Hello,
I´m using the Pioneer AVH-X8700BT Headunit. When I was using it with my Google Nexus 5 everything was fine. With the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Huawei Mate S I have problems and perhaps you have ideas that could help me:
Samsung Galaxy S6: I can use Android Auto without problems .... and after a while (sometimes 10, sometimes 20 minutes or longer) the display of the Head Unit turns black. But the navigation or Spotify sound is still playing.
Huawei Mate S: Here I can also usw Android Auto without problems. Then I go for shopping and take my device with me. After this I come back to my car and want to start Android Auto again but the Head Unit says "you can use Android Auto with this device". When I reboot the Huawei everything is finde again ...
And next problem with this device: I can sent WhatsApp messages with the Google voice function "sent Whatsapp to ...", BUT I´m not notified on the Head Unit, when I receive a WhatsApp message ... this works fine with the Samsung S6.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I recently got a LG Urbane as a gift. It worked fine out of the box with Android 5.x on it. Then there were a bunch of updates, the latest dated Feb 1, 2017. When the watch booted I connected it as normal. I then paired it with the Wear app which worked fine. Then came "updating" and "sync". Sometime during that the Bluetooth is disconnected and I can not see my phone from the watch or the watch from Bluetooth settings or the Wear app. I can see other Bluetooth devices and the watch sees one of my Bluetooth speakers but not my phone. I reboot. Nothing. I then factory reset again and pair without problems. Same thing happens. Connect, update, sync and then I lose the connection and can not get it back. I have looked at permissions and have allowed everything both on the watch and the phone but still nothing. I am relatively new to Android Wear so am I missing something obvious here, or if not what can I do to troubleshoot this issue?
Watch data:
Model #: LG Watch Urbane
Build #: M1D65H
Android Wear version: 1.5.0.3693151
Google Play Services: 8.7.01 (2590918-534)
Android OS 6.0.1
Date: Feb 01 2017
My LG-W150 is doing exactly the same thing as yours and seems to have occurred after the OS was updated to Nougat. I tried it both of our phones - a Pixel and a Moto Z-Force which are both running Nougat and I get the same sequence of events as you describe. Have you found a fix yet?
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.

hardware always is controled by a firmware which is the os of the car board

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 updating to oreo i'm not able to use android auto.
everything right now is at latest version.
android auto will not detect the headunit and add it as a "Car".
have tried multiple quality cables including oem samsung
the phone detects the connection and is charging, it also shows up as "data transfer" mode
bluetooth works fine, the spotifty function on the headunit will work if android auto is running on the phone however android auto will not mirror to the headunit while usb connected.
What version of Android Auto? Maybe downgrade back to 2.9.
Was 3.1 I will try 2.9
Thanks

2.9 didn't work either. and way to debug this?
I still can't get this to work.
pioneer wont help me, google wont help me.
I've reset my phone countless times.
any way to force AA to load on HU?
Was this ever solved? Not sure if these are related or not. I did not pay any attention to what version my S8+ was until now. Could it have taken ATT this long to upgrade my phone to Oreo?
Here is my story ...
I have Galaxy S8+ running 8.0.0. My Pioneer AVH-2330NEX is running firmware 8.35 dated July 2018. AA quit working after the Jan 2019 update to the phone. I get an "Andriod Auto stopped working" on the head unit. Here is the troubleshooting I have done so far.
I have tested the phone on a 2016 Honda factory head and all works. I have tested the Pioneer head with a friends old 1+1 (6.0.1 Cyaongen 13.1) and it works with the Pioneer.
But the S8+ and Pioneer do not.
Any thoughts?

Hello everyone.
I have the sony XZ1 Compact with Android 9 and I'm not available to connect it to my car with android auto.
Apparently, no one can with this configuration. Is it right? Is a way to do fix it? New Rom, Downgrade, ...
Thanks for your answer.
Loïc
P.s. I tried a few cable, it's a phone issue.
It has worked for me the past 6 months. I am on Android 9, Android Auto 4.2.591434-release with XZ1 compact. Does it work with other phones on your car?
Hi,
On Oreo i had problems with low in-call volume, but on Pie everything works fine without any issues.
Pie 47.2.A.10.45, AA 4.1.590944, XAV-AX100 unit
Hello,
I also have an issue with Sony Xperia XZ1 - Android 9, Android Auto 4.6.593324 - I can't connect it to my car - Kia Niro.
I have tried also with my phone to another car, it also doesn't work.
I've tried with another phone Samsung Galaxy S8 and works perfectly with the same cable. It seems that the issue is with my phone.
Is there a solution for this? Did someone succeed with a Sony XZ1?
Thanks in advance.
It works for me. Android 9, build 47.2.A.11.228 with Android Auto 4.7.593824-release
3rd party cable used in several of my company's fleet vehicles, 2017-2019 Ford Escapes
