You can buy a second Gen if you need Carplay. First Gen devices don't contain the hardware needed for Carplay. I wouldn't call that being shut out of anything.
[Android Auto General] mike.s:
My old Sony KV-1204 Trinitron TV doesn't do HDMI or 4K, either. I should really be pissed at them.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, that's possible. Can you send the device name? I'll send the link to the correct firmware file.
[Android Auto General] fccolonia10:
That would be perfect. I sent you the device name in a PM

Is there a way to manually set the carplay resolution? Using Android Auto over Carplay on the 3.0 firmware the projected view appears to be the minimum android auto resolution. My device is AAWe31b96fa. My car is a 2020 Subaru legacy.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I enabled the dev firmware for you, this firmware should make use of the complete screen.
[Android Auto General] floofyfloof:
That worked. Only thing not working is car currently playing and GPS display, but I rarely use those anyways.

iAP messages are Enabled and forwarding is on Auto/disabled. Setting forwarding to Enabled causes CarPlay to disconnect shortly after connecting.

Hi @Snirpo please add my device AndroidAuto-AAW6dac45ed for beta test :)

Thx
[Android Auto General] braway:
Hey Snirpo,

I have a 2020 Outback and the same issue. Is it possible to get the dev firmware as well?

Thanks.

Device is: AAW2d136b4b
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah we also got a major patch coming which improves the performance of AA over CP.
[Android Auto General] floofyfloof:
Was that what was pushed in today's update? Responsiveness has improved quit a bit
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We're using video hardware acceleration of the SoC now.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you create a bug report with passthrough disabled? Can you do this:

Disable passthrough from settings

Enable debug mode (I think it's already enabled) from the bug report screen.

Do one full start of AA where it hangs on solid blue.

Send bug report from the bug report screen. Sending a bug report is easier when AA is running, otherwise AA will interfere with downloading the report.
[Android Auto General] Hirokiaaa:
I sent the data, but is it valid?

I noticed today that the Bluetooth named "Device 1" suddenly disappeared.

AA will start even if "Device 1" is not present, so there is no problem. But you definitely need to tap AA.

Currently, only the smartphone's Bluetooth is displayed.

And unlike dongle mode, the smartphone's Bluetooth is not connected, so you cannot make calls using "DA".

You need to talk on your smartphone. This has been the same for a long time...
[Android Auto General] kv1dr:
Maybe try sending your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to Samsung, to get S23 Ultra back? It's the same concept here. 1st generation just don't have hardware for Apple CarPlay. Even when you bought AAWireless, it wasn't mentioned anywhere, that it supports Apple Carplay.
[Android Auto General] snpetit:

[Android Auto General] Patrick3000:
@Snirpo Could you enable the dev FW for AAW7bba2cb3 please? I'm assuming that way I'll get the Carplay fix for Honda head units the earliest.

Also, did my debug log help figure out what is preventing Carplay from working on my Honda head unit?
[Android Auto General] stevem999:
Any more thoughts on this please? It would seem it is not limited solely to Xiaomi phones.
[Android Auto General] :
Hello from Switzerland. :)

I bought the AAWireless adapter today. It is the latest version CS317-EU.

I have an iPhone and I know that Beta 3.0 has recently been released so that I can use Apple Carplay wirelessly.

But I could not connect the adapter to the iPhone because the default wifi password (12345678) does not work.

So I then took the FiiO M11S as it runs Android as I don't have an Android smartphone.

The set-up did not work with the FiiO Player in the car either. Android Auto only works with the cable.

The AAWireless adapter just flashes green all the time. The software is currently version 2.2.0.

Is there any way to manually install or force the firmware update?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Please try to reset cache / data from Android Auto and / or Waze.

With Honda it's a low level USB related kernel issue. We are figuring out what we have to patch to make it work.

What happens when you disable and re-enable mobile data with AA running? Does the AA connection drop? Because that's what happens on Xiaomi. If that doesn't happen it's mostly likely a different issue.

Yes, there is a way to manually update. If you send me a PM I'll explain how.

To be clear: Please do not buy AAWireless for only CarPlay!!!! It's in very early stages and most definitely not a primary feature. It's a beta feature, it may or may not work.

Can you add me for the dev firmware?

