Pixel 3 (2 of them) / Samsung A32 5G

Kia Telluride

Overall this is amazing innovation, but sadly it's not very useful for me right now. I'm not sure if it's this specific product or AA in general.

I have two major issues:

1. It disconnects A LOT. This also happens when I'm connecting my phone directly to the car. I thought this device would help but it doesn't. It usually disconnects and gets into this limbo where it keeps switching fast between "reading USB" and "phone is not responding". Other times it just disconnects and sometimes recover after a few minutes and sometimes I have to restart it.

This is definitely the main issue.

2. When it DOES work, and I'm playing Spotify the audio cuts a lot, about every min or so. This is unique to this product and doesn't happen when I directly connect the phone.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
You might want to see if you can fix the disconnects when you are cabled, that would ideally need to work before you could expect a stable wireless connection. Have you spoken to your dealer about it?
[Android Auto General] xmas2:
Samsung S10E + Peugeot 5008

similar issues....

unit either restarts or looses wifi connection - not sure which actually happens - it happens at about 10-20 minutes if usage

and music has hiccups... even worse when you play music and use voice guidance in Waze...

tried all various settings in the app - nothing helps...
[Android Auto General] don_alberto:
Right, I just thought it might be a problem with my phone's hardware or something but this proves that it's not.

I went to the deal and he just made up that they have a problem with pixel 3. He's not very technical. He just tried to get me off his back.

This is how it looks like btw:

Same car - is calling someone working for you? If I try to call someone with Android auto connected, the calling screen just hangs on the head unit.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Yes, your issue can't be solved with the AAW unit as it connects into the same USB as your phone and if your headunit doesn't like your phone it won't like it any better with AAW for the most part.

Have you ever tried another phone in your car?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Actually, if you get that same issue with the AAW, using the supplied cable it's probably going to be the same for any phone, your car in particular may be faulty, and how can he say they have a problem with the Pixel, it's the Google phone and definitely should work in the car. Are other people with that car having the same issue? I see you have tried it on a Samsung as well as two different Pixels. This is a problem for your dealer to sort out.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes most likely the steering wheel buttons not working is a side effect. We have an open issue for this. https://github.com/Snirpo/aawireless-issues/issues/37 . I have to find some time to look into it. I'm delegating the work on the new board to an external party right now to have some more time for issues.

This seems like a big bug in the HU. Almost seems like the same software as my Kia Niro though. I have zero issues at all. Kia/Hyundai have one of the best (least buggy) implementations of AA there is. You can throw everything at it, and it will just work (normally).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Which version of the firmware do you have?
[Android Auto General] xmas2:
1.3.0

same was with previous version
[Android Auto General] Rusmash:
Google pixel 3a /Peugeot 3008

Exactly the same problem. Makes useless at the moment.
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
I can confirm that it works in my wife's Camaro with the low end IOR radio (no HD radio, no nav, no satellite radio) as well. Sounds like it is something specific to the IOT head unit.
[Android Auto General] xdcowboysx:
Still no luck. I have a 2020 GMC Sierra and audio will connect but no video. The Android Auto button is grayed out. When I press the Android Auto button it gets this message. Anybody else having this issue? Or have a solution?
[Android Auto General] xmas2:
So at least problem is not with my phone :)

And seems that unit itself is not faulty..or we both have faulty ones...

So seems like some sw issue or total incompatibility with our car ((

Damn, i hoped so much that i would get rid of those cables
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If passthrough mode also gives the same issue it has most probably something to to with latency introduced / jitter by WiFi and the car not being able to handle this.

These things are solved by trial and erroring until the source of the issue is found.

The VW bug was the same thing. Its litterally a bug in the HU. We have one tester who also had the HU crash with the phone connected wired. Latency apparently worsened the problem. Now with our workaround, the HU does not crash anymore.

I'm pretty sure we can fix (or work around) these issues, but we have to find out why these things happen. It costs time sadly :(

Luckily we have a great community of people who can help us fix it :)

I just got working AAWireless in my MY20 Holden Astra!! I tried sending a couple of logs (id: rT77pJHT)

I have no idea what really changed - for some reason - today, I changed from MTP to Direct (Noting I'd tried this previously with no success), and I got AA video output for the first time ever in this car. Not only that, I disconnected 3 or 4 times, and got re-connected each time!

This radio should be quite similar to your MY20 GMC Sierra - try changing the USB mode to Direct - I also have (from AAWireless Developer settings) 'Auto Video Focus' enabled, as well as in the AA Developer settings 'Request video focus on start' - when I get a chance, I'll try removing these settings at some point to see if it still works.

