My AAwireless connected immediately and worked on my UConnect4 8.4c 2020 Ram 1500. Made and received some calls and texts, and was super happy (yesterday). Next time I went for a drive, nothing was connected, and I noticed Solid green, with no change at all (yesterday). Tried today and still solid green only. So I took it into the office and connected to laptop to try a different power source, still solid green nothing else. Have tried a reset of AAwireless, still no change, light goes off as expected, then straight back to solid green. Hard to change any settings if it doesn't even connect to BT or wifi. Any ideas or help? I have read through the whole thread and have seen just a couple of others with same issue, but didn't see any resolution or follow-up from them if they got it to work.

Mine is the batch with the ram glitch, so hopefully the update with the "tool" will help, but not sure if its stuck booting. Thoughts?
[Android Auto General] bjevers:
I have issues with AA in my 2020 Ram 1500 from time to time and have to remove my phone from projection settings to get it to work again. So try this...

Truck needs to be in running. Unplug AA Wireless from truck. Go into Settings, Bluetooth, Projection Manager. Click on AA Wireless and choose to Forget Device. Now plug your AA Wireless back in and see if it works.
[Android Auto General] rourky80:
My issue appears to be more of AAWireless stays in boot, solid green light, so not even a chance to get to connect to head unit again. I will try what you are saying though (I would sometimes have to do this with my phone without aaw).

-Tried removing from projection manager in head unit, as expected, still solid green with no change.
[Android Auto General] wainy54:
Just got my aawireless unit today. Great experience, set up was very easy and everything worked fine with my 2018 Audi A5.

I had a play with the settings, enabled the audio timestamp thing (because it said it was needed for VAG, not because I noticed any issue). The DPI options are a nice touch.

I noticed it takes about a minute for the phone to disconnect when I leave the car, but I suspect it's still powering the USB port. Will confirm that at some point.

The companion app reports it's on version 1.1.0, with no OTA available. So not tested that part yet.

In summary what a brilliant little product. Solves for all those times I've got my phone in a bag or a pocket when I set off in the car.
[Android Auto General] Cavin8:
Having the headunit reboot issue. VW Jetta, with MIB 2 I believe.

I tried what -Loom- had suggested by turning on "Enable Audio Latency Dump" in the Android Auto developer settings. As well as having the "Adjust audio timestamp" option enabled.

Headunit will still reboot while using Spotify, specifically when the song is skipped or ends and switches to the next song. Doing anything in Spotify like skipping songs or resuming / pausing a song is delayed. It's almost as if the CPU usage on the headunit or AAWireless is maxing out.

ID#9437 so I believe I am in the batch that will need the firmware update. Also checked today and I am not seeing the 1.2.0 update. But honestly not sure if I want to apply that anyways.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
There was still skipping going on, perhaps not as much, but as it still occurred I have turned it back on a couple of days ago. It can be really fine for a bit, then skip, sometimes short, sometimes longer. Frustrating, but we will get there.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
For yourself and others with VAG cars, is it the headunit rebooting fully, or is it the connection to AA, via AAW, that is lost, and then comes back?

The few times I have had something like that in two VAG cars it seemed like it was the AAW box rebooting, I didn't get the full VW splashcreen etc.
[Android Auto General] Cavin8:
The headunit is definitely rebooting or crashing. I do see the VW load up splash screen.

It does not seem like it is the USB losing connection. I tested this by wiggling the usb cable while I had AA running. The headunit did not reboot or stop playing music. I then just straight unplugged AAWireless and still no reboot.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Ok, I'll keep an eye out in the future and double check what I see. Yes, it's not the cable loose, my units are stuck to the roof of the bottom console area, nicely tucked and not getting bumped, but when I had a cable, after a few months at least it would get flakier and flakier with the constant movement in the car along with all the plugging and unplugging. I knew this would not be an issue once I got my AAW box.
[Android Auto General] sm753:
I got mine today. Sort of works. 2019 Mazda CX-5 with a Pixel 3 XL.

Only works with passthrough enabled but it keeps disconnecting and then reconnecting every couple of minutes. I saw that the 1.2.0 OTA specifically address issues with getting it to connect to Mazda cars without having to use passthrough...except my app shows that I'm on 1.1.0 and that there's no update available. Anyone know where I can manually download the OTA file?
[Android Auto General] sabbotage:
It's working fine in my 2016 Canyon. I had to turn USB passthrugh mode on and it's connected every time since. With passthrough mode off it only connected about 50% of the time.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
I tried everything you said, clearing caches, storage, unpairing, uninstalling, debug, etc. I tried it all a million ways for two hours in my car. This device was fine a week ago when we went from a Samsung Note 10+ to the S23 Ultra on the same Nissan Rogue. I couldn't even do the debug as when I would try it would say could not get debugging status is it powered on? Then sometimes debug started (i think) but when I would go back it would say unable to get debug log or similar. And my device would always disconnect and reconnect from Bluetooth like crazy.

