Our house has 2 phones, android and iphone. When using CP for both phones it has been working better. When android is connected to car nav by bluetooth we have had problems to start CP for iphone.

Second things is that CP start with out need to select source, even with "auto focus" AA is not starting without selecting AA from car display.
[Android Auto General] Dax9:
Hello is fullscreen in the Mercedes GLA 200 H247 possible?
[Android Auto General] Dax9:
Apparently no developer here seems to be interested?
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
I believe devs and support people also had a weekend…
[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
If the car does fullscreen CP with a wired iPhone, then yes CP and AA over CP will be full screen.

If it's a newer model with MBUX, then no because the car doesn't do full screen with anything.
[Android Auto General] joeyberkovitz:
If you're on 3.3.1, you'll need to make sure you followed the instructions for phone calls to work (disable dongle mode, unpair the phone from the car Bluetooth, make sure phone calls are enabled for the AAW Bluetooth).

Before 3.3.1, phone calls aren't expected to work unless the car allows Bluetooth during carplay (which is rare). Google assistant tends to be finicky with CP, but should work.

Regardless, I would recommend against AA over CP in almost all scenarios except for cars with no AA or cars where full screen is only available in CP.
[Android Auto General] -Loom-:
Since using AAWireless I had frequent loss of GPS during driving. Sometimes it did work for weeks, sometimes I lost GPS almost on every single drive. When switching to the car's built-in GPS, everything was fine.

Finally, I found the solution: allow background activity for Google Maps. Since I enabled that, I had no GPS connection loss for over a month now. I previously allowed background activity only for Android Auto, but that didn't help.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Yeah, background access will fix a variety of issues that are a bit random.
[Android Auto General] uhero2:
So you tell me that I have to but the product, wait for shipment, try, and if it doesn't work send it back probably paying for the return shipment, instead of asking users who already own it and use it daily?

This is surely the only way, I immediately go buy the dongle 😊
[Android Auto General] Cr4z33:
Out of curiosity what do you mean with "LVP"?

Never heard about that app. 🤔
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Well, no offence, but this not something everyone does daily. And neither it's the main purpose of AAWireless, it's more of an extra feature. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't. Buying the device for this purpose alone (or any other hack) I would not advice to anyone. Believe me, you'd be by faaaaaaarrrr the only one to just buy the device, try it out, and then return it.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Anybody else's AAW able to detect the local fixed speed cameras? Other VAG vehicles?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You were on 3.0 actually. I enabled it.
[Android Auto General] thorin33:
I have an original Indiegogo AAWireless device and for the most part it works in my 2020 Volvo V60. I get the occasional disconnects (no idea why this happens), Amazon Music stutters/skips and Waze directions like "turn left" or "turn right" result in "treft" and "tright". I just noticed with the latest update an audio stuttering option. Turning this to Low has seeming solved my Amazon Music stuttering. My question, is there a resource that explains what all the options do in the app? Just trying to see if there are any other settings that may help with my Waze issue.

TIA
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If you click an settings there's an explanation. These HU's can't handle latency, the message buffer is too low by default. Fine for USB, where's there's basically zero latency, but it doesn't work for wifi where there's inherent latency / jitter. That's why this audio stuttering happens. What the audio stutter fix does is hack into the AA protocol and artificially higher the "message buffer". The Waze problem is most likely related to the same problem. Unfixable. It's just because these HU manufacturers never took in account latency / jitter, which obviously makes sense, because they were designed for an USB connection.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Ok, thanks, I'll try that and report back.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Hi, I still get the issue near speed camera's, can I get the last 2.x FW to try please?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Probably won't help, but enabled it anyway
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Thanks, I will test it tomorrow. If it doesn't help I'll be scratching my head. I don't use the car from late November until mid January and this has never occurred before until I came back and updated.

I'll report back.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Nothing changed on the AAWireless side, you been on 3.0.0 since september. However, there's one big change, and that's the upgrade to Android 14 on your S22 Ultra on January. Samsung seems to have messed up AA on Android 14, so I'm not too surprised. In fact, these things happen every time when a new phone (even Pixels) or a major OS upgrade is released. And then we basically act as a **** funnel, until the problems have been resolved.

[rant-mode-on]

In my opinion I think it's a bit unfair all the crap Google gets on the internet of Android Auto being unstable. While in most cases it's actually the phone manufacturers messing things up (thank you Xiaomi) or the car manufacturers having a horrible AA implementation (looking at you GM).

