2018 Mazda CX-5, AA capable headunit, firmware 70.00.335 (NA N region)

Moto Z4 with Android 10.

AAwireless updated to 1.5.0.

Even with passthrough mode enabled, I've *never* been able to get AAwireless to work. What settings are you Mazda folks using that it's working for you? What headunit firmware revisions and regions?

Under non-passthrough mode, it always does the "Enable Android Auto / not responding" dance cycle (even the very first time, it's never worked even once).

Under passthrough mode, the headunit doesn't seem to think anything is connected at all; no popups or other messages.

Tried all USB connection modes (saved twice and unplugged/replugged to make sure the setting change took effect; it doesn't always seem to save the change across reboots in my observation). Android's own USB settings are adb ("USB debugging") enabled; default to "No data transfer" (though I suspect these are irrelevant).

(Sigh, can't update the headunit for the moment. It seems that Mazda nuked the one place I saw that had the 74.xx.xxx update, so for the moment I can't update the thing without paying $$$ to a dealership for the Great Privilege of them plugging in a USB stick and pressing a half dozen buttons. [PMs accepted on this point...])

**EDIT!** After so much desperation, factory reset the headunit, cleared the AA app's data, reverted to stock version, re-updated to Play Store version, set AA up from scratch again... it finally works. I'll just crawl away and scream into a pillow and hope it stays working :LOL:
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
What have you done to resolve this issue? I have the same problem with my S21 and my Pioneer head unit. If it's connected to the car BT I can't pick it up on the phone. When I'm using the cord I can pick it up using the phone or car head unit.
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
Did you use tasker to resolve this issue or macrodroid? Are you able to share your profile or task so we can have an idea of what to do if you don't mind. Thank you
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
Did you get anywhere with the DPI and the split screen on your Pioneer HU?
[Android Auto General] astashio:
Yes, I've set it to 100 and I have split screen with both wireless and plugged in.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
I used macrodroid. Sharing my profile won't work with yours as mine is for individual Bluetooth devices and other settings related to my car - it would be easier for you to make one based on what you need. It's a very easy app to use, you can't go wrong.
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
I don’t have good eyesight what’s the best number where is not too small? The biggest is the number the smallest the letters, correct?
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
Thank you for your reply. I understand that it’s device a specific, can you please share the steps involved? I have used Tasker in the past but I haven’t use it in a very long time.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
It all depends what issue you're having with your head unit and aawireless device mate, I shared the steps with my original post on how I set mine up. Mine was taking ages to connect after I started my car etc so I made a profile which once my car connected via Bluetooth to my head unit, it launched my audio apps and equalizers, enabled gps the. Lanches android auto which automatically triggered aa wireless. My screen is ready to go in about 10 seconds of getting into my car.
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
The only issue I’m having that when I get out of the car android auto stay connected for a few seconds if I call comes in I’m unable to grab it.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Make a profile that after you disconnect Bluetooth from your cars headunit/stereo, it triggers "kill application android auto" or even "disconnect from AAwireless wifi" then you should be fine.

(when I turn my car off and open the door it powers off my stereo meaning my Bluetooth gets disconnected but my USB/android auto remains on for X amount of time and still connected via wifi) so the above works for me but you may need to alter it for your purposes
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
Thank you the same thing with my car.
[Android Auto General] bwillet:
I have a question and a comment.

Question: For people that use 2+ phones, what's the quickest and easiest way to disconnect one phone from AAWireless and switch to the other? Currently I do airplane mode on the connected phone, but I wish there was an easier way. And I did try searching, but there are so many posts here so I apologize if I missed it somewhere in a previous post.

