@tallleroy Would you mind posting your current settings for use on your Palisade? Mine has been working well, but yesterday I upgraded the NAV system from 5/2020 firmware to the brand new 4/2022 firmware, and I've been unable to connect ever since. Well, everything seems to connect and then I get a message at the top of the screen saying "Phone is not responding" and then it disconnects. I realize the issue might not be the 4/2022 firmware change but one of the previous two that I didn't take, so that's why I'd like to know your settings even if you haven't upgraded to 4/2022 firmware.

I have tried playing around with all of the settings but nothing seems to make any difference. Using wired works as expected.

FYI, the 04/2022 NAV firmware supports full-screen Android auto

Update: I switched to Passthrough mode, which I have never used previously, and it worked right away.
[Android Auto General] dscline:
Wow, I also have an EV6, and an S21 Ultra! I just got the car a month ago, and the AAwireless shortly after. I also had a few disconnects initially, and then switched to MTP and passthrough. Since then, I had ONE weird issue where music was playing, then stopped. I tried unplugging and plugging back in, couldn't get it to reconnect, then realized somehow wifi on my phone got turned off. Don't know how that happened, I hadn't touched my phone and it was connected before that. I'm considering it a fluke for now.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
@tomballpkrxda Thanks for your post, I had forgotten about keeping XDA forum up to date.

Yes, there is a problem with the 4/2022 update for our Palisade. For some reason, the navigation unit is no longer accepting or SSL client certificate. AAWireless Development is engaged with me and working on finding a solution. To get AAWireless working again, use Passthrough Mode in the Settings.

That will forward the actual Android Auto SSL certificate on to the head unit and the navigator will accept that.

Note that most of the neat extra stuff that AAWireless can do will not be available in Passthrough Mode. I am missing DPI settings already.

Also note that this 4/2022 firmware is going out to many other Hyundai, KIA and Genesis platforms. At this point it is unknown if those other platforms are affected. But I am highly suspicious that they will also need to use Passthrough mode to get AAWireless to work.

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yup, debugging with @tallleroy . Not 100 percent sure yet, but it seems Hyundai/Kia is actively blocking the SSL certificate AAWireless uses now :(
[Android Auto General] tomballpkrxda:
@tallleroy I appreciate the quick response here. I just saw your note on a Palisade forum stating that passthrough mode was needed, so I ended up with the right fix coincidentally.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Hi @tomballpkrxda . We fixed this issue. Fancy testing this firmware? I need the device name for that (AAWireless-xxxx), afterwards you can update via the update screen in the app.
[Android Auto General] tomballpkrxda:
Sure, it is uu5H9A4k

@Snirpo
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I forgot to mention in my previous post, when I was getting AAW going again in my GTI after no success in the wife's car, I decided to go into Wifi settings. Not having any issue but thought it couldn't hurt to change it to Australia.

The strange thing was when it booted back up the screen was only about 2/3 as big, maybe half. I've never messed with DPI settings as I like it normal so it was a bit of a shock. I reset it back to USA and the screen was normal.

Should that be happening?
[Android Auto General] bumpaneer:
@Snirpo I am having the same problem on a Sonata updated to the April SW release and would be interested in testing the fix as well if possible.

How long to wait before I can get the new firmware after I sign up?
[Android Auto General] 0BurntRice0:
Was unsure on where to post for some help, I've checked the FAQs although had no luck.

My device was finally delivered in the morning today. I have a 'Hyundai i30N 2019' with a 'Samsung S10 5G'. The setup seemed to go smoothly except for the part where android auto never got detected by my car. Using a cable works. My phone displays the notifications 'Android Auto - connected to your car' but also 'Looking for Android Auto'

I attempted to enable and disable passthrough and also tried different options for the USB Mode without any luck.

