I was backer # 1260 on Indiegogo, I think that fell in the first batch shipped out.

I have not had any dropouts since I shielded mine with foil. I would get them everytime I passed specific areas without the foil.
[Android Auto General] canadoc01:
Just aluminum foil? Is there a way to know which batch. Mine came in June. Original motherboard chip.

What was the issue with the bad batch?

Hello,

i have problem to connect to my car.

Skoda Fabia 3 Mib2 Amundsen (Full Speach and Navigation)

Mobile Note 10+ android 11

As i received my 'Perk' it has Firmware 1.5, i connect it after a few trys wirh Force 2.4gh and VAG crash fix.

The LED was blue and at the head unit from car i can select 'aa Wireless'.

This works for 5 minutes, then i make the ota update to 1,71. The device and my mobile makes a wifi connection.

After this point, no connect to the car unit.

I can use the config app, to set parameters to the aa wireless device, but nothing happens, after power on the device it shows 8-10 second the green led, then it blinks green, 3 blinks, 3 blinks, 3 blinks.

Then i set another parameter to the device and pull the cable, after power on the same begins.

Trying to delete the bluetooth entry (read it under help and suggestion) with aawireless is not possible, i can only decouple it.

Cache and data on Apps are deletet, no effect.

Wenn i do the setup process again, the aaconfig setup will not end, the android auto will start on the mobile and can't connect to the head unit.

How can i go back to firmware 1,5?

8 times Disconnect to power at boot has no effect to the device, it has still Firmware 1,71 - showing at the app. (Trying to bring the emergency firmware backup to live!)

AAWireless-4DEJFJR6

Best regards

Roland Linke

Tried the foil also updated to 1.71. not sure which did it but the dropout didn't happen. Today where it always does!

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
That will be the foil, it's great at keeping the music going.
[Android Auto General] canadoc01:
I'm glad it works but clearly poor design they didn't see this flaw.

Wondering if I should open the caseout foil there instead or if that might add heat. Right now I have foil tape on outside.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Yes, it clearly wasn't a known thing as in your house and garage, when you're testing does it work, it does, but out and about there is interference, sometimes it's a bit random, sometimes it's always the same area.

It would be good to incorporate a foil lining, or whatever works, in future builds as it really is needed out in the wild.

Mine was carefully put inside with foil tape, had to buy way too much but still cheap for the fix and happy to get it working. It looks normal from the outside, not that I can see the AAW unit anyway, it's stuck up out of the way.

I certainly wouldn't have thought about interference, especially with the unit and the phone so close in the car.

Hi,

I'm new on XDA.

I have my AAWireless with 1.5.0 working fine.

After updating to 1.7.1 there is no chance to connect to AA.

Clear data from cache, resetting AAWireless, or deleting bluetooth connection... everything fails.

Is there a chance to manually downgrade to 1.5.0?

AAWireless-GQF4FFMC
[Android Auto General] :
Anyoneelse has Problems that the Audio is worse on AA then just the normal connection?

Is there a fix i missed?
[Android Auto General] disastah:
Hi @All,

I received my Unit yet, but I have the problem, that there is no Wireless Network visible - also if I switch to 2.4 GHz I cant't find a WfFi like "AAWireless-123456..." - Bluetooth is working and showing the right AAWireless device. And without the right WiFi AA can't connect

Is there somebody with the same Problems, or some ideas?

Thx and best regards

Got a tracking number been. Like. It for. 2 week's yet says. Number is non existence.. Is this a supply issue anyone else had same..
[Android Auto General] matej1990:
I have the same issue. Green light is blinking. I can connect to the AAW device with bluetooth, change and save settings. Wifi connection is not possible. No AAWireles-XXXXXX wifi is visible. Even when I change to 2.4GHz only in AAW app. Should the AAW wifi be visible all the time (not hidden SSID)?

Reset didn't work, even the procedure from support site didn't work: https://cpeb.freshdesk.com/support/...evice-never-connects-and-keeps-blinking-green

I have Pixel 3 XL (A11), but tried with Tab S5e, Galaxy Note 9, S9... all devices the same issue. No wifi connection with AAW.

