One thing I wanted to mention is my experience with the Aawireless setup app. On both of my phone's when I got to step 3 The app could never find the connection to the Aawireless device.

I went in and manually connected via my phone settings and then everything started working right away. Exact same experience on both phones so maybe some room for improvement there.
[Android Auto General] exge:
ok an update to this, tasker made it automatic again haha, but it would seem there is a new firmware 1.3.0 lets try that and see how it goes.

I have a mustang with Ford sync 3 and my phone is a Galaxy note 20 ultra. My as wireless randomly freezes and disconnects from the car a few seconds later. Sometimes it will reconnect and sometimes I have to unplug and replug it. However, it will always disconnect at some point after I start the connection. I have a feeling it may be the phone going in deep sleep and cutting out wifi. Is anyone here having same problem and found a solution to it?
[Android Auto General] FrankieG64:
Not sure if you tried this in your quest to getting AAwireless to work. I have a 2020 Ram 1500 with Uconnect. I had some hiccups initially with setting it up. Eventually after installing the latest AAwireless firmware and app, I cleared the app data and cache, and then deleted AAWireless from the Uconnect's Projection Manager settings. Unplugged AAwireless, then started the setup process again. Has been working flawlessly for over a month.
[Android Auto General] Nands_2012:
Did you do anything further to get it connected to the Audi MMI?
[Android Auto General] Nands_2012:
Did you get it working? Doesn't work for me.
[Android Auto General] flroots:
I've read the most recent update in which they are unable to estimate delivery time., but I wonder if a rough estimate can't be had from the following formula:

EDIW = (YOID - LSID) / AWUS

where

EDIW = estimated delivery in weeks​

YOID = your own ID​

LSID = last shipped ID​

AWUS = average weekly units shipped​

For example, I might try (41000 - 11000)/3000 for myself which would yield 10 weeks (or Aug 15, 2021). Comments welcome
[Android Auto General] dallasnights:
I love the app and I love the product it works great on my Camaro with my z flip however for some strange reason maps doesn't seem to have 100% correctness on the GPS is there a settings I need to do to fix this it seems like when I'm driving the GPS is always maybe 30 seconds to a minute away from what's on the map to what I'm really at and driving thanks again for your support look forward to updates and also a solution to this one
[Android Auto General] Nudnik_de:
Yes working like a charm. I deleted BT cache and all settings I could find that relate to AA Wireless, installed the latest Android Auto version plus Android Auto for smartphones and connected the AAWireless to a wallcharger. Got everything working until device flashing blue. Then went to car and it just worked...
[Android Auto General] deadman1717:
I got it working with a simple Automate flow. The flow is checking if the AAWirless device gets connected by bt. If so, it starts up the Spotify App and pauses 30 seconds. I'm not sure what exactly it is with this flow that solves the issue, but its been working fine now for multiple weeks.
[Android Auto General] jmahone:
Greetings!

I was a little late to the party to chip in my $ for the AAW unit, and later even still to realize this forum existed.

Car: 2018 VW Jetta 1.4T S (base model)

HU: Pioneer AVH-2300NEX (with iDataLink Maestro)

Phone: OnePlus 7 Pro running Android 10 (I've read that the combination of Android 11 and the OnePlus skin are a mess, so I've avoided Android 11 for now)

AAW Config App: v1.8.3

AAW: came this past week with 1.2.1 loaded (downloaded v1.3.0 but not yet OTA'ed it to the AAW. unit)

Observations:

1) From reading through 50 pages of this thread, I discovered that putting the AAW unit in "Passthrough" mode made the slightly distorted display correct (like it had been when I was connected via cable). Otherwise, it looks like the display is "squashed a bit", giving it a stretched-out look. But when in Passthrough mode, the aspect ratio looks correct.

2) " ", I discovered that taking the AAW unit out of Passthrough mode and selecting "Adjust audio timestamp" to ON may fix the audio dropouts I've been experiencing.

So, since I would rather have clean audio and suffer the slightly odd HU display, I went for adjusting the audio timestamp.

