I enabled the "audio-stutter-fix" firmware for your device. Please give us feedback if it helped.

Same thing, hacking into the AA protocol and upping the max unacked messages. Can you give me the name of your device, I'll enable the firmware for yours as well.

For the voice commands I have no solution unfortunately. This is a very random issue, which happens for some. Maybe our support desk can help (support@aawireless.io). For the disconnection issues, those are very likely caused by the Xiaomi bug:

.

I see the SSL certificate on your device isn't updated, that's why only passthrough mode is working. You may have found a bug in the companion app. I'll look into it!
[Android Auto General] adryanovic:
Sure, thank you. The name of the device is AAW37f700fc. Many thanks.
[Android Auto General] ilyukha13:
Thanks. FYI, It did work fine with Note 10+ before I switched to s23 ultra
[Android Auto General] knighthw2:
@Snirpo I just tested it for more than 30 minutes and it didn't stutter in any song, even when using Waze at the same time. Now it works perfectly in any situation like when wired. I think it worked very well. I'll do more tests tomorrow, but the way it is now is already great. Thank you very much!
[Android Auto General] Tson0012:
Looks like there's a real active community here. I've tried to search for some 'best settings' for my Kia/Hyundai 10.25" head unit (for lack of a better term). I saw a post from @leroy but it was pretty old. Wondering if anyone has a 'best settings' recommendation.

Here's my issue. I've had trouble with AA Wireless since the beginning. Support was VERY helpful with recommendations to get me going again. The thing worked very well after making some initial recommended adjustments from Octoberish to Decemberish. Then it stopped working.

Another recommendation from support to enable the BETA track for the AA Wireless app got me going for about a week.

But for the last six weeks or more, I've had the same reoccurring issue.

I reset my head unit. I reset my AA Wireless device. I delete all my Bluetooth connections in my phone. I delete the cache and stored files for Android Auto and AA Wireless apps. The only setting I change is Wireless to 165 cause that's what worked for me before.

I can go through the setup successfully. It works FLAWLESSLY for that drive. Every drive after it connects, I can control Android Auto from the head unit, but audio comes from my phone speakers. Infuriating.

Hoping someone might have a 'best practices' for me for the KIA/Hyundai 10.25" .

Device Name: AAWireless-b455ee8b

AA Wireless App Version: 3.17.0

(Beta Tester was enabled in Dec to resolve an earlier issue)

Android Auto Version: 8.8.630424-release

Vehicle: 2023 KIA Seltos (this is a vehicle that has an always-on USB port)

Head Unit: 10.25"

Cellphone: Samsung Note 9

Android Version: 10

I'm at my wit's end.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
I guess enabling Developer option will fix Xiaomi issue, I have no disconnection since this over a week.

by the way , have you checked my video about playing video lags?
[Android Auto General] Radegast12:
@italodance

Did you need to set something in Developer Settings, or did you leave it alone?

I have enabled the developer and it still disconnects sometimes.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Set Wifi to 161, leave developer with enable unknown sources.
[Android Auto General] Radegast12:
So none of these choices have an effect on the Xiaomi phone bug.
[Android Auto General] adryanovic:
Thank you, it looks like it's been fixed so far. @Snirpo
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@Snirpo:

One question besides...did you guys find a solution to connect a second phone by bluetooth to the head unit with AAWireless?

See this thread here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/is-it-possi...car-bt-audio-connection.4268507/post-88246051
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
What they are talking about in this topic indeed possible by enabling "disable media sink", it will remove media audio channel from AA. So the phone will route the audio through bluetooth, when connected.
[Android Auto General] knighthw2:
@Snirpo after 4 days of using it every day, it never stuttered again. It's definitely fixed and even battery consumption is better now :)
[Android Auto General] daffyno:
same problem with S23 on NAC Peugeot.

with s22 no problem
[Android Auto General] daffyno:
did u use samsung switch to keep the app??
[Android Auto General] ilyukha13:
Yes, I did.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you confirm the device was reset on the first on the 1st of March?
[Android Auto General] daffyno:
could u check me too? Same problem...

