The bug in MIUI is there for around a year. It has same behavior with native (factory) enabled wireless Android auto units. So until you stay with MIUI you can't use wireless AA even if you buy new car.

To enjoy wireless AA, IMO there are two options only:

- change the phone

- unlock bootloader and flash an AOSP rom (this is what I did and all working great on Mi 11 (venus)

By the way, once you try wireless Android auto (does not matter native or by any dongle on the market), you will never regret for changing the rom or the phone....
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Here's the same problem on an MA1:

In general I'd advice NOT to buy an Xiaomi phone if you want to use Android Auto Wireless. They have been sh*t since the beginning. Older MIUI had no mobile internet while using AA Wireless. MIUI > 12.5 has these disconnection issues when mobile network reconnects.

Huawei is also horrible for Android Auto Wireless.

We decided to only support phones from the official list of Google (https://support.google.com/androida...py=,android-auto-on-your-car-display-wireless), cause it's just not maintainable anymore.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
I have seen same on factory fitted Skoda HU.

Definetely next phone I'll buy won't be Xiaomi. I was about to change mine when A12 AOSP roms were released and fortunately wireless AA is just fine for now...

I have had nothing but problems with this device. It will only connect MAYBE 25% of the time. And even when it does connect the maps lag and the music drops out, or the device restarts randomly. I have tried all sorts of different configurations, and none of them actually help. I'm ready to just throw this thing in the trash (and basically the $90 I paid).

[Android Auto General] jeremyt561:
Just wondering, but have you switched it to 5ghz and a high channel number?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I have an S22 Ultra and it connects all of the time and is not laggy. I only discovered a device reboot once on a 3 hour drive, and not again on the way back.

My only issue, not sure if it's Samsung, my head unit, or the device is the inability to hear the assistant maybe 50% of the time.

I haven't mucked with my wifi setting in AAW, the last time I did the display went funny so I changed it back.
[Android Auto General] billarf01:
For what it is worth... I am using this 5.4" extension cable. Decent quality and the specs are very good..> 10Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 2) This extension cable gives me noticeably faster operation in comparison to the provided cable.

[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I like that cable but I need one with a 90 degree on at least the USB C end. It would actually be great to have 90 degrees on both now that I think about it.
[Android Auto General] Dangze:
What do you think of this cable :
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I can't see a link.
[Android Auto General] Dangze:
Sorry, my photo is too big; I must (will) reduce it !

Edit : how to do it ?...:unsure:
[Android Auto General] EViollet:
Awesome. Thank you very much.

I'll give it a try and tell you what I think of it. 🤗
[Android Auto General] madz860:
Hello all.

I have huge problems with my AAW.

I have a Xiaomi 11T, running latest MIUI global version.

It cannot even connect anymore. Its trying, but it never shows up on my headunit. The AAW unit just blinks green.

I have the newest update 2.1.0 on AAwireless app, tried resetting the device, enabled passthough, changed to 2.4 ghz instead of 5, and forced MTU on USB.

Right now this unit is not usable.

My car is a Seat leon 2018
[Android Auto General] Phantom1275:
I'm trying to get Aawireless syslog to check some eventual disconnections I get, but I'm not able to do it.

The address is http://10.42.1.1:8000/syslog, right? It tries to connect, keeps trying and then I get a timeout.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Since when? What changed?
[Android Auto General] madz860:
Since the new update. Before i got disconnections every 5th minute or so, now the AAW wont connect at all. It blinks green. My Car is trying to connect to it, but it wont.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Is the wifi hotspot of the device visible? (AAWireless-xxxx or AndroidAuto-AAWxxxxx)
[Android Auto General] madz860:
Yes it is
[Android Auto General] m184:
Hello, I bought this cable to convert of aawireless cable to my car socket. (because I have one more USB port device to connect the car (for wireless charging))

Apera An-80 4K Typec C Çevirici 2 USB 2.0 - 1 USB 3.0 Hub OTG Adaptör : Amazon.com.tr: Bilgisayar

Apera An-80 4K Typec C Çevirici 2 USB 2.0 - 1 USB 3.0 Hub OTG Adaptör : Amazon.com.tr: Bilgisayar

www.amazon.com.tr

This cable supports max USB 3.0: 5Gbps

What is the maximum output speed of the aawireless device? Is that cable enough?
[Android Auto General] venki5star:
There are couple of issues with AAWireless with my VOLVO XC90 2020.

AAWireless while playing music (mostly when playing in YouTube Music), its crashes VOLVO Sensus and the whole car system reboots. The major issue is, when it crashes, the car disengages the whole safety systems. VOLVO, confirmed that the crash is because of the AAWirless device based on the logs.

