Has anyone gotten any variant of the s2 to work in their car via USB cable? I have an x522 that has never been able to (stock ROM or custom). I have a Pioneer NEX 4100 that refuses to work properly with it. I tried other cables with no luck. My ASUS zenfone2 works just fine. The android service says connected but it does not launch the app on the head unit like it should. The only search I have seen with the same symptoms involved the S3 Pro.
Anyone have a working connection via auto android?

Make sure you are using the stock charger, My X522 works perfectly with my Unit, when I tried another cable that didn't come with the phone, it didn't work.

My S3 (X522) has worked perfectly with Android Auto on my 2016 Civic since I got the phone.

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 have a new Pixel2XL and am frustrated trying to make Android Auto work. All was fine with Apple Carplay and my iPhone 6s (this is actually my 2nd Pixel2XL as I went back for the 128GB model when the $300 sale came along after I'd purchased the 64GB).
Anyway, bluetooth isn't working well. And I'm being told this is a long-known issue with Android that Google is still "working on". Since it's happened with both phones, it's either Android 8.x or a long-running, unresolved issue.
I'd like to disable bluetooth, but I'm being told that's how the Phone works in the car. Can the phone be moved to the USB cable?
One other question, when connected by USB cable, are non-AA compatible audio apps using bluetooth or the cable?
Thanks.

No, as far as I know you have to have Bluetooth & USB cable connected for AA to work properly. Ref
https://support.google.com/androidauto/forum/AAAA6SY52nIs5RIQpqOqKI/?hl=en
Don't know about your second question, but on my car non AA apps don't work when AA is active.
That's been my experience, yes. I'm having bluetooth issues regardless. So depending on it in the car is frustrating and even dangerous if I try to disconnect/restart/etc. while driving.
But I did just receive the 8.1.0 update and I'll be in and out of the car today. So, crossing my fingers that something will work better!
Thanks for the reply!
Hi,
I usually wouldnt bother to ask (as it nearly always works, and when it doesn't its a cable issue) but I noticed the X4 8.1 update just broke Android Auto indirectly. I know the G6 plus ships with 8.0 but anyone have any issues?
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm waiting now for my new device (Moto G6+, ordered yesterday). And as I use all the time AA, I'll send you info when I received it.
However, I need to say that my current Moto G5+, and my ancient Moto G4, both works with AA with the Stock firmware without toubles.
Regards.
I did experience frequent restarts of AA , settings are the same as with my Samsung S7.
Uninstalled AA for now, will check again later when 8.1 is out.
XT1926-3/RETEU G6+
No problems with AA here.

Then change your USB cable... I suffered a lot of problems with four or five different regular cables, until I changed to a premium USB cable and the problems disappeared. I feel the problems isn't in fact the wire, but the quality of the connector. With the vibrations of the car the connector needs to be very good.
I hope it helps!
I already bought a 5er set from Volutz before the device arrived as this is my first USB-C phone. Volutz cables are usually of a very, very good quality (I already had a set of their micro-USB cables).
I guess the problem is the connector of the device itself as this happens with the original cable and all 5 from Volutz.Strange thing is that my battery monitor tool does not show anything strange while charging. Will wait and see what happens if 8.1 or P will be available before claiming for a new device.
Hi,
Tested in my car with the last firmware of Moto G6+, and no problem at all! All works perfect with AA.
It was a faulty connector of the device itself - got a replacement device wednesday and the issue is no more.
Not good for G4
The Moto G4 does NOT work totally with AA. Only the hands free calling does. The mapping does not. Motorola confirmed this. Plus, my Moto G4 only has 7.0.
How did you install Android Auto on Moto G6 Plus? I want to install it on my device, but Google Store says that this app is not compatible with my device and won't allow me to download it.

Strange, you should be able to install it through the playstore... Anyway, you can always do it manually; jist search for the android auto apk through Google, copy to phone and install it.

Thanks for your advice. I found the APK file suitable for my phone and the installed app seems to work just fine.
download and install it from APKMIRROR
Hi,
My car is not able to connect to Note 9 via MirrorLink. I used Galaxy A5 in the past with the same car. So I assume it's not a car issue.
Once MirrorLink is selected on car Media system, it tries to connect to my phone and even launches SkodaApp (but on the phone screen.. not car multimedia system) and immedately quits with an error that phone doesn't support MirrorLink.
MAybe something's missing in the phone. Any ideas?
AndroidAuto runs perfectly with Note9+Skoda. But not MirrorLink
Thanks

My Subaru has MirrorLink, but it doesn't work correctly either. Message board says MirrorLink is not backwards compatible with older versions... So, the Note 9 version (1.4) is "too new" for older vehicles. People have downgraded the app (not sure how, really), and it connects. Maybe this is why...

Yeah, I have Samsung's MirrorLink app disabled, otherwise when I charge my phone from the USB port, it locks up.
And, I just tried to sideload an older version, but it won't (yes, sideloading is enabled). Of course, no reason why is given.
But, it's just an experiment for me. MirrorLink isn't well supported, not a lot of apps. I'd rather have Android Auto (which the 2018 Forester DOESN'T support either... :silly.

Regarding side loading, you may need to use App Cloner. It will sign the APK differently so you're essentially running another instance of the cloned app, instead of replacing the original app. In my experience, very few Samsung app you can side load with the newer phones.

After few experiments it started working for me.
Looks like Samsung Car Mode must be installed for other MirrorLink apps to work. I've read somewhere that at least one MirrorLink certified app must be installed. Not sure what Certified means because apps like Skoda One App are also certified.
Anyway - problem solved. Both Android Auto and MirrorLink is working. Both are useless* for me but at least both are working if I'll need a show off for my friends
*Useless because I can't use assistant apps (EN is not my native), Waze looks poor and blured on car screen etc.
Hey all,
I have a Oneplus 6 running XXX Rom and a 2018 Fiat 500X with the factory Android auto head unit.
My wife has an LG G6 that is stock.
With my phone, I have to clear android auto data and cache every time I want to use the app. If that doesn't work, I have to delete the app and re-install it. If I don't do this, Android auto won't start up. If I don't go through this process and just plug the phone into the headunit via the USB cable, the headunit just thinks it's a USB storage device and tries to play music from the phone, only to display, 'device not supported', on the screen.
My wifes LG G6 works almost every time, but is very very picky with which cable we use. If we use the cable supplied with her phone, AA will drop out after a few minutes. If we use the OP6 cable that came with my phone, it will stay connected for the entire trip.
Based on the fact that it works with her phone, I'm guessing that the issue is with my phone. How do I fix it?
Sometimes, my phone will tell me that AA is connected and running, but there will be nothing on the headunit.
Anything I can try?

Haven't approached dealer as I would like to determine where the fault lies first. Pretty sure it isn't the unit though, as other phones work fine.
I have MIDI selected on the OP6, with USB debug on. I think I have tried everything and it just won't connect more than once per install.
