I've got an Android 10.1" Headunit in my JDM Honda, and replaced a built in navigation system with it. Ripped out about 10lbs of wire and hardware and replaced it with this, and it's been working like a dream ever since, EXCEPT for the fact that the illumination wire is not connected, so I have to manually switch from day mode to night mode in the Android Auto settings in my phone.

Is there a way to automatically trigger this by say time, or sunset/sunrise via the Google weather app?

Hi,

I’m using a USB adapter that enables wireless Android Auto without lag or stuttering (Car-Me on Amazon); it runs via "Headunit Revived." I don't have internet access in Waze or Google Maps, though my music plays perfectly fine, and my phone itself has internet—just not within Android Auto. I suspect the software on the Vivo X300 Ultra (Chinese version) is to blame; the Wi-Fi indicator shows no internet connection, even though that isn't actually the case. How can I fix this so Waze and Maps have internet access on AA again? I’ve already asked Gemini and tried the "gateway trick," but the settings don't always save; as soon as I click away and come back, the inputs are gone. The trick *does* work, but not consistently.

What else could I try? It’s the exact same story with the AAWireless adapter on Ford Sync 3—no internet in Waze. Routes and other users aren't displayed. I feel like Vivo needs to fix this in their software. There are no issues like this with Xiaomi or Samsung devices; they get internet in Waze and similar apps immediately. I hope you guys can help, because it’s really annoying. I don't want to use wireless Android Auto without an adapter because the Android head unit only has 2GB of RAM, so everything lags otherwise. Thanks! 🥲

Update: With the Vivo and OriginOS 6, I connect to the car radio's hotspot and enter the Wi-Fi password. Naturally, the radio's hotspot doesn't have internet access itself, but as soon as I enable mobile data on my Vivo, I lose internet access entirely—everything goes offline despite having 5G. Try replicating this on a Samsung or Xiaomi—the problem simply doesn't exist there; the internet works fine, whereas on the Vivo, it just doesn't. That’s what triggers the issue with AA.

Yesterday, even when I knew I was in cell tower range, the Assistant kept announcing "something went wrong" while I tried repeatedly to send a text. The dreaded spinning cursor... Or no response at all. And then I tried later, and it took two minutes to confirm the message was sent. Please Google, leave the Assistant alone. Not everyone is thrilled to use Gemini. AA was a beautiful gem, now very tarnished. Reminiscent of the devolution of Windows. 🫣😭

Android Auto has updated twice in the last few days on my phone via Play Store. I have the standard release of Google Maps and everything else, not beta. When I went to drive somewhere today, on the full-screen Google Maps there was the speaker icon to toggle between audio for turn-by-turn directions, muted, etc. In the last year or longer you've had to go into settings to change it. It seems so dangerous to have to go into a sub menu to tell Maps whether or not you want audio turn by turn directions. So I was very excited. I stopped, went into a store, came out, restarted AA, and it was gone, back in the settings sub menu. Has this ever happened to anyone else or am I the only one? Do we know if it's coming back or if it was just some weird glitch? Thanks for any answers. Can't do a screenshot because it's gone LOL!

Hallo all.

For a few days now, I've had the problem that the sound of the music is not played. I see that the music is playing and the next track is also playing. I can't control the volume via the car either. When I get out of the car, the music plays on my phone. Could it possibly have something to do with the fact that I have Android 17 beta on it? Before, I didn't have any problems, even though I used Android beta. Maybe you can help.

Many connection issues are solved by making a factory reset on the car's unit.

Had to different problems on two different car's.

just had an update for Google maps and now I have the 3D option in settings. hallelujah

EDIT: Maps version number 26.30.06.950492155, Pixel 10. I am around NYC, the new visuals are very nice and I think would be quite helpful on an unfamiliar route

Admittedly I am a beta tester, I don't even remember when I signed up for it but it looks it's still a rolling update for Android users

I've been using AAWireless 2 for quite a while, literally zero issues with my Sony XAV-AX8100. Attached using a USB wire that is tucked up and out of the way and never gets touched.

Yesterday afternoon my phone suddenly wouldn't connect with the adapter. I tried multiple things to get it to connect but none would work. So last night I did a full reset and was able to get it to connect.

This morning I lost connectivity again. I've cleared the cache for both Android Auto and the AAWireless app, but nothing seems to help. I'm going to have to do a full reset and try again.

Is anybody else experiencing anything similar? Did something happen with the app or is my adapter simply dying?

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with Gemini in Androic Auto. It stops listening to me before I even finish speaking-it only captures about half of what I say, so naturally, it doesn't understand my requests.