AAWireless disconnects randomly. Its annoying because it disconnects while I really need it. Mostly, using the Navigation in Google Maps.

Anyone facing similar issues and is there any work around? I stopped using AAWireless, and I didn't had any of the above issues except USB-C cable issues.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
1. If AAWireless can make the HU crash, then there's definitely something wrong in the HU. Is there a possibility you can get the logs from the car? I'm very curious why it crashes. AAWireless is just a proxy, it does nothing more than forwarding data from Wi-Fi to USB, no magic involved. However... Some HU's are buggy. Like VW technisat HU's. That's why we created the VAG crash fix. You can try to enable it on the Volvo, who knows, might be the same issue.

2. Most likely related to issue 1
[Android Auto General] venki5star:
I can't get the logs from VOLVO. I just said the same thing you said to me to VOLVO and just said you are using a unauthorized device. But I can try VAG fix. I started using AAW from yesterday after 2 months of not using it. I installed the latest firmware. So far looking fine. But I didn't drove long enough to notice anything yet.
[Android Auto General] DeCo59:
Hello all, anyone have tested the AAW with the new AA 8?
[Android Auto General] psmedley:
Works fine here.
[Android Auto General] DeCo59:
OK good, thanks for the response!
[Android Auto General] Flame Red:
I have a '19 XC90 but I believe the Sensus hardware is the same, and I had the "Total Update" done multiple times via Vida so it is running much later firmware. Perhaps you can have your dealer apply the Total Update, or you can do it yourself but it requires a OBD2 cable, lap top, substantial battery charger, 3 day Vida subscription ($) and I think they charge $75 for the Total update. More info on how to do the Vida updates yourself is on https://www.swedespeed.com/forums/xc90-spa-2016.5020/

My AAWireless works well on the XC90, but I do have one issue. The voice responses for directions on Waze get cut off at the end of a sentence, or are jittery and it is very annoying. But my head unit never crashed because of the AAWireless. AAwireless only does this on the Volvo. My Chevy and Mazda do not and work flawlessly.

BTW - I tried the VAG bug fix and for me it made the unit go crazy! But you can try it, it can easily be turned off.

I did try an Ottoman Andriod dongle and it did NOT have this issue on the Volvo, but I returned it because it was unstable, and very tricky to update the firmware. I also tried the much touted Motorola Dongle what Goggle developed and it has the exact same issue with Waze and cannot have the firmware updated ever.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I think you mean Ottocast :) That's because it actually uses CarPlay on the HU side. It translates the AA protocol to CarPlay. On some (or most?) HU's CarPlay has been implemented better than Android Auto. That's probably why you didn't experience this problem.

And indeed, all HU or phone specific issues AAWireless has, will also happen on the Motorola MA1. Only difference is we can hack around some issues by intercepting messages, the MA1 can't.

Both the GM fix and VAG fix are still (unfortunately) 100 percent nessecary. We verified this ourselves by comparing the MA1 and AAWireless.
[Android Auto General] lexuz:
Its september and I also have the same issue as you. If I use a cable there is no issue as at all😒. Did you manage to fix the issue?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I'm still using the Ottocast in one of the cars. Now something finally makes sense as it only says Carplay and it's been confusing since the start. There is a great new startup UI that is a big improvement, that I think is in beta. The first was terrible at connections but the second connects up rock solid every time. It does have some audio issues but seems to be getting better each time. I didn't find the FW update process to be difficult.

I may swap this with the other VW to test the Assistant audio issue I have.
[Android Auto General] cristea_ni:
I still wait for Xiaomi to rezolve this. My hope is android 13. After this month security updates the problems remains. With cable works ok.
[Android Auto General] mike.s:
Finger pointing at its finest. Ask them to point to a list of "authorized devices" in the owner's manual. It's definitely poor programming of the HU firmware - it should not crash under any condition just because a USB device is connected. Simply not working is one thing, crashing is completely different.

Then it's a safety defect. I'd file a complaint with whatever gov't agency is responsible for auto safety. In the US, that would be the NHTSA. Not sure what the equivalent is in Oz.
[Android Auto General] lexuz:
Yeah let's hope android 13 will fix this, at the other hand lets see what it will brake 😑
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We're also looking into doing AA via CarPlay protocol. This will definitely help on some cars with horrible Android Auto implementation.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I had no idea that was a thing, like most people. What a concept.

Does that bring Carplay support to AAW at the same time?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
That's more tricky, but it might ;)

AAWireless (dev) app mobile data usage

The mobile data usage screen on my Samsung A53 reports the AAWireless (dev) app using 364MB of mobile data this month, 358MB in the background. My total mobile data usage is 615MB.

