I'm having also gps problem with waze, disabled battery optimisation for aawireless, android auto and waze, I have passtrough enabled so tap limit isn't enabled and greyed out, so have you other suggestions? Thx
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Remove tap limit can create problems with GPS, there's a disclaimer in the dialog where you can enable it.

However in your case with passthrough enabled, remove tap limit cannot be enabled indeed.

In passthrough mode all data is directly passed through, so there's no way AAWireless can influence the GPS data. Please verify if the same thing happens wired.

Zkusil jsem start/stop. Začátek cesty je perfektní, při odemykání auta to krásně obejde živé USB. Ale po opuštění auta, kdy je USB ještě živé cca 30 sekund, vidím na mobilu nepřipojené spárování a spojení s AA stále drží. Proč se AAW po odpojení od BT auta nevypne a naopak evidentně vynutí? To také zabrání připojení k BT autu, když se vrátím do auta před vypnutím USB. To je nepříjemné, protože to na AA obrazovce není poznat.
[Android Auto General] diego1810:
Ok thx I will try if it happens also with wired connection
[Android Auto General] tomballpkrxda:
@Snirpo This was working great. Then today I had an update show up on in app for FW (and it looked like an update to the Hyundai fix) so I installed it. It looks like I am back to 2.0.0 now and this now is broken again for me. Was this expected? Can you give me access to the FW again?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No not expected, somehow it went back to 2.0.0, not sure why. You're now back on the Hyundai firmware.
[Android Auto General] tomballpkrxda:
@Snirpo It worked. Thanks!
[Android Auto General] SchwarzAugen:
Oops something went wrong please try again later... Its lame. Carplay better guys. Google failed to do this. Every time I press the voice command from the steering wheel I get this error. I unlock the screen and the voice command works. voice command does not work again when the screen is turned off. I tried smartlock so the phone doesn't lock in the car but the voice command doesn't work because the screen is still off. anyone able to solve this? Android 11 oneplus 9 Pro. Hyundai bayon 22
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@SchwarzAugen

Use Tasker and make a script to unlock the phone the phone when carmode is running (variable UIMODE = car).
[Android Auto General] Boosky:
Check the settings of Google Assistant (OK Google and Voice Match; Screenlock)
[Android Auto General] rodak:
@Snirpo sorry to bother you.

I have the Hyundai SSL firmware but like stated before my Sony XAV-AX5550D still refuses to work without passthrough enabled. The light is solid blue and I would love to use the extra settings that are disabled with passthrough enabled.

I'm willing to test and report anything you throw at me, let me know if you need any logs or anything.

Since the 2.0 update I've had an issue where AAWireless stays connected on the head unit, but the audio drops completely for no apparent reason. The app (Spotify, pocketcasts, etc.) are still playing, but there's no sound. This only happens once every 15-20 trips.

If I go into my blueooth profile on the phone for my car and disable 'HD Audio', the audio continues to play through the phone. But as soon as I enable 'HD Audio' over bluetooth the sound goes away again.

I believe the phone is switching to the car's blueooth audio for some reason and then can't play b/c Android Auto is active through AAWIreless.

Turning the car or the phone off doesn't fix it, I have to cut power to AAWireless (pull the USB) so it reboots. After it reboots, it immediately starts working again.

This happened after a FW reset two days ago and I was in dongle mode. I'm now trying dongle mode + passthrough to see if it fixes it.

Setup: AAWirless 2.0 on dongle mode.

Car: 2019 Kia Stinger

Any ideas? I'd love to help provide logs or get back on FW 1.12 again b/c I was using it for around 1 week before upgrading and it was fine.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I can downgrade you to 1.12., but please first try to enable passthrough mode. Passthrough + dongle mode is fully native. If it still happens in passthrough mode, the chance is very low it's an AAWireless issue (and it's an Android Auto issue).
[Android Auto General] smirle:
Ok thanks so much for all your help! I definitely want to stay on 2.0 so I'll continue to test and monitor the situation with passthrough enabled. If that fails, I'll reach out to you about the downgrade to 1.12.
[Android Auto General] andreaslev:
I recognized the following. When the car stops for a short time, the car's HotSpot and BT turn off, but the blue LED remains on. Even after several minutes it does not go off. If I get back in the car during this time and drive off, Android Auto is displayed but remains black. Even after a long drive, AAWireless does not get a connection. Only pulling the USB partially restarts the connection. Even changing the Wifi Time Off to a smaller value does not change anything. What can I do ?