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Unfortunaly passthrough was enabled in the logs. Can you try another run with passthrough disabled? After, please create a bug report.
[Android Auto General] Hirokiaaa:
I'm sorry. Turn off dongle mode. I turned off passthrough and submitted a bug report. Please confirm.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Did it hang on solid blue LED? Or did AA start up correctly?
[Android Auto General] Hirokiaaa:
The device is blinking green and has an error.

However, DA operation is required, but it will light up from blue flashing.

Engine on == Green blinking == AA not connected error displayed on DA == Tap "smartphone name" on DA == Blue blinking == Blue light on == AA connected.

If you do not tap "Smartphone Name", the LED will remain blinking green. By tapping it, it will flash blue and then turn solid blue.
[Android Auto General] stevem999:
It doesn't seem to disconnect when I turn data off manually myself, but there is still a cell signal. The issue I've experienced is disconnections when the whole cell signal is lost, not just data - that is when the AAW device disconnects. Thanks
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Hmm ok, now it gets a bit confusing, haha. So it acts differently when in dongle mode vs non-dongle mode. Or maybe the difference is between passthrough vs non-passthrough?
[Android Auto General] Hirokiaaa:
I also have various patterns and am confused. I'd like to have a more casual conversation, but I can't translate well...it's frustrating that I can only speak Japanese.

The difference in behavior is apparently "dongle configuration". I don't think passthru has much to do with it.

I just checked, the operation is the same whether "dongle off == pass through off" or "dongle off == pass through on", and AA can also be connected.
[Android Auto General] Matze0078:
Hello, I bought a used aawireless. can i install the adapter without andriod? I only have an iphone and carplay. I can't connect to the aawireless via wifi.
[Android Auto General] snpetit:
After doing this, i have still issue with Waze. Google Maps woking good. All other looks fine except Waze. With USB connect, i don't have this issue. I tried the passtrough mode also, but it was not helped.

My app versions:

AAWireless 3.28.0

Waze 4.97.0.0

Andoid Auto 10.2.633224

Can i download oldest version version of AAWireless app from safe place for testing purpose?

@Snirpo can you check your DM
[Android Auto General] MAX_G:
Hi Snirpo, Am loving the freedom ( and fast charging speed) now possible with AAwireless, am running Android on a Jaguar F-pace and would love to get the 3.0.0 Beta to test Carplay for my wife ( never gonna convert her to android)

My phone is 4K Sony Xperia

Car is Jaguar F-pace ICTP ( Incontroltouch Pro )

App is 3.28.0

serial number is AAW132d61a2

current firmware is 2.2.0

is there anything else you need ?

many thanks
[Android Auto General] Matze0078:
@Snirpo pls check your pm. I need more information about it. Thanks alot
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Then it's definitely not the same issue as Xiaomi. I don't really believe this is AAWireless related though. More of an Android Auto / phone side issue. Not sure how to help with that... You can potentially try the beta version of AA. Or when you're already on beta, try the normal version.

Hm ok that's good the know. What confuses me though is how the car acts. It seems different than before. In dongle mode the flashing green makes a lot of sense when the hands free of the car does not connect. In non-dongle mode I expect the device to go solid blue. Maybe we should move this conversation to Slack. You can join us at: https://join.slack.com/t/aawireless/shared_invite/zt-22rn00y78-rGCaGgop26o1b5Jjkc4DoQ . Japanese is no problem, will manage will Google translate. And otherwise our Korean partner also has people who can speak Japanese.

The AAWireless companion app has no influence on AA itself. It's only for configuring the device. You can fully uninstall it and AA will keep working.
[Android Auto General] MAX_G:
Thank You kind Sir ! much appreciated
[Android Auto General] Hirokiaaa:
I found out one thing.

When I start the vehicle, the device remains blinking green and an error occurs on the DA side saying "AA cannot connect."

However, if you leave it as is, the device's LED will become "Blinking green == Blinking blue == Solid blue == Error displayed on DA == Blinking green."

After the required DA error, it seems that the restart is repeated.

Is this normal behavior?

