(Didn't read thread at all sorry).

2020 Chevy Corvette C8

Got the device the other day, the setup seemed easy but didn't work the first time. I replaced the cable with the provided one and got it working. Not 100% sure the cable was the issue or the fact I didn't start the car completely (just tried starting the interior only).

Anyways I eventually got it connected and it worked fine.... but I ran into an issue. If I remote start the car it powers the USB hub where the AAWireless is plugged in. The AAWireless powers up and my phone connects, but when I eventually get in the car and press the "start" button the headset never is able to connect to the device. I have to unplug the AAWireless and re-plug it in for it to begin working. I also suspect the keyfob being close to the car may powerup the USB port also, but I'm not 100% on this either.

I was thinking you could "delay" start the connection on the AAWireless for a certain time (maybe configurable in the app) or something that may work as a workaround. I think the ideal solution would be if there was a way that AAWireless noticed the car's headset had started and began the connection at that point.

At least this is what I suspect is going on after a few days of driving it. If I get in the car and start it manually, it seems to work great. It's very responsive.

Mazdas CX-5 with Google Pixel 5. I got the AAWireless box last Wednesday and initially it was fine. I used a good quality USB3 extension cable today so that I can disconnect and reconnnect the AAWireless box at the USB-A end to save wear and tear ion te USB-C connector. This was fine for about 20 km. Now the iunit does not seem to initialize and longer.

When I connct the unit to my computer for power, it looks like it's going through a bootloop. It keeps flashing through solid red, flashing green, the flashing blue. The pne says it's connect then it goes to red and cycles again.

Help appreciated.
[Android Auto General] Spindlewood:
I am a beta tester with a different HU (Audi MMI). However, I had similar timing issues. The Audi boots the HU as soon as doors are opened, so we played with delays. However, delays only make sense if you're dealing with an exact sequence of booting between HU and AAWireless and phone. Remote start potentially changes everything since the phone is not in the car. What eventually worked with the Audi was the usb Direct setting. Likely won't work with the Chevy, but try it if you haven't already.

On the Audi, I'm dealing with the car's usb shutting down if I take too long to get in and start the car (after the trunk is opened and the usb is powered on). Once this happens, the connection between the phone and AAWireless is reset as well as the HU and AAWireless. This causes the same issue you've described.

As soon as I turn on the car (or open the door again), the booting process starts again. If the AA doesn't show on the screen, there are a few possibilities: if the AAWireless' lights are solid blue (AAWireless is connected to the car), I have to manually load AA on the HU using a HU menu option. If flashing green, the AAWireless is trying to connect to the phone - and should succeed. If flashing blue, AAWireless and HU need to renegotiate the connection. this is where the problem for me usually was.

An unplug has been necessary for me in rare cases to start the process over. If phone and AAWireless are connected, but the AAWireless to HU is somehow not working, another option I've tried is a reboot of the HU (special keyless sequence).

What color are your AAWireless lights? That's the first step to see what is going on. Try to figure out the exact sequence of power to the usb and proximity to the phone. If the phone is not near the device when usb powers up, you'll need the device to continually be retrying to BT connect to the phone. I'm not positive how long it will retry. Watch the phones connection status and see what happens when the phone gets close. When the phone gets close, also watch the AAWireless lights. Report back with this info and we can the determine what is going on.
[Android Auto General] Spindlewood:
When connected to your pc, it sounds like it is working as it should. You get the flashing blue, but there is no HU to load Android Auto on, so it tries a reset. I believe that's normal.

I presume you've taken out the extension cable and tried it? Try another known good cable. You can also try resetting the AAWireless (hold reset button for 10 sec) and retry pairing with the phone (but since you've got a blinking blue, that shouldn't help.)

What do you mean that the unit does not seem to initialize? You'll see a broken record here in terms of us asking for the sequence of lights. They tell a good part of the story. Does it get stuck at flashing green? Flashing blue?
[Android Auto General] Tenny:
Yeah I knew there were a lot of problems with delays, but if someone knew they generally got to the car 90% of the time within 30 seconds a user configurable delay wouldn't be the worst... but anyways...

It was previously flashing blue when I did the remote start and wouldn't connect. I changed to "Direct" in USB settings and it does seem to be a resolved problem. I only tried it a couple times so I'll continue to test. I don't drive the car that often (fourth car) so will chime in if it still continues to be an issue.
[Android Auto General] Viking2012:
Hi LeRoy,

Regarding widescreen support, did you disable "split screen" in the Android Auto display settings in the car? With that setting unchecked I would think widescreen AA would take up the full width of the screen.