I'll also try Direct mode (again) in the Commodore and see if it improves the reliability of the connection.
[Android Auto General] olegd:
Yesterday, AA couple of times reported that GPS is lost. I tried passthrough - the same. if I open the navigation application on my phone at the same time it works correctly. Which GPS is used by the AAWireless?
[Android Auto General] flroots:
I'm considering the purchase of AAwireless for use with my 2020 Niro PHEV and Moto G Stylus 2020 running Android 10. It sounds like you have a very similar setup. Can you tell me is there are any issues I should be aware of using the above described setup? Thanks
[Android Auto General] charlie.busher:
Same for me. I can now connect with my 2020 GMC Sierra IOT radio. The only thing I did different was I un-paired my phone from my truck and re-paired to it. then plugged the AA wireless unit in and it connected first try. This morning when I went to work it connected fine and seems to be working good. I am also in Direct UPB mode.

I have the same truck and had the same issue with my phone connecting but a grayed out button on the screen. I tried all kinds of settings and could not get it to connect. Last night I tried one thing that seemed to work. I un-paired my phone from the truck and turned it off. Came back after 10 minutes and re-paired. Then I plugged the AA wireless unit in and it connected. So now it works. I do have it on USB Direct mode with passthrough.

On a side note, my friend has a 2020 Chevy, the only difference is her radio does not have NAV its the IOR radio. Mine is the IOT with NAV. I plugged AA wireless into her truck and it connected the first time. So I was thinking its a connection problem with the IOT radio.

Try to un-pair your phone and see if that helps you out.

Today I tried the other car (Mercedes E-class) and it works wonderfully. So it's my Peugeot. Then I have to switch back to cable first
[Android Auto General] AussieMarky:
Can you help me please? I tried a C2PlayAir but it wouldnt't work. I'm very interested in this AAWireless Product

Is this a plug an play product?

Is it ready for purchase?

Will it work on a 2021 Mazda CX5 and a 2021 Hyundai I30 N Series with a 10.25" screen as a plug and play??

I ask because, in brief

I'm in Australia

Couldn't load the .APX interface onto either car to get C2PlayAir to work.

The backdoor IP address could not be accessed from Australia, I tried 3 different browsers and 3 different phones

Sent it back for a full refund

If this works, there is a tech program on radio in Australia, he mentioned this product but had no experience with it, I was asked by the presenter to come back on and tell him if it works as he believes listeners all over Australia are looking for a working wireless AA product especially if it is plug and play?? Sorry if this question has been asked before.

What can you tell me????

Thanks

Mark
[Android Auto General] AussieMarky:
Hi guys and girls I'm from Australia and interested in seeing if the AAWireless Product is truly plug and play and will work on my 2021 Hyundai I30 and 2021 Mazda CX5. Tried the C2PlayAir but wont work on either of these 2 vehicles as the interface file wont load on to the vehicle head units and the backdoor IP address, you cant access from Australia. Semt back for full refund. If anybody has any info on where AAWireless are at, issue, models it works with? would appreciate it. Thx Mark

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Same as wired. But be sure to not have the tap restriction option turned on, that can mess up the GPS.
[Android Auto General] olegd:
Yea, I've already re-read the whole thread an found that this option can puzzle GPS, but this is not the case -- l have it disabled (by default).

So I'm wondering if there are any other ideas? Or may be again logs could be helpful.
[Android Auto General] flroots:
I just ordered my AAwireless and hope to use it with 2020 Niro PHEV LXS and rooted Moto G Stylus (Android10). Has anyone used AAwireless with this phone or car? Thanks
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Why do you keep saying you're from Australia? I'm from Australia. i would say there a few of these in Australia, with many more waiting.

Have big read of this thread, it's plug and play and it also isn't as there are so many variants of phone AND car and some phones just won't work too well, mainly with keeping a data connection when using a wi-fi point. As a user of this device you may need to do and try a few things to get it going, but it's still early days.

Also, C2Play is for iPhone, so whatever is going on with that an IP addresses etc is not relevant at all.
[Android Auto General] AussieMarky:
Cplay2air is also for android as there is an android versions available.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
This doesn't make any sense.

CARPLAY2air wireless adapter for Android Head Units features:​

Wireless CarPlay for iPhone devices

Auto-connects when the vehicle is started

Android Auto via cable

Mirror-link via cable

Why would you buy a device to use a cable when that's what you already do? AAW is the only wireless device for Android Auto. You would only buy a Carplay2air for an iPhone, which I may do for my daughter when she's driving, but I'd get the one from VW Central where you can swap the cable.
[Android Auto General] AussieMarky:
Cplay2air do android wireless!!!
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Back to normal stuff, have any of my logs helped with identifying the music stopping for a split second up to seconds on non-Delphi VAG units? I have turned off Wifi and BT scanning, but that didn't make a difference.