Samsung S20+, Dongle Mode, Kia PHEV
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Known issue in 2.0 unfortunately, working on it. The device doesn't realize the connection is dead.
[Android Auto General] josefsch:
I tried dongle mode today:

first connection took really long, now I would estimate about 1-2 minutes - I was almost giving up, when it finally connected

after the initial setup, now it seems to be working fine, although connection seems to take a bit longer in dongle mode than in "normal" mode
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Dongle mode will wait for the handsfree of the car to connection to the phone, after that it starts the whole bootstrap process, so that's indeed possible. I'm pretty sure the Android Auto team did this to prevent all kinds of weird timing issues on some cars.

Disable passthrough mode in your aawireless settings then power off AAW. Clear your android auto data (yes data, not cache) now reconnect to android auto using your cable and configure your settings. Unplug and setup AAW, now it should work without passthrough enabled.
[Android Auto General] Mkoll4501:
I will be getting a 2022 RAV4 Hybrid soon. It has wired Android Auto only. Does the AAWireless have to be plugged into the main USB port under the climate controls or can it be plugged into any USB port? I think the main USB port is the only "data" port, i.e. it's the only port that lets Android Auto work when connected via USB to your phone and is the only port you can plug a USB stick with music into to allow the car to play that music. I think all the other ports are for charging only. Will the AAWireless work on those charging only ports?

I ask because I'm wondering if it's possible to have a USB stick with my music and AAWireless working at the same time. If AAWireless requires that data port, that wouldn't be possible unless there's some way to split the port.

I don't have an AAWireless yet. I searched this thread, the product FAQ, and Google but found no answer.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
AAWireless needs to plugged in to the same port as the phone. Most cars only have only USB port which is connected for data.
[Android Auto General] Boosky:
It's possible. Works in my car (Renault Kadjar).

But the car has to have 2 data USB

AAW still reconnects randomly and looses BT connection to between phone and AAW. Dongle/Pass/Audi A6 4G

With USB it works 100% fine so its not a phone or HU problem
[Android Auto General] janz25:
Hi @Snirpo , my aaw issue quite annoying, could u help to take look.

My device id: AAWireless-BpboTrw4

My ph: Samsung Z Fold3

My car system: mbux

Background: Im the main driver n wife is secondary , her app installed via google play, mine always updated with the latest beta app (firebase).

1. Everytime we started the car, aaw will connect to my wife phone first, always. After i dropped her off, aaw in freeze mode, unable to connect to my phone. I need to unplug n re-plug. Under paired phone, my phone is first n wife phone second.

2. When i drive alone, my ph unable auto connect to aaw. I have cleared all data/cache/android auto/Bluetooth, still not auto connected.

Im not sure what the issue n i suspected no 2 issue might be the cause of issue 1. Now i have uninstalled aaw (firebase) n re install via google play, but its still behaving the same.

Use a small USB hub; that's what I do. I bought a 3-port USB hub with a 6" cable on Amazon in 2017. It fits perfectly in the vehicle's center console. Unfortunately, the model I bought is no longer available. I use the ports thusly:

Music stick.

Smartphone (when operating wired).

AAWireless with 6" USB cable.

When operating with AAWireless for extended periods, I use another USB charging port in the car for powering the phone.
[Android Auto General] Mkoll4501:
This seems like the most feasible workaround for me. What product are you using? Does an unpowered USB hub work or does it have to be powered?
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
I don't know who made it; it has no label. I located the hub in my Amazon purchases from 2017, but the hub is no longer available, & the detailed listing isn't even there (broken link).

It is an unpowered hub & very small, which is REALLY nice. Sorry I can't be of further help, but I'd bet there are similar hubs on Amazon.
[Android Auto General] Shammy7861:
@Snirpo to look into ASAP If you have installed the app 2.10.0 when you have 2.9.0 installed all works fine but if you factory reset the unit and then try to set it up the app refuses to connect to the unit.

I have factory reset the unit and cleared all catch and installed the version 2.10.0 direct from the playstore still same issue.

If you install version 2.9.0 and then upgrade to 2.10.0 but don't clear the catch or factory reset the unit all works fine and communicates.

I do have firmware version 2.1.0 for the AAWIRELESS.

Thanks Sham
[Android Auto General] Boosky:
And you can use AA (e.g Google Maps) and music from pendrive in the same time?
[Android Auto General] Boosky:
Deleted
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes thanks for the feedback! I realized it myself as well, should be fixed in 2.12.0, is now rolling out.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
That's indeed not how it should work at all. The main problem is indeed your phone not being able to connect. Installing / reinstalling the app does not really matter in your case. The Fold Z is notorious for AA not working properly. Only thing I can suggest is clearing cache of AA, and manually pairing to the device via Bluetooth settings. If that doesn't work, a phone debug report might be helpful :)
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
BTW

I just realized something stupid. Phone prioritization is never going to work in both start / stop and dongle mode. Because of the simple fact the HFP connection to the HU determines the startup of AA. So the device can loop through phones, but only the phone which is actually connected to the HFP of the HU will start up AA. That's a big mindfart...

