I recently purchased a 11-RQ0364E-UK-A Pumpkin 8 Inch for my 2010 VW Scirocco. Turned out to be a cracking unit and will likely write up a review for it shortly but in the meantime I've got a few technical issues that I couldn't find answers to on here so would like some help with if possible:
1) I have the option in setting to change steering wheel controls but the buttons don't work here. They work normally to change tracks (except google play music), volume, mute and bluetooth. When I click on the buttons in the menu they flash but then the steering wheel just maintains its same controls as if it doesn't recognize them in the system menu?
2) Google play music does skip / forward next track (or rewind), is there anyway to add these controls?
3) In the standard apps, i.e. radio, DAB, music, the audio will stop / mute if you switch to another system app so there is not layers audio (multiple sources playing simultaneously). This doesn't apply to Google Play Music, is there any way to add this feature?
4)Reversing sensor audio stays on for a good few seconds after operation has completed so you still get the tone. Anyway of shortening this? Or even quietening?
Any help appreciated!

I recently purchased a Kinivo BTC450 for my car which acts as a bluetooth adapter and has an audio out 3.5mm for my car. It has a multifunction button that you can use to launch Siri on iPhones and almost anything on Android. At first I assumed it would open google search but it opened some weird google app that would only allow me to make calls and send texts but then I realized I didn't have the google search app installed. After I installed it, an intent window came up and asked me if I wanted to use the Google Search App. It works fine, the multifunction button launches the Google Search App as it's supposed to and picks up on my voice perfectly through the bluetooth adapter but when it plays back the audio, it's super quiet compared to the music and everything else. I have looked through all the settings in the Google Search App but can't find anything to make it louder. All the volume sliders in the Volume Settings panel are set to max. I've searched google and seen that a lot of people have had this issue but no one has any solution. Help me XDA, you're my only hope!
Hi, so since version 9.5 of Google Maps, there was supposed to be a "Voice Level" setting under Navigation Settings, which you could set to quiet, normal, or loud. My phone has never had this setting. Even after updating to version 9.6, I'm not seeing that option, this is all I see:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0eesu7hw7ijaebd/2015-03-19 19.39.51.png?dl=0
Is this what you guys are all seeing? Is this something with our phone where we don't get the option, or what? Any idea how to get it to show up?
I have a z3v,which is probably running a similar Sony android. I have the same problem. I can see an option to turn off bluetooth audio, but navigation audio is missing. I set my preamp low on Neutron music player to boost 20hz, so navigation audio it too loud. On my Droid DNA audio level is there on latest maps. I use ViPER4Android on both phones.
I've never seen this feature in any version of Google Maps going all the way back to the days of ginger bread, nor have I even heard of this feature. I just miss being able to control nav volume independently of the the media volume (like it was in Froyo). Is there any app that can mimic this?
Hi there!
Straight after the upgrade to Oreo, I am now unable to control my favourite music app PowerAmp using the media controls across all my Bluetooth devices.
Music plays fine but I cannot play/pause or move to the next or previous song. Volume controls are unaffected.
What I have done so far:
- Thinking it was an upgrade issue, I have done a full factory reset (reset data partition too, so that the phone was completely empty). The issue was still there after reinstalling everything.
- Tested with different devices.
I tested with: Philips SHB4000, SHB9100, WillNorn Bluetooth Speaker, T-Com headset, Soundpeats in ear bluetooth.
- Removed Apple Music and Google Music to avoid conflicts, still doesn't work.
- Found a menu in the OnePlus settings called Default (I hit "default" using search so I don't know where this menu is) and selected PowerAmp as the default audio player. This didn't work either.
- Installed Smart Bluetooth Headset, selected PowerAmp as the app to control when overriding the Bluetooth call function - This apparently sorted the issue with the WillNorn speaker.
- However, I tried this morning with two different headsets and controls are not responding.
I have found Replay: The growing struggle of playback controls via Bluetooth which I think it's talking about the same issue...But there are no solutions really.
So what did I try next?
I just went for the Autoinput solution but this step doesn't seem to work:
"Next you'll need to create a task. The first action is Alert > Flash. In the text, put You just pressed %aikeycodename. When you push a button, it'll show you the code of the button you pushed and its name."
I tried to follow the guide but Tasker doesn't show me the keys sent from the Bluetooth headset so I'm back at step 0.
No solutions, no clues.
Has anyone ever experienced this, and how did you solve the problem?
Please advise
Kind regards,
Stefano
ROM? Kernel? Root? Add-ons? There's a lot of information that you should give in your OP.
IF you're on OOS 5.0, try clearing device cache from recovery, that may work.
Also try reflashing the OOS5 Zip file without clearing data.
Hi thes3usa,
Thanks for letting me know that I forgot to post more information
I'm using a O+ 3T, OOS 5.0, all stock, never rooted or unlocked the bootloader, etc.
I tried to clear the cache, format data partition, etc. did not work. But after more research this morning, I have found a post on StackOverflow that basically says Google changed the API in Android Oreo so now you have to recur to tricks in order to get the media buttons attention.
See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45960265/android-o-oreo-8-media-buttons-issue
Basically, Google Play Music works fine and I'll use this as a workaround until PowerAmp's author updates his code
Kind regards,
Stefano
Hey
So I took delivery of my new Vauxhall Crossland X with Android Auto yesterday. Its great to have a headunit that will work with android auto. However I have a very annoying issue.
Nav, calls and spotify work without issue. However I have recently switched to google play music. Now the app opens and when you press play the track starts progressing and you can see the time line moving, however no sound is coming through.
If I change to spotify it works without issue and I can listen to music, albeit in a lesser sound quality (in my opinion) .
Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
Appreciate your help.
Best wishes
Andy
AFAIK there's sadly no solution for this yet. I can't post links yet because I'm haven't posted much yet, but if you google for "Play music not working on android auto" you'll find a thread in the Google product forums.
Seems to be a Huawei specific problem...
It most certainly is a Huawei issue for which they have no answer. My issue isn't with Android Auto but the Google play music app is glitchy on my car stereo. The album art is from the first song that played the first time I connected the phone to my car and it hasn't changed since. The native music app and spotify have no such issue. I think it has to do with the lack of integration. The play music app's colour should match the album art in the drop down (since Oreo 8.0) but it's just a big orange box. There's definitely something wrong with Huawei's play music.

