces a connection to that particular phone if multiple phones are paired to the AAW device.

Hello @Snirpo ,

I am thinking about buying a new phone, and I would like it to be working good with aawireless and android auto. I am undecided between Nothing phone 1 and Pixel 7. Nothing phone would be my priority pick because less expensive, but can you tell me how these two phones fares with aawireless ?

Hi everyone I have issues with AA call goes through speaker phone instead of unit . I notice this because bluetooth disconnected everytime AA runs. But if only not running AA My bluetooth calls just fine no issues.

Anyone has solution? Like setting

[Android Auto General] cristi_b:
@Cipcino81 in this case you can buy Pixel 7. I have one and I haven't had any disconnection so far. The car is VW Golf 7.5 with MIB 2.5
[Android Auto General] Cipcino81:
Thank you for your answer Cristi, but I have a pioneer avh-z9200 unit and I would like to have also @Snirpo answer, because I think he surely tested this combination.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
There is no solid answer. Pixel phones in general are fine. Most head units in general are fine. Aftermarket head units in general are better. Unfortunately AA is still a bit like a randomizer. Some people will have the weirdest unexplainable issues, while others have no issues at all.

I have a Pixel 7 Pro + multiple head units myself and one of our testers has a Nothing Phone + VW TechniSat. Those combinations both work fine.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Dongle mode should be the solution

[Android Auto General] Cthulhu1986:
Hi everyone.

I have been experiencing disconnections/reconnections (light on aawireless flickers green then straight back to solid blue) and frequent sound stuttering (1 second without sound roughly once per minute)

These problems seem to have appeared since yesterday or the day before.

The most notable difference between last week and this week was a phone update, Samsung s23.

I am subscribed to the Android auto beta program too.

If I connect by cable the issue doesn't seem present, and the stuttering sound only reoccurs after the 1st disconnection.

Has anyone else noticed issues with a similar configuration since last weekend?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you share the name of the device?
[Android Auto General] Cthulhu1986:
Hi.

By device name do you mean Id?

If so, here it is. AAWe56deda6
[Android Auto General] shady5683:
Hi @Snirpo

Can i be added to the test firmware.

device: AAWe1fa31d9
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah so it seems your phone had an update on exactly the same day (27th) AA updated from 9.8 to 9.9. The phone update was earlier though. We have a tester who's experiencing similar issues since his Pixel 6 broke and he switched to a S23. I enabled a custom fw for you, van you check if this at least fixes the audio skipping every minute?
[Android Auto General] Cthulhu1986:
Ok, thanks.

I will check and give feedback shortly.

If you think it could help, I have no issue in leaving the AA beta program and returning to public build.
[Android Auto General] Cthulhu1986:
1st feedback

30mins drive no stuttering and 0 disconnections.

I'll leave more feedback later.
[Android Auto General] Cthulhu1986:
2nd Feedback.

2nd drive roughly 30mins.

No stuttering, however I had around 7 disconnections.

I'm pretty sure it happens when changing network type (drop outs, 5g to LTE or 3g etc.)

But couldn't confirm this.

Manually disabling mobile data did not cause an issue to occur.

Maybe heat related? It was roughly 20c this morning and 30ish in sun this afternoon (Doesn't explain why I had no issues last week cause heat was the same or higher)

Any ideas?

Could rolling back AA help?

Hi guys

I've been using my AAWireless successfully in my M-B GLC for quite a while.

Have recently bought a new KIA EV6 and run the AAWireless in that without changing any of the settings, and it works, but on longer drives I get stuttering audio that seems to lead to a reboot of the AAWireless device.

Is there some explanation for this reliability issue in the EV6? Would changing the settings I used in the MB improve it?
