I ran into a weird issue. Any time I use Google Nav, I can only control the voice volume and lose media volume control.. This does not happen when I unplug the dongle and use a wired connection.

I created a separate thread, but wanted to see if I might get any traction here. I realize this is not an AAWireless issue but I also ran into and issue when using YT Music in Drive mode/Android Auto it shows that it is 'offilne', and only allows me to play music that I downloaded to the device (Pixel 6 Pro) however when using the app itself it shows to be online. This only occurs in Drive Mode and Android Auto. I have 'Stream via Wi-Fi only' set to the off position. Is there something else I should check? If I bypass AA and use YT Music straight through Bluetooth it works fine.

Anyone experience this?

Hi! One here wanting the 2.1.0 update, if possible. Mine is:

AAWireless - AAW9xsSGJQb

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Erntekoenig:
I'd love to be on 2.1.0 Beta too. Stuck on Kia/Hyundai Widescreen Update.

Device: AAWireless-ka7FPOIF
[Android Auto General] foxgg:
Also would like to get the 2.1 beta; car was updated by the dealership with the widescreen update.

My device ID is AAWireless-q1l4AaPn
[Android Auto General] TheUntouchable:
Guys with Kia/Hyundai Cars and Widescreen: Just activate the passthrough options in AA Wireless App if you don't use options like DPI or sink changing, this will fix the problem.
[Android Auto General] Erntekoenig:
Yeah it fixes the connectivity issue. But it takes a whole lot longer to connect to AAW - at least in my case.
[Android Auto General] TheUntouchable:
I had that long connection problem also before that update of my Kia Navi Firmware and not running in passthrough mode.. :) And I have it still with the beta firmware of the AA device.
[Android Auto General] Erntekoenig:
Guess thats no good news for me then... :rolleyes: Anyway it would be nice to use AAW with Widescreen and with my own dpi settings and without the tap restrictions.

Would be more than happy to report issues and give some field reports on the beta Version.
[Android Auto General] DroidShift79:
@Snirpo

Is it normal, when i visit the firebase link I do have 2 options, but when I click on DEV it goes to the all releases tab?
[Android Auto General] krzyb:
I would also like to get the 2.1 beta version; KIA updated to the panoramic version.

My device ID is AAWireless-wDa0aa67
[Android Auto General] pancher.hu:
Hi Snirpo,

thanks for the quick answer. I needed some time for the test, but finally made another extensive test. First with the settings I had (+passtrough mode), later with different modifications.

The reason it took long was the first try. I changed to passtrough and I believe that time I had no (or maybe 1) disconnetcion.

Later there was one more case with only 1 disconnection.

But the complete picture has not changed.

I usually drive 2x 40-50 min per day on the motorway. There were in avg 5-8 disconnections.

If I go to the city, the frequency of disconnections are even getting higher.

How could I test weather it is the HU or the dongle?

In the weekend I might have the chance to test it in another car for 2-3 hours.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Enabled for everyone who requested it
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Dev is the new one, the other will not be updated anymore. Firebase app is a bit buggy, you first need to accept the invite, should be in your mailbox.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If the same happens in another car, I'd say send an a support request at support@aawireless.io for a replacement.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I think the problem is the car turning on the USB port when you walk to the car. Device (AA) will start up too soon and will time out because there's no reaction from the HU yet.

In normal (non-passthrough) mode we keep the wireless side alive by pinging to the phone. So AA will not time out.

This has changed in 2.1.0, we don't ping anymore in both normal and passthrough mode. If this has negative side effects, please tell me :)

However... dongle mode should also fix this, because it makes AA wait for the handsfree connection of the car to the phone.
[Android Auto General] zhasil:
I do ask for beta. Thanks.

@Snirpo

May I have 2.1.0 enabled too?

Trying to get rid of audio chopping and would be nice to test with latest version.