18892f2f
[Android Auto General] ilyukha13:
Thats correct
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
I don't know when, why or how - but an issue with the voice recognition has gone. I have changed nothing but 10 of 10 tries are successful now. I hope that forever.

But, after several days, the second problem with restarts is pretty more serious than I thought. I can't see this typical for Xiaomi behaviour that AA connection breaks while the mobile data "switching". I can turn on/off the data and AA connection lasts stable. But in every 5-10 minutes I get AA-connection restart. It does not occur when I'm connected by the cable. Earlier I had Emil's AAWireless apk set on some LG phone working as usb-to-aa converter - and haven't seen this problem either (over 2.4GHz).

I have rooted phone and Macrodroid. Maybe you have some idea what the trap I could set to track this issue?

I have sent an email to the support and got imediate auto answer that "We will get back to you as soon as possible during our office hours", on Friday. Tuesday afternoon still nothing. ASAP seems be pretty relative in this support case... :)
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you please try the latest beta app in the Play Store? I cannot really reproduce this SSL certificate refresh issue, so hopefully it's fixed now.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Could be the car side as well. What's the name of the device?
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
If you refer to the voice commands: very small chance. I wasn't in the car service for any update, haven't seen any OTA update (which I actually get from time to time over the mobile module buitt-in to the car). But I don't feel upt to worry :) (until it come back).

But if you mean the disconnections - I have no idea. I can only tell that, as said, have not this problem over the cable or old AAW solution.

Generally I'm opened for any experiments that someone could suggest me, I'm technical man (electronic).

AndroidAuto-AAW6aa65356 - name of the stored module WiFi network, guessing that this AAW6aa-something is the device name (ID), right?
[Android Auto General] daffyno:
it does not work for me (v.3.18)
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Hmm, Alfa, we don't have any common issues with Alfa's. We could try to replace it I guess. I'll ask support to replace.
[Android Auto General] aer0zer0:
Just Installed it into a 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, works absolutely brilliantly. Thank you @Snirpo and @Emil Borconi for this adapter.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Hmm, for your device the latest certificate is installed on the device. Is there any possiblity to reset / clear devices on the head unit side? Otherwise please try to clear cache and data of Android Auto. Another possibility is to try to enable to "GM fix". I'm pretty sure actually it needs the GM fix.
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
Can't you see any chance that the problem might come from the settings of the device? Not worth to play with some Wifi channels, passtrough, whatever? Hardware is the most "suspected" culprit?
[Android Auto General] daffyno:
BIngo! It works with GM fix!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Passthrough won't help for stability. Wifi channels only help if the disconnections happen at certain locations (interference related). From what you're telling me it seems random (5-10 minutes), which could be hardware related indeed.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah I remembered from testing in a Citroen C3 this was nessecarry. Without getting into too much technical detail, the main problem is a wired connection vs wireless in non-passthrough mode is detected as a different "car" by AA. And this Citroen head unit (+ GM and some other brands) need a wired connection first to get through the initial AA setup. In passthrough mode wired vs wireless is detected as the same car, so it's not an issue. The "GM fix" hacks into the AA protocol to bypass this weirdness.

We should probably rename the GM fix.
[Android Auto General] daffyno:
ok, but remember on the same car i never had a problem with s22 and s21 before that (i use aawireless with great satisfaction from 03/21!)
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
Understand. I have seen it only while driving by now, so you are right it's not interference (not to the other wifi at least). But I thought it's possible that the car may generate some noises and other channel could be more stable... right, it's rather far-fetched idea looking on the frequency.