What is the app doing? Is it sending some log or telemetry data?
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
Hi guys, so Xiaomi Poco F3 user here at the end of his tether. I know snirpo has stated that Xiaomi is not on their supported list due to how poor their support is an how they have introduced this wifi dropping bug and don't seem to be doing anything about it. So I'm looking at options;

1. Buy a supported phone - can and might do but my F3 is only a year old and feel reluctant to do this.

2. Flash a better ROM - also an option but I'm trying to keep it stock and compliant for banking apps. Also it feels like these ROMs can introduce further issues that might frustrate me more.

3. Workaround - Thinking of using an old phone for AA connected through AA Wireless. However I don't want to pay for another sim / mobile contract for this phone so thinking of what's possible. It would need to connect via wifi to AA Wireless and my F3 wifi hotspot concurrently for internet. Also it would be ideal if calls and messages would be routed from the F3. To be honest I don't think these requirements are technically possible but ideas welcome.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
I was in your situation with abt year old Mi 11. Almost ordered a new supported phone, but decided first to give a try to custom rom (not MIUI one - they have same bug).

A few months ago I flashed from XDA Mi11 forum an AOSP rom - A12 and now A13. In both Android verisons all apps I use work great, including Android auto wireless, GPay, other banking apps and wireless payments, etc. So now I have a phone with high spec hardware and fully functioning software without paying a few hundreds EUR for new one.

IMO it worths to try, and if something goes wrong, you can always buy new phone.
[Android Auto General] :
Hello.

I using aawireles from 5 days and have a problem with disconnections. Sometimes after 3min, sometimes after 5 but aawireles still disconnecting and connecting again to car. On 20min route to work it happens 3-5 times. I try almost everythin: reseting, clearing cache, changing freq ro 2,4 and 5 but nothing seems to work. My phone Samsung S20+ 5G latest xeo firmware, car Opel Astra K from 2016.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
The dev app sends debug logs on startup (production app does not). It shouldn't be that much though. I'll check it out.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
Hi,

I am using aawireless with my 2020 Mazda MX5 RF. I got it Saturday and today when I was using the android auto suddenly stopped and I received an error on my infotainment. Within seconds it got reconnected and disconnected.

Finally, once it got reconnected it was ok but I will check and report back.

My aawireless is AndroidAuto-AAW0fbd3380.

I am using pixel 6 pro with android 13 September patch
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
Cheers for that and yes I should give a different ROM a go as the hardware is such good value for money. It's a shame that the arm ecosystem is so proprietary and not as open as x86 where you can just install linux on a 10 year old machine and it will just work.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
@Snirpo can an interference cause the system to disconnect and reboot? When I am driving to work the aawireless module disconnects exactly at same spot. Also, today had an audio drop out at one spot. Is there any solution for this or do I have to wait for new firmware to be released?

My car is 2020 Mazda MX5 Miata. It's not an infotainment issue but definitely the aawireless issue as it never happens when the phone is connected with wire
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, that can happen in some countries / places. Changing the wifi channel via settings to a higher one, for example 149, mostly helps.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
So, you suggest me to keep 149? Can't we implement something like DJI where it selects auto channels based on minimal interference?
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
Out of interest which specific ROM did you choose as there seem to be quite a few.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
Motorola MA1 doesn't need passthrough mode for Mazda cars it just works whereas Aawireless needs passthrough mode for Mazda infotainment systems. Is it because of certification process? I can't understand how Motorola MA1 is doing it without any companion app and it's just plug and play
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, but the problem with a car is it's moving a target. So a good channel in one location, might be worse another location. In general higher channels are better though.

There's also something called DFS (dynamic frequency selection) which actually changes the channels based on interference. Problem is, changing channels will cause a disconnect, so it will have the same effect as dropping the connection because of interference.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Right... good luck with the MA1.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Am I right in saying that the MA1 only runs in what is basically passthrough?

What is so bad if in your instance with AAW that you need to use passthrough? That's why it's there, so it can work with different cars/phones. Even with passthrough AAW is so much better than MA1, but it's your call.

Do you have a post on an MA1 support board that MA1 is an unupdatable one trick pony?

People complaining about passthrough mode, I can't understand it.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
Not complaining about passthrough but the dropouts every 20-30mins or when there's an interference the whole unit disconnects and reconnects. The infotainment system says Android auto error or something is wrong with your android auto on phone please check.

If it works properly in any mode it's fine but it needs to work properly without disconnects. I read about tin foil trick. Does it mean the aawireless device antenna is not strong enough?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I tin foiled mine so interference would stop the music dropping out, I rarely have a disconnect, but you could try it. I also did it before you could make adjustments to channels etc, so I've left mine stock.

Have you also tried other cables?