The jury is still out on if this did fix the dropouts since I've only had one 20 min drive. So far, so good. I think I only had one dropout, but not even sure about that.

I have been lucky and have not had any HU crashes (wired or wireless) at any time, so I feel like I was spared a lot of drama there.

3) Since I opted to turn Passthrough mode back to OFF, I adjusted my DPI to 103 to see if the Pioneer would go to split-screen mode, and it does! I'm not sure I'll keep it this way, but for now, it's pretty cool, actually.

Questions:

1) Is there a changelog for the AAW unit itself?

1a) Is there a way to install a previous version if the latest version messes something up for my particular car/HU/phone combination?

2) Why do I feel like I'm the only one with v1.2.1? I read pages and pages of 1.2.0 and then suddenly 1.2.3. And now, I see we are at 1.3.0. I have downloaded version 1.3.0 but not uploaded OTA to the unit.

See this example from the thread from someone who is/was also confused:

First batch: 1.2.0

Second batch: 1.2.3

3) This brings me to my next question: Can someone iterate a simple list of steps to do the OTA upload? I assumed I could just push the button on the OTA screen when I was out in the car with the AAW unit, but I've also read folks saying that they brought it inside and connected it to a USB wall charger. Confused about the current state of how to do this.

Things I haven't yet tested (since I was really focused on audio from Spotify, initially)

1) Phone calls

2) Maps/GPS performance, since I've read issues here

3) Steering wheel controls (since I have the iDataLink Maestro rigged up with the Pioneer and the Jetta's steering wheel controls)

Thanks to the development team, testers, and everyone on this forum!

Thanks,

Jerry

I have the same truck. 2020 GMC Sierra w/navigation radio. Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus.

My set up is. Pass through on, connection set to Direct and I have the wifi set to force 2.4

I had the same issues as you trying to get the first time connection. But after removing my phone from the truck and re-pairing it has been working good for two weeks.
[Android Auto General] Flame Red:
As a new user, I had the same question, but if you go into the AA application while in the car and connected to the AA, there is a Firmware Update selection in the app and it will tell you your current version and if an update is available. Start your car's engine to make sure it won't loose power during the update. Takes a few minutes to download the update, a minute or so to apply it, and a minute or so for a update and reboot. Very seemless and well done. Easiest way to do it!
[Android Auto General] Government Pig:
Long time lurker here as well. It seems like the Chevy/GM guys are having a lot of problems still? My 2017 Corvette is doing the thing where at best it'll flash blue, my phone will claim it connected to my car, the dongle will show up in the car's AA device list, but won't connect to it or project from it. This happens regardless of settings unfortunately.

I'm running on 1.3.0 for reference. Phone connects perfectly via USB. Any hints or tips from fellow Chevy people that got it working?
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
The developers tell me that version 1.9.1 of the app and firmware version 1.4.0 are working their way out to all users now.

When the play store updates your app, update the firmware to 1.4.0 with the OTA. Once both are updated, unplug and then plug in the device.

Using the app, set the USB mode to 'Default'. Your GM, Nissan or Peugeot vehicle should connect to the head unit and display AA just like it did with your phone on a cable.

The 'Default' mode is set up in a way where the head unit asks specifically for the interfaces provided by the AAWireless device before making a faulty assumption about which modes the device supports.

It has been predicted that the 'Default' USB mode will work with any head unit in any vehicle that supports cabled Android Auto. If you care to try it once you have the app and the firmware; let us know if it does not work in your car. You may, of course continue to use any USB mode that works for you. The old modes have not changed.

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Update to 1.4.0 and switch the USB mode to "default" :)
[Android Auto General] AxelF150:
I received my unit yesterday - connected like a charm to my 2020 F150 Sync3. Phone is Galaxy S9+

2 problems:

1)I can't use my Wifi hotspot which I need, it says connected without internet. Has anybody found a workaround that they can make a clueless idjit like me understand? (tried to read through the forum and had to give up).

2) I can't get neither Google maps nor Waze out of night mode. Is there a simple solution to that?