Any suggestions?
[Android Auto General] canadoc01:
Today the foil truck didn't work 😕
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
WiFi should always be visible, if it's not, something is wrong. Could be a defective one. Please contact support at support@cpeb.it
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We are working on this issue. It's fixable by software to some degree by using a higher channel and using 40Mhz Wifi-N instead of 80Mhz AC (which is overkill anyway). In some countries the interference is terrible on 5Ghz. Switching to 2.4ghz always fixes it, which is possible right now.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You can downgrade to 1.5 now, not sure it would help though... Blinking green mostly means something is wrong with the bluetooth pairing and the phone rejects the connection. I'd suggest to remove the pairing manually from the bluetooth settings of the phone and re-pair to the device.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Hi there, can you please re enable my OTA so I can update from 1.3? Cheers
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Moving to 2.4ghz didn't fix it for me, so I foiled my insides very well, but it is good to see you're comabiting it in different ways.

I have a third unit on the way and I won't foil that, I'll test it as is.
[Android Auto General] bjevers:
Same here.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I think I did that already.

Odd, you can join us on Slack to investigate further. Please send me a PM so I can add you to the beta testers group (if you want ;) ).

Thanks for quick answer.

On my device wifi is not visible no mater what phone/device I use. Reset is not helping. Also no progress when switching to 2.4GHz mode only in AAW app. I guess my AAW device is faulty. :( I'm already in the contact with support. Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Bunecarera:
Got my unit last week.

Is working great at the moment, but I cannot seem to update to 1.7.1.

Current version is 1.6.0

Have a rooted Oneplus 9Pro International.

As soon as I start the OTA update, the led goes from blinking blue back to blinking green.

And it looses the Wifi connection to the AAWireless unit...

I have tried connecting it to a normal USB source.

Hi rale000,

Can you guide me to how you found the SSID/wpa for aawireless?
[Android Auto General] andrelotter:
Hi there, I noticed that you say 2.4Ghz always fixes the interference problem. I said in my original post when I started to experiment with the foil that 2.4Ghz also had interference. It was not as bad but not fixable with the foil at all. See https://xdaforums.com/t/aawireless-general-discussion-and-support.4247677/post-85422181. I also said that the 2.4Ghz band was only 20Mhz and you should try 40Mhz Another member (shadowcaster3) also suggested that the signal to noise ratio could be the problem. His explanation makes much more sense. Something that you can look into. Maybe an extended antenna inside the case can help. See his post at https://xdaforums.com/t/aawireless-general-discussion-and-support.4247677/post-85437469
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Thanks for the info, I don't follow this thread all the time, cause I quite simply don't have the time for it. We have some of our testers testing these WiFi issues for us. For our testers (and also myself) 2.4Ghz always fixes these dropout issues. We now have 4 different versions of the boards, with 4 (or actually 5) different WiFi chips, so it could be possible it's somewhat worse for some models than others.

We are doing our best to fix these issues, but unfortunately we are no hardware engineers. Until now we were fully dependent on the Chinese. Recently we hired an independent hardware engineer (in NL) to investigate this issue in a lab situation, and also over all audit the hardware.

Can i be a beta tester too?

So... I have AAwireless for a week. Everything is awesome, connecting is fast and stable. BUT! I have a problem with audio streaming from Tidal. Approx after 5, 10 minutes of listening, Music streaming is full of interrupts. For now, it's useless for me, I bought it primaly for wireless Tidal. I have build in navi from factory. In AAwireless app, I tried everything and There is no change for me. I suspect that problem is in combination in Android Auto Navi app (Google maps, Waze a.s.o.)and streaming music from Tidal in the same time. Problem is that AA is launching the navi app automaticaly on start.

I have a Peugeot 508 MY2020 and AAwireless with the latest FW 1.7.1, phone Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2.

Thank you so much for some information about this problem 👍
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
So many issues after updating to 1.7.1

I have a unit from the first batch(es).

Connection interrupts a lot, drop-outs, often no reconnection after this interrupts, after replug the AAW connection it works again for a few time.

The 1.5 worked nearly perfect for me.

Is it possible to downgrade my device?

Device: l9il9i67yYv

Thanks for your help!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sure, you can downgrade to 1.5. Please report back if it helps for you.
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
Thank you very much :-)

I will downgrade after my work. Tomorrow i gonna have a longer journey with my car. I will let you know if the problems persist or are they gone.

BTW: Perfect support here! Thanks to the team of AAW

[Android Auto General] yahoo666:
Hey, I'm new here. Hello everyone:)

I got my AAW device some 2-3 days ago, and I am unable to make it stable ever since. I reach out here as it appears to be the only source of support for the AAWireless.

VW Passat B8, 2015. DiscoverPro unit; Samsung Galaxy S20.

