Hi @ all,
I now own an Pioneer AppRadio 4 (SPH-DA120) and use it along with the "AppRadio Unchained Reloaded" app and my HTC One M7 running Lollipop.
My phone is connected to the head unit via HDMI/MHL and touch input is send to the phone via bluetooth with the help of the "AR Unchained" app.
That combination works, but I am interested in getting the Android Auto UI to show up on my head unit, because I like that clean Home style without its NotificationBar and so on.
Is there any possibility to switch my phone to Auto mode, so it gets rendered on my mobile device and that way send to the head unit via mhl?

I search th is and no luck, but should be posibble, in iphone is posible enable carplay with jailbreak and cydia app call "ignition", hope this feature in android soon
Appradioforums.com might be of use. It was back in the days of when I had my appradio 2
I have the Appradio 3 with the same setup.. I think this would be a really simple MOD, and should be possible.
You must download this fresh android auto app and plug in phone to radio via usb

Android auto not compatible with airtel nexus 6
Not compatible with my nexus 6
Not compatible with my Nexus 5 running Android 5.1 Lollipop either.
Hi, I just recently got a new Golf with the app connect system that has Android Auto functionality built in. However, I just can't get it to work with my G4. I've downloaded the Android Auto app, I've tried using different cables but every time I plug it in the AA app seems to just crash. It also won't connect manually when I try to connect it in the car. I live in Australia. Is there anything else I can do/download to make this work? Thanks.
Don't know if this will help, but try to set the Android Auto on a headunit. Mine was set to Mirrorlink by default.
Maybe in the settings you should define it to choose Android Auto instead ?
Make sure the phone is unlocked when its plugged in. Also, try plugging in the phone before you turn on the car. My Nexus 5 is able to connect 90% of time on my 2016 GTI.
I just picked up my GTI last night. The salesman couldn't get Android Auto to connect to my AT&T G4. Android Auto was set as the preferred connection. I've tried connecting with my phone locked, unlocked, plugged in before/after the car is on, plugged in after/before the phone is unlocked, USB debugging on and off, MTP, charging only, PTP.

I work at a vw/Skoda dealership. I am tech savvy. I have tried I phones and various Androids with Mirrorlink/Android Auto and to be honest the results are pretty Mixed. I phones mostly pair OK but with so many iterations of Android topped with manufactures bloatware its impossible. I have failed to pair phones that are compatible and tried every app every cable and every configuration even the Manufacturers are clueless. Some models I managed to pair took me 40 or 50 attemps. Android Auto is in its infancy and stability will take time. I managed an S5 with ease and S6 with great difficulty a HTC one A9 which is very unstable. A HTC one M8, but didn't manage the Huawei P8 yet but I'm working on it. I failed with a galaxy S4 and succeeded with another one. I have an LG G4 on the way so that will be interesting. I have had 100% success pairing I iPhones but customers tell us the connection drops out. However I do think Android Auto offers more in terms of functionality if you can live with the fact that you may not ever get it working.
Anything new with G4
Did you manage to make the LG G4 working?
Hello
I had the same problem with my VW Passat GTE 2016 + LG G4. Solved it by going into the settings in the car (under App Connect) and chose Android Auto as default instead of MirrorLink which was the default before.
(although it doesn't work very well anyway, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't)
I have Android Auto 1.6.2400

Just to confuse the issue even more, my vw connects to android auto pretty much perfectly every time & yet I only discovered by accident that the default setting on the head unit was set to mirror link so maybe that's not the cause for you after all. It's pretty basic software so far it seems.

I picked up my new Golf today, but it doesn't have the App Connect. My phone is an Oneplus One with MM Cos 13, do you think Android Auto can work with it?
Just my experience : I own a 2016 Jetta with App Connect and a Nexus 4. I had similar issues with AA connections first. The phone was running Android L 5.1..1. 2 weeks ago I went ahead and installed CM13 and now AA works way better : I never had a connection failure since... Really a plug and forget experience now. So I think Android M is better for Android Auto. Moreover I read that latest AA update includes fixes for connection stability.
I've exhausted all avenues to get my Nexus 6 to connect to Chevy MyLink head unit. 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
* MTP works with PC
Is this a hardware issue?

On my phone (not a nexus) nothing worked until I tried to turn on usb tethering while plugged. This made AA start. Maybe give it a try?