Btw: I need the hotspot coverage for a lot of areas in the FL panhandle and LA (Lower Alabama - not the other one :))

Thanks to all y'all for trying and finding the tweaks!
[Android Auto General] Government Pig:
Geez Louise that timing! I went to work with 1.3.0 being the latest update, read this thread, and updated to 1.4.0 just before leaving work. It hooked up perfectly with default settings.

Anybody else having trouble on their Chevy (I think I read one guy freaking out in his Camaro a month ago) try it again, I bet it'll work now.
[Android Auto General] b.st0ne:
Bumping this hoping someone has a resolution
[Android Auto General] dzeidzei:
Passat GTE (2018) owner reporting in. AAwireless has been working almost flawlessly since app got the working start/stop functionality. Only problem I have is quite rare (less than 1 out of 10 times) occurrence when AA does not start at all. Phone connects to bluetooth but nothing happens. Starting AAWireless app does not help either, seems to connect device just fine (shows settings). Only turning the car off has been so far the solution. Any thoughts from anyone?
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Ford sync 3 is a head unit that works well with AAWireless, and your Galaxy Note 20 ultra should work well with AAWireless too.

Here is a link to the settings I use on my Galaxy S20 FE. My AAWireless settings

You may also try Force 2.4Ghz WiFi. Mine cuts out using 5Ghz at the same place every time I pass it. Some 5Ghz radio interference in that area kills my WiFi.

You might also try updating the app with the Play Store. Then running the OTA to get to firmware 1.4.

[Android Auto General] pfarley11:
Hi,

Is there a changelog somewhere for the AAW updates, by chance?

Thanks,

Patrick
[Android Auto General] Kaito23:
Hi together,

my aawireless is not creating a wifi / bt connection anymore. It keeps booting (always the solid green led)

Reset is not working. Anyone else having this problem?
[Android Auto General] DevilMayLaughXD:
hi guys, may I know how can I enrol in the beta program?
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
@Kaito23

I have seen this problem when Start / Stop is enabled. Use the app to disable Start / Stop. The developers are still working out how to solve Start / Stop for everyone. For now, keep it disabled until you hear further word on it. You can unplug the device when you leave the car for now.

LeRoy
[Android Auto General] Kaito23:
@tallleroy I can not connect the app to the device :D

So it is a bit hard to change settings
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
When I got into your situation @Kaito23 , I thought I had fried my device, but I eventually got to the settings page with patience. You might try plugging the device into a charger USB port, wait 30 seconds after power on and then select Settings in the app. Yes, the LED was green all of the time in this state.

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Probably defective, please contact support at https://cpeb.freshdesk.com
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
For now it's in Indiegogo updates, in the future it will be built into the app. Version 1.10 of the app will be a bigger update with some improvements like better bug report, change log and probably also (push) notifications for firmware updates.
[Android Auto General] pfarley11:
Great. Thanks
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I was going to report on testing my AAW with a different phone, I have my S20+ being looked at by Samsung so I borrowed a Motorola One Vision and it seemed great. Set it up yesterday for the drive home, did the developer settings and all seemed find.

Since then it didn't work again and I tried a few things this morning, including doing the 1.4 update, but the outcome so far is the same. Headunit is waiting for something, the AAW is flashing blue. The phone has wifi connection to AAW and BT as well, plus BT to the car. The phone says I'm connected but also says it's waiting.

Any ideas? I did forget the AAW BT and uninstall the app but still didn't work. All these connections were first made yesterday. I tried a few modes. Yesterday I'm pretty sure it was running in Direct. Default, Direct, MTP, Passthrough all no good it seems. Bit of a head scratcher.
[Android Auto General] limited73:
Hope the 1.4 update wasn't the fix for Nissan because still not working...
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Firmware 1.4 was supposed to fix the Nissan problem. USB Mode has to be set to 'Default' in the Settings with the app. Then disconnect and reconnect the device. This method has cured several Nissan models when we were testing it.

Avoid Start / Stop for now.

[Android Auto General] limited73:
Tried all the usb modes with no change in behavior. Can still manage to get the solid blue light but stuck on looking for android auto.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Cables people cables¡

Cables, cables cables!!!

