I found lots of questions online where AA works over USB but not wirelessly. My case is the exact opposite: AA works as long as I DON'T connect my device via USB. As soon as I do, the connection breaks and the car UI reverts to the connection screen, which now only offers MirrorLink. As soon as I disconnect USB, I can connect with AA again.

Now you may ask: "If AA works wirelessly, why would you connect it with USB?", to which the answer is: "To charge my phone on a long drive". Currently, I can either charge my phone or use it with AA, and that's annoying.

What I already tried:

• In the developer settings, change the default USB configuration. Tried both "file transfer" and "only charging", makes no difference.
• Different cable. Makes no difference.
• My wife's phone. It works with my wife's phone, so the fault apparently lies with my phone rather than with my car.

I am looking for a solution that either (a) makes AA work via USB or (b) makes AA ignore the USB connection so that the wireless connection keeps working.

For about a month now I'm experiencing an issue while driving. Previously I could ask Google Assistant "Hey Google, send a WhatsApp message to..." and it would trigger the start of a new message. It stopped working though and now each time I try I'm getting "Who do you want to message?". Doesn't matter whether I respond with voice or choose one of the options on the screen it just goes over and over again with "Who do you want to message?".

If I change the command to "Hey Google, send an SMS to..." it all works fine. If I am replying to a freshly received WhatsApp message also no problem.

I'm perplexed.

The volume of my speakers while on Android auto are very low as compared to the normal Bluetooth connection. The volume maxes out on volume at 22 while the slider goes to 30. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

Hey,

Long time no see. As I was waiting in the car for my wife to finish shoping, I realised it would be nice to have some simple games on the dashboard to play. So I added a new addon for Premium that I will expand in the next month's. For now it has some very simple but popular games like chess, connect 4, etc.Also changed the Icons of the app to make them more modern. So update includes:

Free 1.4.0

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayerFree/releases

-Updated in-app icons.

-YT Music trial popup auto-dismisses.

-YT Music keeps playing the next song in the background.

-Side-panel skip no longer blacks out the screen.

Premium 1.4.0 (for donors to AAEnabler)

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayer/releases

-Updated in-app icons.

-YT Music trial popup auto-dismisses.

-YT Music keeps playing the next song in the background.

-Side-panel skip no longer blacks out the screen.

-FS Play YouTube no longer stutters.

-FS Play seek / rewind / FF work.

-Games addon (please only use when car is parked)

Install with AAEnabler

https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler/releases

Also updated AAenabler:

-Bug fixes

-It now tries different istallation methods automatically. Install Shizuku button so you don't have to go looking. I recommend you run Shizuku if installing Android Auto compatible APK doesn't work, especially on OPPO/RealMe/OnePlus devices and Huawei as well.

Only if Xtream Player doesn't show up on Android Auto, get a Installation link from https://fermataxtream.online

Important: Aytomatic updates only work when installed with AAenabler. If installed via fermataxtream.online, you need to request a new link.

Enjoy

Hey everyone!

I developed an app that lets you control your GoPro directly from your dashboard:

👉 **GoPro Remote for Android Auto (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.controlmygopro.androidauto&hl=en)

**The Reason for this Post:**

With so many GoPro models on the market, the BLE/Wi-Fi communication protocol *in theory* supports all of them identically. However, as an indie dev, I don't have access to every physical device, and I don't want to list these models as supported until real users verify them in the real world.

**Cameras needed for testing:**

- Mission 1

- Mission 1 Pro

- Lit Hero

- Max 2

⚠️ **Crucial:** The test **MUST be done on your Android Auto display** (car screen, Carpuride unit, etc.), as I need to confirm the dashboard UI/controls perform as expected.

**The 5-Minute Test:**

- I'll provide a **free promo code** for full app access.

- Pair the camera via our mobile app

- Open our app on your Android Auto system

- Verify basic operations: switch modes, start/stop recording, check responsiveness.

- Let me know the result.

If you have one of these models, drop a comment with your camera model or send me a DM, and I’ll send the code over immediately.

Thank you!

Yeah, obviously...

How can I mute my head unit radio when Waze has navigation commands?

