Hi all,
I've posted this question already in the AA product forum without success. Hopefully there is a higher willingness for strange requests here @ XDA.
I'm using AA for Google Maps navigation and Spotify in my VW e-Golf.
At the same time I would love to display the VW Discover Pro map with POI's on my Active Info Display (virtual cockpit).
It works well with AA home screen, Spotify playback, phone, even with Google Maps as live map only.
BUT if you start a routing in Maps the VW map on the Active Info Display turns black and shows something like 'Navigation is running on main screen' or so.
Does anybody know a setting / hack / trick to switch this behaviour off?
Thanks
Axel
I found that using Waze instead of Google Maps allows me to do this. Maybe not an exact solution, but it does work.
There is the same problem with Waze in my car. Waze as moving map is okay but if you start a routing the AID map is turning black.
Maybe I need to explore if I can change any setting by OBDII coding...
Thanks anyway
I have the same problem in my Passat B8. When I use Android Auto navigation, I see on the AID screen that navigation is already running in Google Maps. It would be nice to be able to see VW maps on a virtual cockpit, and even better to see Google maps there, although with current software it is not real.
I will be grateful if you find a way to do it and share it here.

For sure it works with Waze and screen mirroring (I use it all the time) but maybe not with Waze directly through Android Auto.
I suppose it is not possible since Android Auto manages "navigation focus" of the car. Once you launch Google Maps/Waze, Android Auto asks the car to turn off built-in navigation.
Has anyone tried to access the GEM (green menu)?
Maybe there is an option to let the head unit ignore the navigation focus request.
Hi. Yes I've been in to the engineering menu and there is no option for this.
Subscribing.
I have Passat B8, I can have VW maps on dash, with Waze navigating, Google maps will not work.
Start car, plug in phone, AA starts, go to Waze, select destination. Then bring up VW Discover Pro map on dash.
Dont know how to get POI on VW Discover Pro map on dash.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Searches haven't turned up much. No problem if root is needed.

I think the solution has been given. Use android mirroring, then use waze or Google maps or sygic or any other program through mirroring, not Directly through android auto .
This way it will work. I haven't try it, but someone above said it worked.
Would be really nice if someone discover a fix for this.... I am an audi owner with virtual cockpit and is very frustrating to see the compass icon while using google maps.... and I don't have a mirroring solution....
What do you mean by android mirroring?
Until recently Waze had a bug with the new Android Auto interface and did not disable the car navigation.
Maybe a route to investigate for a dev? I’d pay& kill for such a tweak.
For reference: android mirroring means mirroring the whole screen of the phone to the Head unit and thus being able to "remote" control it. (basically project the phone to the center console)
There are a few apps that can do this, Google is your friend
I drive a Polo mk6 (AW) and there is a workaround using Waze, that I've just accidentally found.
- on steering wheel set Nav to show on Active Display dash
- plug your phone and start AA normally
- if not already, open Waze and start a route, next hit STOP, and then start the route again.
- now both, integrated Nav should be displaying on AID dash and Waze with your route on Composition Touch.
hope it helps
Years later but finally solved!
I found the MIB2 Toolbox already some years ago but found nothing to activate the AID map while using Google Maps.
Meanwhile the genius guys managed to patch the MIB2 head units to ignore the phone navigation status.
It really works - and some other nice feature too, like VIM

Can you explain what youhave done after installing the toolbox? From the github readme the options for Android Auto are limited. Which alterations did you make?

