I had this with all my media apps over the weekend. I force stopped Android Auto and cleared it's cache, then everything worked again. Worth a try
[Android Auto General] diggedy:
Unfortunately it didn't work. Waze is playing sound through the speakers, just not spotify
[Android Auto General] brackenhill_mob:
You did stop and clear cache on Android Auto didn't you? Your reply suggests you did it on Waze...
[Android Auto General] diggedy:
Definitely cleared the cache on android auto

Thank you!
[Android Auto General] Diesel80:
Just cheked this mornig and i was on next release (not latest). Execute the normale upgrade at last release proposed by the app and device rebooted flawless by itself.

I did't use car for two day in a row. Maybe the long time withous usb power did some strong effect?

BTW i didn't do anything special to force reboot (just the power cut off of USB on sto engine after reach destination and parking)
[Android Auto General] DroidShift79:
Long time no see, cos no issues on my side for a long time :) Still loving my AAWireless.

I'm on a long road trip these days unfortunately I have learned, I can't run a VPN (WireGuard) on my phone and keep AA working. What I'm trying to achieve is to reach my Homenetwork inside AA to play music from my NAS at home.

Is there any way to make this work?

Also, I'm still on Firmware 2.10, this is the newest one, right? As the app won't show me a newer one.

Is there any new firmware in the making? As always and like back in the days, I'm willing to test.

I do always update the app through firebase. But as I don't have any issues I guess I don't need a new firmware. I'm just looking for all kinds of new features you come up with.
[Android Auto General] diggedy:
If it's any consolation my other car has wireless android auto integrated and i can't run it with my vpn active so I suspect it's a Google limitation
[Android Auto General] diggedy:
Just posting this in case anyone else has the issues.

Support told me to clear cache on the AA wireless app, android auto app and Google play services. They also told me to delete all phones from the mirror screen app on the car, but mine doesn't have this option so I couldn't do that.

Sound is now okay but i do still have to accept the privacy terms each time, mildly annoying but I can live with it.

Seems to work okay although when I got in the car today it wouldn't connect until I unplugged it and back in. First time using it since setup so I'll have to see how that goes
[Android Auto General] DroidShift79:
Maybe I'm to naiv, I just thought there couldn't be a way to let AA use the normal connection but the rest of the phone uses the VPN.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Just a trick for people have disconnections wether MIUI or other UI:

Thank me if it does the trick.

Edit: you must be out of beta.
[Android Auto General] rayboehm:
Check your VPN settings. You should have a whitelist that allows you to bypass apps of your choice.

I'm using the Google 1 VPN, and have it set to bypass both Android Auto and AAWireless. No issues whatsoever.
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
Me too, please.

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Is this a recent issue? As in it worked fine before?
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
It worked fine for 5 month until the last days, now stuttering with two devices without any changes were made.
[Android Auto General] brackenhill_mob:
Sorry if this has been answered before, but has anyone else experienced AAWireless losing the ability to control volume (and other minor stuff) after it's been running for a while? In the last few days this has happened to me after I've been driving for about 30 minutes. It's as if AAWireless locks up. Only fix is to force close AAWireless.

I'm on latest stock AAWireless build. Not sure if this is an AAWireless or Android Auto issue.

TIA
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Then I'm pretty sure the audio stutter firmware will not help. We've been having more tickets about audio stuttering lately, so good chance Google changed stuff in Android Auto. But I'll enable the firmware, let's sew if it helps.
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
Thanks. Update is available then over AAWireless App?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah, it will be a bit delayed. Saving the settings without changing anything should speed it up. Please report back wether it helped or not :)
[Android Auto General] milanxx:
Lately, after stopping and turning off the ignition, the BT connection continues, the AA is started, but the sound seems to stutter and then either the radio stays on or the radio says loss of the AA connection. Then reconnection only happens after the entire car is actually switched off. It doesn't work on cable.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I guess you mean force close Android Auto? Force closing the AAWireless companion app won't do much (unless you're using start/stop).
[Android Auto General] brackenhill_mob:
You're right I did mean AA - my bad ;)
[Android Auto General] Agent Zach:
Received mine today and have had absolutely no issues thus far...

(2021 Chevrolet Colorado LT)

Is the device "rooted" & capable of running third-party apps?
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
I'm not an authority on this so I will defer to @Emil Borconi if I am mistaken. I believe that the device itself is not "rooted" and does not have any independent ability to run ANY apps.