I have enabled screen projection and wireless options within the developer settings of AA
[Android Auto General] papabear73:
Hi, I have the same issue, rebooting head unit (VW logo appearing during the process) while using Spotify or Tidal or TuneIn since FW 1.8. Please note there is no song change in TuneIn. I have a Passat GTE (2016) and had been using AA Wireless for a long time without issues. No FW was changes in the car. I may be wrong but I also believe that a wrong cable may reboot the AA Wireless, and not the head unit. Train version is MST2_EU_VW_P0619D. MU version is 0743.

Can anyone help here? The AAW box does definitely something through the USB port that makes the head unit reboot. If I use the phone with direct cable connection, no reboot is happening.
[Android Auto General] donverse:
I have very seldom stutters, but apart from this, AAwireless has transformed the way I use Android Auto. This is an absolutely amazing piece of hardware & accompanying software and I want to express my sincere thank you to the team.
[Android Auto General] antman68:
I've started having the same problem this afternoon after my unit working pretty flawlessly (in passthrough mode) for several months. After getting occasional disconnections when going over larger speed bumps or hitting potholes, etc. I decided to try a brand new cable. The headunit would not recognise the AAWireless consistently: sometimes it would show up briefly in the device list for App Connect (the VW MIB2 app that provides Android Auto connectivity) and sometimes I would get a "USB device not recognised" message on the headunit. My phone was connecting to AAWireless just fine but there was no connection between AAWireless and the head unit. I get the solid green light with flashing blue light every couple of minutes when my phone is looking for Android Auto.

I tried another 2 cables (including the one I had just removed) and the result was the same. All 3 cables work to give a solid wired AA connection. I have tried resetting the AAWireless unit, both via the reset hole (didn't actually seem to reset anything) and the factory reset via the app, unpairing and removing the unit from the app, setting the connection up from scratch. enabling/disabling passthrough mode changing USB mode - pretty much everything I can think of. Still no go.

I strongly suspect a USB problem problem on the AAWireless, after only 5 months of use with minimal connecting and reconnecting via the USB port on the unit
[Android Auto General] ilbarba77:
Every time I use it, android auto on car display restarts after a few minutes, and then works without problems until the end of the journey.
[Android Auto General] Boosky:
I've got the same situation.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Sounds like an USB port issue indeed. You can ask for a replacement at support@cpeb.it , you can refer to this post.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You should be able to download 2.0.0 now.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
FYI I did some testing this morning on a Citroen C3, comparing to the MA1 regarding some lag issues on these head units (Wave 2). Both devices act exactly the same.

But more intresting was... I had to reset data of AA to get both of the devices to work. First connect was no go. So Android Auto might be in a buggy state at the moment (again).
[Android Auto General] smldmr:
Hi everyone, I'm using the AAWireless on my Seat Leon 2019 with MIB2. My phone is Samsung S22 Ultra with Android 12.

It works fine, excepf few things:

1. Sometimes, I need to manually connect the BT of my phone to AAWireless, so it start FullLink

2. Whatsapp calls cannot use BT, when AAWireless is in use. When I use AA via cable, it works fine.

I searched in whole thread but couldn't find anything about this. Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Auto General] DLCPhoto:
I am happily using AAWireless on my 2020 Hyundai Sonata Limited, with the Nav package, 10.25" display.

There has been a new Hyundai update posted: System & Map Update v16.0 on April 28, 2022. I am inclined to do this update, but wanted to see if anybody with the same hardware and software, who are also using AAWireless, are seeing any changes or problems with this.

This technology is glitchy and temperamental enough that you never know what an update will fix or break. I love AAWireless and would be pretty upset if the update broke its functionality.
[Android Auto General] nejc1337:
Does anyone know where the AAWireless ships from when ordering from Indiegogo? I would like to avoid import duties if possible (I have multiple possibilities for shipping addresses).

Thank you!

[Android Auto General] andy o:
Is this in reference to the previous post that claimed lag was gone when using dongle mode? Cause I also tested it with my 2016 Mazda 3, and it didn't make an appreciable difference. At first it seemed it did, but then it was the same. It varies, so some people who test once or twice only might get the impression that turning on dongle mode is what did it.