AndroidAuto-AAW0BFP6ObA

Thanks in advance!
[Android Auto General] DeCo59:
Oh me too if i can AAWireless-SUsVhcKV

Also I have one behaviour now, for exemple I like switch between poweramp, deezer and also smart audiobook, and I use waze as gps

But now for exemple if I use deezer, it go at the bottom bar with the control button, and if I switch on android auto to poweramp, deezer still stay at the bottom bar, so if I want to switch song with the "next" button on my car wheel , it stop poweramp and next the song on deezer

I hope I was clear, so now I disabled deezer and I only use poweramp but I can't understand why it do this

Thanks in advance for the help, or informations
[Android Auto General] kb_79:
What are the improvements in the version mentioned 2.1.0? Thank
[Android Auto General] HoTsHoT89:
I've noticed that connection takes far longer in 2.0.2 than 2.0.1. It will take up to 50 seconds whereas previously would take about 10.

AAWireless would double blink blue, then change to red. This would happen a few times then it would connect.

Will the 2.1.0 beta fix this, or is it possible to rollback to 2.0.1.
[Android Auto General] Rom4egT:
I'd like to test 2.1.0

[Android Auto General] :
When will 2.1.0 firmware will be released i don't want to use aawireless in non passthrough on my hyundai. So eagerly waiting for 2.1.0 update to stable channel. @Snirpo @Emil Borconi
[Android Auto General] krzyb:
Despite the request, I did not receive the 2.1 beta. Maybe I don't know how to get to her? Should it appear as a standard system update?
[Android Auto General] Tikerz:
Wireless iOS CarPlay devices suffered from audio delays during phone calls because CarPlay disconnects the phone bluetooth from the head unit. Does AAWireless/AndroidAuto do the same thing? Any delays in phone calls?
[Android Auto General] fortuneman:
Most probably there is nothing AAwireless can do about that. It's somewhere among Kia and Google. I have a 2020 Xceed so I too wish there was a fix for the black third of the screen but so far I have found none.
[Android Auto General] cansi22:
I received it on Monday and it works without problems.

It took me a while to find the correct configuration.

I confirm that it works with: :D :D

SONY XAV-AX3005DB (Headunit)

Samsung Galaxy S8

PD I can't change the DPI of the screen :(
[Android Auto General] Tikerz:
That's an AndroidAuto limitation until Google decides to support multiple screen dimensions.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Yes, the Hyundai and Kia 10.25 inch head units confine Android Auto to the left portion of the screen. Head unit software updates allow the right portion of the screen to be something provided by the head unit. But Android Auto has not yet been permitted to fill the whole screen.

There will be another head unit software update coming in April, we can hope they will allow Android Auto to fill the screen. Apple Carplay has had the full screen for a while now.

If you have great vision, set the DPI to 100 with the AAWireless app. You will see what Android Auto will do when it has the full screen. I use DPI 130 daily to show a bit more map on my screen.
[Android Auto General] faganm24:
What is the delay when turning your vehicle on until AA pops up on your vehicle?
[Android Auto General] Scalee:
Working on SEAT Arona 2021 and a Oneplus 5T. At first the connection would drop out after a few seconds.

But this was due to a 'bad' USB-C to USB-C cable.
[Android Auto General] morback:
Received, installed, tested, perfect. Thank you!

Don't know about the head unit but I have a OP7T and a RENAULT Megane IV. Works perfectly.
[Android Auto General] andreiav:
My guess is you have the same issue I have.

You should notice that the music stops playing even if you change songs. Or when you change songs, sometimes there are delays, or the song that is playing doesn't match the song displayed.

I have the same issue and have been contacted by Emil. He will look into it.

Apparently it is something related to MIB2Std. I own a Seat Ateca and have the same problem.

Hopefully a fix is possible.

As a workaround (not the best one though), when you notice the music stops playing, pause it and wait. Then resume playing. If the song resumes, you've just averted another restart. Unfortunately it happens quite often and this doesn't seem like a long term solution.
[Android Auto General] mmmaxxx:
I don't have my unit yet, but I have a question already: Is it possible to use the wifi connection in reverse, i.e. have the phone create a hotspot (I need this for other devices in my car), and have the AAwireless box connect to the phone hotspot for the wifi connection?
[Android Auto General] mesaka:
I installed my unit last Saturday and with a very minor issue which I could solve using the faq it just worked out of the box.

