Mine says the same.

Spoke to Zoltan via the 'Message Emil' link on Indiegogo & he showed a screen shot of an app showing that it had landed in the UK.

I asked for a link to the app & he sent me a link to the Royal Mail page which showed the same as it had showed since the 19th - no update.

I asked again for a link to the app he had taken the screen shot from & he said:

"I don't know why other tracking sites don't update their status, but I can send you a screenshot of our site"

& sent me another screen shot but didn't share a link to the app/site he was using.

Hi All! So I had the AAwireless dongle working perfectly for a few days with a mazda cx-5 2018. The phones connecting to it were a verizon branded samsung 9+ and a xiaomi mi mix 2 running lineage os rooted.

Today an android auto notification that says "looking for android auto" just kept popping up then going away whenever I attempted to connect to my xiaomi. Just happened over and over. Same with the samsung. We were using usb direct with passthrough on.

I tried all the TS I could find in the FAQ. But my AAwireless just isn't working anymore. I can't even keep a usb C cird plugged into it, any plug falls right out. I checked for lint in the port but it looks clean.

When I plug in the USB C cord that came with AAwireless into my phone then into my car Android auto won't start, is that a sign of a problem with the cord? My own usb c works fine directly connected
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
Just taking a guess here but I think he might be using a shipping portal on Indiegogo and therefore he can't share it with you?

My own two dongles are now landed in Australia as per the tracking email I got, that I am keeping an eye on, so I'm happy with that, should have them soon.

It's not uncommon for your item to be delivered and tracking still shows it's on it's way. We just have to be patient, they will get there when they get there.

I've got two cars to try them on, so looking forward to getting them going, fingers are crossed.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Indeed a known issue. Happens on VW Technisat units, well some of them... We are working on a solution.

That does sound like a semi broken USB port :( A bit odd the cable also completely doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm going to pass this on to the factory.
[Android Auto General] Dr. Fate:
That makes sense! I did use fermata auto last night with AAwireless. It enables me to stream movies to android auto. (I only use it parked) And it streamed well, there was a little lag but I am wondering if that may have did it? Maybe video streaming pushed it too hard and something on the board got too hot? The cord is weird because I know it worked before
[Android Auto General] Dragoshiz:
This looks like a hardware fault, please open a new support ticket at cpeb.freshdesk.com

so we can resolve the issue from there.
[Android Auto General] franners:
Looking better now, Royal Mail tracking updated 6pm 23MAR "We have your item at South West DC and it's on its way." Thank you.
[Android Auto General] Dr. Fate:
Hey thanks. I did but I am not sure it went through. I didn't get an email confirmation after submiting a ticket and when I tried sign up to check on the status it said my email was taken. When I tried forgot my password it says "You are not authorised to access this portal. Kindly contact your helpdesk administrator".so im not sure if my ticket was submitted
[Android Auto General] Dragoshiz:
Hi, please send an email to dragos@cpeb.it,

so we can check if your ticket went through.
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
Had similar problems with my Seat.... Random reconnects... solved it by downgrading my AAW device to V1.5
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
Thanks for the idea. I couldn't get Blue Task to control my Huawei watch 2, kept getting an error in Tasker. I did however use Autowesr successfully to disconnect and reconnect my watch from my phone. That seems to have solved the problem with playing the call through my speakers.
[Android Auto General] EViollet:
That's good news. Glad to have been of some help. 🙂
[Android Auto General] yahoo666:
Hey. How do I get the downgrade firmware? On the google drive link I got from support I can only find 1.8.0. Would give 1.5 a try if possible:)
[Android Auto General] :
can you check with an other phone?
[Android Auto General] :
i would love to try it aswell. By the way my samsung tablet S7+ LTE edition works fine!
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
i have a batch 1 device.... there are older files on the google drive... got my wifi password from the support to downgrade in the past

[Android Auto General] yahoo666:
Thanks. My device is a 3rd batch I think, so I got the 1.5 FW from the repository above, but when trying to downgrade I am getting "failed" error message. Appears not to be downgradeable.
[Android Auto General] HofaTheRipper:
hmmm.... maybe @Snirpo knows whats different between 1.5 and 1.8 and merge it together in a future version.