I also did a factory reset of AAWireless for unrelated reasons, and dongle mode was still enabled after that, is this correct behavior? I have AAWireless app 2.6 with firmware 2.0.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No, lag with video + audio at the same time has been a problem on NAC Wave 2 HU's since the beginning.

Factory reset to dongle mode is intended indeed. Because it should be the default. We only didn't make it default when updating, because of possibly breaking people's setup.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
If you're in EU or US, you won't have any import charges because we ship from warehouses in those parts of the world.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It will break normal mode, you need to enable passthrough mode, see a few posts back. We already have a fix for this, but we need to implement some stuff to make it work properly.
[Android Auto General] albertron:
Does it work with a rcd330 radio? In other forums I read a person who said that with the first version it worked, but with the latter it didn't. Can someone confirm?
[Android Auto General] Kingcool88:
Received my AAwireless 2 days after collecting my new Volvo XC90 T8 MY22 late and it worked like a charm right out of the box. Really happy i bought it!
[Android Auto General] farfromuman:
Update, I was able to get it working without passthrough but dongle mode is a no go. Also it seems to connect reliably only if I open the door and start the car, if the car wakes up by opening the trunk and starting the car a minute later it wont make the connection on the screen but the phone to AAW connects.

Ever since I got AAWireless app 2.6 with firmware 2.0 I am unable to use it. After resetting everything (Car Infotainment, Companion App and Android Auto) it connects that one time and that is it. It worked fine for the last few months using the non-passthrough mode and custom DPI. I have a 2020 Chevy Bolt and Pixel 6. I tried the Dongle mode and passthrough mode as well.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@antman68

I had the same issues and always thought it is caused by the USB cable. Replacing the USB cable did not help. I had to reconfigure the device. That means I set the USB mode to Direct and then back to Default. Afterwards everything was fine again.
[Android Auto General] nejc1337:
That's perfect, thank you for the info!

[Android Auto General] antman68:
I've been doing that for a few months whenever I have this sort of problem. It is then okay for anything from a couple of days to several weeks. I have documented these actions on this thread on a number of occasions) and have recommended the same to others. However, no amount of reconfiguring is making any difference now.
[Android Auto General] antman68:
A 2022 Volvo doesn't have wireless AA built in? I can't believe how slow some car manufacturers are to keep up with technology.
[Android Auto General] tomballpkrxda:
@Snirpo The new firmware update fixed the SSL issue with my Palisade. I restarted 20 times without issue

@tallleroy What DPI did you settle on with the full screen support? The higher the number, the wider the right side panel (Spotify) gets, making it more usable, but the larger the features are on the map screen, making it less useful. I ended up at 160-170
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
@tomballpkrxda

I am trying 190 dpi right now. Widens the Map, and shrinks the secondary display. Lower numbers shrink the map text too much for my eyes. Higher numbers increase the secondary display size, the map coverage decreases and the map text becomes larger.

Easy enough to change in the app. Go up and down by tens and find what is comfortable for you. Then try it for a couple of days. You know what to do now to change it if it is not quite right.

The device will restart and show the new display dpi each time you change it.

Wait @Snirpo said I was the only one in the world with a wide display at 190 dpi. :)
[Android Auto General] Winrahr:
Anyone gotten good results from shielding the device from interference?

My device has always dropped connection at a handful of spots from wifi interference, but ever since the 1.8.0 update that changed the wifi channel, it now gets interference almost randomly, sometimes even 3-4 times back to back as I drive down a street, which had made me miss navigation directions and just generally extremely frustrating.