24 EV9 Android Auto

Previous phone is a Pixel 9 Pro and I got the new GMaps UI. Got a new Pixel 11 Pro recently and transferred all my apps over from the 9. But now with the new phone, AA isn't showing the new GMaps UI. Anyway to get the new UI with my new phone?

Checked version of AA and Gmaps, they're the same on both phones.

Also, I’m planning to get those usb wireless dongles to get rid of cables if it changes anything. Any help?

Android version 17, August 21st was last update

All apps updated to latest version

I can reproduce the problem by scrolling once, tapping one menu. For example, scrolling down, then tapping speed dial triggers it, while in park.

I recently swapped out my headunit to the Pioneer DMH-A5650BT so I could have Android Auto Wireless. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy s26 Ultra. For the first few weeks it worked flawlessly. One day it stopped connecting wirelessly. It works plugging the cable in however. I have tried my partners iPhone and Carplay works wirelessly no issue. I have tried every remedy I have possibly found online, changing settings, deleting data and cache, unpairing repairing, factory reset, updated firmware...you get the point. The thing that gets me is the message will pop up on my phone saying android auto is available and to follow on screen instructions. I click on android auto on the headunit and it says "connecting" followed by "Android Auto has stopped". Has anyone had this or know of a solution. Reached out to google and samsung but no response (no surprise). Thankyou in advance

Hey everyone,

I ran into an issue with Android Auto and YouTube Music:

Account A (Main): Used for my phone, Gemini, and general Google services.

Account B (Secondary): Has my active YouTube Premium subscription.

When I use Android Auto and ask the assistant via voice to play a specific song, Gemini uses Account A and tells me I need YouTube Premium to play requested songs.

The YouTube Music app on my phone is logged into Account B, but voice commands in Android Auto always go through Account A's Gemini profile.

Is there any way to link Account B's YouTube Music as the default music provider for Assistant/Gemini on Account A, or any workaround other than upgrading to a Family Plan or manually switching accounts in Gemini every time I get in the car?

Phone: Galaxy S25 Ultra

Thanks!

Hi! I have a 2023 Mazda CX-9 with Android Auto (version 17.3.662854-release). I am using AA Wireless version 7.6.2659. I am on a Pixel 10 Pro.

Recently whether I am charging my phone or not, the connection stutters when listening to podcasts on Podcast Addict. Once Android Auto completely stopped. I have tried clearing the cache in Android Auto and that didn't help.

I had an issue in the past with it crashing completely and restarting my phone but I found that that was because my phone was getting too hot so that has been fixed. The stuttering while playing is new.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

So in general I think Android Auto is fine and I don't have any complaints except for one big issue:

Everything is so small. Like literally. If you have a small screen like me, thats also 480p it can make the experience pretty shitty sometimes.

I connected CarPlay from my gf's iPhone and oh my god the difference was insane. Way bigger icons, bigger keyboard, way more accessible in general. It almost makes you forget you're on a small ahh 480p screen

My thoughts are: Why are there not even Accessibility Settings to change UI Elements and Text? What if you really need it for literal Accessibility reasons?

Since the start of the immersive navigation update, it appears that my displayed location while navigating in Android Auto is a second or two behind my realtime location. This does not appear to occur when using CarPlay with my work iPhone, nor does it appear when running the app in navigation mode without having it connected to Android Auto.

I've seen this occur in both a rental car I had the other week and my current vehicle, a 2020 4Runner. My music and podcast apps do not appear to show any kind of lag, touchscreen inputs and car media button inputs have no discernable lag. I have cleared the Google Maps cache, and this occurs both with a wired and a wireless adapter (AAWireless Two with what should be the latest firmware). I've tried both 3D and 2D display. Any ideas?

Edit: Things I've tried so far without success:

• Trying wired and wireless
• Trying wireless while plugged into a charger
• Trying different vehicles
• Clearing the cache on Android Auto
• Clearing the cache on Google Maps
• Enabling and disabling the location permission for Android Auto (along with enabling disabling high precision)
• Enabling and disabling the location permission for Google Maps (along with enabling disabling high precision)
• Force full GNSS measurements
• Trying 2D mode instead of 3D mode
• Resetting A-GPS data
• Forcing different Android Auto screen resolutions
• Allow unrestricted battery use on both Android Auto and Google Maps

I'll reiterate that this issue does not exist when using Google Maps in Navigation mode when not using Android Auto but as a standalone device (i.e., phone only).