So actually in dongle mode or start / stop, you have to prioritize the phones on the HU itself, that will also determine the prioritization of starting up AA. I will add a disclaimer in the app that this is how it works.
[Android Auto General] Shammy7861:
Waiting for version 2.12.0 will test it out and confirm if all works for you thanks star.
[Android Auto General] Shammy7861:
@snipro All is working tested and can confirm.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
@snipro sadly my obd2aa app disappeared from android auto after three days.

Edit: I removed the app from AA shortcuts then readded it back and it continues to work... Interesting.
[Android Auto General] deceivr_:
Hi all,

I received my AAWireless today. I have managed to set it up to the point where AA is working as it should, however the AAWireless app is practically useless once paired - trying to open the Settings or Firmware Update gives me messages such as "Failed to retrieve settings, is your device powered on?". Meanwhile, the device is indeed powered on, because Android Auto is currently displayed on the car.

Pixel 6 Pro

Android 13 Beta

2021 Peugeot 508 SW II GT

AAWireless app beta

EDIT: If I plug the device into my PC and connect to it while powered that way, the problem no longer exists

EDIT2: Once I plugged it in to the PC and was able to connect that way, I updated the firmware to 2.0 and the issue appears to be gone. Hope this helps someone else in the future!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I think you just just had 2.10 of the app which was in open beta. This is fixed in 2.12

@Snirpo

Using Pixel 6 with Alpine iLX-F905D , AAWireless firmware Hyundai SSL fix, app 2.12 I have the following observations / problems

Without passtrough I see no picture on the head unit, led blue, theoretically connected status on the phone, but the head unit don't show android auto connection. you confirm that's kinda related to the SSL issue (unfortunately the Hyundai firmware doesn't resolve the problems)

So I stay passtrough enabled. But in this mode the Android Auto working well, but the phone calls are have no audio. I tried all available USB modes.

I tried to enable dongle mode. In this mode the Android Auto never start automatically. I need to open the Bluetooth settings on my phone, there I can see the phone connected to the car Bluetooth, and I can see the AAWireless as the available device. If I click there multiple times to connect to the AAWireless after some trial it connects and the Android Auto start.

If I remember correctly in v1.8 firmware I had no problems with the phone calls in passtrough mode (with no dongle mode enabled)

If I enable start stop, that's resolve the problems with the connection but after 2min30sec the device disconnect and reconnect again.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We have more reports of audio issues, which I find very hard to understand. I'm not sure it this is actually caused by AAWireless. Let's try something. I can put your device back on 1.8, let's see if it makes any difference.

Start / stop issue I don't really understand, this should work perfectly on the Pixel 6. I'll look into it.

For the dongle mode issue. Please try this:

- unpair AAW via BT settings

- clear data of AA

- connect phone via cable to the HU

- wait for AA to connect

- unplug phone

- plug in AAW

- pair to AAW via BT settings

Maybe you already tried, but can't hurt to try again.

I have zero issues with dongle mode on the pixel, so I don't really understand what can be wrong.
[Android Auto General] l3s:
Ok thanks, that's a good idea. Let's roll back please. AAWireless-DBFcpUEF

I have double checked the power saving related things but I didn't found anything related to this.

I'll get back to you with the results of 1.8.

Do I need a factory reset after rolling back the firmware?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Hmm if dongle mode is off, it should be fine, I'm setting it to 1.8 now.

UPDATE: Sorry, I can't put the device back to 1.8 right now. Have to make some changes in the database to make it possible. Will do so in a few hours. I did set it to 1.12.0 though, which should be 99% the same.
[Android Auto General] l3s:
Many thanks!

1.12 solved the problem with the phone calls.

Right now its running in USB mode default, passtrough enabled.

I'm happy with it right now, I'll let you know if any problems happen. Thanks for your support!
[Android Auto General] janz25:
I didnt use/activate start/stop feature or dongle mode for my aaw. Will the phone prioritisation works? Btw, my car can connect 2 phone via bluetooth at the same time. So not sure how it can determine which HFP to connect first.

And ur replied give me an idea by plugging my phone using cable to hu, hu request for aa initial setup (coz i reset my aa previously) then unplugged and plug back aaw. Which after, my ph auto connected to aaw immediately and choose my ph instead of my wife ph.

The other issue is about the frozen aaw, this was also mentioned by other user on 2 pages back. After it lost connection to the first phone, aaw is unable to connect to other phone, its just froze. Have this been fixed?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Well I'm not so happy actually, but that means there is a difference :/ we didn't really change anything in this regard, so it's probably a side effect of something else. Are you willing to test beta firmwares?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, phone prioritization works with dongle mode and start / stop disabled. Frozen screen when wifi connection is lost has been fixed in 2.1.0, I can set your device to that version if you want?
[Android Auto General] l3s:
Absolutely!

