@Snirpo :

Thanks a lot for your work.I appreciate if you can read about this personal request. I would like to be able to select disable tts navigation audio and multimedia setting from the aawireless application on the screen that has in Android Auto icons. The issue is that I mainly use the dongle because my daughter watches YouTube on her phone while we drive, but I don't want to hear the videos on the head unit, so I have to disable both outputs for the media and for the play/stop button that comes with the tts navigation. However, when I drop her off at school and want to listen to music again, I have to reopen the application on my phone. It would be tremendously easier and more useful to be able to make these configuration changes from the head unit screen. Thank you very much for considering this.

Hi,

6 months ago I purchased this device and immediately fell in love with it. It worked first time and has never given me any problems. It hasn't been connected for a few days (I think after a firmware update). I also tried to perform a reset... now the light always flashes green and it doesn't pair with any phone (I tried 4). The device still has the warranty but the assistance is not helping me...I am very disappointed
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
Could you please email us at support@aawireless.io regarding this? Never seen this issue before with AAoverCP.
[Android Auto General] soniacpebit:
I cannot seem to identify your ticket. Could you please send us another email at support@aawireless.io? I would like to take a closer look at this issue.
[Android Auto General] PapaWago:
Using aawireless on my wife's 2019 e-class on the AA over carplay (to make use of the full screen) and find that whilst media audio plays through the car speakers just fine other audio such as Google assistant players through the phone speaker. Also incoming phone calls tend to close the AA session and then we're unable to answer the call either using AA or the mercedes UI.

Is there some setting on the phone or the AAwireless that I need to change to fix this.

Running in the latest AaWireless beta btw

@Snirpo

I have a 2023 Opel Mokka B and I have never been able to get Android Auto to start automatically without having to touch the screen (I have the automatic start option activated).

Today I started Android Auto over CarPlay and it starts automatically... however the Google Assistant stops working.
[Android Auto General] TheJ0rm4:
Why is the restart button gone from the aawireless notification that pops up when using start/stop? It was really convenient for fixing spotify when it crashes on startup.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We can re-add it. Thought it wasn't very useful.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah common thing. A few of my test HU's do the same thing. CP always gets focus. With AA it's random, or on some only on first connection, afterwards not anymore. Not something we can really fix.
[Android Auto General] TheJ0rm4:
Would be great to have it back. I was back on android 13 for a while and can't remember spotify crashing. Now I'm on 14 and spotify has like 25% chance of crashing when launching android auto.
[Android Auto General] Jochen Scheuerer:
which kind of settings you have enAbele in AAW Settings? Have you deleted all other basic BT pairings? So only an pairing between AAW and the HU from the Comand is allowed.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Fyi. The problem with the Honor Magic 6 Pro not working with AAW (immediately disconnecting) has been fixed in the latest update of the phone. Please update the firmware of your phone to fix the issue.

Some information on what was actually happening:

The problem was AAWireless not providing a gateway via DHCP, which made the phone immediately disconnect after initial connect. The MA1 does provide a gateway, which is why it did not have the same issue. However, providing a gateway is actually incorrect, because the device cannot provide an internet connection obviously. So on the MA1 it actually worked, because it's doing it wrong.

Fortunaly Honor fixed the issue, so we don't have to work around it.
[Android Auto General] Marco2k:
+1. I've tried removing other BT connections but still issues with phone calls. It was working fine until a couple of weeks ago though.
[Android Auto General] Jochen Scheuerer:
In you are using the beta Version, you should be able to upload Debug files to the Support from aawireless.io. They will analyse the log, and will take care that you get Support. You need to inform them, that you have uploaded your debug file.

[Android Auto General] Larzouz:
Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to configure aawireless to use the GPS antenna of the car (and all its localization services, accelerometers, wheel speed, wheel angles etc…) instead of the GPS antenna of the phone.

This would improve a lot the precision of the localization in tunnels and area with low or no GPS signal

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
My guess is it works how AA works, as per Google's setup, and would use the phone GPS as every phone has one, though not every car has GPS built in.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
AA does that by default if your car supports it. AAWireless has no control over this.
[Android Auto General] Larzouz:
Thanks for the quick answer.