Do you have an MA1? Does it work?
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
I don't have MA1 but on Miata forums they gave a good feedback. Tried 3 cables already. I found putting the wifi channel to 153 is working well. I will report tomorrow once I have sometime with it
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Good luck. AAW can do anything MA1 can do and more, so something should work for you if it is indeed possible.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
@Snirpo

Any fix for navigation voice audio cutout at the final second. Apart from that issue there's nothing. Your fix to set the wifi channel makes the dongle work better. I will report if my dongle gets disconnected tomorrow near my workplace.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
Hope next firmware update makes it better
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Most things are fixable. Early FW on the Ottocast I also use was bad with the assistant voice cutting out and jittery but they fixed that.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Because the Moto is in permanent passthrough mode. AAWireless will by default also work without companion app for 90 percent of the cars. Some cars need setting changes, which are most fixed by going through the troubleshooting section in the app.

No, unfortunately these kinds of things are not fixable without hacking into the AA message stream. Passthrough mode is, like it says a straight passthrough. Byte per byte passthrough, like the MA1. Good chance the exact same thing will happen on the MA1.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
I use this one:

[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
So, if passthrough mode is not enabled any setting for voice prompts? . I saw a post where he mentioned gmfix was working for Mazda cars and can disable passthrough mode.
[Android Auto General] dieter6581:
I am an owner of a Mazda, too.

First time aawireless worked only via passthrough mode, but with the gmfix enabled it works also with passthrough mode disabled.

My telephone: Redme Note 10 , definitely my last China mobile phone.

There are also custom roms for this phone, but without stock camera, which is very good one.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
Cool, I am using my pixel 6 pro with my Mazda with GMfix and passthrough disabled. With wifi channel set to 153 it's working great without any disconnects at all. I had one interruption today for a second which is may be because of some interference. I don't know if navigation voice break at last second is android auto bug or aawireless is causing it as android auto needs to be polished with wireless mode as there are few bugs according to forums.

Hope Aawireless comes up with some kind of fix for the voice breaks
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
GM fix works for Mazda as well indeed. It's a bit hard to explain why, but it bassiccly works around a bug / feature in Android Auto / HU. The reason why it's called GM fix is because on some GM cars without this hack, AA will not start up at all, also not in passthrough mode. The MA1 or any other native wireless AA dongle will have the same issue.

On Mazda's and also some other brands, it will work fine in passthrough mode when you've already been through AA setup wired.

We might rename this hack / workaround in the next version of the app.
[Android Auto General] bloodhound42:
Rename it to GM/Mazda fix or in the setup screen you can mention Mazda/GM cars like Hyundai/Kia
[Android Auto General] madz860:
Do you have issues with the cable as well? I got a 11T and, when i plug in the cable in my car, it connects, disconnects, connect, disconnect ever second. Does that with all cables, and it has done it since i got the phone.
[Android Auto General] cristea_ni:
As i said, with cable there is no problem. My car is Mercedes-Benz CLA 2015.

Unfortunately Mr. Emil canceled my order when war in Ukraine started. I asked them to ship it anyway, but get ignored, so frustrated from this behavior.. ordered Carsifi instead!
[Android Auto General] bertsmelik:
I fully agree with this! My wife and I both have Xiaomi phones and they both work great with Pixel Experience Rom. Hardware is good, good price, good build quality.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
For Huawei users: beware of updating to EMUI 12 (which is still Android 10 btw, so no official Android Auto Wireless support). I have updated my P30 Pro to EMUI 12 and was able to get Android Auto Wireless working, albeit still with the same "no mobile internet" issues as before. However, after deleting the wifi connection to AAWireless, I wasn't able to get it working at all anymore (blinking green) the native way. With no amount of clearing, resetting, dongle mode or no dongle mode. With start / stop enabled it will work, so bypassing the native AA bootstrap process. Something is broken in Android Auto on Huawei...

I also want to emphasize we do not support phones anymore not on the official list of Google: https://support.google.com/androidauto/answer/6348019?hl=en#zippy=,android-auto-on-your-car-display-wireless . Especially Huawei and Xiaomi have been causing us a terrible amount of returns.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You're running into this issue: https://github.com/cpebit/aawireless-issues/issues/124

Unfortunately at this point there's nothing we can do. On a small amount of VW models AAWireless will not work properly. What you are describing sounds a lot like this issue.

We bought an VW head unit (see GitHub issue) for reproducing this issue, but unfortunately we cannot reproduce it in a lab situation. We have no idea why yet.

You're definitely also running in the Xiaomi "disconnect on mobile data loss" issue which we cannot solve.

In this case I'd unfortunately suggest to apply for a refund, because at this point it's just not going to work properly.

Can I possibly get the name of your device? So I check the the HU info.