If your phone is rooted and running 3rd party apps within AA, I believe the device will support the data flow necessary for those apps. I am fairly confident that the device is essentially "nothing more" than a "cable substitute" or "wireless bridge" that simply passes the AA data from your phone, mostly unmanipulated (there are a few exceptions, e.g. DPI manipulation). I do not believe you can actually install and run 3rd party apps on the AAWireless device itself.
[Android Auto General] Agent Zach:
Appreciate the quick response. Thanks.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
You will just need to wait. I got two units from the earliest batches on the same day, only one got the OTA a couple of weeks ago now? I just checked the other one today, it's still stuck on 1.0

I remember thinking after I got the OTA to rush over to the other and install it there, but it didn't work out that way, LoL.
[Android Auto General] sm753:
Yeah I know. I understand the point of rolling out OTA updates. But in this case...the OTA was to specifically address compatibility issues with my car! I've reached out to support. Driving out of town Saturday so it would be super if I can get this working before then.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
OTA will be rolled out to second batch devices from next week. This will be version 1.2.2 with some specific WiFi related fixes for the second batch devices. We were planning to release this earlier, but that went all a bit sideways...

All first batch devices should be able to update to 1.2.0. I fixed a bug in the backend few days ago which caused the 1.2.0 not being shown for some. If the update still does not show, please create a support ticket and provide your device name so we can investigate :)
[Android Auto General] mc01319:
Same here unfortunately.. Never achieved a connection with my Nissan Qashqai 2019 and Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus.

Great communication from Emil but it seems that the AA Wireless have compatibility issues with Nissan Qashqai.
[Android Auto General] siuengr:
I'll admit, I hadn't try passthrough since the update. Since is always called a boot loop before and it started working with MTP Retry after the update. I did try it again. It didn't work with MTP Retry and Passtrhough, but it did after I switched to MTP and Passthrough. I tried it a couple of times and it came up, so I'll leave it there for now and see how it does.
[Android Auto General] Bluffer94:
Thanks alot for the detailed explanation. This comment should be pinned.

Really helped me to understand things better.
[Android Auto General] Alakar:
Just got my unit today and having initial connection issues. Device seems to boot fine (solid greeen) then starts searching for a connection (flashing green). I go thru the app setup to step three where it starts searching, and it just sits there and doesn't connect. Looking at available wifi connections, I see AAWireless-isUpdSRR available, but it needs a password to connect. Is there a default password I can enter? Also, can Bluetooth already be connected to my headunit when I start the setup, or do I need to drop that connection before setting up?

Edit: I should state, I'm running the AAWireless app 1.7.1 on a Pixel 3a running Android 11 and my vehicle is a 2019 Honda Ridgeline.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You can try to manually pair to the device via the Bluetooth settings of the phone. However you could also be affected by DRAM issues. WiFi might still be visible, the LED may be blinking, but the SoC could just've crashed. The device doesn't necessarily reboot when this happens, it just freezes, that's what makes this issue very tricky.

An Indiegogo update will go up soon with a link to the tool, but you can already download it: https://github.com/Snirpo/aawireless-dram-fix/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
[Android Auto General] Alakar:
I found the issue. I had location services turned off and it looks like Android Auto requires them to be turned on. When I enabled it, everything connected nice and quick and it all seems to operating just fine. Thanks for the reply though.
[Android Auto General] cfg9000:
Audio dropouts continue to be the only problem I'm having. It's really a bummer to have 1-2 seconds of silence constantly interrupting podcasts/music.

[Android Auto General] rourky80:
I have the constant green issue, and when i saw the tool posted here i was eager to try it. I flashed aaw, it confirmed that it flashed but i still have the constant green :( . I reflashed, and tried again, then again...... still stuck on constant green.

damn, it worked so well the one time i used it in the driveway. i have high hopes. Pity i can't even get a connection to get a bug report to you guys.

Any further ideas, i was just hanging out for the tool to be able to flash and use. now totally out of ideas.
[Android Auto General] lastimpression:
thanks for the early access. can confirm this tool works fine on Fedora 33.

i will note for others: the 10s reset button press to get into "flash mode" does appear to be a very tight. it took me a few tries and i just ended up using a timer app to hit it.

since my device is in the affected batch i can also confirm the flash update significantly reduced the audio skips i was experiencing and my 30m drive moments ago was without any crash or other issues as i've seen before. i still hear a few audio drops but hopefully those will smooth out with the wifi fixes you mentioned were in the next firmware update.

great work!

not sure if you're keeping score on specific devices but it appears both my Sony HUs (XAV-AX5500 and XAV-AX5000) require passthrough. i've tried all other USB modes to get it to work w/o passthrough but neither HU will kick into AA mode.
[Android Auto General] psmedley:
With the latest 1.2.0 firmware, I get solid blue on both my GM cars - My20 Holden Astra, and MY18 Holden Commodore. However, the car is seemingly blind to the connection - even with request video activated. Any suggestions?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Constant green even after applying the "DRAM" patch is not right. Please create a support ticket so we can arrange a new one for you.
[Android Auto General] Cavin8:
Just applied the DRAM patch. In the ~15 minutes I was testing it out I can still manage to recreate the headunit reboot issue. However, it does seem that the headunit will not reboot in the middle of a song like before.