My car has definitely the ability to support this.

I tested this with CarPlay AI box where you can force the « GPS antenna » you want to use.

But I am almost sure aawireless uses the phone GPS (very bad location in tunnels).

Is there a way to check which GPS is used?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I can check in the backend wether the car provides location data. Need the Bluetooth name of the device for that.

But again, AAWireless does not touch the location data from the car. However there is a chance that there somehow is a bug in the intercepting logic of AAWireless, to exclude that, turn on passthrough mode. In passthrough mode, AAWireless does not touch the data at all. Straight byte to byte copy to the phone. If the problem still exists, the only reason can be AA itself.

Also, if CarPlay provides location data, that does not mean the car will also provide it for AA.
[Android Auto General] Larzouz:
Thanks.

This is the Bluetooth name of my device :

ea:B0:13:E2:0D:1E

Passthrough is activated and dongle mode is deactivated.

Thanks for the help
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Unfortunately there's no car information available, since passthrough has always been enabled. Can you potentially disable passthrough?

However, since passthrough always was enabled, AAWireless does not intercept data, so it's an issue of either the car or AA itself.
[Android Auto General] maxkolonko123:
Can someone help with my issue, whenever I use AAwireless and play music trough YouTube all is fine till next song, basically song is playing but there is no sound and I need to pause and un-pause to have sound again

Probably an aftermarket car radio?
[Android Auto General] chkdsk90:
Not sure if im right here. Without the app android auto notification forwarder, i have completely no incoming notifications. i use aawireless with an pixel 8 pro. some months ago everything works fine. i cleared cache of android auto app and aawireless and made a factory reset. nothing worked for me. with the app android auto notification forwarder i get notifications for whatsapp, telegram ... but i can't answer messages. i can answer messages and it says it was sent, but nothing happens. any ideas for both problems?
[Android Auto General] maxkolonko123:
Of course otherwise why would I even need aawireless with OEM radio 😅😅

Aftermarket unit is Alpine ilx-f905d

If I connect phone with alpine by Bluetooth all is fine
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Did you check if you have the same issue with a wired connection? There should be zero difference between wired and wireless.

I will check our database for the same head unit. I actually had the same HU for testing a while ago, but never checked if it had GPS support or not.
[Android Auto General] Larzouz:
Hi,

I have disable passthrough now
[Android Auto General] maxkolonko123:
Will check it later wired, as don't remember now if I had tried that way or not. Apart that issues aa dongle works fine with alpine buddy 👍

Sometimes when i don't use it for a while it just doesn't connect saying I'm connected but don't have internet access, but then I just do wired connection phone with alpine and then back to aa dongle and its fine.
[Android Auto General] maxkolonko123:
@Snirpo

Tested wired, and didn't had issue with YouTube, next song play fine with sound

I am using AA wireless since years.

Now I would like to use it on my the screen in the car and at the same time on an old phone as HUD.

Is this possible?
[Android Auto General] Asiris8:
Hello,

I have been using AA with a Nothing Phone 1 and Hyundai Tucson phev for over 6 months, everything works ok except for phone calls.

Sometimes (about 75% of the time) during phone calls the microphone does not work, the interlocutor does not hear anything, I hear him ok, and I have to switch from bluetooth to the telephone headset to be able to have a conversation.

I tried with dongle mode on/off, with passthrough on/off, none of the settings seem to work.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Do you have any suggestion/solution?

Thank you

@Snirpo

Hello, I have 2 cars with 8" multimedia, a Jeep and a Chevy. In the Chevy, regardless of the DPI, the navigation bar stays horizontal, but in the Jeep it stays vertical. Are there no other options besides DPI to bypass AA, like choosing the resolution?

Because the Jeep always has a fixed vertical bar from multimidia and the Chevy is full screen on AA, certainly the resolution that the Jeep sends is different from the Chevy, even though both are 8"

Good morning.

for a few weeks my AAwireless used to connect to the machine almost instantly now, before it took about 10 minutes yesterday and today instead to connect it to the machine I had to disconnect and reconnect the cable that connects AAwireless to the machine. Could you advise me on some solutions?