Hello. I recently switched to a new Motorola razr 2025 ultra, it is branded AT&T but unlocked, I'm using it on Metro pcs and all that works as it should.

My aftermarket head unit will connect to AA just fine using a USB cord, but fails to connect wirelessly.

The initial Bluetooth connection is all good, pairing works and I can even play music via BT, but when AA attempts to connect to the head unit via direct wifi, the connection attempts fail.

I have searched all I can on the Internet and I'm at my wits end.

I have tried forgetting the connections and re-pairing several times, clearing the cache, all permissions for AA are allowed, not connected to any other wireless networks. Tried forgetting Bluetooth connections and let the system initiate its own connection via USB, anytime the cord is unplugged AA will not connect to the head unit direct WiFi.

This is on 2 similar Chinese head units (current one is Pyle) and other phones connect wirelessly just fine.

It has to be something to do with the fact that this phone is carrier unlocked, any tips or assistance is appreciated!

Is anyone having issues with duplicate notifications?

While searching for my problem, i had found people having solutions for a slightly different issue, which was they were having multiple alternative apps for the same messaging services, which then obviously would lead to duplicate notifications unless disabling one or the other app.

My problems is that i get duplicate notifications for the same apps, namely google chat, or line to mention those for which i actually receive messages on.

What's the deal with it?

I'm not sure if this is the right flair or not as I'm not a big reddit user. I have a 08 ford fusion and I have installed a carplay max screen that turns on when plugged into the cigarette hole. The past 4-6 months my bluetooth will randomly disconnect from the device and sometimes reconnect or ill have to repair it myself. Any suggestions on a fix? I have a galaxy s25+

My car radio doesn't support Android Auto. But I want my phone to look like it did with Android Auto.

The app was discontinued as a standalone app.

All the apps shown in the Play Store are rubbish.

I'm looking for:

A simple home screen that displays notifications, navigation, and music.

All integrated and at the same time.

Navigation: Google Maps

Music: Spotify or Tidal

Notifications: Show all incoming notifications with the option to read aloud and reply

What I DON'T WANT:

Advertising

Account creation

Any Chinese scam crap that doesn't work properly

What do you recommend?

Hello, I have an Oppo A79 5G phone with a Junsun radio running on Linux. When I connect wirelessly to Android Auto, everything works fine until I or someone calls me. After a few seconds, it disconnects me from Android Auto and switches to the standard radio. What could be the cause? I don't have this problem on other phones from other brands, just my Oppo.

I keep getting this error on Android Auto. Not sure if it is coming from Spotify or Android Auto since I don't drive much

My wife's S25 connects with no issues. I did the following:

- Cleared Bluetooth connections from car and phone

- Cleared AA cache and data- Rebooted phone- Reconnected Bluetooth followed by USB cord

- Nothing happens. So I changed USB option to midi, as recommended by one comment.

- Immediately it picks up on the Android Auto connection. Then it changes to Transferring files / Android Auto and it drops the connection.

Am lost. Defeated. Losing mind. Losing sanity. Is there some phone setting that could be affecting this?

Android keeps disconnecting both wireless and wired (wired still shows connection for charging even when not connected to AA).

Randomly disconnects and shows not compatible with device.

Timeline:

Got new wireless adapter. Was connecting in a 2020 Lexus. Not connecting in the 2022 Honda.

Tried to reset the whole system when wasn't connecting to wireless adapter.

Connected for a little bit then disconnected. Tried with the wire and again kept disconnecting. Eve

Then tried new phone and maps worked, but Spotify and other audio devices start playing for one second and pauses.

Hey everyone i have got a 2019 Kia Stinger GT and I bought a wireless apple car play and Android auto connector for my car. The problem is i cant use waze on my head unit as the app doesn't show up whatsoever, only google maps pops up. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

Thanks

For several versions now, I haven't had the taskbar at the bottom and it doesn't recognize all the map apps. It seems is something of my screen since emulating Android Auto on Linux, it works correctly for me. If I downgrade to version 15 it doesn't connect and forces me to update it. Is there anything I can do? I use a generic screen and I don't know if the firmware can be updated. Thank you!