To get the headunit to reboot I have to skip to the end of a song, let it auto switch to the next song (when the next song comes on there is no audio for some reason) and then I pause the song. This will cause the headunit to reboot everytime. When the headunit fully shuts off the AAWireless device will also shut off, LED turns off completely. I suspect this might be because the headunit powers the USB port, but I am unable to test that since it is the only USB port in my car that allows an AA connection.

I am still on the 1.1.0 update for some reason so maybe that is causing some issues, submitted a ticket on it already. I also just submitted a bug report so hopefully there might be something in there.
[Android Auto General] Praxisi:
I've only had mine for a couple days, and haven't put many miles on this car yet due to pandemic, but I have what may be a Car Quirk to report: sometimes the car wakes up unattended, powers the dongle for long enough that my nearby phone connects WiFi and Bluetooth, and then complains with a red screen (seems to be Android Auto actual, not the companion app) it can't connect to Android Auto and advises to check VPN.

I have a 2020 Chevy Bolt EV, I keep it plugged in when not charging. I know the car is supposed to wake periodically to check and maintain the 12V from the HV traction battery, or it may be battery thermal management? I haven't been closely monitoring so I'm not exactly sure why, but the result is the USB dongle is receiving power periodically when the car is otherwise powered off sitting idle in my garage throughout the day.

It's mildly annoying to be interrupted throughout the day if I'm scrolling mindlessly, or the phone wakes from idle in response to pop open the red screen for me to find next time I unlock to check it.

I might throw on a Tasker profile to log when this happens, or run a scan on a RasPi and log when/for how long it sees the dongle or car online?
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
Sadly i'm not able to install it - "Update failed". Any suggestions?

Edit: After restoring factory settings it worked, i'll test the next days.

*** Update: on a trip of about 1 hour, not a single audio glitch. Thank you very much.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Ok, good to know. This is a total hack though, hacking into the AA protocol. I guess we can include it as an option in firmware 3.0... these kinds of issues come and go though with Google tinkering in AA.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
I want to use the AAWireless' Wifi as access point for communication with a camera. The idea is to use the same Wifi like my phone to be able to connect to the camera while using AAWireless.

Unfortunately I was not successful until now.

I tried different IP cameras. Unfortunately all needed internet. Therefore I'm looking for a 5Ghz outdoor offline IP camera. Does anyone have any experience with this?

The second question is about giving fixed IPs to the devices within AAWireless' Wifi. Does the AAWireless device support such a function?

Thanks.

As a follow up to the thread below, do you have a Network Acceleration section in settings with a "Switch between networks" option?

https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/wireless-android-auto-crash-reset-on-network-loss.68771/

I wonder if the option can be enabled on MIUI in general or if it's device specific. Also if it's the cause of the problem.
[Android Auto General] knighthw2:
Hi @Snirpo

I also have that firmware, and it has been working very well for about 3 months. I would suggest exactly that, making it available as an option in a future firmware update because it works very well.
[Android Auto General] festor:
@italodance the first time you didn't reply to the question, I thought you just missed my post, but I noticed you actually read it this time.

You seem to be the only one here that updating to stock MIUI 14 fixed the longstanding Xiaomi disconnection issue. Prior to this, you said enabling AA Developer Options fixed your disconnections. Then you more recently posted that setting Start Android Auto Automatically to "Always" fixes disconnections. Apologies about previously questioning your info, but maybe you can understand why?

I then notice you like to troll people with "buy xiaomi" when they post about issues with other brands so it makes me wonder if this whole thing is another troll?

If it's just some sort of personal grudge then maybe you can swallow that pride and think of the greater good? Instead of incorrectly posting "It has been fixed in n miui 14" you might actually be able to help others running stock MIUI 14 who still get the issue.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Don’t know why you are acting like this after seeing a proof, regarding switch between networks, yes it is off here.

refer to Automatically to Always, it is for connecting better whenever you start the car so it fixes the problems like no connection to AAWireless or delay in connecting. it fixed issues between car and aaw.