I really appreciate the offer of replacing the device, but maybe it's worth doing a test with other phone than Xiaomi yet? I can do it with some Samsung in about 2 days. I am the last person to look for problems in others before being sure they are not at my site. How do you think, is it worth or it's time loosing?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
For sure, if you have another phone to test with, that's always helpful.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Correct, Google changed stuff at some point which makes this "GM fix" nessecary (for non-passthrough mode).
[Android Auto General] jpalo:
I'd also need something similar, but for whole different reason: whenever car starts charging (or when I start remote heating), it powers on USB port in the car for a minute or so. It starts up AA wireless, causing my phone (inside at home) to disconnect from home wifi. This causes issues as phone loses connection to the net, and often starting the remote heating fails, or I need to refresh it multiple times to confirm it has indeed started to heat the car.

If I could just disable AA wireless connection when connected to home wifi, I believe it would work. I was hoping for some Tasker plug in that could command Aawireless and enable/disable it, amd then come up with some rules that would work for me, but I understand that is quite lot to wish for.
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
It seems to me that you must have rooted phone for this, but then it is not very hard to do. Easier with Macrodroid than with Tasker I think - if you don't know Tasker pretty good MD is easier to learn.

You can also disable manually BT in the phone when you leave the car and done (or disable it with MD). Sure, later you have to remember to turn it on, but inside your home you have no AA dusturbing.

So I will try to test it tomorrow then come back if still the same problem. Thx for your help!
[Android Auto General] ilyukha13:
Tried latest betta with and without the GM fix, but no luck. Still only works in Passthough mode.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
@Snirpo

Still awaiting your possible fix in the future updates.
[Android Auto General] jpalo:
I can disable BT using Tasker also without root. Initial tests show it might be a workaround for my issue. Thank you. Just need to set it to disable BT when I open My Porsche app, and start BT 1 minute after leaving the app.
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
Yes, but I've forgotten to tell you that In my case, if I disable BT only, something (AAW apk ?) forces connecting to the car-BT and AAW connection establishing again. So to get it working as you need, you probably have to disable Wifi first then BT after that. And later you can set wifi on back, as BT connection (missing) is the fire starter so wireless connection to AAW won't run in this moment. I'm not sure if it's important for you, but pay attention on it.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Hello, my wife loves AAWireless but we are having an issue. She has a Nissan Rogue 2019 and she had a Samsung Note 10+ and everything worked great. Then we both got new Samsung s23 Ultras and I can't get AAWireless to work. It works fine via the USB cable but then when I follow the instructions and plug in the aawireless my phone connects to aawireless but in the notification tray "Looking for Android auto" appears and it never connects. I tried resetting the awireless via the reset button, clearing android auto cache and files on the phone. I updated aawireless' firmware. I tried pass-through mode as on our old note 10+ we had drop outs and that worked well. I've turned off battery maintenance (to stop android and one ui from closing stuff to save battery). I'm a computer engineer so I'm not ignorant in these matters but I'm at a loss here and it drives my wife nuts as she misses the ease of aawireless. Thank you in advance.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@jpalo

@Netzmark

I have a very similiar issue. My car leaves the USB ports powered for some minutes after locking.

That means every time I walk by the car with my phone in my pocket, it will connect to my car.

Especially when I get out of the car, lock the car and I stand next to the car, the phone will connect again and again. This drives my phone crazy as the phone connects to AAWireless, stays connected for some time, disconnects (as there is no connection to my car's bluetooth --> timeout) and connects again. This will not end until I am far enough from AAWireless or the car's USB ports are not powered any more.

I worked on the following solution:

I have a Tasker script to turn off bluetooth and Wifi for 90 seconds after disconnecting from my car's bluetooth. The reliability is not the best. In a lot of cases, bluetooth is turned on automatically (even if I press the bluetooth button to off manually). I checked the logcat file. In fact the Google Play Services turn on bluetooth again.

But: I did not grant permissions to Google Play Services nor to Android Auto to change system settings.

I noticed only one solution: Android Auto has be force-killed through system settings every time my phone disconnects from my car's bluetooth.

I tried to automate this with Tasker with the kill app function. It does not work.