Don't know if I remember everything...
- You should not use the official release 4.1 - this is from Feb 2021 and doesn't contain the navigation fix
- Download the Master as ZIP and copy the unzipped content on your SD card --> https://github.com/jilleb/mib2-toolbox/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
- You can find the customization later in your green menu under Customization\Navigation - not in the AndroidAuto section
Once you have M.I.B installed and the Green Engineering Menu activated you install the Navignore option https://github.com/Mr-MIBonk/M.I.B._More-Incredible-Bash/discussions/93
Just picked up a 2019 Mazda with Android Auto. LG V30 running Android 8.0. I have all sorts of weird things happens indicating this app is NOT stable. I'm wondering who I go to, to try to work out the problems, Google or Mazda? (I doubt Mazda can do anything.)
I've been a Software Developer for over 20 years and my opinion thus far is Android Auto is both unstable and poorly thought out.
Geez, I could build a list a mile long but here's some major things off the top of my head...
- When replying to a text message, I get as far as AA reading my reply and asking me if I want to send, which I confirm, and then it says "Ha. Something went wrong." If I then ask "What went wrong?" AA Says there was a server error but I've fixed it now. No, you haven't, because it keeps doing it.
- The command "OK Google... Send text message to {insert contact name}" responds with "I don't know how to do that." Are you kidding me? I can do that on my phone when not using AA.
- The command "read last text message" AA responds it can't do that either.
- The command "read last notification" can't do it.
There are pretty basic necessities when driving. I'm sure Google has some explanation like "apps aren't allowed to access {some data} for security purposes." But in reality, at the end of the day, the software engineer's goals should be centered around making user functionality as useful as possible and easy to use. Looks like thus far, they've really missed the mark.
The funny (but sad) thing is, the Mazda salesman said the Apple Car Play worked better, but didn't warn me about the issues I was going to have with Android Auto. I can see why he said Apple was better. But Google is such a small company with so little resources, I can therefore understand why Android Auto is subpar (NOT.)
I use AA only for Waze navigation because the weird stuff you wrote about.
Google went for a super duper restrictive use of Auto functionalities for "drive security" sake, at the point they rendered the product almost unusable. It's ironic the AA software is even more restrictive than automotive manufacturers ones.
In my case, the only really usable software in AA are Waze (even with its frequent errors) and Google Maps.

I can see myself going the same route if things don't get better. One thing though I was really happy with was on my Acura, I'd usually have to turn down the volume to issue voice commands because I believe without Android Auto, you are talking to the phone mic, not the car mic for "OK Google" commands. With AA, it appears to use the car mic and picks up and understands your voice commands a lot better. Of course if most of the useful voice commands you want to use AA doesn't support anyway, I guess it's sort of a moot point.
I just deleted all the AA app data and cache and reinstalled thinking maybe I accidentally skipped over a permissions grant when I installed, but then, the app wouldn't be reading my text messages if I did that but I'll try anything to make it work.
I can't think of any BIG advantage to using Google Play Music via AA as opposed to the car's Bluetooth. It's also a little annoying to have to plug the phone in. Gee, here we are in 2019 and we're really *this* far from a well engineered solution from Google? I guess considering the app doesn't generate revenue for them, this may be the real issue. But I would guess car manufacturers have to pay some sort of licensing fee to include it in their cars. So AA technically would be more of a revenue generator than say the free Google Assistant - which ironically is more useful and works better than AA. Go figure. Although one could argue GA is a must have O/S feature to compete with iOS and therefore indirectly generates more revenue via phone sales.
@nangu
Is Waze still *that* much better than Google Maps? I know it was better in the past but hasn't Google added more features like accident reporting, etc. I believe Google actually owns Waze so maybe they are gradually merging the feature sets? So does the car actually display the Waze map? How to you indicate you want the Nav button to bring up the Waze map instead of Google Maps?

Hi @jazee
Actually, GMaps render to the car screen a lot better, it's smoother and graphically nicer. I have to test the "waze added" features like dynamic navigation based on traffic, speed camera alerts, warnings alerts, etc.
Last GMaps version available on my region doesn't display speed camera warnings as far as I tested, so it's a waze keeper for me until Google decides to incorporate this functionality on Maps at least.
The car does display the Waze map, alert icons, speed cams, etc, both visually and audible.
To display Waze or Maps on car screen, you press Android Auto navigation button. It depends on your default navigation app which is shown on the screen at first, but if you are displaying Maps in example, and you press the AA navigation button again, you can choose which navigation app you want to use and it is saved as default.

Hi @jazee,
I'm a user of AA for the last 3 years. Here my recomendations:
- For better AA experience, exit from all Gloogle BETA services.
- Don't try to use conversational language with the Google Assistant (yes! AA use GA). Use only accepted "commands".
- Remember that without Internet connection only a very limited commands are available. So, without network use only the screen.
Besides that AA is far away of the creapping media interfaces from car manufacturers!

- Where is the list of "commands" ?? (Can't use them if I don't know all of them.)
- I pretty much always have an Internet connection being on Verizon so doubt it has to do with my connection.
Well after several hours of troubleshooting and searching various forums, I found a solution to why I can't send text messages.