I tried using a phone Sim tool to hard reset the device. I used the app to do the same thing. Using setup it would always look like it was going to work till the end where it would timeout "Looking for Android Auto" in the notification garage door. Then it would send me through troubleshooting. During troubleshooting my device would flash green forever and then sometimes it would stay solid red. I have no clue what is happening here as it was fine a week ago? Please help me out here. We backed you when you were still working on the devices but this is a little much. I thank you for your time and effort though. Let's try round two please.

Sincerely,

5th
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I'm trying to help. But at some point I have honestly no idea what to do or try.

Every time Samsung releases a new flagship phone, Android Auto starts breaking and our support ticket count explodes. It happened with the S20, 21, 22, Fold 3 and now also the S23 and Fold 4. And this "cheap" dongle always gets the blame, because it cannot be the 1000+ dollar phone.

Anyway, maybe the dongle is broken and it's pure coincidence. So let's try to replace it. Please contact support@aawireless.io. You can mention this post and support will replace it for you.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
I'm sorry brother, I did not mean to put undo stress on you. If you tell me there are multiple people that have the same issue as me and I'll shut up and wait for a fix. I did see one person that had a similar issue but his was working apart from passthrough mode. And my wife loves her AAWireless and we would have bought it over a hundred times even if it was just for the time we had it. Are you guys being bombarded by S23 Ultra issues similar to mine or should I just swap it and try that? I don't like to waste money and if you say sit down and shut up it'll be fixed I'm down to do that. The firmware was updated right after I changed phones and began to set it up with the new phone. It never use to disconnect like it does now but i figured it was the way it was on the new firmware. Maybe it got boinked somewhere along the line. And again I appreciate everything you've done to try and help me. I also appreciate that you guys created a device like, out of the blue, and made it a reality. Major props. But welcome to retail, lol, pickup your 9mm on the way to the service desk and point it at the wall (less cleanup the way) lol.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Double post, deleted.
[Android Auto General] crespo80:
Thank you, that did it!

I think this should be clearly written in the AAwireless app, because, even if I was aware of developer settings and I had read that I should have enabled them to see the option, I was enabling the standard developer setting in the general settings of the phone, I wasn't aware that such an option was present also in the AA app!

Is it normal such an important feature is hidden inside a developer menu inside an app?
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Wireless projection wasn't in my version of android auto developer settings. It had wireless android auto but it was already checked.
[Android Auto General] ilyukha13:
I can conform that mine works now with Passthrough disabled on s23 ultra with the 3.20 version of the app. Thanks for your help!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Normally you don't have to enable wireless projection on Pixel phones, or any other phone with Android 11 and above, it should be enabled by default. This is honestly baffling...

The AAWireless app previously did contain a description how to enable the wireless projection checkbox from the developer settings of AA. But this is only nessecarry for phones which don't officially support wireless AA (see: https://support.google.com/androidauto/answer/6348019?hl=en#zippy=,android-auto-on-your-car-display-wireless). We decided to remove this setup screen, because we are not supporting non officially supported phones anymore.

Also, Google removed the checkbox to enable wireless projection in the latest versions of Android Auto. It's enabled by default and you can't disable it.

Edit: Or are you possibly located in a country where Android Auto isn't officially supported, so not listed in the Play Store?
[Android Auto General] crespo80:
I'm in Italy, the Android Auto app comes preinstalled and I've been using it in wired mode on my cars since my pixel 3a days. My girlfriend also has a Pixel 6a and I had to enable wireless projection (it is caled "wireless mode" in Italy) on the AA dev settings of her phone too.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sorry, it wasn't meant as a personal insult. I was just trying to explain the reality of Android Auto. It mostly works fine, but you have to be prepared to it being broken sometimes in one way or another.

Let's try one more thing.

- Please turn off passthrough mode.

- Connect device to an USB power adapter (or laptop etc, as long as it gets power).

- Try to push another bug report.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
That is very odd. Were the apps and settings possibly transfered from an old phone?
[Android Auto General] crespo80:
I don't know, everything is possible, my previous phone was the pixel 4a; but given that I've cleared all AA data I thought it would reset to default options.