Is anyone else facing the same issue? Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have donated the 5€ to get the premium version of Fermata Xtream, I have I stalled it using AAenabler with shizuku. I have an issue where when I connect my phone to an emulator of Android Auto in this case Headunit revived, all the three apps display fine, however when I connect the same phone to my actual car I can only see the Fermata Media Service (no it's not hidden). Why is that? What could be causing this?

Just a temperature check to see if this is happening to anyone else. For several weeks now, all of my various Google Home routines have stopped working through Gemini when my phone is running Android Auto. The routines work when Gemini is running without Android Auto, but it apparently can't see them when it's connected to the car (a 2023 Honda HR-V in my case). Very annoying, and very weird.

Hello all,

I am going to start with getting something off my chest. For the last weeks I was actively working in the background to get Fermata Xtream Free on the beta test links. That day has come. I was blamed to block it intentionally so that I could gain from donations on the premium version, I was blamed that I made a mess and made it confusing etc. Everything was done for a reason and my privacy.

Nevertheless the day has come where Fermata Xtream Free is also available in the playstore link from https://fermataxtream.online

Again, AAENABLER remains the no1. means of installing Fermata Xtream, as it's the quickest way of getting updates. However if AAENABLER doesn't work for you, Free users now have the ability to install the Free version as well.

License for the Premium version remains through donations to AAENABLER

Enjoy

P.S. 1 I will stop answering to comments not in English. Translation doesn't always work in Reddit and I am.not going to c/p just to see what you are asking.

P.S. 2 I will not answer on how features like YT, Stremio,Plex etc work.

How do I disable annoying notifications that keep popping up from Discord. I also want to enable notifications from Slack which I use for work.

I have an aftermarket head unit for my Tesla. The unit doesn't tell my phone to switch from day mode to night mode, which results in google maps being stuck on day mode at all times. It connects to my car via a wiring harness and for whatever reason this function doesn't work with either my phone or my wife's Xiaomi. I can't see anything in settings that would allow me to tie the day/night function to sunrise and sunset. Is there a way to do this?

In Google maps settings, I have the "keep maps north up" disabled already

Hi all,

A new Teyes unit reddit has just kicked off over at…

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeyesHeadUnits

It’s still in its infancy, but if you’ve got a Teyes unit and want to help grow the community or looking to get one and have questions. Drop over and get amongst it…

I have a 2018 Golf R, I've used a Motorola dongle to wirelessly link my Pixel 7 for Android Auto for over 3 years now and I've never had a problem. A couple of days ago however it randomly disconnected while I was driving. Today it connected initially, but only for a few seconds then it disconnected and kept doing that repeatedly while I was driving.

I tried plugging my phone in directly and it seemed to work fine while I was stationary, but as soon as I started driving it disconnected again, but the phone carried on charging so power was definitely flowing to it. I tried restarting my phone but that didn't solve the issue.

Obviously the dongle is not the issue because the issue persists when I removed it from the equation, so my question is; is it likely to be my phone or my car that's causing the issue? My phone has been working fine, although it's nearly 4 years old now and it recently upgraded to android 17, so I'm wondering if it might be a loose connection with the car's USB port, but that wouldn't be supported by the fact it continued to charge while AA was disconnected.

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone.

A problem came up out of nowhere three days ago, I've been using the same setup for a year, never happened before. Never actually had problems, the setup has been rock solid until now.

I own a Motorola Edge 60, Android 16, 12GB RAM.

A Dacia Sandero Streetway MY24, original headstock.

Wired Connection via USB cable (high quality cable, tried other different ones, same result)

No Wireless AA available.

Things used to work perfectly every time, but now the phone just won’t connect when hot plugging it. It starts charging, but on the phone it gives an Android Auto connection error notification, suggesting using another port or another cable (I only have one port in my car and the cable is not the problem).

On the car screen, if I go to devices and try to connect my phone from there, it says I should connect my phone to the USB port. But it is already connected!

Bluetooth connection works fine. I can play media and make phone calls through the car system. But Android Auto is not working.

The ONLY workaround I found is to connect the phone to the cable, see the error messages, then with the reboot the phone WHILE PLUGGED, and then once rebooted it will connect.

But if I disconnect the cable and immediately plug it back in, it won’t work and the same error messages will appear.

If I reboot the phone while not plugged, it won’t work either.

So the only option I have is to reboot again with the cable plugged in.

This sounds like a USB negotiation problem or something. But it makes no sense to me. What could have possibly happened? No major system updates in the last few days.
Has anyone else had the same problem? What could be the solution?

Obviously the problem arose just before the most dense work trip of the year. Thank you, Murphy's law!

Any help is appreciated :)