I‘m out of beta, by the way and disabled AA Developer, too. I guess those never have been a solution. Maybe worked on some beta versions, not sure.

if I didn’t reply you cause I did not have time to. It doesn’t mean I don’t care.

but if you think I’m a troller, then I will be silence here.

if you judge me for ignoring you, then check out previous pages to find out how many times @Snirpo ignored me.

I just wanted to share my various experiences with you, all. Nothing more than that.

At the end, I don’t care what you think about me.
[Android Auto General] Flame Red:
Hi @Snirpo

Wanted to report on the Stutter firmware after about 7 hours of driving.

I experienced several AAW random reboots. Some were just a few minutes apart while others where hours apart. No common cause I could notice

The Stutter still occurs but is a lot less frequent Much improved but not totally gone.

I will continue to test and post anything else I notice.

Thank you!

[Android Auto General] festor:
I didn't mention your posts where you harassed @Snirpo as a courtesy to you. You repeatedly asked him to "fix" and "work on" the Xiaomi issue even though it was explained it's not possible. You also repeatedly asked him to fix video lag, an option specifically blocked by Google which would risk the AAWireless app position in the Play Store.

You have made your motives very clear, no further explanation needed.
[Android Auto General] skanadian:
@snipro I wouldn't mind going back to 2.0.2 or trying 3.x. My Kia Stinger was perfect on 2.0.2 when you first fixed the Kia bug, but it's been glitchy since updating to 2.1.x and beyond. I'd prefer 2.0.2 but happy to beta test 3.x. DeviceID: pl2kf12W

Symptoms:

- AA "freezes" every 5-60mins and the audio cuts out for a couple seconds

- The audio delay increases each time, evident by Waze turning down the music to say something. It mostly syncs up before glitches, but gets farther and farther out of sync with each audio glitch.

- May disconnect completely but is way less frequent than the audio glitches

Is the firmware available for download anymore? I vaguely remember instructions on how to connect to the 10.x IP to reload it.
[Android Auto General] b0thunt3r:
@Snirpo for me it worked too, no more audio glitches, thanks.

[Android Auto General] afm:
My Redmi Note 11s does not have this option.
[Android Auto General] festor:
Thanks for the info. One last question, was it an update from MIUI 13/Android 12 or were you already on MIUI 14.0.2.0?
[Android Auto General] afm:
Before it was on android 12, MIUI 13.0.3.0, first Xiomi updated Miui 14.0.2.0 and Android 13, a few days later a new update, Miui 14.0.3.0, Andoid stayed on 13.
[Android Auto General] mata77:
Possible to enable for test? Thanks
[Android Auto General] festor:
Yeah, it was a very quick update and probably an emergency bug fix. I was just wondering if anyone who still had the issue after upgrading to MIUI 14 subsequently had it fixed by a following update.

Early days though, lots of devices still haven't had a second MIUI 14 update.

AndroidAuto-AAWI187621

My AAwireless was running fine since I got it a few months ago. The past month however, has been horrible. It will connect fine when I start my car. Play anywhere from 2-15 minutes then disconnect and drop me back to my main Kia screen. If I wait a minute or so, it will reconnect, but only briefly and this cycle will continue. Android Auto works fine if it is connected to the car with the cable. I emailed support, tried all their suggestions. Reseting the unit, clearing cache and data on everything, etc, but nothing works. Any ideas?

Phone is a Pixel 7 Pro, car is a Kia Stinger.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I'd say let's replace it. Please contact support and ask for a replacement. You can mention this post.
[Android Auto General] kgeissler:
Email sent. Thanks for your help.
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hi all, this is probably the wrong forum, but maybe someone has a solution for my problem. I really enjoy using Waze. However, the route is no longer automatically continued if there is a brief loss of connection between Aawireless and Android Auto. You then have to re-enter the route while driving, which is dangerous. Google Maps automatically starts the route again as soon as the connection is available again.

Best wishes
[Android Auto General] festor:
What version are you running? I had a similar issue where Waze didn't resume the route on roughly half of reconnections. When it updated to the Coolwalk compatible version I now get a popup asking if I want to resume, every time. Even if I ignore the popup, it resumes the route.

I've had a few updates since, but I'm currently running 4.95.0.3.
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
I use the same Version as you. But there is no Popup and no resume to any Route. I will reset the App and zest it again. Thx
[Android Auto General] festor:
Could it be your version of AA then? Do you have Coolwalk?