Thank you

So I'm approaching 6 months on 2.1.0 and things have been running pretty smooth.

Is this just the max version I will be able to run on the OG hardware?

I'm not sure what else I might be missing out on with some of the other releases.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Not really. Firmware 3.x is mainly about CarPlay support, which the original version can't support anyway. Firmware 4.x will be mainly about AAWireless 2 support.

I can enable the latest firmware again if you want though.
[Android Auto General] Asiris8:
@Snirpo

any suggestions for my microphone problem using AA with Nothing Phone 1 and Hyundai Tucson?

Thank you
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
I have the same issue with Kia Sportage (basically same headunit) and carplay over aawireless. Have sent countless logs and tried many beta versions - issue still there. Hoping that 4.x helps.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Unfortunately not. If it doesn't work properly with dongle mode enabled / disabled and passthrough enabled / disabled, there's not so much we can do. Wired it works properly?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Which firmware are you on right now? I think we did some microphone related fixes in 4.x for CarPlay. You're talking about native CarPlay right? (with an iPhone).
[Android Auto General] aeropiloot:
I’m on 3.5 and yes native with an iPhone. My device is AAWireless-7ace8313
[Android Auto General] Asiris8:

Wired it works ok.

I have already tried all the suggested options dongle on/off passtrough on/off

@HofaTheRipper

I haven't tried this, I will try and let you know the result.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Maverick0984:
Was I an isolated case? The downgrade fixed all the issues I was having. I suppose if you haven't purposefully done anything that would have fixed anything for my situation, I should stick on 2.1.0 forever...

To remind, this was the last thing you had said:

"Very very odd to have the app go to it's "no devices paired" state while the device is still paired."

So that was my symptom if that helps jog your memory.

I would prefer not to be stuck on such an old release but also would even more prefer the device works for me.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
The "no devices paired" state of the app may actually have been a bug in the app. We fixed this a while ago.

Can try to enable the latest firmware. If it doesn't work properly you can downgrade again.
[Android Auto General] Maverick0984:
Alright, let's do that then.
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
@Snirpo is it possible to give me access for all 3.x versions and also access for the latest 4.x? In the beta AA wireless app i can only see 3.4.0 to update to. device id jDXWG8AQ

Unfortunately I face sometimes heavy drop outs during music playback when I enter the street where I live in. Would like to test if this is related to the current firmware on the device and change it to other of it occurs again.
[Android Auto General] TheVoid69:
Hi all, I'm thinking of buying an AAWireless. Can anyone tell me the startup time please? I wanted to be able to start the engine and then for AA to be on the screen within a few seconds.

The power to the USB ports turn on when the doors are opened, will AAWireless start to boot before the engine is on?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] jv.batista:
Yes. In my situation it's a bit hit or miss. Sometimes headunit picks it up right away, other times it takes a bit for it to start displaying but even in the worst case scenario its less than a minute, and if I'm impatient and either the phone or the car isn't picking it up I just pull the plug and plug it back in xD
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Depends on the car and phone .

Power to USB port helps, but not all cars are at that point immediately ready to start an AA connection. I know on (some) Kia/Hyundai's, AA will already start in the background, so the AA connection is almost immediate.

Phones can also be a bit funky at times, not accepting AA connections right away.

In general though its a few seconds up to 20 seconds for AA to start. Even in my girlfriends Fiat 500e with native wireless AA it can take up to 20 seconds.
[Android Auto General] TheVoid69:
Thanks all.

AAWireless or the Motorola MA1?
[Android Auto General] jv.batista:
AAW obviously
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If you don't care about switching phones or having CarPlay, it doesn't matter.
[Android Auto General] TheVoid69:
My AAW is arriving today. From looking at comments here, I have a few concerns:

- When setting up, would it be best to forget my phone in the Bluetooth settings on the cars unit or do a factory reset on the car unit? Otherwise it'll be connected to my phone as well as AAW connected to my phone?

- Are calls/'ok google' just as good as it would be if my phone was wired to the car?