Anyway, since AAwireless app troubleshooting was already prompting me to enable wireless projection, I think it'd be better to make it specify where to find that option!

Now that it works, the device is a joy to use, my only regret is having waited for way too long before buying it 😁
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It should indeed reset to defaults when clearing AA data. On a Pixel 4a it should also have been enabled from factory. Really hard to explain. But we might move the AA dev settings settings/troubleshooting screen back in the app.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
OK, once I enable debug mode do I try to install the adapter again or do I just need to connect it to the USB power adapter and do the bug report?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Just power adapter and bug report indeed. You can start it and then stop it right after. I should be able to see enough without debug logging.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
OK, im not sure if it worked? I had it plugged inside my home via a power adapter and it connects to my device. I disabled pass through mode. Then I went to debug and clicked start. Then it seemed like it would work as the button would do something and it would change to the button text "stop debug mode and create bug report". So I then would press the debug button again and it would "think" for quite some time but then it would give the error "could not get debugging status is your device powered on?" So I hit "retry" and got "could not change debug mode message". Then I tried again and got "log download failed". In the notification tray sometimes it would say "downloading log" under the AAwireless icon. Also the entire time of having the aawireless unplugged into an adapter it flashed green light fast over and over. It may have worked once as when I did the debug button a screen popped up and wanted me to type text over what was wrong. I typed a few words and but the button and nothing else was said. Any ideas brother? Can you see anything on your end? Something tells me that maybe the firmware update boinked it?

Edit: I my have gotten it to work as it came up again and I put text in and sent it. It didn't give me any errors so pray it worked, lol. Let me know snirpo.

@Fifth313ment

It seems that a lot of Samsung (it doesn't matter if it is a S22 or S23) and Pixel users face Android Auto problems (especially with wireless Android Auto). You can google it. Here are some examples: https://www.sammobile.com/news/galax...d-auto-issues/ https://www.autoevolution.com/news/n...to-210206.html https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/...-35222893.html https://www.smartdroid.de/samsung-sm...-android-auto/
[Android Auto General] sToRm1nG:
Hey guys

I know it's not officially supported but I'm trying to get Android Auto to work on CalyxOS and was able to do so at least wired.

When I try to use Android Auto with AAWireless the device is constantly blinking green. Are you aware of parts in GSF which are required by Android Auto Wireless? It seems to be an issue with sharing the password for the WIFI over Bluetooth but even when i manually connect my phone to the WIFI with the correct password Android Auto isn't launching.

With LineageOS and MindTheGapps it is working perfectly so maybe this is a limitation of microG.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If wired works, I expect wireless to also work, shouldn't make a difference. Maybe "wireless projection" isn't enabled in Android Auto developer settings?

You can possibly also try start / stop from our companion app. This bypasses the native Android Auto Wireless bootstrap. If that works, then the native Bootstrap is the problem.
[Android Auto General] sToRm1nG:
How would I start / stop directly from the companion app?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It's a setting. Home screen --> top right --> start / stop.
[Android Auto General] sToRm1nG:
Ah, this is not only for cars with an always powered USB port?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Normally yes. But you can always use it, it replaces the normal Bluetooth bootstrap procedure.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I have two logs now. So what's I'm seeing is AAWireless connecting to the phone, waiting for the phone to connect to the AA Bluetooth profile, but that never happens. You can possibly also try to enable start / stop from the settings in the companion app. When that works, Android Auto is broken somehow.
[Android Auto General] sToRm1nG:
You were right. it seems that the native Android Auto Wireless bootstrap isn't working but with the Start / Stop feature enabled it works.

Thanky again for the hint.
[Android Auto General] techguyone:
I have a query hopefully somebody can advise me on.

Phone is: Huawei P30 Pro

Car is : 2021 Peugeot 2008

Now Android Auto wireless does work pretty much as you'd expect , it's reliable, starts up fast and plays *some* audio just fine.

--

My query is, whilst it will play things like MP3's stored on the phone ok, if I try and play something that would use a mobile data/internet connection, it will fail.

Example: Spotify and a radio app called myTuner Pro (both are legitimate to work on AA) these will not play when AAW is working.

If I get my phone, turn off Wi-Fi to break the AAW connection and try to use these apps on mobile data, they will work as expected, but the moment I turn Wi-Fi back on and allow AAW to connect, the sound stops.