Story is:

All the initial setup went smooth. Starts up normally (green, then blue light, when turns blue my phone says that it's connected to AAW). I select AAW on my head unit, it appears on the screen and works for some random time - from 1 to ~50 seconds, then disconnects. Car says "can't connect to the device" - and the LED on the AAW unit is off. Then turns green again, then blue - phone discovers and connects - and the AAW is again available. And disconnects again, and this vicious cycle repeats. Looks like the device is randomly restarting. If the device is not enabled (so it's connected to the car, and to the phone, but not selected on the car screen) the blue light remains on. When enabling it in head unit - boom, here we go again.

Tried multiple different cables, including the one that came with the device. No major differences. Moreover, tethered AA, directly from the phone, works good on all those cables. This also appears to be completely independent from any movement - happens also with the car standing still in the garage and without me touching anything. I can record the video if that helps.

I've impatiently waited for like half a year to get my AAW unit, and I am super unhappy that I can't use it:( Fingers crossed we could find a solution together.

Any suggestions? I am quite lame, so will potentially need some "for dummies" kind of guidance;)

Cheers from Poland!

@yahoo666 , are you running the latest 1.7.1 firmware?
[Android Auto General] sabbotage:
I am not sure where else to post this issue so I thought I would give this a try. I am on my third AAWireless device after 2 replacements. My first one failed and would not boot and was on firmware 1.30 when this happened. My replacement came and I updated right away to 1.50. After this update I started noticing a hiccup or skip every 20 seconds in my music so I started digging deeper. The problem only happened once I would skip a song. If I started YouTube music from the start and just let the music play the problem would never happen. Once I used the steering wheel control or the touch screen to skip to the next song it would hiccup or quickly pause every 20 seconds. When I closed Android Auto and went back to the radio and then quickly opened Android Auto back up and resumed playback the problem was fixed again. Then anytime I would skip a song the problem would start again. I tried every available option including forcing 2.4Ghz and nothing worked. I put in a support ticket and after explaining everything they decided to replace the device again. I recieved the new one a few days ago and got it all setup flawlessly and out of the box it was on firmware 1.50. So I started playback and skipped a song and same thing with the new one. Every 20 seconds a hiccup or quick pause in the music. I saw firmware 1.71 was available so I installed that and still have the same problem. I don't recall my original device ever having this problem on firmware 1.30. I would be happy to get logs or something to get this issue fixed. I do think it's software related since I saw the issue with 2 different units. There is also a thread over at reddit where several others have similar issues:

[Android Auto General] Jellycrusher:
Had the same issue- Skoda Scala 2020, S20U, upgraded radio without navigation. For me worked- disabling the contacts synchro at phone bluetooth settings with AAWirelsess, and then enabling passthrough option in app settings. You also have to enable in AA settings- wireless connection, and video streaming options. After that it works flawlessly.
[Android Auto General] Roland Linke:
Hi,

i was wrote form the team to downgrade to Firmware 1.5.

I downloaded it but there is no chance to install it.

It look like the device can't connect to my mobile with Wi-Fi. Bluetooth to connect to phone is established.

Then i delete the cache and data from aa-connect. Big Mistake!!

Now i am unable to download 1.5 again.

I mean it is not so good to question to another download to my perk when i can not connect with Wi-Fi to install it!

What can i do to bring back the Firmware 1.5 without connections?

Interrupt the boot sequence 5 times, How long is the time slice?

Pull the power Cable out, with LED static green or with LED 3 times blink?

Best Regards

Roland

I have 2 AAWireless devices, and I had them both working flawlessly in a Hyundai Palisade for months. I upgraded the vehicle to a Genesis GV80, which some may know is a Hyundai "upgrade" product, and runs a very similar/same head unit as the Palisade. The software is a little different, but appears to have a very similar baseline and structure.

In the Palisade, the AAWireless devices were very stable, with a vary rare disconnect. In the Genesis, the devices seem to connect for maybe 10 seconds, bring up AA, then disconnect. It cycles through that cycle every 10 to 15 seconds. I tried changing available settings like USB etc in the app, with no change. I've tried multiple cables, including the one that worked in the Palisade, with no luck. I should note, if I plug the phone in using the same cables it works flawlessly, so tells me cable is good. I updated both to the newest firmware and that did not change anything. I note that I may have updated to newest firmware BEFORE trying in the Genesis, and mention because I see discussions on the newest version (1.7.1) having bugs)

The phone is a Samsung S20 Ultra, and is the same phone and settings I had with the Palisade. I did try to delete and reinstall the AAWireless devices, then the app itself, and once again no change.