CarPlay in that sense is "better", because everyone has a phone from the same manufacturer, so there's way more control. However on the car side it's even worse than AA, mainly because the protocol complexity is way higher. Horrible mess.

[Android Auto General] teschke:
Good evening. I need your help. Yesterday I updated my AAWireless 1st generation (2021) to 3.3.1 and it stopped working with my phone. Before that I worked on 3.0.0 and on 3.2.1. Is it possible to roll back to 3.0.0 or 3.2.1? Discover Media MIB 2
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, but I'd first try to clear all phones on the car side. Blinking blue or solid blue I guess?
[Android Auto General] teschke:
Blinking blau. I already tried and reset everything to factory settings. But the result is the same.
[Android Auto General] Saison2018:
I can't offer a solution but I can confirm that I often got trouble with updates and I need to reset everything (AAWireless box, force stop application and cleared everything to start from scratch).

I always managed to get things sorted but this is painful. I space out updates more and more in order to keep a functional setup as long/often as possible.

Now I have a Pixel 8 and 1st gen AAW, but was also the case with my Pixel 5.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
What's the Bluetooth name of your device? I'll revert your device to 3.2.1.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Resetting AAW doesn't really do anything except for resetting the settings to defaults (most people use the defaults) and clearing all connected phones, which only possibly make things worse, because the phone side pairing is still there, and device side is gone. In would advice against resetting the device in most cases. It just won't help. Rebooting the HU, resetting the HU, rebooting the phone, clearing cache data of AA has way more effect.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Before you revert to the previous firmware, please check if the AA icon on the HU is active in "App Connect" when blinking blue. And if so, please press it. It's possible that on 3.3.1 AA won't show up automatically the first time.
[Android Auto General] teschke:
ok
[Android Auto General] teschke:
Everything worked out, thank you very much everyone for your help. Special thanks to Snirpo. It works again, I will continue to enjoy AAWireless. This device is super ..I tried other models, but this one works stably with Discover media MIB2.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Was this indeed the problem? Having to manually press the AA button?
[Android Auto General] teschke:
To be honest, I still didn’t understand what the reason was. I reset everything to factory settings. I made all the connections again, and everything worked out. Having gone into AA it was already active. For testing, I reset it again to the factory ones. Once again I made all the connections again. I received a letter from technical support, they activated 3.2.1. But before updating, I want to test 3.3.1.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Ok, I now see I have a really strange problem and it's my whole headunit that does this muting thing when I go near speed cameras. I only ever use AA so figured that was the issue, and everything seems fine on the Samsung side since going to A14, which I didn't get until almost two weeks after I was back (an annoyance all round at how long it took to get it). So everything is techincally great and I'll need to work it out with VW what is going on it's sooo strange.

Can you please put me back on the regular release channel and I'll get updates as they come, thanks for your help.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No problem, you're back on 3.3.1!
[Android Auto General] r0x:
Still can't get CP to autofocus on startup, sometimes it works, but in 99% not. Whith AA it worked perfectly.

And just for my understanding, if I'm using CP with AAWireless, what should I activate in the Headunit, AndroidAuto, Carplay or both?
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
The new settings page for CarPlay is nice but can you also add the "Startup Delay" option to CarPlay settings? Also can you increase the max value of "USB connect delay" slider from 2000 to 5000? I had it on 5000 but accidentally moved the slider and now I can't get it back. On 2000 and lower I have connection issues, it either takes one cycle of blinking green light to connect or it connects for a second and then disconnects and then on the next cycle connects and stays connected. When it was on 5000 I had no issue and the phone connected on the first try. My car is 2019 Kia Sportage.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Startup delay is a generic setting, works for both AA and CP. 2000 is too low indeed, we'll fix that.
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
“USB connect delay” has a max value of 2000, not “Startup Delay”.

When I open https://aawireless.app/ on my iPhone then I don’t even see the “Startup Delay” option.

Edit: this is the view I have.

My bigger issue is the USB connect delay. Everything was working perfectly with a delay of 5000ms, now with 2000ms I have connection issues.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Aaaah sorry, didn't realize you were talking about the webapp. Will check.
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
Wow now that’s some fast support. Settings are now available and working. Thanks!
[Android Auto General] l3s:
@Snirpo

I'm very happy with my device everything works very good but the only thing where I did not found a solution yet is the WhatsApp audio.

That plays over only on the phone speaker.

I am using Pixel 8 Pro + Alpine iLX-F905d + AAWireless is on firebase app version.