I have to open the app settings, click on force close and on OK.

In fact as Google Play Services turns on bluetooth again without having the permission to change system settings, is a violation of Google's own rules...

Perhaps someone could try to kill Android Auto with Macrodroid, turn off Wifi and bluetooth and check if this helps...
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Have you tried start / stop lately? Because it's exactly designed for this situation.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
What's the name of the device? (So I can check the settings).
[Android Auto General] branyo777:
Hi, I have the very same problem with AAW, using Xiaomi 12 pro and Carsifi adapter. I tried what I could but nothing helped to stop random disconnects. I read on some differend forums, it seems to be related to MIUI 13 and 14. There were some older android versions where it was fine. I was thinking about custom rom to solve it...
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
The Xiaomi issue only happens when mobile data is lost and reconnected. You can reproduce this issue like this:

This is on a Motorola MA1 and it will happen with all dongles or native AA Wireless HU's on Xiaomi phones.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
I tried Start Stop some months ago, but not lately. I will try. Thanks.
[Android Auto General] branyo777:
Yeah, thanks Snirpo, but what is solution here? I use online navigation, traffic updates etc. Is there any custom rom which could help here please?
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Thank you for the quick response: LGj7RcSt
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
The only real solution I'm aware of is by flashing a custom ROM, like Pixel Experience. However, beware this is risky and you can potentially brick your phone.
[Android Auto General] branyo777:
No problem, I had custom roms on other phones before. Just to pick rom which will not have similar problem and working GooglePay ofc ;)
[Android Auto General] ilyukha13:
Any other possible fixes you may think of? As I mentioned, it worked fine with Note 10 and Android 12, so something in s23 lime and/or Android 13 make it only work in Passthough mode...
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Hey brother I think you forgot about me. My wife's device is "LGj7RcSt". Thank you.

[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Hey what is going on with yours? My wife has a Nissan Rogue 2019 and she had a Note 10+ and it all worked well with AAWireless (almost the same setup as you minus the brand of vehicle). But now we both got the S23 Ultra and I can't get AAWireless to work at all. It connects but then in the notification tray it says looking for ndrpid auto or similar. But when we plug the phone in with the USB it works fine. Snirpo was supposed to look up my device but I don't know what happened.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Unfortunately every time Samsung releases a new flagship phone stuff breaks for some.

This may sound stupid, but can you try the following:

- unpair AAWireless from Bluetooth settings of the phone.

- Uninstall Android Auto from the play store. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead)

- Reinstall Android Auto.

- Connect Android Auto wired (with cable). Let it fully start up.

- pair with AAWireless, Android Auto should start up.

If this doesn't work, please send in a bug report via the companion app (settings --> top right icon).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Your device contains the latest certificate now, so I expect it to work now with passthrough mode off.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Snirpo,

I've done all of this already but I'll do it all again when she gets home tonight and let you know. We're you able to see the device and if everything was up to date and right? Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Brandon

I just purchased the AAwireless but I cannot connect to my 2019 VV T-roc with my Pixel 6a.

I reset the car unit, the AAwireless, the android auto app. The AAwireless flashes the green light, but the car doesn't start Android Auto. Via USB the phone connects instantly. I can see the AAwirless both on WiFi and Bluetooth. The AAwirless app asks me to enable wireless projection in the AA app, but I cannot see that option, what should I try?
[Android Auto General] acme anvil:
Wireless projection is in the Developer settings.
[Android Auto General] JohnnyCanuck:
Those who had it working and for whom it's stopped, I experienced the same issues when I went to move the unit in my car and somehow caused it to stopped working. I suspect I pulled the power to it at the wrong moment or something, but here are the troubleshooting steps that got it working for me again (and these are the steps I had to go through to get it working in the first place). These are independent of firmware version.

Delete your phone from your car's headunit.

Delete AA Wireless from your list of paired BT devices on your phone.

Force stop Android Auto. Delete cache and storage.