Anyone have any thoughts on what to try? Really surprised me when it did not work in the Genesis given the headunits are both Hyundai and so similar to the Palisades
[Android Auto General] jose.illes:
I have received the unit and was very satisfied with its operation, but I was very disappointed when I discovered that my phone has stopped recording calls when connected to the aawirelless, this for me is very important to have this recording function the calls, before putting the aawirelless if it had the function of recording calls having connected by bluetooth to the car radio.

My phone is a xiaomi Mi 10T Pro, with android 11 system, room xiaomi.eu, with native dialer and active call recording.

Please, it is very important for me to be able to record the calls for my work, I need to know if this bug has any solution, thank you very much for the help.

Done, you can downgrade.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
To be honest, I don't know at this point. We have over 3800 boards now on 1.7.1 and very few tickets of issues with 1.7.1. Anyway, we're stopping updates for the old boards for now to investigate.
[Android Auto General] IgwanaRob:
That did it, thank you.

Guessing mine is first gen, last batch of that run I recall correctly. Rarely having issues, initial connection issues usually only happen due to automated timing issues on my device. I'll stick to 1.50 for now, thanks again.
[Android Auto General] hand-filer:
I have a 1st gen unit currently running on firmware 1.7.0. I get the disconnect issue at one specific location every time without fail.

I keep a Faraday pouch in the car for my key fob for when I'm at the self serve car wash. Today I decided to place my AA module in it to see what would happen. Long story short, no more dropouts and much easier than lining the housing with foil tape.
[Android Auto General] Roland Linke:
Hi festor,

My PC unfortunately does not have Wi-Fi, after borrowing a laptop and struggling with transferring the web link to no avail, I searched for the Wi-Fi AA wireless radio network.

When I print the mail to PDF, the web link no longer works.

The AA-Wireless* network does not show up.

As soon as there is power on the device the green LED goes on permanently and then flashes 3 times each.

A Bluetooth connection is present and I can change the settings.

Neither with or without Force 2.4 Ghz I see the network on the laptop.

The phone is permanently searching for Android Auto.

Best regards

Roland

[Android Auto General] hildemente:
hi, i received the device yesterday and had a big problem. after connecting to the usb the green led flashes but no bluetooth connection is possible and therefore no wifi either. no change in a connection even after several resets. bluetooth has been tested with various devices, none of which has been successful.

maybe someone has a solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance
[Android Auto General] Smith John:
+1 connection problem. AAWireless never connects to Wifi. There is no AAWireless-XXXXXX wifi network visible. Bluetooth connection works fine, settings can be adjusted. LED is flashing green after booting (constant green).

After plugging AAWireless in for the first time, first thing I did was to update. Worked fine from 1.3.0? to 1.7.1

But afterwords, I did never get a blue light. Never saw a AAWireless Wifi network. Resetting, un-pairing-pairing, deleting cache and data etc. does not solve the problem. Downgrading to 1.5.0 is not possible, because the App won't connect to the device.
[Android Auto General] cichy222:
Dla mnie taka sama sytuacja, jak opisujesz.
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
I think the problem ist not only at a "few" boards of the first batch. Do you see how many customers of this GEN updated to 1.7.0/1.7.1? How much percent of them use this? I think there could be many more with this problem but the most of them have not used this FW, or dont update to any new version or are not interested for searching for the issue and dont report them to you. Not all of this users trying to keep in contact in this board to you or your App.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, we can see exactly how much boards of each model are updated to a certain version.

If people are having issues after an update we should see that back in the tickets in our support system / XDA / Reddit, we monitor all these sources.

If that's not the case, it means we can never push any update anymore. We do test updates internally, but there will always be cases where a certain update breaks for some and not for others.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Please contact support at support@cpeb.it and ask for a replacement.
[Android Auto General] Tommy Hilfaker:
Can you tell us exactly how many percent of the GEN 1 customers using 1.7.0/1.7.1?

Problems doesn't mean automatically you get tickets with this issues. Most of the peoples are "tired" of reporting them :)

Are you getting the disconnection (before the pouch) even when forcing 2.4GHz networking?
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
New issues would be getting reported.. that's human nature to get upset/annoyed/frustrated when something breaks.. 🤨😉

1.7.1 is still rock solid here and using Start/Stop full time without issue. Best firmware release to date! I think they just need to iron out the 1.10.x app issues in the internal beta and push a new stable app release and we're good.

1.7.0 was of course the worst since it broke many devices booting up most of the time, and you better believe I reported on that promptly, then tested the sh*t out of it, and so it got fixed in 1.7.1. 👍

Not sure what to try though. I drove today with an e2w3 (batch 3, same as yours) for 2 hours with zero issues on 1.7.1. So it's a bit of a mystery.