Brad
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
No luck with the three released versions of the 10.25 screen maps the Hyundai has released so far. When split screen is disabled, you get a totally static panel that says Android Auto in bold print on the right third of the screen.

When using Apple Carplay with this display it can fill the whole screen.

Hoping they extend their welcome to Android Auto full screen in an upcoming map release. There is one due this month.
[Android Auto General] tomballpkrxda:
Thank you, I was finally able to get things working today. Turns out I was impacted by the issue in the FAQ called "Samsung phone only connects to AAWireless with the Android Auto app open". I was able to make the proper power settings adjustments and get it working.

It is kind of annoying that the USB port doesn't turn off with the vehicle, even if you exit. I had my phone connect to the device's wireless even sitting in my house or walking by my car. Android Auto tries to pop up on my phone at these weird times. How do you deal with that?
[Android Auto General] siuengr:
I did some more experimenting today. Tried in Subaru and it worked right away in MTP and no passthrough. Went back to my Acadia to try with some different cables. I was able to get it to come up once in the Acadia with the third cable I tried in MTP without passthrough. I retried with the other cables and with the car on vs started about 15 more times, but couldn't get it to come up again. The led would go solid blue in direct mode, but it never worked with that setting.
[Android Auto General] rale000:
Got mine a couple days ago, and had some issues getting it set up. My phone is a Samsung Note 9, and the initial setup failed, saying it was unable to connect. I tried resetting everything, clearing data, and manually pairing bluetooth, but it would still never connect to the device's wifi.

AAWireless lights would go from solid green, to blinking green, phone would show the notification for android auto, but eventually it would just time out and the light would change to red. The wifi network was visible, but it just never connected.

I'm not that familiar with android auto's protocol, but I took a guess that it was probably sending wifi credentials over bluetooth when it connected, so I took a look at the bluetooth hci snoop log in wireshark, and sure enough, it seems that was the case. I was able to use them to manually connect to the wifi network, at which point android auto started right up.

I don't know why the initial wifi setup failed, but now that the connection is saved, it seems to work normally.
[Android Auto General] jwedda:
On another dutch language forum I posted this as a little nag.. In my case AAWireless works amazingly fast and stable. Much better than expected. ( 2018 Focus with Sync 3.0) But walking away my phone keeps on trying to connect.. The dev responded that this was something they were working on. He himself found it irritating as well.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
@rale000

It may be that Wireless Android Auto is not enabled on your phone.

I have taken some screen shots from the version of AAWireless Config that I am testing now. It takes you through the steps needed to turn on that option.

The directions are in the attached file. It is in Rich Text format.

Working good on 2019 Chevy Camaro, with my Galaxy Z FLIP on TMO

Thanks for a great product love having wireless AA now and using my wireless charger in my Car again!
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
Are you using an aftermarket wireless charger, or is it built into your Camaro? If it's an aftermarket charger, where did you find to mount it? There isn't a lot of real-estate in a Camaro ...
[Android Auto General] dallasnights:
Aftermarket I picked up on Amazon

Plugged in Cig lighter with a long neck

see the product below https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TG7L6VM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Now understand I am on Galaxy FLIP so I use this with the charger facing upward, place my phone closed to use wireless charging cause on the Flip its on the bottom part of the phone, but like I said it works great

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
My wife's car does this too, and I wasn't sure what it meant but I guess the driving side would be part of it. She didn't use AA much before so I'm not sure how it looks via the cable, but at the moment it's quite handy as she has a phone holder that is in the way, so it suits to have it the other way around.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Developer mode makes the device act as a DHU (https://developer.android.com/training/cars/testing). So bassiccly it makes it possibly to develop AA apps on AAWireless.
[Android Auto General] milanxx:
Note to 1.15. Good at first but every day at start / stop, the connection time increased from 15 seconds to 40 seconds. The last connection ended with a black screen, but the sound went on. It looks like a buffer is filling up. Since the unit was blue, it was not possible to connect to it via bt. I did a reset but again I don't know why BT manages to connect to it in the car. So just go to the cell phone charger at home and it's over. I removed 1.15 from mbilo and downloaded 1.14 from gplay. We'll see how the connection behaves this week. Now AAW4X0T0tVy