Installing equalizer from Play store (equalizer by Smart Android apps) make sure eq is ON, and stays on, skip to next song and now Android Auto works.
But first:
Remove and clear data from Android Auto, reboot
Clear all Bluetooth devices from car, and under system in your car remove Android Play devices.
Clean fresh set-up.

Wow, this finally seemed to fix it. I installed the app and reset the Android Auto settings and it's now working again. Thanks a lot!
I gave up before seeing this last post - I sold my p20 pro and bought a pixel 2 xl - have to say it worked straight away and the sound quality on android auto is better too. Gutted Ive lost the p20 pro camera as that was amazing but its nice to have a clean stock phone again. Lets hope the pixel 3 xl has the 3 camera setup that my p20 pro had.
Do I have to leave equaliser on permanently or just for the initial reset of android auto?

EQ option turns on automatically everytime I open Google music
Same issue with Oneplus 6 and Vivo V9. Apart from plethora of issues this issue is the most annoying.
Other issues- Music stops playing and then suddenly resume from beginning of song, Blank screen, no voice control(it used to work before), Whatapps messages are not read(used to work before)
When you try and send a message through voice does it go "uh, something went wrong"?
Hi guys...
I have a Head Unit with Android and HeadUnit Reloaded installed. It work very well... It is best app for head unit to work with android auto.
I have one problem....
When I listen music on Amazon Music and I'm in navigation mode, when the navigation speak it put the music lower and voice of navigation speak but the volume of the navigation voice are lower. If I gain the volume of the head unit when it speak, the head unit gain all the volume not for single app (google navigation)
It is possible to choose the volume level of single app inside android auto? For example I would set the volume of Amazon music to 80% and google maps to 100%.
If I put the volume of the head unit to 10 when amazon music play are 8 (80%) and google maps are 10 (100%) and when the voice of google maps speak the volume of the amazon music go lower and google maps stay 100%
Thanks