Is there a 25/30cm cable that is superior to others?
[Android Auto General] FrankieG64:
The Cplay2air website description is a bit misleading and vague. If you dig deeper it says it only supports WIRED Android Auto. It appears their intended marketing is that Cplay2air will work with Android based headunits.
[Android Auto General] AussieMarky:
Yes android wireless. I purchased the unit but only after clarifying it was wireless which was not clear on their website. Could not get it to work on 2021 models and could not for some reason access their backdoor IP address from Australia. Tried different phones, different browsers and different 2021 model vehicles, hence why my thread was detailed so that developers would understand the issues I experienced and was trying to avoid in other units. I just want to know if this product is ready as a going concern. Some vehicle manufacturers had region codes on their systems. I worked for a vehicle manufacturer previously so I know this. I can't find an AAwireless sales website online????
[Android Auto General] slaphappy454:
Having some issues.

2017 Camaro ZL1. Note 20 Ultra on Verizon. I set it up. I got the Bixby action set up and the network quality checked. Phone connects to the unit with the Bluetooth and wifi. Light goes to solid blue. Android auto never comes up on the headunit. I hit the projection button and nothing. Waited for 15 minutes and nothing. Tried direct connection, passthrough, 2.4ghz. Android auto sees the unit as a wireless headunit but it just never shows up on my car.

I got it to work one time. But I haven't been able to do it again.

Edit: Still nothing.

Deleted and reconnected tryed every workaround it connects but never goes to my display.
[Android Auto General] mnim85:
Hey,

I just wanted to share my config in my 2020 (PSA) Opel Corsa F GS-Line with the 7" Infotainment and my Google Pixel 4 XL.

USB-Mode: Direct

Adjust Audio Timestamp: activated

Start / Stop: (BT Connection of my car 'Opel Corsa')

In AA Setting: Wireless projection aktivated

In AA Developer section: Force video at startup

I had some trouble finding the right settings, but now it's working flawless. The PSA USB-port ist powered shortly after unlocking the car, but the head unit wasn't done booting. The Start / Stop function fixed the issue and to force the video, fixed the issue, AA is recognized by the head unit, but no screen showing up.

The setting should work in all new Opel car with the PSA head unit, like Crossland and Grandland.
[Android Auto General] andrelotter:
Good day, I had similar problems. The music playback will first stop and then the head unit exits. Happened a few times in a row until I realized that I was close to a big airport. A few days later I went on a long trip and on a few occasions when I passed a mobile cell phone mast the same happened again. On my way back I forced aawireless to use 2.4 Ghz only and there was a great improvement. Now I would just sometimes get a very short pause on the music playback. It looks like external rf interference on the 5 Ghz band and it happens even with the phone only a few inches away from the aawireless unit.
[Android Auto General] slaphappy454:
Just a FYI to anyone with a newer Mylink. Do not get this thinking it will work. 6 different phones, 20 cables, every combo for the settings attempted. It connects but never displays on my headunit. So it's listed on marketplace so I can try to get some of the cash and maybe someone has a car it will work with. Till then going back to the slave device I leave in my car.
[Android Auto General] Dion.Dube:
I have a 2017 Camaro SS which I assume has the same had unit and the AAW unit works pretty well. I occasionally get audio stutter using Spotify but it seems to correct itself. Only rarely does it fail to connect to the head unit properly.
[Android Auto General] slaphappy454:
What Android auto APK are you using? Can you extract it and upload it?

Wired it works perfect. Wireless it connects but never shows up on the display.
[Android Auto General] mnim85:
Did you activated "Force video stream on startup" in the AA developer settings? I had a similar problem in my car.
[Android Auto General] slaphappy454:
I can't remember if I did. I'll check and report back. Thanks.

Edit. Not seeing that. Still nothing is working...not really surprised. Just hope I can get some money back so I don't feel as scammed.

Last picture was when I switched it to 2.4ghz. did that one time and as usual. Nothing on the head unit.

I'm running that on my note 20 Ultra and I did what was listed in the FAQ and nothing. Same thing with every other phone I have.

I'm just going back to a slave device. Much better and actually works. I got this listed on Facebook in hopes I can try to get some of the money back.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I'm sure someone will buy it, of you were near me I probably would, waiting for my third one.

You shouldn't feel scammed either way, this device is no scam.

I'm on a S20+, you definitely should have that settings in the developer settings, it may help a lot.
[Android Auto General] slaphappy454:
I wish. 24 hours and not a single response or even a low-ball offer. I mean I honestly don't blame them.