Is it better to move to Slack from now on?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, probably better to move to slack for direct comms. Would be helpful to have a log of this situation, where it connects, gets solid blue, but then restarts, with passthrough disabled.
[Android Auto General] ajokay:
Hi There,

I have an issue, and i'm not sure if its AA or AAwireless related.

I own a Renault Clio IV Bose edition (2019) with trhe Rlink car system.

When i connect my phone (Samsung A52s unrooted, running latest stock rom) with the car through bluetooth ,

It connects to Rlink and all 3 options are enabled (calls/Audio/Acces to contacts.

As soon as AA is started wireless through AAwireless, the audio option is disabled. When i manually turn it on it gets disabled again after a few seconds.

Turning it on gives better sound , since i guess it uses the audio settings in the car system that way. I can hear sound changing the moment it turns off again.

Is this a AA problem or AAwireless related? To get better sound i now use an android app called Wavelet. But i was wondering whats up with that audio option getting disabled.

I got the AAwireless 3.29.0 app and notoved some extra bluetooth options being added. These options can't be changed because it says i'm not on the correct firmware version (i'm on 3.0.0). So i guess these extra options are for an upcoming (beta)version.

Will these options help anyway in the issue i'm facing?

Can i be added to the beta firmware list?

Device: AAW1bcO433d

Hello,

Is this a known issue, that AA disconnects when the phone looses Internet connection?

I have the POCO F4, and as soon as the phone losses internet connection for a second, AA disconnects and reconnects immediately.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yup
[Android Auto General] kv1dr:
Yup. This is Xiaomi issue. The same goes for POCO. And unfortunatelly, you can't do anything about it.

Does the same thing happen with wired AA? If so, not an AAWireless issue.

Was already enabled? I guess support enabled it for you.

I enabled 3.0, but unfortunately you have a gen1 device, so no CP.

Sure, enabled. Same for your device though. It's a gen1, so no CP.

[Android Auto General] marias77:
As im having the same issues with my Toyota Rav4 I'm assuming there is a compatibility issue with all new Toyota models with the MY21MM units ( wireless airplay / wired AA ) and AAWireless.. it seems like the audio unit can't connect to Bluetooth if it was selected to run android auto and visa versa which causes handshake problems.. friend of mine works at Toyota and they tried the unit on the current corolla, rav4 and corolla cross and had the same issue.. but worked perfect with the older style Audio units that do NOT have the wireless applecarplay...if you need me to assist with a beta firmware to try resolve please let me know as it seems this issue will be affecting all Toyota owners moving forward.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah, it's becoming a problem indeed. Not only for us, but all native AA dongles have the same issue. It's especially annoying in Japan where Toyota is obviously huge. It seems to be a recent issue though, seems to be related to a HU firmware update. Also the Denso HU's seem to act differently than Panasonic. I kinda need a HU on my desk to resolve this issue though. If we can even resolve it... Can you somehow arrange one through your friend? We'd obviously pay for it.

The problem seems to be twofold.

- One problem is these headunits having some weird switch to either use AA OR handsfree. I have no clue why, it's a super odd design decision. This will break dongle mode, because AA expect the handsfree of the car to be connected, otherwise it will not start up the AA session. So first thing to try is to disable dongle mode, clear data of AA and re-pair AAW.

- for Denso HU's, once it does start up AA (solid blue LED), it hangs and after a while the session will timeout. When you press the "connect" button on the HU in time, it will start up AA.

- for Panasonic HU's what seems to help is to clear all phones on the HU side. Plug in AAW and let AA start up. Then do not connect the phone wired, because it will screw up the wireless connection. If you connect the phone wired, you have to clear all phones on the car again to make AAW work again.

Please join us in Slack for easier comms. https://join.slack.com/t/aawireless/shared_invite/zt-22rn00y78-rGCaGgop26o1b5Jjkc4DoQ
[Android Auto General] Hirokiaaa:
I made a grave mistake. It seems that the test was repeated with pass-through turned on. When pass-through is turned on, the light will turn blue, and you can connect to AA by tapping "AA connection" on the vehicle side. I'm sorry.

Slack is ready to use. How should I join the project?