Comment: Just thought I'd let interested parties know that my AAWireless has been working great since the 1.4 (I think) firmware. Apparently Volkswagen MIB2 is a sore spot for many, but after that firmware update it's working really well with "VAG crash fix" and "Auto video focus" turned on. Three different phones (all Samsung), the USB cable that came with it, and all is well. I think I have had to power cycle my infotainment system maybe twice, but I've had to it more than that with wired AA. All in all, very happy, thanks to the devs!
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
It is on the feature list to be added to the software but who knows when. My wife and I have the problem her phone always connects regardless which was connected last. I think her Bluetooth is just faster to respond.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Yep I wish I could downgrade back to 1.4, it worked well for me. Fingers crossed we'll have the option to do that soon or that the next firmware resolves some issues
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
@Snirpo

when are feature improvements and new features going to be tackled? It was several months back that you said that they would be tackled after the new version of the start/stop feature was released but we are still waiting for this. Surely Gen2 has been resolved now.
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
Good question. I've been one of patient people on the forum especially as one of the original adopters but it seems things have ground to a halt. It would help if at a minimum there was some information about timelines of releases.
[Android Auto General] bjevers:
How are you launching Android Auto with Macrodroid? When I try to find it in the list of apps the only thing I have is Android Auto for phone screens, which is not the correct app. I also tried the actual package name com.google.android.projection.gearhead but Macrodroid says it's not found when I check the system logs.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
When you use the trigger "application launched" make sure to tick that box at the bottom
[Android Auto General] bjevers:
Ok, but I was using the phone connecting to my vehicle's Bluetooth as the trigger with the action being to launch Android Auto. I thought that's what you were doing to get it to open quicker. That check box is not available when launching an app from the action section for some reason.

So what is your action after the Android Auto trigger?
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Easiest way would be to have a seperate Marco to activate your other macro. Edit the one that triggers on Bluetooth connection then add an action to run the macro that launches android auto. So Bluetooth connection will make it run a macro that launches android auto, you can also make a revered version (beluetooth disconnect kills android auto etc) There's better ways but that's the easiest to explain
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Gen2 has not been resolved yet, we are very close but not there yet. That's why we are producing 16k Gen1 units now (with a lot of effort to actually get components), to fill the gap and finally get off Indiegogo.

Gen2 is a huge risk for us, we don't want to mess it up. We are planning to produce Gen2 in large quantities (20k+) batches. If we mess up a 20k batch of devices we can bassicly pack up and go.

We already felt the pain of messing up a batch (batch 2) and this was only one of 6k units.

I'm sorry it might seem like we are not doing much, but in the background a lot is going on, not only technically.

Features will come, and they will come this year. But I cannot give any short term deadlines anymore.

On the app side, if you want to test bleeding edge builds you can join here: https://appdistribution.firebase.dev/i/5196d378c8e122d7

I might also set up the same thing for the board-side. Only there it's a bit trickier, because of the chance of "bricking" the device.
[Android Auto General] jv.batista:
I think I figured out why I'm having connection issues with AAW.

Yesterday I did a shop run and it went like this:

- Start: flawlessly

- 1st stop: it took a little bit longer to connect

- 2nd stop: took a little bit more to connect

- 3rd stop: refused to start AA in the head unit. unplug and plug it back in twice and still no connection to headunit, it only started AA after I saved the settings twice.

For some reason, despite being connected to the phone and the app seeing current settings it would not start AA on the car.

Any ideas?

Phone: 1+ 8T up to date

Car: 2017 Kia Ceed SW JD
[Android Auto General] llaugerm:
If you figured it out, please let me know what steps you took to do this with Macrodroid or Tasker. Thanks
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Has anyone figured out a way to make android auto automatically start a different app on launch instead of maps? Would love AA to start up and automatically run ObD2AA! Is it possible to use android assistant to open an app within android auto?
[Android Auto General] vizzze:
I tried again later and still have the same issue with the same settings. Not sure why this happens.
[Android Auto General] Glyde62:
This device work on Kenwood head units? eg:-

[Android Auto General] spacemanvt:
Has anyone tried this with a RCD330 VW head unit?