If the dongle mode is enabled that resolve the problem but I need the DPI change option for this reason dongle mode off, Passthrough off

As I said everything works well, phone calls, media plays on the car audio, but the WhatsApp calls and also the Voice notes are playing only on the phone speaker. I have tried to enabled/disabled media audio in the Bluetooth settings for the Alpine device but that was not making any changes.

Do you have any suggestions what else can I try to make WhatsApp audio working?
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
What does the newest release in beta exactly mean?

Android Auto

Make the "Mazda fix" disabled by default for already in use devices, because it breaks some GM and Ford cars with already "paired" AAWireless devices. Will be enabled by default after factory reset.

I have an Mazda, anything to do here for me?
[Android Auto General] Silvio1977:
I drive a Mercedes W205 and use AA over CP for full screen. Now I always have the phenomenon that if I switch off the engine, get out, fill up the tank and don't lock the car because there are still people sitting in it, AAW can no longer start CP. I then have to restart the car radio by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. Is there a setting here that I could test?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Very hard to explain, hence the changelog being a bit vague. Bassiccly we did a change for Mazda's to fix blinking blue. Some HU's pair the USB serial of the device to the HFP mac address of the phone. So when you switch to a new phone, AAW will stop working. So what we did is append an unique identifier per paired phone to the USB serial. This was hardcoded functionality in 3.3.1. in 3.3.2 it's a (not yet publicly available) setting.

But what's happening now (after the update to 3.3.1) is that HU's get confused because they expect the old static USB serial. This can result in either blinking blue or solid blue (mostly on GM). So we are breaking people's current working setups. You either have to clear all phones on the HU or reset the HU to fix this. This is pretty hard to explain to people and understandably makes people angry and annoyed.

This is increasing our support load + generates bad reviews ("I updated to the latest firmware, now everything is broken, you suck"). So we decided to make this functionality disabled when you update your device from an older firmware to 3.3.2.

However there's one catch, this can potentially re-break people's setups when you upgrade from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2. I can imagine this is annoying, but updates to 3.3.1 have been mostly in beta, which has a disclaimer. It's either breaking a few setups of the 10k who already updated to 3.3.1, or breaking potentially a lot more working setups.

In the end it's about making stuff better, but because of legacy and crappy HU logic we can't really push this.
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
But in summary, are now problems with blinking blue LED on Mazda possible again?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
In short yes, so if you had that issue, please stay on 3.3.1
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
Okay, so, any chance to get back to 3.3.1 just in case?
[Android Auto General] noodles222:
Hi all,

I have purchased dash camera 70mai and would like to connect to it over wifi, but I cant as AAwireless is always connecting. Is there any chance I can be connected to both? if so, how to do that? what kind of settings I need to have in AAwireless settings? If I disconnect AA, dash cam connection works.
[Android Auto General] Jochen Scheuerer:
What FW version you have on your AAW Box installed ? Latest Beta with 3.3.1? or less e.g. 3.2.1? I can confirm, that with the 3.3.1 and all new alpha version e.g. 3.4.0.xxx it works for me in my A205 fron 2019.

I have tested this once more a couple of hours ago, as my car is still in an "wintersleep" in the garage. So HU and AAW etc, the whole stuff were running fine. Then I opened the car's driver door, and the HU was going black. AAW still has USB Power for ~15min in this case. So I was getting out left the car WITH my S23U, and was walking so far away, that WLAN and BT was not more connected. (Nice to see in shoucut bar). The car was NOT closed by the key. Then I was walking back to the car, open the door, switch on the power to postion 1, that the HU will start, and the AAW was coming up, as it should be in AA over CP mode. Made a testcall, incoming and outgoing, everything fine. So my supermarket, or gasstation case works. What doenst work is a smoove handover back, when a iPhone was connected and a AA e.g. my S23U shall become active. In this case (within the 15min) I need to reboot the HU by pressing long the Powerbutton, because the HU thinks, that still the iPhone is connected. As this is not my daily usecase, it is m.o.l. unrelevant for me.
[Android Auto General] Silvio1977:
Thank you for your feedback. I also have the latest alpha versions and currently back to 3.3.2. Maybe it's because my S22 stays in the car while I refuel.
[Android Auto General] teschke:
qq
[Android Auto General] teschke:
Serpo yes you were right. That was the problem. I bought myself AAWireless 2. Generation (2023). I encountered the same problem upon launch.

Only mine is a little different.

Print device list at bottom left.

Then print AAWireless and confirm the message.

After updating to 3.3.2 beta get disconnections.