@Snirpo, is the Slack site/channel no longer being used? Thanks
[Android Auto General] tomballpkrxda:
@tallleroy On my Hyundai Palisade, I have noticed that with passthrough disabled, when Android Auto connects the Spotify audio is off. Although it is playing (I can see the time incrementing), I must push the volume button in to get audio coming out of the speakers. If I use a cable, audio works as expected. If I enable passthrough, audio works as expected. Have you seen this and know of a fix? I tried enabling dongle mode but that didn't seem to change the behavior.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It's still used, but it's a bit quiet on the #aawireless channel.
[Android Auto General] dublus:
I searched around and wasn't able to find an answer to a basically simple question.

I'm wondering if it isn't possible to have 2 aawireless devices (one in each car) able to work correctly on the same phone. I'm asking because no matter what I try I'm unable to get either my wife's phone or my phone to work with both cars.

If a phone works with one car, when trying to use the other car the head unit will just say "Loading..." and never start working, even though the little light is solid blue. The only way to get it to work is to go into troubleshooting in the app and allow it to reset the device and also clear the data and cache in the app. Then it will work on that car but the other one will not work, doing the same thing ("Loading...") until reset device and delete app data and cache. Cars are Honda Civic and Honda Ckarity.

Hey got a fold 2 AA connect for 30 seconds shows maps plays music then reboots... It has latest firmware, changed wifi to United States, wifi mode hotspot, 5ghz, chanel 149.. now don't have maps show up... Help
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Yes it works. I have 2 AAWireless devices (one in each car) connected to the same phone.

Did you ask the support? Perhaps you have to send in a log file. You could also discuss with the support about firmware version.
[Android Auto General] RuMaDa:
Hi,

I got mine later last week, and i'm loving it, works great.

The only problem I'm having is gps audio lag on indications, either on maps and waze.

Is this a recognized problem? How can I fix it?

The car is an Honda Civic 2020.

Thanks and congrats for the great job.
[Android Auto General] dublus:
Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can get some help from support.

[Android Auto General] Arismfg:
Is anyone using sygic with AAwireless? I get a certain speed (which is the speed of the car at first startup) and does not change even when stop. Gps signal is fine though. Cant remember this happening when using cable. Anyone having this issue or any ideas how to fix?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Is "remove tap restriction" turned on? if so, please turn it off.
[Android Auto General] Aberk:
Have you had better luck with the dev version? If so, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot too.
[Android Auto General] Arismfg:
Ok, tried this too. No difference. This looks to be a sygic issue? On phone screen it works. With AA cable and AA wireless the issue appears. I tried another app (waze) and speed is reported flawlessly on AA wireless.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, please try, the more feedback the better. What's the name of your device?

Anyone else with Uconnect (and issues) who wants to try?
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
Something weird happened today. I updated my PSA RCC headunit, which is in a Opel Corsa F with the latest update. After this aawireless went crazy and was telling me in a loop between menu and the message that the date and time between system and smartphone must be the same. It was only two mins apart. But the title was saying ANDROID AUTO AUTHENTICATION ERROR. I assume that the car manufacturer was doing some updates to the Android Auto Interface in the headunit. Maybe a security thing. With cable it was still working. So the issue was only between aawireless and the car.

The solution was a factory reset of aawireless + enabling passthrough mode which was before never required. Very weird. Aawireless firmware 2.0.1

Are there any specific settings I should try?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
As default as possible, should be enabled now :)
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you share your device's name? (AAWireless-xxx). It does not work anymore without passthrough mode now?
[Android Auto General] bumpaneer:
Hi @Snirpo , wanted to follow up on this request.
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
Correct. Without passthrough enabled it ends in a loop of trying to connect and error message. I let u know tomorrow. I want to try to delete also all data from aa app.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
@x10isrooted, can you share your device name? I'll push the development firmware to you with SSL fix. This is probably same issue as on Hyundai/Kia.

@bumpaneer Enabled it

For both, you also need to use the latest alpha app: https://appdistribution.firebase.dev/i/5196d378c8e122d7 and connect to the device once (open the app while the device is on).
[Android Auto General] FrankieG64:
So far the dev f/w has been working well for 4 days now. My settings are MTP w/forced start and dongle mode. Those were the settings I used prior to installing the dev f/w. I probably should have reset them to default but forgot. Then I didn't want to mess up what was working.