- When new Android versions arrive such as Android 15/16 and so on, could AAW stop working or be rendered useless? I want to ensure I'm future proofed with this.

Battery drain - is it any different to if AAW was built into a car? Does it really drain it or are we just talking like 10% for a 2 hour drive or so?

Are there any specific settings I should enable/disable once I've fully updated the unit when it arrives?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You don't have to forget your phone on the head unit. The Bluetooth connection to AAWireless is only used the start up the Wi-FI connection. Its not used for hands free, hands free is directly to the car.

Calls / OK Google work exactly the same as a wired connection (unless Google borked something up).

AA is a standard protocol, AAW just passes the data 1:1. So no, it should work fine on newer Android versions, unless Google or phone manufacturers mess something up, but then it will stop working other dongles / native wireless or wired connections as well.

Yes, battery drain is heavier because of constantly using wifi. How much it drains depends a lot on the phone itself.

Default settings should work in 99% of the cases. If you can't be bothered with changing dpi (screen resolution) or developer mode or such, just keep it default.
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
Thanks for giving access to 4.0. is it possible to have access to all 3.x version as well? I see currently only a list of 4.0 firmwares in the app.
[Android Auto General] Inenting:
Hi Everyone,

I recently got the AA wireless device for Android Auto, and it works great. However, because I have a Mercedes, I need to use Android Auto through the CarPlay protocol to get a fullscreen display. I've encountered a few issues:

Android Auto over CarPlay Protocol:

Initially, it worked perfectly.

However, when I received a call, I couldn't answer it using the screen and could only pick up on the phone.

After the call, Android Auto crashed and now won't start in CarPlay mode anymore. The wireless AA works fine (though not in full screen), but the car doesn't recognize any devices when using AA over CarPlay.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

I tried factory resetting the device.

I unpaired all Bluetooth devices.

Unfortunately, these steps didn't resolve the issue.

Additional Issues:

Sometimes there's about a 1-minute delay in actions when using Android Auto. Is this delay due to the car or the AA wireless device?

I'm using a Samsung S24 Ultra with a Mercedes W205 platform. If anyone has encountered these problems and found a fix, especially for the calling issue, I'd appreciate your advice.

Thank you!

@Snirpo

I went back to Start/Stop. It worked quite well without it, but there were 2 problems.

1-when I went to the car more often for things and then I wanted to go, I had to help the connection by enabling the connection on the radio. As if connecting and disconnecting something in the mobile phone cycled.

2-Although the connection starts immediately, it takes a long time to connect the BT to the car's HF.

Globally, when I come to the car with an active call, it connects to the car's HF, but AA does not start, AA only starts after the call ends.

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Thanks for the feedback. There's not much we can change on how it works without start / stop in your situation. Works as designed (by Google). Start / stop is a total hack though, our app bassicly uses an undocumented / internal feature in AA to start it up. It may stop working.
[Android Auto General] Dangze:
As far as Start/Stop is concerned, it has worked for me at the beginning, but now, and since a lot of firmware updates, it doesn't work (cycling connections/disconnections) and I stopped using it !

Reported here long time ago...
[Android Auto General] mortbrad:
Hi all, I have an OG AAwireless from the Indigogo, and it's served me well for years.

I started with a Mercedes GLC and in that car it was flawless. The wife has that car now so I got her a basic T-Box which is bloody good for carplay.

I have had now for a year a KIA EV6. I started using AAwireless in the EV6 and over time it has become gradually less and less stable.

I don't believe I ever had any instability in the MB but in the EV6 the symptom now seems to be, on a long drive, say 2 hrs plus, the audio will start to stutter which means a crash is imminent. Device reboots, and will then it will crash much more often. On a recent road trip I had to revert to a cable.

I never really chased configuration on the EV6 - I am running fw 3.5.

I do also feel that other than the instability I'm having more issues connecting than I remember in the past, so I wonder if my device has become flaky.

I see talk of 2.0 and I want to stay with AAW, so may I ask for suggestions while we wait and see about 2.0?

Also please cater to Australia, when I tried recently to buy a new device neither the webshop or Amazon would provide shipping to Australia.
