Has anyone tried the GS6 with Android Auto? I recently upgraded the head unit in my car to the Kenwood DDX9702S with android auto support. I set everything up and it seems to work great for a few minutes however it intermittently disconnects. For instance one minute Im streaming spotify and utilizing google maps - next minute - deck goes blank (or sometimes goes back to the home screen on the deck), music stops and phone makes the usb disconnect sound. I've tried a second cable with no change. Longest I think its worked is maybe 10 minutes, however I tried my work phone which is a GS5 on sprint - and it works flawlessly. Anyone know if this is a known issue with the GS6?
Thanks in advance!
Ive just bought a brand new Mate 10 which came with EMUI 8.0.0 (Android Oreo 8.0). Everything is great except that when I plug the phone into my car Android Auto starts on the phone (Black AA Screen) and the HU starts to switch to AA but all I get is a black screen. Whats even more interesting is that AA seems to be alive behind it all as if I touch the screen, things happen, eg if I press the hardware phone button and then touch the screen, it will call someone. If I hold the hardware phone button down I can issue voice commands.
Any idea's how I can get my HU screen to work?
I am using a Xiaomi A1 running Android8.0 and also have an Opel Astra K - with no AA-problems!
Try to check your cable, or replace your cable to the original one ...

Poxy lame response from. Huawei:
"Thank you very much for contacting Huawei and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused.
With regards to your inquiry, we would like to inform you that Huawei is currently working with Google to fix this problem. Please look out for new updates for your phone system and Android Auto, and install the updates when possible. It is recommended that you wait for new updates in which the problem is fixed."
So 12 months after the issue was reported with Android 6 devices, it's still happening with Android 8. So #[email protected]&ing lame.

It's really incredible that this issue has not been fixed yet. I have issues too with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Android Auto. It's supposed to be a "flagship" device and it doesn't work with Android Auto. Wtf?
I was thinking about to get a Huawei mate 10 pro.
Googled android Auto and USB-C.
No thanks Looks I like I will look for an old USB phone.

DOnt be put off by USB-C. Its purely a Huawei issue. Point in case, my new Nokia 8 works great.
I dont think is the phone problem in your case it might be the AA car board compatibility! I have Mate 10 pro and honda civic 2018 and AA works with no issue.! I am a happy Huawei AA user: v well connectivity BT phone, media and charging in the same time of usingAA.

Car works perfectly with my Oppo R7sf and Nokia 8. It's a phone issue.
that might be the car bord version of software and phone system... as i explained I do have honda civic 2018 with os 4.2.2 and my mate 10 pro emui 8.0.0

Could be. But it's clearly capable of running with Android 7(Oppo) and 8 and 8.1 phones (Nokia) so whose the best candidate?
i dont have an answer but to say i was really sceptical when i purchase my car not long ago reading all was post by huawei AA compatibility..... it has nothing to do with Huawei OS system.... i am the one using both

So maybe it's just that EMUI has a fix to work with the hardware you have. So far, Ive seen way to many people say their Huawei DOESNT work. Way that don't than do.

Ahh yep...well aware of that. But as I said, everyone else seems to be able to deal with what is there. If all you want to be is a fanboi and tout that you one setup works, that's great. This thread is here to warn people of the ONGOING issue Huawei have with their 2nd rate bloatware OS.
I've got also a Opel Astra K and have several issues with the Mate 10 Pro, connected with the OEM cable..
Despite a factory reset (I originally cloned data from my Honor 7 with Phone Clone app), i have sometimes soft resets when I connect the phone to my car, with a message "No compatible application.. ".
Some other times, I've got a black screen, the only way to play music is to select USB as source on IntelliLink (Opel infotainment).
Phone doesen't work correctly : no notification on car display when receiving or making a call
Waze not working at all.
Never had this issues with my Honor 7. Outside this I'm satisfied with my phone, but I would like to have Android Auto running well....