I have one installed in my MK6 VW Golf.
[Android Auto General] BlockZwo:
Did this on my Galaxy S21 Ultra, still the GPS position seems to lag for 4-5s. The position of the phone is the same as before, in a Brodit holder in the middle of the cockpit.
[Android Auto General] SSAlen:
Mine is 7.2" inch screen
[Android Auto General] netnerd:
nice !

i cant wait to get mine.

i heard the split screen only works with google map and NOT waze?
[Android Auto General] SSAlen:
works with waze also
[Android Auto General] SSAlen:
Also, it works flawlessly without hiccups or lags. It boots fast, because usb powers on as soon as you unlock the door. By the time you take a seat it is already booted and after you start the engine takes few more seconds for android auto to show up on the screen. Battery drain on the phone is reasonable, on my Pixel about 12% in hour. I need to order wireless charging pad for longer trips.

Anyhow, I highly recommend it.
[Android Auto General] netnerd:
my aawireless already shipped yesterday Friday from HK to USA, i just haven't received it yet.

if you want wireless pad, this is what you want.

Hey everyone! :)

Does anyone have a Seat Leon model KL built in 2020. Infotainment system is MIB3. Does this box work on this car? Does anyone know?

Best regards from Austria! :cool:
[Android Auto General] LorD ClockaN:
It works on my Tiguan MK2 and I think your infotaintment is similar or the same as mine and it works fine
[Android Auto General] iAmFromAustria:
I'm not sure about it because MIB3 is very buggy. I hope someone has a Seat Leon KL 🤔
[Android Auto General] d_PhantoM17:
has anyone tried it on MIB2 Composition Media?

If yes, how long does it take to connect?
[Android Auto General] LorD ClockaN:
I have this one in the bg, sorry for bad pic, but I wasn't taking a pic of the infotaintment then :D

New item by Davor Bertovic

photos.app.goo.gl

The phone connects and shows AA on the media screen in about 10-15 seconds. I'm really impresed
[Android Auto General] d_PhantoM17:
what phone are you using? I tried with huawei mate 20 pro and xiaomi redmi note 8 pro, they both take about 1min and 40sec to connect. Tried on another car and i took just a few seconds. This is driving me nuts and is making me very mad to not know what the problem is. It doesn't make sense.
[Android Auto General] -DDD-:
No, because MK6 is not Android Auto Compatible, even with Cable
[Android Auto General] votrelec:
I have problem with passat B8 2016 (mib2) and samsung galaxy s8+. Connection drops every few minutes. Is there any way to view debug log to analyze if it is wifi issue or cable issue?
[Android Auto General] Nudnik_de:
Anybody been successfull with Galaxy S10, Android 11 and One UI 3.1?

Trying since yesterday without success. Tried all options USB mode and passthrough. Device is blinking green even when I connect it manually to bluetooth. Nothing more happening, no Wifi connect, no nothing...
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
I have been avoiding the Android 11 and One UI update because it seems that it breaks a lot of things.
[Android Auto General] ekraus50:
Well it was a nightmare to get it to work when I first got it a couple of months ago.

then a couple of days ago it would not connect for several minutes. Now it wont connect at all. Where do you get support?
[Android Auto General] eddyther:
Oniquement sur Indiegogo pour le moment
[Android Auto General] silviox:
OT for italian: my aawireless is for sale, contact in pvt ;)
[Android Auto General] AndrewShahoff:
Is it any WiKi/HowTo ? Interested in getting things working , but cannot find step by step instruction
[Android Auto General] saclefr:
Hello, how your aawireless reacts when you start the car while you have one pending communication ?

For me I have a question to move the call to the car, but I doesn't work, the call remains on the phone. And worse : after the call, the music remains on the phone too.

The solution is easy : unplug and replug the aawireless (not to do during a call)

Do you have the same ?