Would be interested to know if anyone's done shielding to improve reliability as I doubt that all my disconnection woes will disappear even with the 2.0.0 firmware.
[Android Auto General] vencaw:
Good day. I have the same problem.My phone displays the notifications 'Android Auto - connected to your car' but also 'Looking for Android Auto'.Wifi connects, the phone loses internet connection, then wifi disconnects. This keeps repeating. I tried several cables.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Yes, I foiled the inside of my case long ago now, so you can't tell. You can try just placing it in foil on the outside for a test. People were using foil based food wrappers. I just went for it without testing and it has worked. I don't get the hiccups in music anymore pretty much.
[Android Auto General] andy o:
The 1.8.0 update did not change the Wi-Fi channel, it changed the bandwidth from 80 MHz to 40 MHz. According to Chiel this would have resulted in fewer disconnections for most. You may be an edge case, just like I think I was, but firmware 2.0 actually lets you change the channels, so if it’s really interference you should be able to do some trial and error to minimize or eliminate the problem.
[Android Auto General] Kingcool88:
The AAwireless worked directly without any changed settings. So don't really know what you mean?
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
When I changed my wifi from default USA to Australia it changed the DPI, so I put it back to get my screen size back to normal.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
He's just shocked that in 2022 cars are available without native wireless AA, and maybe that people are buying them. There is the guy with the new Audi also.

The Mk8 Golf has wireless AA, but not in the base model, though you do get wireless charging, the opposite of what you got before.

There might be a model of your car that has native wireless AA, there might not.

My bought a Skoda and I made sure she had wireless AA and charging from factory, two things I added to my Mk7.5 Golf as I didn't want the Mk8 myself.
[Android Auto General] Winrahr:
Hmm I've never had music stutters (other than when I had MIB2), only complete dropouts.

Wonder if I'm also having some overheat issues since scientifically it seems to drop more longer into extended trips.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
In the early days I did get headunit reboots but not for a long time, or any other kind of disconnection, and before that the music would pause at times, so the foil fixed it
[Android Auto General] Kingcool88:
At the same time, this product fixes it. So don't really care to choose car after if it have wireless AA or not. It's the driving experience that is the most important :)

Wireless charging is standard tho.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Yeah, it's all good. Eventually both will be standard like AA and Carplay are now.
[Android Auto General] antman68:
What I meant was that I am surprised that, in 2022, a "prestige" car, like the Volvo XC90 didn't come with a wireless Android Auto connection, thereby rendering the AAWireless unnecessary. I guess I see AAW as a stop-gap for those of us with cars recent enough to have Android Auto but too old to have wireless AA built-in, not something someone would require to connect wirelessly in a new "prestige" car.

Did you try connecting AA wirelessly without the AAWireless, just in case?
[Android Auto General] antman68:
An XC90 is hardly an entry level Volvo and the T8 is hardly a base model.

I test drove a couple of Volvos a couple of years ago (XC60s) and they were pretty tech laden so it really surprised me that they haven't adopted wireless connections for AA and Carplay.
[Android Auto General] ilbarba77:
Do you have already tried with the new firmware ?
[Android Auto General] Kingcool88:
Yeah I tried without AA, no luck. But in next year's XC90 it will have Volvos new android system, like the other cars in Volvos model line already have. But right now it's buggy as hell so I'm glad I got the old Sensus system :)
[Android Auto General] ktulu84:
I don't see new firmware update from the app, is there a way to manually download and flash it on the unit?
[Android Auto General] adryesp2000:
Done the Samsung fix in Auto settings?
[Android Auto General] mbower712:
Only reason I updated to firmware 2.0 was because of occasional disconnecting issues. Updated today and now the radio doesn't switch the audio. Everything connects like it should, but it doesn't shut off the radio audio. It'll play Spotify and phonecalls OVER the radio audio. I didn't change anything, just updated the firmware. Let me know what to change back to fix this or if I need to roll back the firmware (if even possible). I read through all the posts but didn't see my answer, maybe I missed it. Phone is Samsung A71 5G, car is Subaru Ascent w/ OEM headunit.

Thanks in advance, amazing unit and support
[Android Auto General] terminex007:
Is there a place to go for troubleshooting with the app / device & firmware update?