Force stop AA Wireless Config and delete cache and storage.

Go to your All Apps list and clear cache and storage from Google Play Services.

Start the Android Auto phone app, re-enable developer settings, and turn on wireless projection (and video focus as well). Exit the phone app.

Hard reset the AA Wireless device (preferably from a different power source than your car). You need a USB-C power cable and a SIM tray removal tool (or paper clip). Use the tool to press and hold the reset button, plug in the power, wait 5 - 10 seconds, and release the reset button.

Go to your car and plug the AA Wireless back in. Manually pair the AA Wireless BT to your phone.

Open AA Wireless Config and log back in.

If it doesn't connect, then switch your USB mode.

You should then get all the usual first-time connect prompts.

I have a 2018 Audi RS3 with MIB II High (I think) as my MMI and a Pixel 5 as my phone. Once I did all the above, works flawlessly again. The most painful part of the above is deleting the data for Google Play Services. That wiped out my Google Pay debit/credit cards so I needed to add those back in (loyalty cards were unaffected).
[Android Auto General] David_14:
Thanks for your help. I've not the possibility to choose android auto on my HU (or I'm not able to find it). The only way for me to bring android auto from "behind" when the switch is not done automatically is to say "ok Google". In this case the focus is given to android auto.

I check all options (were already ok) and did not find option to focus automatically on AA.

But cache clearing had a positive effect. Focus is still not automatic but the "ok Google" workaround seems to work again now. Let see tomorrow morning...
[Android Auto General] JohnnyCanuck:
Have you enabled Developer Settings in Android Auto?

"Request video focus on start" is near the bottom of the Developer Settings page on the AA app on your phone. Toggle it on and that should have your car's head unit switch to AA on connect.
[Android Auto General] r32inc:
Got my AA unit yesterday. Tried it out of my 2019 Leaf (my phone is a Pixel 3a xl). Works but the unit freezes within 5-10 minutes of use and only way to bring it back is to power cycle. I assume this is the issue reported in the lastest update on chip issues on igg?
[Android Auto General] David_14:
Ok I did not find this parameter before cause the French translation in AA dev settings is not really good. But with your help, I just activated it and... It almost works.

If I start my car (at least HU) before solid blue, it's ok

If I start after (actually most of the time cause I got child to install), it's not ok, need to use the workaround

Thanks for your help, we are close to the perfect behaviour
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Here are the LED codes. Added None / Black to the list

Solid Green, the device is booting, should complete in under 12 seconds. Both the Bluetooth and WiFi are not active until after the boot is completed.

Blinking Green, the device has activated Bluetooth and is waiting for a WiFi connection from your phone. You will only be able to pair while under blinking green.

Blinking Blue, the device has fully connected with your phone and is attempting to connect with your head unit via USB.

Solid Blue, the device is full connected with your phone and the head unit. The first time you connect you may need to set some Android Auto permissions and some head units may also produce prompts for you to answer.

Solid Yellow, the device is loading an OTA update into memory.

Red, an error has occurred, the device will attempt recovery after a timeout.

None / Black The LED will not be active when you first apply power for a very brief time. And the LED will not be active at all when the device is ready to be flashed from your computer. It will remain inactive until the flash program completes loading the firmware and reboots the device.

[Android Auto General] Lorhoriel:
I have a 2019 Corvette and have the same issue. I can get mine to show a solid blue light, but the head unit doesn't change from projection to Android Auto. When I add device, it recognizes the AA Wireless as Android Auto, but I can't get anything to display on the screen. I tried different cables, as well as clearing the data from all the apps and resetting the AA Wireless device.
[Android Auto General] psmedley:
This sounds similar to my 2018 ZB Commodore - which also runs a GM Mylink unit - I get solid blue, but can't get AA on the screen....
[Android Auto General] sam.lee:
Did you see any improvements or any other workaround for the audio skipping issue?

I noticed my spotify audio displayed that odd skipping once a while...