I finally got the Motorola I'm using for hopefully a few days going. This afternoon I could see it was doing everything but the headunit was not seeing it for some reason, though nothing had changed since yesterday when it worked that one time.

I brought it inside and reset it on a power supply, took it back to the car and re-did setup from scratch. Same outcome, flashing blue light, waiting for the headunit.

Decided to try my other shorter cable I had before (I went back to using the cables AAW came with due to other testing) and viola, it worked right away and worked again coming home.

Now, I drove home yesterday with the Motorola and 1.3 FW but it seemed quite good. Now I'm on 1.4 and music seems really good, so far. Hopefully this continues when I am using my S20+ again, but earlier this week I used it after a factory reset and I did notice a lot more glitching in the music than of late, sort of like it gets a bit better over time, but still does the odd glitch? I also experienced my first reboot of the AAW device in a while. Headunit did not reset, it was the AAW unit. Not sure how scientific that is.

Either way, I was looking forward to at least seeing how life is with a different phone to compare, so now I will be playing music all the time and then see how it goes with the Samsung later.

I am still noticing on this phone just now that Google doesn't mute the music playing to hear me speak/respond. The music is quieter when Google says something, but when it's waiting to hear from me the music stays at playing volume. Odd. I should test it with a cable.
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
Yes, cables are important! I'm glad to see it seems to be working for you now. As for the speak/respond issue, I have the same issue sometimes. It seems to be random though, usually it works as expected but sometimes it does exactly what you describe. More interesting is that it starts out working properly, but then after 2 or 3 voice commands it stops muting the music. If I have the music volume low, I can still use voice commands, but if it is turned up, it can't hear my voice over the music. This continues until I disconnect and reconnect to the AAWireless. I have tested with a cable, but have not seen this happen. Unfortunately, that isn't definitive because it is sporadic when it happens, but I will say that I did not have this happening before switching to AAWireless. I'm interested to hear if you have the problem when connected over a cable.
[Android Auto General] alaskazachguy:
I've had a pretty intermittent AAwireless experience, and I thought 1.3.0 finally got it working smoothly. It worked great for a few days in a row without any problems, then suddenly the wifi refuses to connect. I connect on bluetooth, I can change settings on the device, but it never seems to actually connect to the wifi portion. The light on the device blinks green, and there's no change on the head unit. I can't upgrade to 1.4.0, as it says its trying to connect to the device.

Thoughts?

[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
Try disconnecting the AAWireless from your car and connecting it to a wall plug. If you can connect to the settings, I believe you should be able to do the 1.4.0 update. I had a problem updating when connected to the head unit, but taking it out of the car and plugging it into the wall fixed that for me.

Also, @alaskazachguy once you do get it updated, go into settings and try setting USB Mode to "Default" ... It fixes problems for a lot of folks and may make it better for you as well.
[Android Auto General] mc01319:
I confirm that with the "Default" USB setting I have successful functionality with my Nissan Qashqai 2019 J11 and Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G.
[Android Auto General] alaskazachguy:
Unfortunately even after resetting everything I can find to reset and plugging into a wall, and starting the setup from scratch,it still doesn't want to connect even enough to upgrade the firmware. Not sure what else I can try.

Edit: It's gotten worse. After a reset (pin press for 5 seconds) now the LED is green for about 8 seconds straight, goes out, then back to green for 8 seconds straight, rinse, repeat. Makes me think its in a boot loop. It does this regardless of if its powered into the car or a wall charger.

[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
My experience today using the loaner phone via the different cable to last week.

Initially good in regards to audio dropouts, I was thinking, wow, is it my Samsung and this mid tier phone works better? But then the audio glitches came around. The worst one just now on the way home where it stopped completely for many seconds and then I got a new kind of error.

Previously in my VAG cars the headunit hasn't rebooted, but it seems the AA connection was able to be killed and then it will pick it up back up. This time I got a message about APP Connect and I was kicked into the Vehicle Status screen. For the rest of the trip it would not re-connect again. Appconnect didn't do anything and AAW was blinking green, so wasn't connecting to my phone again.