t

there is a 1.9? Not for my device...
[Android Auto General] whatsek:
After upgrading to 1.8.0 one of my phones wont start Android auto anymore. It connects with bluetooth but it seems that wifi wont connect, the phone is not looking for android auto. (Mi 10T Pro, with Lineage OS 18.1) worked fine with the previous firmware (I guess 1.7.1) But my other phone, Mi 11T Pro with Xiaomi.EU rom, works fine. So I assumed there was something with the other phone. After 2 weeks of reinstalling, clearing data, deleteting bluetooth pairings, it still does not work anymore. No problems using a cable, but that feels so 2020 ;-)

Can my device please be downgraded to 1.7.1 so I can check if that fixes the problem?

My device is GkTTQ55f

Edit: I see a comming 1.9 firmware, I can try that first if it will be availble soon)
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
I've never had any luck using lineage 18.1 and Android wireless on Xiaomi devices - always have random disconnections or errors connecting.
[Android Auto General] grac:
For my device too, WHY ?!
[Android Auto General] whatsek:
This was working fine for months, only not with the 1.8.0 update.
[Android Auto General] Dr.Klemphoff:
I've been having a lot of issues with AAwireless on both my oneplus 6t and my pixel 6 pro. 5ghz simply does not work at all. When on 2.4ghz it will often seem to buffer for about 1-2 seconds randomly, the issue is noticeably increased by switching songs or using other areas in android auto like asking maps to navigate, once the navigation command starts to load. My connection speed is over 300mbps, and normally I'd think using 5ghz would be a solution to this, if it could be used, because I have to assume 2.4 is too slow or something?

Also the AAWireless device has to be removed from bluetooth on the phone and readded about twice a week, or else when getting in the car it will connect and disconnect repeatedly, never loading the entire ride. I tried the troubleshooting steps in the FAQ, I think it was something like, remove contacts from either the car or the aa device's bluetooth. Also have whitelisted aawireless in all areas of the phone like battery optimization.

If there's a more extensive guide for either of these issues than what's in the app faq I can start there if someone has a link, but I couldn't find anything yet.
[Android Auto General] 12340987:
I'm having a similar issue, except I'm not sure if it's because of this or my phone getting reset. My phone is also reporting that it is connected to AA, but my car does not.

Halp
[Android Auto General] saves38:
I bought 2 AAWireless devices, 1 for my car and 1 for my motorcycle.

I have a sony xav-ax7000 head unit which also runs an app called Weblink, which I believe is causing problems for AAWireless to connect properly. Any advice or work around would be great appreciated
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Thought it's also worth mentioning that ever since updating from 1.5 to 1.8 I've been unable to use additional AAW settings. Previously I could use DPI settings etc but now I'm forced to use passthrough mode or I'm unable to get a connection regardless of default/direct/mtp etc.

I understand that you guys are pushing to get loads of devices shipped out but each firmware update seems to help some people while breaking functionality for others that had a fully functioning device - can we please please please get a means to downgrade/update our firmware OURSELVES so we can rollback if need be to one that functions best for our device/headunit.
[Android Auto General] matyyyu:
I have same issue - OnePlus 8T... removed all SMS, removed conntacts, passthru mode - still stuttering... :( For me its completly not usable.. cannot hear music...
[Android Auto General] jesus4c:
I have a 2016 Mazda MX-5 (Miata) and my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra (Android Version 12. One UI Version 4.0). AA (V7.1.614574-release) works perfectly when my phone is plugged directly into the USB port.

When I plug the AAWireless unit into the car my phone Wi-Fi connects to AAWireless, which then starts with a steady green LED and then changes to flashing green. Whilst flashing green, the message on my phone is 'Looking for Android Auto'. The AAWireless unit then briefly flashes blue and the phone message changes to 'Connected to your car' before immediately returning to the green flashing LED and the 'looking for Android Auto' message. It continues in that loop until I turn the car off. All of this happens regardless of whether my phone is also connected directly to the car via bluetooth or not.