Hi
I'm using Android Auto in my Seat Arona for two things: music and navigation. I was pretty surprised when I discovered that there's no way to plan my route on the PC (or even phone) and then use this custom route within Android Auto navigation. Or maybe I'm wrong and there is some way to do that?
It does not depend on AA, but on your navigation app. Your are right, as of now, none of the nav apps (Google Maps or Waze) do not provide the possibility to plan custom routes. I'm not sure about Maps, but in Waze is possible to plan a route to include one stop point and to save it for a later time, when you will receive a reminder, if you want. But today, there is nothing comparable to the good old days offline navigation programs or apps.

me too im in the same situation and was asking same question
unfortunately it's not possible, all you can do is save a destination and once in the car you can select it as it will shows in the favorits (talking abt google maps)
the bad thing is that if you create a custom list of favorite places it won't show up
once in the car, google maps will only shows the saved location in the default list

I don't know about Maps, but there is no problem to save no matter how many favorites in Waze, and use them whenever you want from within AA. I also miss the custom rides that I could do and save in Microsoft Autoroute Express or iGO app, even so they where working only offline.

It's so weird that there's no option for that...Especially since both AA and Google Maps are using the same engine.
Anyway, thanks. At least now I know that there's no point in trying to find some solution to that.

Again, it looks to me that you are confusing AA with Google Maps. AA is only an interface between your phone screen and your car's infotainment system. There are only a few apps that are designed to work through this interface, that is, to run on your phone and to be displayed on your car's touchscreen. One of them is Google Maps and one other is Waze. It doesn't matter if you use Maps or Waze only on your phone or on your car's screen, they simply are not designed to enable custom routes. I agree that they should be improved to enable custom drives.
Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
Maybe I'm confusing it a little bit but to be honest for me AA is basically Maps + Spotify. And the main message here still remains true - I can access my custom route, designed on desktop, through the Google Maps on my phone but I can't get it on the AA. This is especially annoying when I need to set some unusual place as a target. Place that can't be found by name because it may not have one. I was in this situation and had to find something nearby and then navigate on my own...
Again, I have to contradict you. I tried this evening to use Maps on AA and I have to tell you that I was suprised. Unlike Waze, Google Maps provides the functionality to place more than one stop on your route, even when used on AA. I also found the option to load saved routes, and I think that it doesn't matter how many stop points. I didn't try to prepare the route on my computer abd save it for further use, but I found on Maps, when used on AA, the possibility to load saved routes. All this was tested on an Android phone connected to AA on my car's infotainment system.
Are you using an iPhone? Maybe on iPhone it's not possible, I don't know. But it is sure that everything you say you're missing, it is in fact possible on Maps used on AA with an Android phone.
Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
No, I have OnePlus 6T.
How did you plan and save it? Do you have access to those saved routes both in AA mode and regular Google Maps on your phone?
I already explained that I did not have the time today to test your scenario. I tried only two scenarios:
1. I started a new drive at home, on my phone only, including only one stop. I couldn't find how to save it. After that, I closed the app on phone without stopping the drive. I later connected the phone in my car, chose Maps instead of Waze, which is my default, and the already planned (at home) drive with one stop was there.
2. Phone being connected to my car and Maps in the foreground, I canceled the previous drive. Now the search box is shown and under it the last two destinations used. When I click on the search box, I'm given a lot of options and between them there is one called Saved. I suppose that if I would have a previously saved route, I would have to find here. I will try tomorrow your scenario and I will also make some screenshots from my car's display to post them here. I'll let you know if it worked or not.

Thanks!
Actually I was asking exactly for what you just posted now.
If you find some more time to test that it would be really great!
I had to make your scenario on my own to see if I get that saved route.
Here are some examples from today, everything is possible in Maps, unlike in Waze. The only thing that I didn't test is to save an entire drive planned on Maps on Windows and then retrieve it in Maps when opened in AA.
I'll post links to my youtube account because the video clips are to big to upload them here.

Ok, that's weird. I don't have all those options like "Favorites" or "Labeled". I had one starred point there that I had to add by accident long time ago but I can't remove it. I mean, I did remove it from full Google Maps but it's still there on the AA version. I've manage to make one address starred and that showed up in AA. But that's it. I wonder if it's because I have some setting turned off or something...
It's not about any setting. Just open Maps on phone or laptop.
Search for an address you would like to have it as a favorite. When you find it, let's say on your phone, you will see on the bottom of the screen a few buttons. If you scroll to the right you'll find the Save button. Press it and you'll be given three options: Favorites, Want to go and Starred places. Choose where you want to store the address. After that, going back to AA, you'll find your address under the category you saved it on. I think you don't see the different categories because you never used them, that is, you never saved anything under any category besides Favorites. After you will make your favorites database, planning a multiple stop drive straight on the car's screen will be very easy.