I am able to pair the device to my phone via bluetooth, and the app recognizes this, but android auto never launches. (yes I did enable developer mode in AA, and enable the screen pass)

I tried multiple time to do the firmware update, but if fails every time.

It downloads the update successfully

says "searching for devices"

often it briefly shows a little progress bar bar at the top of the screen

then "No devices found. make sure the device you want to connect to is turned on and ready to connect"

another note - people say that the app will connect the phone to the device wifi, but I never see this happen., and I have no idea what the wifi password is for the device.
[Android Auto General] Kenny Barclay:
Hello

Please can someone help me! Trying to set up AA wireless with my Lexus NX 450h 2022 vehicle and it keeps coming up with this message on the screen of the car every time it tries to connect which is every few mins. It wont let me past this stage. I know others have had AA wireless working in a 2022 Lexus NX so any assistance would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

[Android Auto General] ejufrhef:
ok so i was just down in the garage, updated the unit to 2.0.0, and it made literally no difference.

green blinking. no AA recognized on the car.

i changed literally every setting, passthrough, usb modes, dongle mode, wifi settings, factory reset, nothing. just NOTHING. all it did was flash a green light all the time. not the slightest hint of a connection, whatever i do...

that's it, i'm done with this piece of ****. (might be my phone, what do i know, but my phone works fine for everything else).

gonna sell it

[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
@Genebaby, you might try this combination. In AAWireless settings, select 'Disable audio sink'. You may be able to use BT music from your phone while your spouse is connected to AAWireless. BUT you need to switch it back off when your partner is solo in the car.

I said try, not sure if this will work. I have not tried this myself. Not sure what will happen to navigation voice prompts.

LeRoy
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Good to know. I did find it interesting that I didn't need to kill my initial Bluetooth connection to the car to get AAW going, so it's all better than expected so far.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
That's ok, that was a BT only function for when you couldn't be bothered plugging the phone in, ie a quick trip to the shops, why bother with all the connecting and disconnecting, just let BT do it's thing, you can take calls and "maybe" stream some music, but no access to Google stuff.

Going forward it will be AA all the way in her car now that there is nothing to connect and the limitations of the factory head unit can be left behind. I did think it was cool initially that it could connect more than one phone, so we were both connected, but annoying that one had to be the primary for streaming music, even when only my phone was connected. All good.
[Android Auto General] Nexus6P:
Just received my AAWireless unit and had a play with it. I have it connecting to a Sony XAV-AX5000 and the performance seems to be even better than a wired connection however the aspect ratio when using AAWireless is a bit off. Everything looks a little stretched horizontally. Is this something the DPI setting can correct?
[Android Auto General] mc01319:
Yes, I have the latest version of Android Auto: 6.2.610914.

I have a question, if I enable the passthrough option at config app even I am connected with the USB port of my PC I have sequential reboots every 15 secs. Is this normal?

Thank you !
[Android Auto General] jasalta387:
Yes, this is normal for me too. It's hard to change the pass-through setting to off. In other mode, the device does not "bootloop" anymore.

I did tried with 3 cables, 2 phones. Tried about 100 times. Only managed to connect to the head unit 3 times (once in passthough mode, twice on MTP mode). I had no way reproduce what I did. During the 3 times it worked, I managed to drive around, listen to music just fine. Even more, I didn't touch anything and walked out of the car, locked it, and turn it back on to rule out a bad dongle-head unit connection.

I'd say that my attempts made it to the database of head units available at https://www.cpeb.it/

Based on your feedback in the thread, I think we can conclude that the head unit of the Nissan Qashqai does not get along with the dongle.
[Android Auto General] mc01319:
Thats a pity, because I had great expectations.

From my experience I had none successful connection.

Anyone else with Nissan Qashqai guys?
[Android Auto General] Dragoshiz:
First try to enable passthrough, see if it works with that enabled.