I'm more than happy to contribute
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Hi @Delecron,

I have a 2020 Palisade with 10.25 inch screen.

Hyundai has not yet allowed Android Auto to fill the whole screen. Here are some DPI settings to play with.

0 gets everything back to stock.

130 Shows more of the map, but everything gets smaller. I use this setting.

100 Shows Android Auto split screen, but everything is too small to be useful and it still only occupies the left 2/3 of the full screen.

Yes Hyundai powers up the USB port when you approach the car, and keeps it powered for ten minutes after you leave.

I know of no way for us to stop AAWireless from keeping a connection when powered.

LeRoy

p.s. There is supposed to be another navigation update coming out sometime in April. (They have always been late with recent updates.) That might allow Android Auto to use the whole screen. Please don't hold your breath.
[Android Auto General] DanGarion:
I have a question. I just received my unit. Was there supposed to be any sticker or anything on the bottom that says the model #, mac address, serial number, etc? Mine has no sticker.

Success with a 2020 Crosstrek and a Pixel 4 XL, but not without some minor issues:

After setting the DPI (100 or less gives me the split screen interface), the companion app won't reconnect to the dongle unless I force quit and reopen.

In Google Maps there's a little bit of drift - the map rotates back on forth even if I'm stationary or moving in a straight line. This does not happen if I connect the phone directly to the head unit.

[Android Auto General] osunick:
Hi all,

Got mine today, works beautifully with the Network WWS Netplay unit I've installed on the OEM PCM 3.1 head unit on my Porsche. I have a couple issues:

1. i usually have to force quit the app and reload it for the experimental settings to appear

2. if i turn on 'disable audio sink', the music plays through BT but the google assistant voice does not

3. I can't turn off 'disable audio sink'. Tried the 5 second hard reset, wiping my app cache and storage and reinstalling from scratch, nothing works. The UI lets me make the change, the device reboots after hitting 'save' and it's still there. I've rebooted my phone multiple times as well.

I bought two units so I'm using the second one for now, but if anyone has ideas on how to factory reset the settings, I'd love to hear it. The 5 second paper clip trick does reboot the device but the settings remain in place. Thanks!
[Android Auto General] TheUntouchable:
Have you activated the option (I can't remember the exact name) where typing is not restricted? That will cause the second behavior because somehow the GPS is not corretly used then
[Android Auto General] osunick:
Solved my problem- not sure if this was dumb luck but I had to connect the device to a charger and not the USB port on my car to reset it.
[Android Auto General] osunick:
Anyone know if it's possible to get Google Assistant audio over bluetooth? If I 'Disable Audio Sink' I get music over BT but when I use the assistant, the responses come over USB.
[Android Auto General] Emil Borconi:
Currently not possible, will check if we can add that, but it's a very low priority at the moment.
[Android Auto General] osunick:
Totally agree on the low priority, I was just wondering if something was wrong with my configuration. Thanks for the response!
[Android Auto General] -Loom-:
Now my VW MIB 2.5 did also reboot two times now. It usually occurs when a Spotify song has ended. But I cannot reproduce it - looks totally random. But never in the middle of a song. Adjusting audio timestamp didn't help aswell.

Let's hope for a fix from Emil. I won't use AAWireless for navigation at the moment. At least not while playing music in the background.
[Android Auto General] -Loom-:
... and today I made a phonecall within Android Auto. The audio quality was really bad. Afterwards I made a call directly with the phone function of the headunit and audio was crystal clear. Really a night and day difference. I'm puzzled why there is a difference ..

Yes, and unsetting that fixed the GPS. Thanks!
[Android Auto General] psmedley:
I'm having an interesting problem with a MY20 Holden Astra (aka Opel/Vauxhall Astra).

With the default settings, the car 'sees' the AAwireless, but fails to connect. The AA Wireless shows solid blue, and audio via AAWireless works, but if I press the Android Auto button on the car screen, I get an error on the car screen "Plug in a phone with the Android Auto App installed".

Changing USB Mode to Direct and/or enabling Passthrough results in a bootlooping AAWireless.

Any suggestions?
[Android Auto General] chickan:
Got my device and can connect to it, but just keeps flashing blue (not connecting to the car). Car does not see AA Wireless device and when I click on Android Auto it says to connect my device with USB. Car: 2016 Chevrolet Corvette, Phone: Pixel 5. AA works fine through USB.

Have tried 5 different cables, no changes. With "Passthrough" on, it just boot-loops until I connect the AA wireless device to a wall outlet and can get to settings to turn it off. MTP vs Direct had no effect either. Anything else I can try? I've read through this whole thread and several others are in a similar situation, though with different vehicles, but I have not seen any potential solutions outside of what is listed in this post.