@dden68, thanks for the suggestion. Gave it a try but didn't work. I'm reluctant to revert to stock because it's a pain and I give it little chance of working.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I have a Nexus 6 with a Honda Accord. I was having all kinds of issues connecting. I found that if I select PTP as my connection it works much better. The phone defaults to USB charging just click the notification and select PTP. I wish you could change the default as I have to do this every time I plug in.

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.

I have a Galaxy S9+ using a sony head unit. Since the android 10 update most things dont work anymore. Samsung doesnt respond to questions and either does google. I would roll back to 9 but my bootloader is locked. Is there anyway around this ?
I ran into 2 problems after upgrading to Android 10 on my S10e.
1. I had second AA app installed (I think it was the one for phone display)
2. Adb debug has to be off
Also app settings are accessible only through Settings -> Apps -> AA -> In-app notifications settings

This is because AA is built-in into Android 10, it is part of the operating system, so there is no need for the AA app. Upgrading to Android 10 should automatically remove the AA apk used on Android 9.

I uninstalled the old aa app on my phone because i thought it was part of the os, restarted the phone and plugged it in my truck and it would not connect. The only way aa almost works is if you install the app on your phone.
As I said before, AA is built-in in Android 10, so there is no need for the apk. But you are right, there are still a lot of problems with AA on car's screen and Android 10. The fact that your phone does not connect to your car's infotainment system or that you are able to sometimes use AA after installing the apk, does not mean that it should be like this. I am sure that you sideloaded the apk because it shouldn't appear on your Play store after upgrading to Android 10.
I, for example, I refused to upgrade because of the many bugs I read about when using AA. I suffered enough (repeated connection problems), in the beginning, after upgrading my phone from the Note 8 with Android 8 to the Note 10+ with Android 9. I'm afraid that it is not possible to go back to Android 9, as far as I know. You'll have to stick with what you have and dig the internet to find possible solutions, because I'm sure there isn't yet a straight forward fix for your AA problem.

So i uninstalled AA from my phone and then restarted it. Then i backed it up with smart switch, i then did a factory reset. Then i did a clean install of 10 from Chimera. I restored my phone and plugged it into my truck. It proceeded to install AA and still not worth a damn lol. That was a good 3 hours not well spent. So now i will play no more until if ever a fix comes out. Thanks

Sorry to hear about all the trouble. Just keep searching the internet about your specific problem and configuration. If you still have your previous phone and if it still has a working AA, you could use it just in your car connected to your wifi hotspot from your Note 10. Also try a different cable, a shorter one (I use a 1 foot only cable), all my connection problems went away with this shorter cable bought on Aliexpress. Wish you luck!

I forgot to ask, did you try using AA with a wireless connection? If you have a new car, chances are that you could use wireless connection between your phone and the car. There is a setting in AA to enable this. Just set this switch on before trying to connect to the car's infotainment system.

@uhi711 what did you do to resolve the issues on note 10+
Since Samsung updated to android 10, my AA has not worked.
Cables are same that used to work on Android 9
Keeps disconnecting and reconnecting
Tried clear cache and data on AA
Reset the cars head unit
Used new cables, old cables, OEM cables same issues
Haven't tried a small cable, will try the charger cable that comes with Sony xm3 head phones

Unfortunately, I do not have a satisfactory answer for you. I just didn't upgrade my phone to Android 10, because of the many bug reports I read about. A long time ago, when I was using the Note 8 and Android 8, I had the same connection problems for a few months. Then, the only thing that helped me was using short (20-25 cm) quality cables, bought on Aliexpress. It might also be a coincidence, I'm not sure, because in the same time I changed cable after cable, Google also updated AA. As of now, I'm using the Note 10+ with Android 9 and the same short cable that I think it fixed my connection problem then, and I still don't have any problem. You'll just have to wait patiently for Google to fix the bugs.

Hi
I have Lineage OS 17.1 which is Android 10.
Should I install just "AA for phone" instead of normal AA ?
With "normal" AA installed is working, except for notifications that I don't get for any apps (Whatsapp, Telegram,...)
Thanks

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't know what is Lineage OS and how it works. What I do know is that there is no such a thing as different AA versions. There is only one kind of AA app downloadable from the Play store if you have Android 9 or less on your phone. If you have Android 10 installed on your phone, then you do not need the AA app and you won't be able to download it from the Play store, because it is already built-in in the OS (Android 10).

The couple AA and Android 10 is known for a lot of bugs and connection problems.