Volvo XC40, Pixel 3a (also tried and succeeded with oneplus 6).

I already signed up to be a beta tester for the configuration app but happy to also be a tester if firmware updates are required as well!
[Android Auto General] Talderon:
I am still waiting for my unit, but I do have a question.

I have a 2017 Chrysler 300 with Sprint Drive that has a Mobile Hotspot.

Will the AAWireless unit utilize that for internet or does it still need a phone for all that?

I guess I can wait to see how to get it all working, but thought I would ask. :)
[Android Auto General] TechJeeper:
Android Auto uses the phone for processing, this allows you to mirror that capability - I imagine you will still need a phone.
[Android Auto General] artgru:
Hello!

I can confirm a successful connection with AA :)

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

KIA Optima 2019

The default setup didn't work for me. AA started working only after changing USB connection mode and activating pass-through.
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
I don't know if the AAWireless configuration app allows for this kind of configuration, but I do know that AAGateway (the predecessor/foundation of AAWireless) allows for this. Hopefully @Emil Borconi will be along shortly to answer more directly with how things have been implemented/changed in AAWireless and whether or not it can be done.
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
IIRC, that is an option that @Emil Borconi is planning for a later release. Right now the focus and emphasis is on getting the basics working and having a solid product in place that just works. Adding routing into it complicates things when troubleshooting issues. I think he said it would be in a future OTA update.
[Android Auto General] -Loom-:
I have my AAWireless for 5 days now.

Phone: OnePlus 8T - Android 11 (rooted)

Car: Volkswagen Golf 7 (Year 2019)

Headunit: Discover Media 8 Inch MIB 2.5 (Manufacturer probably Delphi)

Working smoothly with no hickups, crashs or freezes. Using the provided USB cable, although for me it could be half the lenght.

Had to initially connect manually, as the companion app failed to do a connect at all. Also I had to enable wireless projection, for some mysterious circumstances it was disabled. (Should be enabled as default with Android 11). Also I had to use "DIRECT" mode.

Connection time is very fast. USB gets powered as soon as the door opens, so Android Auto will start almost the same moment as the headunit has booted.

One minor thing that I noted: When I stop the ignition, Android Auto eventually terminates (as it should), but after 10 seconds or so it starts again. Maybe because there is still (or again) a bluetooth connection to the car. Of course the whole process failes as the headunit is already off.

So maybe I'll create a Macrodroid routine that disables bluetooth for about 1 minute. That would be enough time to leave the car and lock the door as locking the door finally disables car bluetooth.

But other then that, I'm extremly happy with this device. Emil has done a perfect job and I'm sure he'll iron out most of the hickups left in the future.
[Android Auto General] crazy-gump:
Well atm without long investigation it is a 1/3 on this household cars:

phone : Pixel 3

My Mazda3 BM 2016:

Default config work only if connected to USB after head unit start, it will loop [trying to connect AA, connect to car bluetooth, import contact to car, disconnect bluetooth to car]

Passthrough ON: work immediatly as intended. When I start the engine it will cut for 1-2 second and come back (same with AA wired)

My mother Renault Clio V 2020:

Default no Passthrough ON didn't work

My sister Honda Jazz 4 2020:

Default or Passthrough ON didn't work

At least it works in mine so it's perfectly fine for me.