There is a 2nd USB port available. I believe this one has less power than the first which is there specifically to facilitate AA. When plugged into the 2nd less powerful USB port, the AAWireless unit connects to both Wi-Fi AND bluetooth and I get an AA message saying 'connected to your car'. AAWireless has a steady blue light. But there is a 2nd message on the phone saying 'Looking for Android Auto' which continues looking. When I check the car's head unit, there is no option available to connect to AA.

I have 'wireless Android Auto' enabled in AA settings, as well as 'add wireless projection to settings' from the AA Developer Settings. And I have disconnected my VPN and have only 1 User Profile on the phone. 'Add new cars to Android Auto' has been enabled in AA Settings. 'Request Video Focus on Startup' has been replaced with 'Start Android Automatically' in Android 12 and has been set to 'Always'.

I have also tried changing AAWireless settings in the app - USB Mode to Direct and enabled Passthrough. This didn't help so I've changed them back.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
[Android Auto General] brettylight:
Is anyone running AAWireless on a Toyota 4unner? I have a 2021 with the premium JBL 8in system. My experience has been very hit-or-miss. Some days the device works fine, other days I get so frustrated I have to revert back to wired.

My main issues are constant audio skipping and random disconnects. The audio skipping has not been resolved through various firmware updates and setting changes. 2.4ghz helps a little but doesn't fix it. The disconnects are completely random and it seems as though AAWireless is losing the connection to my headunit as the indicator on AAWIreless stays blue. I've tried all of the USB modes and various cables.

If anyone is running the same combination, would you mind sharing your experience?

At this point I might give some of the other options a try and pick whatever works best for my situation.
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
I have the second gen aawireless hardware and a galaxy s20 5g with snapdragon with 12GB RAM. aawireless is on 1.8.0

its weird because after 30mins or so it starts to have dropouts when music is played via samsung music. i thought first that this is maybe caused due to interferences by other cars standing next to me on a red sign. Because then it always started. But after rethinking that its rather that after 30mins its starting to have dropouts regarless if other cars are around or not. if i power off aawireless and let it reconnect then its fine again for some time. Forced it already to 2,4GHz but it was the same. other settings are default.

Car is a Opel Corsa F (manufactured by PSA) with a Infotainment developed by Bosch. connected via cable i have no issues at all with AndroidAuto.

its really annoying and i'm already thinking about buying Carsify or the new motorola Android Auto dongle.
[Android Auto General] domi1066:
hello, i have Peugeot 2008 (PSA) with RCC (Bosch) multimédia.

I'd followed these instructions gived by cpeb.freshdesk.com (AAwirless support)

follow the steps below:

- Reset the device and unplug it afterwards

- Clear all app data from and uninstall the AAWireless app

- Clear all cache and data from AA and Play services

- Remove the Bluetooth connection from AAWireless

- Remove all phone mirroring/Android/AAWireless history from your car

- Restart your car

- Restart your phone

- Go to the AA settings on your phone and enable developer mode, check add wireless Projection to Settings

- Plug your phone into the car with a cable and allow it to connect and run through the initial settings

- Unplug your phone

- Plug in the AAWireless unit

- Download and install the AAWireless app again and go through its initial connection again.

That's had help for me...

@Emil Borconi

@Snirpo

I want to downgrade to Android Auto 6.8 as this release was a lot more stable than the recent versions. Unfortunately Android Auto checks through Google Play Store if Android Auto needs an update. Without update it is not possible to start Android Auto.

Therefore I patched the Android Auto apk with LuckyPatcher which means that Android Auto gets a new signature. With the patched version Android Auto does not start on the headunit (on the phone it works fine).

Therefore my question is:

How strict is the software of the AAWireless device concerning the Android Auto version on the phone? Is there any possibility to make the Android Auto check through the AAWireless device less strict? Thank you very much.
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
Thanks they told me this as well but it does not fix anything. Its still the same. I was rather expecting that they could check the logs why this happens than such a copy paste answer.