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you reach other devices when connected to the dashcam? It's possible the dashcam does client isolation. If so, it won't work because AAW and the phone can't reach eachother. A better option might be to connect the dashcam to the network of AAW if possible.
[Android Auto General] davednut182:
@Snirpo Cannot connect using 2023 mg zs and car play have followed all instruction and connected manually, nothing happens on the screen and cannot access config via URL

Just to add when trying to connect using AAWireless it seems to kill all carplay connectivity as i can not achieve connection via usb cable unless i reset the infotainment system (wired/wireless android auto still works), so something is very wrong
[Android Auto General] Pipo093:

Your bluetooth pairing to the device is gone. Re-pair the device.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Enabled. You are not having the Toyota issues mentioned above with AA btw?
[Android Auto General] tonaty24:
I have not experienced any of the issues mentioned above though our car does not have any wireless options. I'll report back any issues found after the update.
[Android Auto General] J_E_F_F:
is the preferred mode Dongle enabled or disabled?
[Android Auto General] Draygon:
Does anyone know if Start/Stop mode is working with Carplay?

It doesn't work for me, activating it results in a white LED on the AAwireless but even after connecting my phone to the car bluetooth nothing is happening.

I feel not comfortable without Start/Stop mode, since my car does not turn USB off and everyone would be able to connect to my AAwireless at any time...
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
No, won't work, because the phone is in control in start / stop mode. This will only work on Android. We should probably disable this option when CarPlay is enabled.

You can try to enable dongle mode and disable start / stop. That will also prevent AA starting when the handsfree of the car is not connected to the phone. This is how AA works by default with dongles.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Thanks, probably only the head units with built in wireless CarPlay are affected. I see the model year of your head unit is 2020, so probably an older one.
[Android Auto General] Draygon:
Understood, I disabled Start/Stop and made sure Dongle mode is enabled (It is, even after resetting to factory default).

It seems to make no difference if I enable or disable Dongle mode. My AAwireless is all the times in pairing mode as soon it loses the connection to my phone. Anyone can connect to it via Carplay initial setup, I tested this with a second iPhone.

As soon the connection is lost it blinks green multiple times, flashes one time red and repeats this until a phone is connected to it.

Any way to fix this?
[Android Auto General] Pipo093:
but i cant re-pair because it only flashes 2 times green and then red and i don't have a connection to the device. or can i re-pair also when it has red light?

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Ah right, I understand what you mean now. You want it to be unpairable when there's no phone connected?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yeah, it's always pairable when there's no phone connected (active). You can either pair it through the app or bluetooth settings of the phone. When there's no device paired in the app, that means the bluetooth pairing is also gone. Because the list of devices in the app is based on the bluetooth device list of the phone filtered by AAWireless-xxx or AndroidAuto-AAWxxxx.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Enabled, because that's how Google designed AA to work with dongles, it's the native way. The only this dongle mode does on our side is change the name of the device to AndroidAuto-AAWxxxx (and disable the dummy handsfree profile).
[Android Auto General] Draygon:
Yes indeed, I would like to prevent that third parties can connect to my AAwireless if it's in range. I would prefer if pairing only would start if I enable it for the time window I'm connecting my own device to it, that's how most bluetooth implementations work.

Is this possible somehow?

So far I initiated the connection via my phone, I went to Carlay settings on my iPhone and chose the AAwireless. How would I have to proceed if I want to disable pairing all the time if my paired phone disconnects?

Thanks for your answers so far, I'm an early backer and really like your product!
[Android Auto General] sasquatch1:
@Snirpo could I please be part of the beta? I also have a 2020 Subaru Outback and would like to try full screen AA over Carplay.

App version 3.29.0

Firmware 2.2.0

Device# AAW59211a39

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Android Auto version: 10.2.633224-release

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Right now it will always be possible to pair when no device is connected. This is a design decision we took in the very beginning of AAWireless because we don't have a easy to reach button on the device to initiate "pairing mode". And back then we didn't really think of the situation where cars keep their USB port active when the car is not started.

So this means if we want to do this, we have to do it through the app, which is a bit sucky, because you have to enable pairing mode through an already paired phone.

However, I do agree with you this is nice to have functionality. We can add it in the app for the next firmware.

If you want to help testing this functionality, please join us at https://join.slack.com/t/aawireless/shared_invite/zt-22rn00y78-rGCaGgop26o1b5Jjkc4DoQ