I ended up going back to 3.2.1

Android Auto, CarPlay?
[Android Auto General] jv.batista:
Hello peeps,

Today I was confronted with a weird behavior that I'm thinking was caused by the new Android Auto version. Last week I've updated to 3.3.1 and used it without any issues but this morning AA kept rebooting even after updating to 3.3.2 issue still was present. After work did a factory reset and it went back to normal until I started setting it up has I had before. After enabling remove tap restriction, reboots came back so I'm guessing that that option+v.11.2.640434 is causing it to go haywire. Has anyone come across something similar?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Interesting, will try. It's a way way hacky feature anyway, if it causes issue, we'll just remove it from the app.
[Android Auto General] zaang:
Android auto
[Android Auto General] jv.batista:
I can see the usefulness of it but as a developer myself I can also understand that if it's causing issues maybe it's something to disable and evaluate if it's feasible to bring back or not worth the hassle. It's just a bit weird that google locks it instead of giving you the possibility to bypass it...
[Android Auto General] Silvio1977:
What settings have you made on your AAW? Maybe I can find the difference here
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Weird, can you potentially send a bug report (settings --> top right icon). Debug mode does not have to be enabled. Please also give your device's BT name.

[Android Auto General] Silvio1977:
This means your car has MBUX and not Comand Online NTG5.5 like in my car?
[Android Auto General] Jochen Scheuerer:
No. There is an classic Comand with the newer wider Screen in use. NO MBUX

Whey you think MBUX?
[Android Auto General] Silvio1977:
A few weeks ago I had the S206 with the large display as a rental car and was thrilled. AA is basically wireless and perfectly integrated into the entire system. You can no longer compare that with our Comand.
[Android Auto General] cherryPie1980:
Thanks @Snirpo I do have a question on this rollout.

I have stabilized my AAWireless device (this was one of the original devices way back in 2021) and it has finally been stable with 3.2.1. My huawei phone (i know it is not official supported) has finally gotten direct connection and therefore no lags or drops in the connection.

With this in mind, is it recommended for users to keep aawireless updated to the latest release or keep the version that is most stable for our situation.

Finally got this thing to work and not drop!!!!!!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
3.3.x should work fine.
[Android Auto General] corwest:
So strange issue I’ve never encountered. 2016 Chevy Silverado with MyLink, using Aawireless newest model with CarPlay version 3.3.1. iPhone 15 Pro Max on 17.3.1. It’s connecting fine on startup and works great for about 3 to 5 minutes and then it’s actually causing the head unit to crash and do a hard restart. Never seen the head unit do that before but it’s consistent with the CarPlay over aawireless. After it restarts it boots up and reconnects fine to aawireless but will do the cycle all over again in 3 to 5 mins. Also seems like the steering wheel skip and back buttons don’t work. Volume buttons work fine, voice assistant button works fine just skip/back doesn’t.
[Android Auto General] tOOmki:
After the last or second to last AA update.

When I start the car, the message "Device protection privacy consent" appears on the car screen.

Car: Opel Zafira 2017

Only I had another phone, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro.

The solution was modified firmware.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
So I fixed this issue, and with testing help here I can confirm that a few things happened near the same time, after everything being so good last year. Only using AA in the car any kind of hiccup is blamed on AA, and possibly AAW if I have gotten an update. In this case I had updated AAW, and ALSO did an update on every FW I could on my infotainment, including FINALLY updatin gthe POI's. I don't really use the inbuilt stuff but it's nice to have it updated just in case.

I had no idea that this POI update came with a bunch of POI's in some sort of live state, including many speed camera related ones. I didn't even know the car had this functionality until I worked out it was not AAW, was happening in any type of input through the infotainment. Before I went to VW to ask them to get rid of this issue I googled and found a guy with an Audi trying to enable this exact type of feature, so I looked and found these POI's, deleted them and it's been back to normal every since!

All these updates, and then my phone finally getting A14 as well, but no issues with that, things are normal. Though I am not liking A14 on S24 phones, a few little things that are cool are gone, which would be annoying. This is with V6, hopefully if I get 6.1 these things will not overide and become standard on my phone too.
[Android Auto General] knighthw2:
I've been using DPI 135 for months for my 8.4-inch screen on a GM MyLink2 system. Since the last Android Auto update, the icon bar has returned to horizontal and only goes vertical if I set the DPI to 103, but then everything becomes too small. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah is a change in AA, nothing we can do about it, same happens on TeslAA.