It doesn't work for me like that. I did save one destination at the "Want to go" and it simply doesn't show up. I don't have those categories visible at all. Those favs shows up directly, no categories before.
I'll test that more throughout the weekend. Thanks for your help with that. At least I know there's some way to simplify searching for location.
Check if you have all involved apps updated. What Android version you have? I am on Pie (9) because I've heard that there are still many unsolved problems on 10 and AA. Wish you luck!
Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
I'm on Android 10 with AA being 5.4. So maybe it is somehow related.
I'll check maps later. Thanks for your help!
You're welcome!
Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
I've manage to get categories. I think the issue was that I had turned off some tracking from Google that probably prevented synchronization. I'm not 100% sure that really was the case but at least now I've got access to the points I could define on phone or PC. Not the ideal solution but I'm closer to final effect than before.
Happy to hear you're closer to the solution. If you have routes with multiple stop points that you drive everyday, I would suggest to try to plan such a route on your computer, save it as a map in My Maps category, and than see if it is possible to use it on phone or AA as an already made route.

Hi,
I'm disappointed with AA. I think there is some space for an open source alternative to this system which is so closed.
Moreover the end of life of the standalone version makes me feel that Google doesn't care much about their customer experience.
I tried the Google Assistant driving mode and it's... a disaster for now.
I think it would be easy to create a great AA like launcher. But to make it succesfull there must be a community and an ecosystem around that. Apps are important even in automotive context.
Typically Waze is a key app that many drivers want.
At this time I'm wondering what is the best approach to start this kind of project. I see few show stoppers and I'm interested to get some thought from you about that.
1/ Head unit integration : long time ago I worked on the reverse engineering of the AA protocol. I discovered that the protocol is using SSL certificates. Head units holds a public key and mobile use a private key provided by Google Play Services. The problem is that these certificates have very short lifetime (about 6 months) and if I remember fine the root cerificate will expire in 2030 or something. I don't think that head unit s check the expiration date anyway (because many of them don't have system time). But for sure you need a Google private key in order to initiate communication with a head unit. The key could be captured decompiling code few years ago, don't know if it's still as simple as that.
If head unit really don't check the expiration date then it could be possible to replace the whole AA stack with an independent one.
But even if this work I'm not sure it's possible to disable the native AA protocol and take control of the USB port without rooting.
2/ Apps integration. There are 2 categories of Automotive apps : media apps and navigation apps. I think there are also a category for messaging apps.
Navigations apps are apps that provides an automotive friendly display. Waze does this for example.
Media apps are easy to integrate becaase they rely on the legacy mediabrowser APIs.
Integrating the navigation apps is tough. Because these apps are exposing a special AA service that only privileged apps can invoke (by default).
However apps dev can also allow a third party app to connect their dispkay service. This won't ever happen except if the car launcher become mainstream.
Good point is that would not require any change in implementations : it's just an access right problem.
I have seen a lot of car launchers in Play store. They all display the apps on native mode which is not what you want while driving.
Any comments to this ?
I would also like to see an alternative way...but unfortunately I did not find anything yet.
I'm also not happy with everything on Android Auto.
For example:
- I have apps (e.g. navigation) that are not compatible with Android Auto
- I can't accept Whatsapp calls on Android Auto
- The navgation of media apps is not the best way (if you want to change the playlists, there are way too many inputs necessary)
- I can't turn off Google Maps (GPS) to preserve battery and reduce heat on the phone
- I need internet (I live in a rural area...therefore sometimes I don't have internet and then in a lot of times, Android Auto just crashes...)
- I don't like Google's update policy (it's just good luck if a new version of Android Auto works stable). I want to have a working version and leave it on the phone.
From a user standpoint I definately would like to see an AA alternative. I don't need to watch videos or anything like that but there are a few necessary apps for me that AA doesn't allow.

You can achieve that by disabling Android Auto automatic updates on Play Store app.