Without the aawireless, so when I connect the phone directly to the car, I don't have the issue.
[Android Auto General] matata86:
Yes, same for me.
[Android Auto General] bartvincke:
AAwireless on a samsung s10 and peugeot 2019 model, latest aawireless FW

setting up was quite easy and basically was just following the instructions from the app on the phone

reconnecting is flawless and fast

overal use is good except for 1 thing: when using gps ( waze ) and spotiy, the spotify sound becomes very distorded (temp) whenever waze says something. it's extremely annoying up to the point I'm reconnecting the cable again now until hopefully a fix comes out.

also ( not AA wireless related immediately ) , my car's build in wireless charger barely keeps up with the power drain when using AA through AAWireless.

On cable this is of course no issue and charges the phone normally.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Posted via Indiegogo and thought I would post here too. Glad to hear you’ve managed to move forward with production again. I’m not asking for an ETA – more of a timeline, do you have an idea when there will be updates to the firmware/app for those who have received their devices? I understand you want to get devices shipped but if you are amongst the group that has bugs/issues with the current firmware, this device is pretty much being used as a paperweight. Once again, I'm not trash talking this device because I love it while it works but some transparency on the development side would be nice since we only hear about the manufacturing side on Indiegogo
[Android Auto General] TheTen:
Could use some input…

Received my unit a good few weeks ago. I’m running a SEAT Alhambra UK late 2015 with FULLLINK. Head unit device p/n is 7N5035680A with hardware H20 software 0240 and nav database 6P0919866.

I can pair Samsung NOTE 10+ to the AAwireless and connect through app, updated firmware, can change settings and initiate reboot.

On connecting to the AAwireless the phone attempts to open AndroidAuto which pops up as a notification ‘scanning’ for a connection that never gets made. The AAwireless just never seems to connect to the head unit.

I’ve tried three usb c cables that all work direct with the phone. I just get constantly flashing blue LED. Out of hundreds of reconnection, wipe data and re-pair, reset button, usb config changes just TWICE did I get a brief acknowledgement of USB device on the head unit and that was ’device not recognised.’

Nothing gets the thing working.

To be fair, I know support are busy… but…

I reached out to email support and just got several rounds of ‘in theory it should work’, lots of ‘try resets/delete cache and data/re-pair/usb modes but nothing works….and then support just left me there at ‘if it isn’t going to work I’ll just have to sell it on eBay with the caveat that it doesn’t work on an Alhambra 2015…’ with a virtual shrug and absolutely zero emphatic help to get it working or even test for a faulty unit.

So I’m less than impressed.

Does anyone have it working on a similar late 2015 VAG system?
[Android Auto General] vetol:
Hi to all of you! I have Nissan Qashqai and car was manufactured in this March. I've tried everything to use AAwireless in my car but without any success.

One of the members also have Nissan Qashqai and he have managed to get thing going. I also used his method but without result. He have connected some USB hub to the car and than AAWireless to that hub, that's the only thing that I didn't do. Maybe that could be the problem? I'm really trying everything to try to bring AAWireless to life in my car. :)

I have recorded a video and maybe some of you can tell me what else should I try to do:

My phone is Samsung Note 9. I also tried with LG G7.

At the one point in the middle of video while I was trying to use Android auto from car screen I forgot that because of cleared cache I need to click on my phone to accept everything. Also day before recording video I did the same thing but first I connected phone with cable to enable everything in Android Auto and delete cache etc.

It looks quite similar as a problem that TheTen described.

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Please follow these instructions: https://cpeb.freshdesk.com/support/...evice-never-connects-and-keeps-blinking-green to make sure everything is reset to initial state.

Make sure you're on the newest firmware, and make sure USB mode is on "default". Then it should work.