But what i remember is that when i used their app to first install aawireless it said in the an error happened at the end of the install process. but in the menu of the app the device was properly added so i simply pulled the usb cable of aawireless and reconnected. everything was then fine. it displayed it properly on the unit. i only still have the dropouts when playing music as described above.
[Android Auto General] carthorisJ:
I switched from Pixel 2 to Pixel 6

Reset the cached data in Android Auto

Deleted the bluetooth connection

Reset the AAwireless device with a paper clip.

Tried to connect both with the app and/or the bluetooth from the phone.

It discovers the device

It kind of connects but the Android Auto in the car does not start so the step of choosing AA in the car's headset cannot be done.

the car with Android Auto does work with directly connected to the port.

Just cannot use the AAwirelesss anymore which is upsetting.
[Android Auto General] carthorisJ:
I am having same problems.,

Any luck?
[Android Auto General] Wiesel1985:
Hello, I also have connection issues with the AAwireless device. I thought the disconnects are random, but now I can reproduce the error. Everytime if the mobile internet is gone and it reconnects, the device disconnect from my phone. So if I drive in a region with bad internet the device disconnects really often. Any ideas?

Phone: Xiaomi Mi 11 with Xiaomi.eu ROM (Android 12 , MIUI 13) My Car: SEAT Leon ST (VAG) 2019
[Android Auto General] jasalta387:
Yes. Since around end of May the issues has been solved. It should all work out of the box. If you tell what issues you have, I can give you some hints. Just start clean: factory reset AAW, clear data of Android Auto app in your phone, unpair AAW from Bluetooth settings in your phone. Note: you don't need the companion AAW app to make it work. Once it's all clean, pair AAW from Bluetooth screen on the phone.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
Hi,

Same phone, same rom, same problem on VW Passat 2017 MIB2 Discover media.

Played a lot with phone /AAwireless device/car settings with no luck.

Also tested on Skoda with factory enabled wireless AA head unit - same thing.

So, seems that it is not AAWireless device problem, but MIUI (some driver, or system app that causes such disconnections)

The only working option I have found is to downgrade rom version to 21.10.22 (MIUI 12.6 A12).

Actually first few releases of xiaomi.eu A12 roms had no issues with wireless Android auto, but can remember which was the last one (above mentioned is ok and I keep my phone with this version).

I do not always test new rom version, but time to time only, due to need to make clean flash every tyme to downgrade, which is annoying...
[Android Auto General] domi1066:
hello, did you try this:

Support

cpeb.freshdesk.com
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
Hi, you are reffering to different issue. I do not have it at all. In good coverage area all is great!

The one me and Wiesel1985 mention is: "Everytime if the mobile internet is gone and it reconnects, the device disconnect from my phone. So if I drive in a region with bad internet the device disconnects really often."

Seems it is not related to Xiaomi phones only - see https://github.com/cpebit/aawireless-issues/issues/83

Unfortunately for the moment I do not know/read about any fix.
[Android Auto General] cichy222:
The first opinions on the use of Motrol MA-1 appeared. People write that there are no problems with using and connecting to the unit in the car. Time will show how it really will be. If it will be as they write, I will spend more money on MA1 to have peace of mind.

For me now, when it comes to AAwireless, there are no major problems with operation and connection. The only disadvantages that I have are: - I need to force 2.4 GHz connectivity, on 5 GHz there are disconnections in certain places and no automatic reconnection. Unfortunately, 2.4 GHz is too slow data transmission. - the second serious problem is my phone heats up terribly when using AAwireless, it gets even hot, I don't know what the reason is.

Moje zestawienie to audi A3 8v i galaxy S21 5G
[Android Auto General] Wiesel1985:
My phone only gets hot, if I charge it wireless at the same time.

Motorola MA1 is maybe a good idea, if the issues wont be fixed soon. Maybe Carsifi is also a possible choice.
[Android Auto General] sibesaver:
While I'm only experiencing dropouts very infrequently, I too may investigate the MA1 at some future point because the pace of development with AAwireless is disappointing. I get all the issues with the chips but the software still needs to continue to progress.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Yeah I get that they're pushing the product but it really seems to be being used as a paperweight for a fair few people. If xda users are having issues with connections than I'd hate to see what happens once it's off indigogo. Software/firmwares need some love for sure.
[Android Auto General] steevieg:
FWIW

I have a 2020 Mazda MX5. I have a OnePlus 9 Pro. It's been working flawlessly before so I had never bothered updating firmware. However, OnePlus pushed out a new update to their phone which I believe updated to Android 12 (OxygenOS12 I believe) and that's when everything hit the fan.

