2016 Hyundai Sonata?

Just got a 2016 Hyundai Sonata and am pretty disappointed with Android Auto.
Are there any tweaksn/root for this system or anyway to use other apps with it?

What problems do you have with it (just curious)? There are no mods that I'm aware of, we just have to use what they gave us. If it's an app that's bothersome, contact the dev. and ask them to make changes.
Unfortunately, there is a very small percentage of Android users that have Android Auto so devs are probably not that motivated to tweak it.

When I plug my phone in to it some times it connects some times i does not, if I leave usb debugging enabled I get a random reboot, random apps not working, the lag, seems to use much more power than the USB port can put out. This happens with a rooted G4 and a stock note 4.
It's hard to find anything useful information about this cars system.

Ah, I'm experiencing the same issues, and I don't think they can be remedied by a hacked Android Auto app. I thought you were going to say something about the press limitation or desire for more apps.
I'm not sure if the connection issues are because of Hyundai or android auto. I have found that you have to wait for Bluetooth to connect before plugging your phone in.
The USB port not outputting enough power is the fault of Hyundai. I actually just submitted an email to their corporate about it, but I'm not sure how much good that will do.

Yea I didn't think that an app hack would resolve the charge problem. The true reason is the lack of apps and features. I hate when software is artificially limited.
Have you tried a Y cable for the power issue?

I agree, I really wish there was a local music app designed for Android Auto, but there isn't one yet.
I'm actually using a y cable now, but it hasn't helped. I thought it was, but I just went on a 4.5 hour road trip and I had to stop after 3.5 to charge my phone with a 12 volt adapter. Granted, I started the trip with my phone at 60%, but still, it should charge via USB.
I received a response from Hyundai about the USB port and this is what they said:
"The usb port you refer to is working as designed. The only time your phone will charge when connected is when the phone is idle. The port was not designed to charge your phone while connected. Just a reminder that your phone needs to have a minimum of 30% battery life to operate Android Auto."
Not very helpful, and they don't seem to care.

No problems here with Android Auto on 2015 Sonata Eco. I'm using both a Samsung S6E and Nexus 5X. Be sure to high quality cables.

I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with Android Auto and I had very flaky connection problems when connecting my phone. My phone is the LG G4. What I can tell you is since my phone has been upgraded to Android 6.0 the connection has been flawless and very quick. I stopped using Android Auto because the connection was such a pain but since Android 6.0 I use it all the time now.

Thanks for your input! Looking forward to February when the Note 4 is updated to 6.0!

I just got the 5.1.1 update on my Verizon Note 4 and I'm happy to report that connection is much better! It usually connects on the first or second try now.

I also have a 2016 Sonata. One thing I have found that helps is to use the key fob to unlock your car as you are walking up. Do it about as far away as it'll reach. That gets the car's computer to start booting. It then is more reliable bringing up android auto. Most of the cases where I have not had it connect have been when I plug in the phone before the car is fully booted. I also second the comment about the USB cable. I was using a fairly thin one off my Note 5 charger and the phone would drain while using. I bought a 3' cable off monoprice.com and now the phone slowly gains charge.

Nexus 6 won't connect to Android Auto

I've exhausted all avenues to get my Nexus 6 to connect to Android Auto on Chevy MyLink head unit. I'm rooted and running the latest release of Pure Nexus. My Nexus 5x connects with no issues.
Here are the things I've done:
* turned on MTP mode
* tried many cables including OEM
* rooted and non-rooted
* Pure Nexus and Dirty Unicorn ROMs
* Headunit reset
* AA app reinstall
* USB debugging on and off
* clean install without restoring apps
Incidentally, MTP works with my PC. Anything else that I should try?

The idea I got from your post is: try a (lite) stock rom.

Any recommendations?

You didn't mention what type of vehicle you have. Try this, turn your car off, open the door ALL the way open..wait 5 minutes then try again.

Hi, i'm in the same boat, have you found any solution?

I have same issue with Android 7.1.2 but 7.1.1. is ok.

Any Roms work with Android Auto?

I've tried three Roms (2 Oreo and 1 nougat) and I can't get Android Auto to work with any of them. Has anyone gotten Android Auto to work with any of the Roms available here?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

It has worked well for me on the latest 7.1.2 Pure Nexus ROM. I am currently running AICP Oreo and it works great. It also worked on S.I.X. ROM Oreo and Republic of Madness Oreo ROMs for me.
What issues are you having?

Hi, I've been running Android Auto perfectly with Nitrogen OS until 2 weeks. Suddenly I can't connect my N6 correctly anymore. My car (Ford with SYNC system) tells that it can"t find Android Auto. I tried Stock version of N6 Nougat, S.I.X Oreo rom and same issue..
Could it be related to some app update (maps, google, AA,...) ?
Sometimes I get a red error screen from AA app telling me about "communication error code 17" but I can't find any reference about that anywhere.
any tip ?

Have you tried a different cable? I had to try 3 of them before it worked right to start with in my F150

some premium Anker cable fromage Amazon is supposed to arrive any Time soon but I have doubts because I already tried with different cables. What is your setup? AA, Google and maps version ?? Thanks

AA - 2.7.573953-release
Google - 7.15.19.21.arm
Waze - 4.32.0.2
I don't use google maps anymore now that Waze is available for AA.
One thing that may work is to delete your phone out of Sync and delete Sync out of your phone both under bluetooth and AA. Once you have them removed. Just plug the phone into sync and let it re-setup everything (I don't even pair bluetooth separately, I let AA do the bluetooth pairing).
What version # of Sync3 do you have?

AAuto works great on my N6 with LineageOS on my Kia Sportage. It's a brand new 2018 Kia purchased two days ago. One of the main reasons for that purchase was AAuto in the electronics package.

Try clearing data for AA and see if that helps.

Still can't get it to work in a 2017 Chevy Tahoe. I have now tried 4 different cords and I am currently on Six Oreo Rom. I know the head unit is compatible since I had it working with the pixel 2 xl during the brief time I had that phone.
Do I need to change any settings such as USB debugging? What setting should I set it to when I connect the cord (i.e. Transfer Files, etc)?

Try going into settings > six settings > Other > look for Enable MTP instead charging when connect to PC
Make sure that is UN-ticked. That will block AA from working for some reason.

Android Auto disconnects after 5 min of driving

Hey looking to see if I can get some help with the following issue
-Start vehicle
-Plug Samsung S8 to vehicle AA port
-Vehicle recognizes and offers AA
-I select AA
-Turn on any app in AA
-Drive off
-5min later AA becomes unavailable (as if I disconnected)
-I un plug and re connect USB wire
-AA WORKS FINE TILL THE NEXT TIME I FRESH START THE VEHICLE AND PLUG MY PHONE
Stelership said it's probably my USB cord but I tried several and same result.
They also said that they could not test them selves since no one at the Garrage had a android.
Thanks