I will be driving again soon so I'll see if it will work next drive.

The audio issue with the Assistant and music. I did a test and right away the Assistant doesn't lower the volume to hear me speak, I have to compete with the volume the music is set to, but when it is talking it lowers the music volume.

I'll drive a bit more with AAW and then use a cable to compare experiences.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
It worked fine the rest of the afternoon, not very glitchy with 1.40 and this other phone, but it can glitch. Still a great experience being wireless.

Next I'll use a cable and see if the Assistant audio muting thing is still happening.
[Android Auto General] djbolden:
For what it's worth regarding the music playing during interaction with Assistant...

I have the AAWireless in my truck with Ford Sync 3. I also have a car with an aftermarket Kenwood unit with native AA wireless capability. At least a couple of times now it has continued to play music - lower while Assistant is speaking and sometimes still lower while I answer, but I think a couple of time the music has returned to full volume while I was talking. I'll pay more attention - maybe this is an AA bug???
[Android Auto General] benhur06:
Hello all.

I report a problem with AA (not AAwireless).

Phone : Samsung S10e

Car : Audi A1 40 TFSI with Bang & Olufsen sound (https://corporate.bang-olufsen.com/en/partners/automotive/audi/a1)

For me, AAwireless is working good. No problem of connection, and until now, no disconnection.

I m using AAwireless mostly to have AA connected automatically, without cable, on the MMI, to display a GPS into the MMI (Google, Waze or Sygic)

AAwireless is working really good, but as soon AA connect to the car, the music change dramatically.

The MMI continue to play the music (source is a SD card) but the sound lost the spatialisation, the treble and the bass, and become "flat". The "11 active speakers - Class-D technology - 16-channel amplifier - 560 watts - Symphoria® Virtual 3D algorithm - by Fraunhofer IIS" from Bang & Olufsen are dead. Killed by AA.

AA take the control of the sound system of the car, and ruins it.

I can understand that a GPS or an other application need to play sounds, but why do not simply play those sounds thru the car system, without erasing it ?

please forgive me my poor english

Sounds like a problem in the head unit software itself :/

[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Did you enable "Remove tap restriction" ? If so, try disabling it again. You should also try "Force 2.4Ghz" if that has no effect. Enabling "Passthrough" would rule out some things too if both of those don't work.
[Android Auto General] JimmyDoodle:
Thanks, Emil.

Just got my AA Wireless unit yesterday. The setup was very easy, the OTA upgrade from 1.2.0 to 1.4.0 was flawless, and the device works perfectly. Love it so far!!

[Android Auto General] ahecht:
I have been experiencing what I think are constant intermittent problems with audio sinking.

After the latest 1.4.0 firmware update, my Pixel 3a is connecting reliably with the MyLink in my 2018 Chevrolet Volt. The picture is great, but the audio cuts out briefly somewhere between once every second and once every 10 seconds.

Sometimes, if the volume on my phone is high enough, I can hear the audio come out of my phone's speakers for a split second while it is cutting out on my car's speaker, which is why I think it's an audio sinking problem. The audio works fine when I plug AAWireless's cable directly into my phone instead, or when I'm just playing audio over the car's bluetooth.

Enabling or disabling passthrough made no difference, and neither did forcing 2.4Ghz. I don't have "disable tap restriction" turned on.
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
Experiencing the same issue on my Pixel 2XL with my Kenwood head unit. I never had the issue with versions prior to 1.4. Using Waze voice guidance and YT music.
[Android Auto General] ahecht:
I don't think 1.4 caused the issue. When I could get it to connect with 1.2 it had the same problem. I was more saying that 1.4 didn't fix the issue.
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
The issue is new to me on 1.4. The only prior audio related issue I had on previous versions was answering incoming calls.
[Android Auto General] janz25:
Thanks. I never enabled the remove tap restriction and oh yes, i set my usb at default. Whilst i did tried the options to enable passthru and also 2.4ghz on fw 1.3, i still experiencing stuttering audio. But, i will try those options again on this firmware.