Can I get put back on 1.8 please? I have a 2019 Kia Optima and the connection time went from 8 seconds to about 20 seconds now with the 2.0.1 firmware. Was there a delay put into the boot up because my head unit does not even see the device for about 15 seconds?

I am using the old Headunit reloaded app with a AAWireless dongle. With the last firmware updates, it's so quick and stable !

I only faced performance issues / bugs related to my cheap hardware. Everything else is perfect (and I am driving 200km per day, so I had plenty of testing time for the past 6 months).

[Android Auto General] Aberk:
Got it. I disabled the Start/Stop as I was still experiencing the issue with the new F/W. I'll run it for a few days and report back to see if that helpled.
[Android Auto General] x10isrooted:
I can confirm that with the latest dev fw for aawireless with the SSL fix it works now also when passthrough is deactivated in settings. No more authentication error. Thanks for the advise @Snirpo

A small side question. I tried the DPI settings to make everything a bit smaller on the display. but the opposite happened. everything got bigger. wonder which value makes it smaller. 300 and 600 seems make it only bigger.

[Android Auto General] antman68:
After suffering sudden non-connection issues (diagnosed as a failed USB port) with my original AAW unit, I received my replacement unit yesterday. I can report that I do not have any disconnetion issues - beacuse I cannot connect at all, exactly the same as with the original unit. The problem seems to be the same or similar to that of @worldonfire but they have not been active on this forum for over a week so I don't know where they got to with teir problem.

The issue is on the HU connection side (flashing blue LED). My phone connects fine with the AAW but AAW can't connect with the HU. I've basicall tried every permutation of USB mode, enabling/disabling passthrough and dongle mode, resets to default settings and factory resets, uninstalling the beta AAW app and installing the latest non-beta, clearing data and cache from AA, AAW and cache from Google Play Services. I've tried 3 different cables as well as the one that came with the unit, all of which give me rock solide wired AA connections. I have tried the 1,12 firmware that came with the unit and 2.0.1. In my original unit, the problem appeared a few days after upgrading to FW 2.0, but it wasn't immediate.

In Default USB mode, the HU says "USB device not supported"; in MTP mode, the HU says "USB Error); Direct mode does not work at all.

I've reported this to the support team but just wondered if anyone on here had managed to solve this issue?

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It's definitely an HU side issue, can you create an issue on https://github.com/cpebit/aawireless-issues ? @worldonfire 's issue can be tracked here: https://github.com/cpebit/aawireless-issues/issues/124 , but it doesn't really sound like the same issue.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I guess you have the app from Firebase app distribution installed? This version of the app makes it possible to update infinitely to the same version.
[Android Auto General] antman68:
Done.
[Android Auto General] koolboyztn:
Already done that before i post with same result.
[Android Auto General] dscline:
THat's what he's saying. The test version of the app doesn't care if you already have the latest version. It will always allow you to update, even if it's the same as the one you have. If "current" and "latest" match, you don't need to update. Just ignore it until a newer one comes out.

[Android Auto General] EViollet:
Hi.

Have you tried resetting everything. When I updated to v2, I couldn't get it to work either. A complete reset of the device fixed everything and it's now working flawlessly.
[Android Auto General] sthrnsprtsmn:
Yes, I have reset both the dongle (multiple times at this point) and the radio. Cleared everything in android auto and play settings. Passthrough enable/disabled with every USB mode tested. I can get it to come on at times for a minute or so, but it drops out after that. I have had it almost a year now, and I believe I was on 1.6 or 1.7. The "device is not supported" message on the radio is the only issue I ever had before updating, which it does with my phone plugged in directly. Other than that, AAWireless has worked great before this, as it continues to do in my work vehicle (updated to 2.0.1).

Thanks
[Android Auto General] sc00bydoo:
What's the latest with MIUI phones?. Ive got a Redmi Note 10 PRO and before I purchase a AAWireless I wanted to see if it will work or not with this phone. I saw some posts about if you loose mobile data connection then it becomes a problem.

Im in the UK and have good coverage with very little mobile data dropouts.

Is it worth buying a AAWireless still with this phone?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I'm not sure what you're saying, 2.0.1 is available for everyone.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Bassicly MIUI > 12.5 drops AA connection on mobile data reconnect. If you have little mobile data dropouts it's surely usable. I think you have to decide for yourself though if you accept connection drops or not. Wether you buy AAWireless or the Motorola MA1, both will have the same issue.