Is this a AAW limitation or is there any settings I can try to see if audio that requires a connection to work will play?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No, this is a bug in EMUI. When the phone shows a dialog about "You're connected to a network without internet" when connected to AAWireless (or any other dongle), ignore this dialog. Do not press any of the button in the dialog, because you will loose internet. Anyway the P30 Pro, or any Huawei phone for that matter is not officially supported by Google for Android Auto Wireless (https://support.google.com/androidauto/answer/6348019?hl=en#zippy=,android-auto-on-your-car-display-wireless). So it will be a broken experience.
[Android Auto General] techguyone:
Ahh I see, oh well, I'm likely to get a S23+ later this year, hopefully that will be better.
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
Hi Snirpo

FYR: I'm the one who owns Xiaomi Mi9 and AlfaRomeo, You have suggested to replace the AAW because of the connection breakings. I have tested the module with Samsung A53 (Android13 there) and haven't noticed this issue. After coming back to the Xiaomi, the same nothing by now. So after the tests I'm the same stupid like before. I'm not sure if the problem is in AAW or my damned phone with ****-worth Android cancered by Xiaomi, and then if it's realy worth to replace AAW. I need much more time and experiments to be sure. Is it any problem to replace it much later, like after 2-4 weeks when I will be sure that it makes sense?

In the meantime I have got an impression that something disconnects BT connection to the car, not sure is it Xiaomi or Alfa. Generally the firmware of Xiaomi is realy unstable with cut or modified some system services by Xiaomi, many stuffs works there not like should do...

Could you tell me whether AAW apk is realy necessary to be used to establish the connecttion to the AAW module? Can it be done "manually" by connecting to the hotspot and typing some password? Asking because I would prefer to have BT turned ON and the phone connected to the car, but get AA/AAW connection working on my demand only instead of obligatory. The same with possibility to disconnect AAW from the phone without the BT/WiFi killing. This is because an AA service of the phones calling is terrible for me, and I can't use car BT if AA is active. So I would like to make some MD/Tasker script or just write some small apk with two switches: "Connect to AAW" and "disConnect from AAW", it's easy but would need to know how to connect to the hotspot manually. Possible somehow?
[Android Auto General] hand-filer:
Wise choice. It will be leagues better.
[Android Auto General] techguyone:
I hope so, although I've heard some issues with new Samsungs and AAW, hopefully by the time I get it, it will have resolved.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Not AAWireless specifically, but Android Auto (Wireless) in general.

[Android Auto General] Spool77:
I've been using my AA wireless for about a month now. It has been flawless. What I'm wondering is if anyone has any suggestions to reduce the heat of the phone when using it. I'm using a Samsung Z Flip 4. It gets very warm just using AA wireless and downright hot if I try to charge it at the same time. I originally tried a wireless charger with a cooling fan but that didn't work. Charging it with a cord and leaving fast charging off still heats up quite a bit but it's doable. Though this defeats the whole purpose of the aawireless.

For now I've only been using the aa wireless for normal commuting and short trips and just not charging at that time. For longer trips I just plug the phone in for normal Android Auto.

I realize this is completely phone dependent and not a fault if the aawireless unit itself. Was just hoping someone had maybe some suggested settings or something I could try to reduce heat.

Thanks in advance
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
I use also a wireless charger with cooling fan. It is made by ESR. This works pretty well also during summer.

I modded my case to have a mangetic ring to improve the positioning and also the fixation on the wireless charger.
[Android Auto General] festor:
I'm just wondering if any Xiaomi users' disconnections have lessened since the upgrade to MIUI 14/A13?

I upgraded my Poco F3 (EEA) a few days ago and since then I haven't had a disconnection over several hours of driving in areas that would normally guarantee AA to disconnect. I can still manually create a dropout by disabling/enabling mobile data so that issue has not been fixed, but random ones have stopped.

An unrelated issue with calls dropping after 29m 50sec appears to have been fixed too (Vodafone network). This is a bit of a contentious issue, but it's supposedly down to Vodafone's SIP Session Timer Refresh not working in conjunction with 4g calling (VoLTE) or Wireless calling enabled. It requires a fix from Vodafone or for the handset manufacturer(s) to support their unusual requirements. I have double checked and made sure 4g calling is enabled and I'm on 4g for preferred network... calls no longer stop at 29:50.

I took and update of Android Auto 9.0.630834 earlier in the week, but I'm sure I had disconnections afterwards. Maybe it's just a carrier services or Vodafone update and I'm getting a better signal?