Pour l'instant je pense uniquement sur Indiegogo (j'ai reçu le mien aujourd'hui, est prévu ce week-end)
[Android Auto General] Talderon:
Hey, this is great news! I am glad to hear it is on the radar. :)

I'll keep my eyes open for it and maybe I can even Beta Test it. :)

(I'm a Cloud Solutions Architect and am good with testing)
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
My friend has a leaf and I didn't realise that EV's still use a regular battery to run the ancillaries so leaving it plugged in should not affect your range? It should just be the same as in our ICE cars and take power from the lead acid style battery?
[Android Auto General] mapinkerton:
It's a complex issue, but surprisingly common so the devs are working on a solution for exactly that. I don't have any details or timeline, but stay tuned!
[Android Auto General] jbeuree:
Great to know. I wouldn't really expect them to address this very quickly as I know there's bigger connectivity issues they probably need to look at first. I'm just happy to have my old OnePlus One working with android auto again. The USB port charges but can't get a data connection to anything, so getting a way to run android auto without USB gives me an excuse to keep it around longer.
[Android Auto General] Dragoshiz:
The developers are working on a fix, in the near future, there will be an update (after the coming update).
[Android Auto General] jahandy:
Yes, you're right, thanks! I figured that since the 12V regular car battery is topped up by the Li-ion EV battery any constantly powered auxiliary device might drain the latter. I just read up on that and apparently the recharging of the 12V battery only happens when the car is on.

But as some members have already mentioned, a drained battery can hardly happen from the low power consumption of AAW when the car is in regular use.
[Android Auto General] bjones371:
I received my AA Wireless today and while the initial connection went fine, my phone appears to be one of the models that can't work out how to use mobile data when connected to a WiFi network with no internet access. I've enabled "mobile data always active" in phone developer options, and also the smart auto-switching in WiFi settings, but the phone prompts me to allow it to use a different network for internet, and when I say yes, it disconnects from the AA Wireless network. I'm using a Realme 7 Pro running Android 10.

Realme UI 2.0 which is based on Android 11 is due soon, and since this helped with Xiaomi phones I'm hopeful that it will also help with Realme.

The AA Wireless product itself is superb however, much smaller than I was expecting and very simple to set up and use!
[Android Auto General] TheUntouchable:
Guys, stop activating the "always stay connected to mobile network" option, this will not help!

Just ignore the warning from your phone when it tells that the wifi has no internet connection, don't click on yes or no or anything, swipe it away if possible!
[Android Auto General] bjones371:
I tried this too - it seemed to work for a short time before eventually stopping. The popup is also persistent and can't be swiped away, cancelled, etc. so the phone itself is rendered unusable when connected to AA Wireless (not a fault of AA Wireless I know!)

I'll disable the developer option again and try it out later on.
[Android Auto General] TheUntouchable:
On my Huawei I just make the gesture for showing the start screen, this is why I said swype it away, sorry :D
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
I agree, the "Always stay connected to mobile network" most probably will do you no better for internet access while using AAWireless.

Ignore the warning or use the button / gesture for BACK when the warning appears.

On my phone, the Wi-Fi Advanced Setting of "Switch to mobile data" with the text of "Use mobile data whenever your Wi-Fi internet connection is slow or unstable" needs to be enabled. See if you can find that setting on your phone.

[Android Auto General] astashio:
I've got the Pioneer AVH 4200 NEX and a Samsung Galaxy S10 - everything worked as expected right away after setup.

I'm going to play with the DPI so I can go back to split screen. I'm also trying to get the same apps to show up that I had when I connect via cable e.g. OBD2AA
[Android Auto General] andy o:
AFAIR Wireless Android Auto is officially supported on all phones starting with Android 11, before that it was only supported by some Samsung phones, and Pixels, that's why some people have to do these workarounds.
[Android Auto General] JohnnyCanuck:
I am seriously at my wit's end with this. I am huge fan of Emil's and actually have had good success with AA Gateway, but this is an exercise in complete and utter frustration.

I have a 2018 Audi RS3 (believe it's MIB2) and a Pixel 5. I can get it to work if I delete everything (car from AA, AA Wireless from BT devices, clear caches on AA and AA Wireless, clear data on AA Wireless and deleting the phone from my car). It then installs as a new device, I activate AA in my car and on my phone and have wireless AA.

Until, I turn the car off and come back to it. Nothing. Nada. LEDs cycle until they get to red and the devices starts over again. It connects to BT, starts AA on my phone, but gets in a loop "looking for Android Auto". And, to make matters worse, I can't change any of the settings in the AA Wireless Config app when it gets to this point (eg. I tried "Adjust Audio Timestamp" but now can't turn it off.