The USB hub "workaround" was not really a solution. "Default" USB mode is the key for (some) Nissan's.
[Android Auto General] vetol:
I did everything as you told me to do. And still no result. :/
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Does it ever go solid blue? Or only blinking blue? Solid blue means the wireless side is connected, but there's no USB connection.
[Android Auto General] vetol:
It's blinking blue and nothing happens.
[Android Auto General] andreiav:
I get this if I move the device. In my case, the USB c cable connection to the aaw device is not perfect. I have to gently move the cable near the device, until I find the corect position and it connects. Maybe try this.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah I think it's a bad USB connection. We can swap the device, please contact support at https://cpeb.freshdesk.com and ask for a replacement.

[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
It's working in a lot of VAG systems, not sure about a SEAT system from 2015, but it works on VAG, there are a lot of VAG cars out there.

The ONLY thing going wrong with my system now is the Google Assistant voice not always being heard and I think it's a VAG thing. Been driving the wife's Mitsubishi and it's always fine on hers, when you summon Google, you can hear the voice, but it's a crap shoot in my car.

I updated my car to 1.7 yesterday (was very smooth and easy to do while in the car) and went for a drive. Three for three this time I couldn't hear Google speak. Possibly worse than before in that regard, otherwise still fine.

We are in lockdown so not driving as much, and as mentioned, been driving the wife's car when I do go out and realised hers seems to be fine, fine with the Google voice.

I did try using Direct and MPT modes again but no difference in my car.

Does anybody else have this, maybe in a VAG car?
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Anybody else find after the 1.7.0 firmware update the device will sometimes not power on with the vehicle? It'll stay black (i.e. no LED). Unplugging USB and replugging seems to work, sometimes only on the second or third try.

I'm running pretty basic settings, only 140 DPI and Auto focus over the defaults, Hyundai Elantra 2018, device batch #7004.

Hadn't physically touched the device or changed any settings other than accepting the 1.7.0 update, then briefly trying Start/Stop out again since I was hoping it might have been improved in 1.7.0, so that should rule out USB issues at least.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Mine runs like before on 1.7, probabl driving it again today so will have more use to check against.
[Android Auto General] janz25:
Yes, mine the same. Since updated to 1.7, the device is not power on everytime i start the car, need to unplug/plug back. Mine is all default setting.

Any setting that i should take note off to prevent this?
[Android Auto General] IlD4nX:
Same here, but unplug/plug doesn't work: I had to reset everything and re-do the setup to make it work but I don't have yet a full feedback.

Weird thing is that after the update everything was ok until the same evening...
[Android Auto General] [Jaco69]:
Updated firmware 1.7.0 yesterday, no problem so far. Will check in the next days and give feedback.

Furthermore I had frequent AAwireless reboot problems while driving, this seems to be solved checking "Enable Audio Latency Dump" in Android Auto Developer Settings. Seems strange as I found only VW reporting this problem in this thread.

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No led at all is odd. Means the kernel doesn't boot up. Can you try to send some logs via the app?
[Android Auto General] IlD4nX:
No led here as well, but when reboot it, I had a double blink of the led: now I reset the HW and the whole software and re-do the configuration... let you know in case of logs.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Reset was going to be my next step too. I'll try to get it to send some logs first. 👍
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I'm stopping the rollout for now. We don't have that many reports of this issue, but it needs some investigation.

BTW Can you verify if it's still on 1.7.0? After a few failed boots it falls back to the previous partition with the previous firmware.
[Android Auto General] dzeidzei:
I've been noticing this also with my Passat. After 1.7 update almost half the time device doesn't light up at all and app can't connect to it either. If I then go to for example shop and come back device might light back up when i come to car and unlock it. And sometimes unplugging usb has been required.
[Android Auto General] osm0sis:
Alright so this morning it wouldn't turn on at all (no LED), and no amount of unplugging and replugging seemed to work, so then I put it into my car charger and it booted!

Then I checked and saw it had downgraded to 1.5.0 but still showed an update available. I sent some logs from that state, then tried the update. Rebooted, still showed 1.5.0 and no update now. Sent logs again. Plugged back into my car USB port and now it all works properly as before on 1.5.0. 🤔
