Greetings,
I tired to install AA apk on my Nexus 9, have my tablet connected to a WiFi network using Mifi hot spot, then bluetooth tethered my tablet to my AA compatible car (2016 Accord), and plugged my tablet via USB to the can, on the tablet the AA launches but on the vehicle display it shows "loading" then it can't connect. Is there a way to use my Nexus 9 tablet to run AA in my AA compatible car?
Using same USB cable, I tried using a test phone Samsung S7 Edge (bluetooth tethered and plugged into USB) and it worked right away, I don't want to use data from my phone, need to use the Mifi
thanks

Android Auto sometimes disconnects when I move the phone or cable. Even aggressive breaking or turns can sometimes move the cable/phone and cause this. However, during other times, even when I intentionally aggressively move thephone/cable, the connection remains intact.
After the disconnection, sometimes it reconnects automatically . During other times, I have to unplug and plug the usb cable to the phone to reconnect. In either case, I have to manually restart my music and navigation - it does not resume automatically and it is frustrating.
I do not think there is an issue with the phone port or USB cable because it works flawless when I connect it to a computer and use it as a storage device.
I tried changing cables but the issue persists. I use CM 12.1 on a GS4. - Is anyone else experiencing this frustration - Any suggestions?
Yeah it can happen if the cable can be wiggled. In my case, it came up through a rubber grommet in my console, and connected to my phone in an X-Grip. Once I changed that routing so the cable could be physically connected to the X-Grip (so it moved in unison with the phone/mount), there were no more issues.
One of my major beefs with Android is the near worthless micro USB connector. Hopefully the rumors are true and new phones soon start rolling out with USB-C.
i want it to be wireless.. there is no reason that it can't operate over wifi direct.. thats what CarPlay will be doing also, why not AA.

WiFi code is in AA.
Google hasn't enabled it yet, same as Apple pretty much.
I've had my Android Auto 2016 Buick for 2 months, and for the entire time my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime "cheapo" phone will loose connection with my car. 15 minutes was the longest it would go without having to unplug my phone and plug it back in, where it connected again with AA. What a pain! I tried 4 different cables including the original cable, and ALL would disconnect in 15 mintues or less. TODAY I fixed it. I purchased an 18 inch cable (more than long enough for my hookup) with gold connectors on Amazon for $4.99. My previous cables were 3 or 4 ft. In an hour of driving today AA worked perfectly, the first time since I bought the car. I don't know if it was the gold plated ends, or the shorter cable, but it worked flawlessly and never once disconnected. Here is what I purchased:
Ugreen Micro USB Cable, USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B Charging Cord and Sync Data Cable 1.5 Ft Gold
Thank you very much.
I had the same problem: I disconnected my Samsung S7 Android Auto from the Volkswagen Jetta Sporwagen.
I bought the cable on Amazon and solved the problem. I've tried it twice and it worked perfectly.
Thank you very much.
Shorter cable works better. I also test this.
Also it depents of the phone. I have test note 4, lg g2, nexus 5x.
The first 2 connect/disconect often. Max 30 min without disconect.
The nexus 5x (which i bought from second hand for 50€) will never loose connection. It always connect 1st time. Rock stable.

Hi guys, I need to project the screen of my Tab 3 7" T210 on a TV that has both the hdmi connection that the usb.
I bought a cable network which on one side has HDMI and the other has both USB (to connect to the TV or phone charger) and micro USB to connect the phone precisely.
With the galaxy note 4 This cable works great, but with the tab 3 7 "does not go .... the tv says no signal, while the tab is not even the micro USB connection sound.
There is of special cables that "force" the screen projection of this tab on the tv?
Or maybe something universal that can be projected on the TV screen of any device?
Pretty sure the tablet has to have specific support for the feature. I'm not sure if the tablet does, but from the looks of it it doesn't
The USB port of my car lacks power, I'm assuming, to actually charge my phone (Nexus 6P) while using it for Android Auto. Is there a way to actually get it charging and use Android Auto, via some sort of splitter or any other way?
If you Google "usb power enhancer" you can find cables that use the power from one USB source, and data from another. This means you can get the power from a better car charger. I have used this setup and it works ok.
Found this out with my HTC One M9 - Go into the android auto app on your phone and go to settings. Make sure that your screen isn't set to be 'always on' I changed mine to phone default, and it's fine. Once you plug it in, the phone screen stays on all the time unless you do that.
if using 'el cheapo' cable which i always use, i found our, this always because of the connection between the cable and the usb port. try use new cable first

Hello, I have an idea how we can make the current Android Auto completely WIRELESS.
Idea is as follows:
Plug a micro Dongle in the car's USB port.
The Dongle will essentially be a WiFi Tranciever. (it may need custom code/firmware etc.)
The Dongle will talk to the Android Phone over WiFi (Because Bluetooth is already being used by Android Auto).
A custom program will be running on the Android phone to send ALL USB Data to the Dongle using WiFi.
Suggested Dongle models:
Xbee, Arduino with WiFi module, any other similar board, possibly any cheap Chinese WiFi USB dongle available on Ebay/Aliexpress.
Things to consider:
The Car's infotainment must recognize the Dongle when it is plugged in as a "USB device" (not a USB Stick/Flash Drive !!!)
The Dongle may need custom code/firmware that will start sending packets to the car's infotainment as soon as it is connected/powered up/car ignition is on, in order to Emulate a phone running android auto.
In the mean time, the app running on the phone will already be connected to the Dongle and the two will be talking to each other.
I you have any other suggestions, leave a comment bellow.
PS: Such devices (USB Over the Air) are actually available on the market, but are quite bulky. We need something smaller.
But even if it is big, we can use a Micro USB plug like this one with flat cable, that will run in the Phone tray, where the board will be hidden so it will not be visible at all!!! :good::laugh:

Just cut the other end of the flat cable if needed and solder as necessary.
Again, if you have specific ideas/suggestions leave a comment bellow.

Hello all,
I plan to use the Galaxy Tab A7 as a Car Tablet.
Therefore I bought a USB C Hub with Audiojack and Powerdelivery.
Unfortunately it somehow does not charge over the USB Hub. The hub itself works, audio can be played through the jack and it recognizes the USB Sticks connected throught the hub. Is it something which can be solved by changing the software / Android Version or even flashing a custom Rom?
On my phone the hub works flawlessly.
Btw: Does anybody have any tips for setting it up as a car tablet? I already installed some OBD apps and a car launcher.
I use the Torque and Car Launcher in Splitscreen mode and use maps as a floating app on top. Further tips would be appriciated