Any ideas? Anyone?
[Android Auto General] speedyg0nz:
Tried powering it with a wall charger to make changes to the settings?
[Android Auto General] JohnnyCanuck:
Yea, I did and couldn't get it to change that way either. Also used a sim card tray remover pin to reset the device.

But, I appear to have it working again ... not sure exactly what made it work. I am going to leave it overnight and hopefully it just connects tomorrow. Otherwise, I am completely lost here.
[Android Auto General] Spindlewood:
Are you using USB Mode = Direct? I've got a 2018 SQ5 and I am pretty sure we're using the same MMI. If you are already using Direct mode, are you responding to any screen prompts on the Audi or phone?

Also make sure you've got these Android Auto app settings set on the phone

Add wireless projection to settings (ON)

Request video focus on start (ON) - Needed for Audis
[Android Auto General] Cheesethief:
Working as intended on an VW RCD330 "Noname" 187B radio. Mostly. Two problems out of the box though:

1. The provided USB cable is either defective or just does not work with my radio in particular. The RCD330 does not seem to have the most tight-fitting USB port, so the type-A end wobbles around a little in the socket. But any small bump would make AAWireless disconnect and reboot. Lately, trying to use the included cable results in the RCD330 giving an error message stating "Device not supported." This issue is solved using some cheapo USB C cable that was provided with some other cheap gadget I got a long time ago.

2. USB stays powered on too long. This is a problem with the radio/car itself, but it is nonetheless a bit of a problem. My phone tries to stay connected to AAWireless even when I am walking around my home. I swear this little black puck has a better built-in wireless radio than my router. Solutions to this, while the devs are working on an update are:

A. Use a cable that has a power switch on it *THAT INCLUDES DATA, most don't!* Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QTJZD99/

With that particular one, results are... bad. . I am not sure if it is the added cable length, the switch or what, but it either does not connect, randomly disconnects or the power switch does not turn the unit back on. Cable works otherwise with other devices. The unit might not turn on because while the 5v is off, the data lines are still powered with 3.3v. It's also a pretty ugly sight in the car unless you can shove it in some cubby or glovebox.

OR

B. Unplug the unit after exiting the car. A bit of a pain, but this works every time. Also adds wear to the USB port... Either the one in your car or the one on the AAWireless unit.
[Android Auto General] zim2dive:
Just for completeness in case it helps someone else.. 2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL with OnePlus 7T

a) got stuck at Step 3 of config.. solution was to go to phone and manually connect to the Bluetooth connection from the AAWireless unit (one time thing)

b) in Android Auto settings (Android 10), I enabled Wireless AA

c) in Main Android Developer options, I enabled "Mobile data always active"

d) in Wifi preferences, I enabled "Auto switch to mobile data"
[Android Auto General] bjevers:
Is there any way using Disable Audio Sink to get the audio to play through the car Bluetooth? It just seems to play through the phone speaker. Reason I ask is I'd like to get Viper4Audio working while using Android Auto. It only seems to process audio when hooked up through Bluetooth, never when using AA.
[Android Auto General] JohnnyCanuck:
Yes to all.

I had it working and then it stopped and now won't work again.

Here's what I've tried:

Deleted the car from AA.

Deleted AA Wireless from BT.

Cleared caches and storage for companion app.

Cleared cache for both AA and Google Play Services.

Deleted phone from the Audi MMI.

Reset the AA Wireless from a different power source.

Manually paired AA Wireless to my phone's BT.

From there it just hangs on a blue flashing light (WiFi shows connected to AA Wireless, BT shows connected to the Audi and AA Wireless). After a couple of minutes, the blue light goes solid green and then solid red. On reboot of the AA Wireless, it doesn't hang anymore on the flashing blue, cycles through it after about 30 seconds to a solid green for a moment and then a red light.

I've also tried multiple cables.
[Android Auto General] TheUntouchable:
If you are added to receive the beta you will get it in the AA Wireless app as an update, yes.