So I tried everything, updated firmware, hard reset the unit, reset my car settings to factory settings. Nothing worked. However, I saw someone post about using the passthrough option and that has seemed to work for me.
[Android Auto General] LM1970:
Ciao. Received yesterday after 3 months. I have a Citroën C4 III (2021), Galaxy S20 phone, and the dongle hardly connects to the phone and only once connected to the car. Furthermore, it comes with a normal USB plug and not C which is the car input. I therefore have to use a usb to usb-c adapter; do you recommend anyone? I tried a couple of cables ... but the expense is starting to be a bit too much ... How is the compatibility with my car which is very recent? Thank you.​

Update: the problem was the cable, not all are good even if they have the same connector. Now on S22
[Android Auto General] markcoopz:
Hi, I am getting EXACTLY the same issues as you on my 2019 mazda CX-30 & have tried the same things as you. I 'm using a Xiaomi Mi11 phone. At 1st I thought it was a Xiaomi problem but after reading your post it seems to point to either Mazda or AAWireless.

What I noticed, when have the dongle is in the 2nd (non AA) USB port both the phones bluetooth to car connection & the bluetooth to AAWireless connection are stable & connected with a flashing blue LED. If I then swap the dongle onto the 1st (AA) USB port the LED starts flashing green & in my phones bluetooth settings the AAWireless connection keeps dropping out & reconnecting every couple of seconds. The issue seems to be that I cannot get a stable AAW bluetooth connection with both car & phone at the same time when using the 1st USB port (the one the car needs for AA to work).

I dont know what else to try.
[Android Auto General] jesus4c:
I'm guessing AA was already available in your car when you got it. My 2016 MX-5 had in added (by Mazda) about 12 months ago - and it works perfectly with my phone attached via cable. But - no luck whatsoever with AAWireless. I've also done everything you mentioned and nothing's worked - including 'Passthrough'. :(

(How absolutely awesome are these cars, BTW!!)
[Android Auto General] jesus4c:
Yes - I'm at a loss now too. I've tried a 2nd Galaxy Note20 with exactly the same results. And same with a Galaxy S21.

Was your AA part of the car when you bought it, or was it an after-market installation (like mine)? I agree it sounds like Mazda or AAW. Odd though, that AA via cable works perfectly well - which seems to indicate it's not Mazda. Maybe we just got a couple of dodgy AAW units...

I wonder if anyone else who's had AA installed after-market in a Mazda are have the same issues.....?

I've sure you've tried all this, but below is the reply I got from AAWireless Support. I've since emailed back to say that it didn't work:

Try to change the USB-C cable, sometimes the disconnections can be caused by the cable.

Try all USB modes with and without having "Passthrough" enabled.

Please follow the steps below:

- Reset the device and unplug it afterwards

- Clear all app data from and uninstall the AAWireless app

- Clear all cache and data from AA and Play services

- Remove the Bluetooth connection from AAWireless

- Remove all phone mirroring/Android/AAWireless history from your car

- Restart your car

- Restart your phone

- Go to the AA settings on your phone and enable developer mode, check add wireless Projection to Settings

- Plug your phone into the car with a cable and allow it to connect and run through the initial settings

- Unplug your phone

- Plug in the AAWireless unit

- Download and install the AAWireless app again and go through its initial connection again
[Android Auto General] markcoopz:
My AA didn't come factory fitted but I got the Mazda dealer to put it in before I bought the car, by the way its a CX-3 I've got not a CX-30 as my post said, not that it makes a difference..

I have already tried all of the suggestions with no result. Tonight I have just totally wiped & factory reset my phone, I'll try again tomorrow with a clean install just in case there was software on the phone holding it up.

If no results after that its going into the box & I'm back to using wired AA which works perfectly. I'll let you know what happens.