I have also the Opel astra k. Despite waze not working and the phone not showing up while calling. I have no issue.
But I have a new phone and the big screen of intellilink (r900 I think?)
Never drove long though. Today I will drive for 2 or three hours. Let's that there is no crash!
The bugs are annoying. But I don't care.

I have the "basic" Intellilink (7 inch display). Maintenance of my Astra is programmed for next Thursday, I'll ask my dealer if there is any update of Opel software
Same exact problem with Opel Astra K and Huawei Mate 10 Pro, but problem got worse when I went to update the software to the Opel service.
Had R 4.0 IntelliLink version 1.12.5.2 for 1,5 year and after updating it about 2 weeks ago, it's version is IP34.5.1 (1.34.5.6). Also HW version is E2.
Before the update I had the random black screen on android auto, about 1 out of 4 times but it was working without issues 3 out of 4 times. After the update..... I ALWAYS get black screen So, the problem got worst for some reason.
So, I completely factory reset both the phone and R 4.0 IntelliLink... unfortunately same issue with black screen. I also tried both original cable and an SBS type C cable that used to work before the update... nothing again..
I also have a Lenovo Phab that works without any issue on Android Auto! Also iPhone with CarPlay works very nice and always as well!
Tried everything I found on the web regarding dev mode etc but nothing helped. The screen remains black, understands the touch and in order for the screen to show R 4.0 IntelliLink default icons, I remove the key, open the door, lock the car and after 2 minutes I unlock the car, put the key on the ignition and everything is back to normal.
Really don't know why exactly the problem got worse, although I read around the web that in order for Android Auto to work on R 4.0 IntelliLink EVERY TIME, you simply have to update the software on the OPEL service.

Personally I think it's the other way around. I think EMUI can't work with newer HU software.
After one minute connected (sometimes a few seconds) Android Auto crashes, starts again, connect, disconnect and so on. I have to disconnect because it keeps the loop forever. I have tried factory reset, USB debug enabled and some other suggestions from the web, nothing works. Galaxy S8 in the same car works fine. Galaxy S10 in a Buick Envision works fine too so it seems to be the combination of phone and car.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Had the same problem in my Mitsubishi outlander, after disabling bixby routines everything was fine
Also heard Night mode can cause this,

Same issue with my Land Rover Discovery Sport. Definitely some sort of incompatibility issue but is it problem with S10 or Land Rover? I'll never know because the phone has been returned for refund.
Just want to say however that the S10 connected fine with my wife's Mini Countryman and my daughter's VW Polo.
Have you find and answer, I have the same problem with my Peugeot 3008?

No answer so far. I gave away the S10 and now I use an S8 which works as expected.
I have updated my phone to android 10 and everything went great, it worked fine and I was pretty happy.
I drive Hyundai Tucson 2017 and using phone (via bluetooth) in the car was great, but since my upgrade there is no sound from the phone (any sound, playing music or phone call) and I can't answer or make the call from the car, phone is pretty useless in the car now (or car is pretty useless with the phone now).
I deleted bluetooth device, and connected fresh and it didn't help. Is there any option I should check? I spent an hour looking through settings and couldn't find anything related. What are other options? Going back to android 9? Hopefully not. Just don't tell me to go to car dealer and ask them to update firmware, I would rather kill myself
I don't have 10 yet so take that for what it's worth.
Do you have a bluetooth speaker or headset you can pair with and see if it works then?
When I do get 10 I'll try with wife's 2017 Sorento, I believe KIA and Hyundai use very similar head unit software and hardware (assuming your trim is the same).
I just tried with JBL Flip 4 and works fine

Hrm. My next suggestion would be a factory reset - a bit drastic but often helps when there's been a major update. If you do this just make sure you back things up first.
Otherwise I have not heard any other issues on the Lenovo/Motorola forums nor Reddit with this issue.
Hi all,
I have an android tablet with headunit reloaded. Got this off Alexpress for my car. Up until recently it was working perfectly without issues. However I'm not sure what happened as when I connect the cable to the phone it launches android auto but immediately switches to the radio in the car.
Any ideas on what could it be ? The unit is running on android 10.
Regards