No, unfortunately not. Every Google app has an expiration date, also Android Auto. This expiration date then forces you to update your app. Otherwise it will not start.
There are a few Android dongles that trick the car's headunit into thinking it is connected via Android Auto. However, most of the devices are CarPlay AI units that trick the headunit into thinking is is connected to a CarPlay device and then display the Android system through the headunit. But they are all buggy.
Perhaps something can be learned from how they do that. An app that mimics Android Auto but allows full user control would be great.
I am by no means an expert but I want to help do this! I liked using rooted devices for AA and having AA tweaker but I always felt like it was just the start of something not a finished product so I'm definitely down with this. What I feel like would be the simplest approach would be making an Android auto app that (it communicates with your phone and doesn't need data) runs on a cheap tablet that you put on your dash or wherever in the car and from there you have full control over the app and device. Just my thoughts

I used to use Screen2Auto but it required too much upkeep every time Google made changes to Android Auto. The last time it broke I couldn't get it working again.
I have a 2016 Mazda CX-5. It has a touch screen if you use it in the default way (touch only when the car is stopped, otherwise the knob selector must be used). But immediately after you connect an Android Auto, it disables the touch screen even if the car is stopped. This isn't very pleasant because many functions are much faster with using a touch screen (entering an address for example). I'm talking about when a car doesn't move.
AFAIK, Mazda made this decision because Android Auto doesn't allow BOTH the touch screen and physical controls (knob selector) to work. They decide on physical controls and the touch screen is then disabled.
Do some of you guys have any idea if this (theoretically) can be overridden? Is this the reason why Coolwalk (beta) doesn't work on cars with knob selectors (Mazda, BMW, Audi ...)?
Is this limitation coded in Mazda's infotainment firmware?
I have the same car. The default Mazda entertainment software with original USB hub allowed touchscreen with hacked Android Auto tips from Mazda forums. But when I decided to use my iphone with the car which interface much more useful and beautiful, the tech guy upgrade the software on the car & replace the hub, then Android Auto disable the touchscreen. I try several times but the ugly interface and the dead touchscreen force me to prefer Apple Carplay. Even the latest beta AA cannot use touchscreen.
Tnx.
AFAIK, the touch screen is disabled only on Android Auto? Can you confirm that the touch screen works while using Apple CarPlay?
I've got a mazda 3 2018, I've installed AA with MZDAIO. As it was possible in the tweak to remove this restriction, i've done it, so the touch screen always work. But still, I never use it.
Honestly, learn to play with the knob. Except for the keyboard, I love controling AA with the center knob, bottons do exactly what they are supposed to, no missclick while driving, easy and fast to control. Bonus point, the screen stay clean loll
When I need the keyboard, I use my cellphone anyway.
I think with AAWireless there is an option to remove this restriction too.
Tnx.
You are right. MZDAIO is a firmware for infotainment and it can remove this restriction.
I have the official firmware (MDZAIO installation is more complex with the latest version of official firmware) and looking for a solution there.
Don't get me wrong - I also love the knob and Mazda really made a great job there. But when using Android Auto, many actions are slower and inconvenient.
I'm using Carsifi (AA Wireless competitor) and it can't remove this restriction. Can someone confirm that AA Wireless can remove it?

Tnx, but I don't understand (I tried with a dictionary to translate at least some words).
In your opinion, which option can disable touch screen restriction?
I know that there are Android Auto limitations on how many touches/clicks are allowed. Maybe you have this on your mind?

The option "Remove tap restriction" (probably) removes Google's restriction for "too much clicking/touching on the screen". What I want is to enable a touch screen. It is disabled on Mazda's infotainment when Android Auto is connected.
hix same problem. native AA on Mazde can't touch. need use custom AA install by Mazda AIO but it' not stable.
but i upgrade fw to 74+, AIO Tweak not compatible. i think should be familiar with the knob
I too have a hard time using apps with that stupid knob. Some functions are slow using knob, that I can still tolerate. However, some function just must use touch. For eg, when using Waze, sometimes I need to scroll the map to see my route. There is no way to do this with knob other than to zoom in/out. I just want to move the map at the zoom level I am at.
AIO is also not an option. I need to buy special connector to get it working and it's quite complicated.
Why can't Mazda just allow touch!??!
i connected to mazda connect SSH. can edit android auto source code to active touch?
I am the same, the central control is very comfortable but there are some options of applications that would be easier to use the touch ... hopefully someone finds the solution