This is it. This is all it does. Multiple phones, cables done everything to try and get it to work this is all it does.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
If you go into the old looking AA app on your phone, settings and then click on the three dots on the top right for Developer settings there should be "request video focus on start" near the bottom. I also have "add wireless projection to settings" ticked but it may have always been there as my phone, as yours should, supports wireless AA officially. Have you seen these settings?

Then in the normal settings of the AA App you need to have Wireless AA ticked on under System.

These are your best shots at getting it working.

Not as many people know about this and what it is, so if you still want to sell as these settings don't help, hopefully someone will pick it up. A guy near me is waiting for his and is jealous I have two, he also has a VAG car so it will work pretty well. Interested to see how is music goes.

I really like my device, as it can be connected faster than the cable as it powers up with the car being unlocked and then usually the headunit boots quick and displays AA faster than before for the most part. I now also have wireless charging in my main car so it's pretty great.
[Android Auto General] slaphappy454:
I have those ticked. Even factory reset a phone. I'm not shocked this doesn't work. Android sees it as a wireless unit it just never displays anything on the car.

Thanks but I'm just going back to a dedicated slave device. It's way better and less of a hassle and actually works. Pretty sure I won't even be able to sell this lol.

2020 VW Jetta GLI (North American)

Radio - PN 2GA035869A HW 715 (not sure if it is MIB2 or 2.5) Dealer Sticker calls it a Composition Color 6.5"

MU Version - 0740, Android Version - S1.3_A0740

Phone: Samsung S20FE, One UI 3.1, Android 11, Android Auto Version6.4.611714

I have gotten it to connect and work, it just takes 10 minutes and constant unplugging and replugging of the usb and fiddling with the phones screen.

I have tried lots of settings and options, and search thru here, but nothing seems to get it to just boot up and work when I get in the car. Any recommended settings would be great.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Do you have the Developer tick boxes set? The VAG cars generally connect ok, one of the brands that make the MIB needs the audio setting enabled, but usually Direct or MTP will work to get a connection.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
They do seem to be hardest to get working on GM products, and we have those as Holdens over here, though some people are reporting success most recently, though not all headunits are exactly the same.

I'm guessing you tried passthrough mode?
[Android Auto General] AndrewShahoff:
But this is very basic functionality for a lot of users with built in hotspots. If this is not an option right now , I cannot even use the device. Really strange decision.
[Android Auto General] HansWursT619:
In anticipation for my device I wanted to install the app on my phone.

Unfortunately it is marked as not supported.

Yes, minimum requirement is Android 9.

VW Golf variant with Samsung S20 FE, is anyone else experiencing a wrong/delayed GPS position in Google maps?

From time to time then it updates the position correctly, but then gets behind again.

Never had this issue with wired Android Auto with the same phone.
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
@Emil Borconi knows that a lot of users want this capability. There is a difference between "basic user scenarios" and "basic functionality". The big issue for this first release was to focus on making the device work as a gateway between the user's phone and Android Auto.

Making the device work with a "hotspot" then connect to the phone complicates things technically. It adds an additional gateway into the mix and requires routing wirelessly between 2 devices, not just the phone. Outside of the complexity of the software to be written to make it do that, there is also the complexity of trying to troubleshoot any user issues and figuring out where the problem is. For the first iteration of the release, the easiest way to bring wireless AA to everyone is make it work directly between the phone, the device, and AA. It is the lowest common denominator and the easiest to ensure is working properly.

I hope that helps to understand a little better. I am fairly certain that it will eventually work the way you want it to, but I can't guarantee it as the decision is completely up to Emil and his team.

Edit to add Emil's reply from Indiegogo comments section:

You can use a different cable, USB 2.0 is fine. Connecting to existing WiFi will come with future OTA. First we want to make sure we have it working 100% reliable for everyone, then we move on the enhancements.
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
I've had that happen with wired AA when I put my phone in the armrest or glovebox and it cannot get a good GPS lock. Are you keeping your phone in the same location you did when you had to use a cable for AA? If not, then maybe trying a different location would fix the problem?
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
i keep it always on the passenger seat or close to the gear shift like i did before, i also tried placing the phone on the cockpit but i had the same issue.

I will try tomorrow with Waze to check if the problem is the application.

Could be that there's more latency in the communication and this is affecting the GPS position?
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
That's possible, there will be more latency over wireless than if you are directly connecting, but I wouldn't expect it to be high enough to cause something like this. Are you using the 5ghz band or the 2.4ghz?
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
5GHz

My Samsung phones had a lengthy connection time when they were sleeping. When on the lock screen they connected quickly. I found that Android Auto v6.2 solved the problem for me. You can find it on APKMirror if the Play store has not yet updated you.
