Hello.
I'm trying to configure my android auto so it works wirelessly. The wireless android auto is supported on Toyota Aygo 2018+, so I should be good here, and it's obviously supported on S20 FE 5G. The phone is connecting to my X-Touch without a problem, Android Auto is working flawlessly on USB, however when I simply launch the car it does not connect wirelessly. I updated android auto from apk mirror (it's not available in my country) and I tried enabling wireless projection, however when I turn the setting on in the developer options it does not appear on the list when I go back. I tried to reboot my phone just after I did that but it still didn't work.
Do you have any suggestions?

No, it isn't. Just plain old AA, not wireless. Wireless only very recently started appearing OEM in cars. In 2018 it would have required an aftermarket head unit, which began offering AA wireless support in summer 2018, not long after Google initially announced AA Wireless.

Coolwalk AA UI is rolling out as a public beta right now Seems that beta channel is full, but APK should soon be available at ApkMirror
Android Auto's long-awaited redesign is nearly here — here's how you can take it for a test drive
Which version are you in ?
I think it's still a server side thing sadly for non beta members
It's a server-side switch, so even if you have the latest beta apk, it won't help.

Yes, you have the point here, it's a server side.
I'm at latest beta, and I've tried rebooting phone and clearing AA cache, but still no coolwalk interface on both wired and wireless AA.
Anyhow, this is last phase of testing, and we should soon have it
Still hope to get it public before 2023
If you set the flags with root now. Will they reset?

Thread 'Google Cast & "Coolwalk"' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/google-cast-coolwalk.4396533/
before google released it to beta, it reseted after 1 day... now it works since 3 days
unfortunately, it got reseted today :-(
Become a beta tester, go to settings, apps, android auto: click on the three dots upper right side of the screen en select 'uninstall updates'. Reboot the phone and update android auto to the latest available version. Connect to the car, setup android auto and disconnect from the car/headunit again. Reboot your phone once more and android auto is 'Coolwalk" when connected again.
Worked for me on a Oneplus 10 Pro with the latest Oxygen 13 OS, headunit in the car is an aftermarket Kenwood DMX8019DABS,
Works for a day then just reverts back, can't seem to make it stick.

That did not work for me. Probably because I'm not a beta tester and I've been trying to become one for years. That's with the latest daily build on 11.21.2022
I'm an Android Auto beta tester and my issue is that if I reboot my phone then connect to my car, Coolwalk UI will load, then if I connect to my car again a few hours later it loads back the old AA UI.
Any ideas why?
Same problem here, this beta coolwalk rollout is a complete disaster!

For me as beta tester Coolwalk keeps working, also after multiple reboots. I'm also beta tester for the Google app, Waze and Maps. I'm on Oxygen 13 (Android 13). Not sure what makes the difference compared to your situation.

Here is what I have done to get Coolwalk working again, do note that I am an Android Auto beta tester.
I went into Settings>apps>Android Auto
Force stop Android Auto
Cleared data
Uninstalled updates
Installed latest Android Auto beta version (8.6.1246) from Apk Mirror
Reboot phone
Installed latest Android Auto beta version (8.6.1246) again
Connected to car and AA Coolwalk UI has loaded
Disconnected from car
Waited 30 minutes and reconnected to car
Coolwalk UI still loaded
I will see in about 2-3 hours if it sticks
**So I tried AA after 2.5 hours and AA loaded the old UI

same happened to me... also beta tester.... but:
-- clear cache of AA
-- reboot phone
-- start headunit server in AA settings (dev has to be activated)
-- keep headunit server running
As long as i connect to my car with headunit server running, coolwalk keeps enabled for me since 4 days now.
I didnt notice any additional battery drain.

I tried your suggestion and Coolwalk UI loaded, I will see if it will still load again tomorrow.
I've experienced this AA UI roll back to the old one. But after cleared the cache and rebooting the phone it turns back to cool walk UI until now.
This problem appears when I'm using the wireless AA adapter/dongle (Carlinkit CCPA), finally I'm installed a Head Unit Reloader on my HU (it's a Pioneer Android) and works perfecly without adapter.
Also it still showed cool walk UI when I connect my phone to my other car that use an OEM Toyota Head unit with wireless AA adapter (Carlinkit CP2A).
Maybe its a adapter/dongle firmware compatibility issue triggered the AA to roll back to the old one...
Found a lot of info on this for rooted devices. but not to much for non rooted devices
i want to install AA on a LTE tablet that will stay in my car. the tablet will run other car related apps.
but im tired of having my phone tied up playing music draining my battery. specially on long trip.
also i cant record videos or talk on the phone and still have music lol i know things i shouldnt be doing anyway..
is there anyway to make it work. i tried to sideload it. but got an error 22 that android auto needed to be installed on my os.
any help would be appreciated
maybe try AA emulator on this tablet?
Android Auto app is not targeted to tablets, only phones. And since Android 10, Android Auto is a system app, not a user app. So, if your current Android version is 10 or higher and you sideloaded the Android Auto apk, it will not work. To make it work you'll need to root the tablet and install Android Auto as a system app.
[GSI] Fix 'Communication error 22' on Android Auto
If you've installed a custom ROM that doesn't come with Android Auto pre-installed, you'll get the following error when connecting your phone to your car (the Android Auto app opens correctly, the error is only shown when you connect to the car)...

The easiest alternative is to use your tablet as an Android Auto receiver using Hedunit Reloaded Emulator. It's available on the Play Store and is very cheap. It has even a free trial app with a 5 minute limit if you want to test it.
When installed, this apps acts as an Android Auto receiver. This way if you connect your phone to your tablet using an OTG cable (or a USB-C to USB-C cable if both devices have this port) your phone will detect the tablet as an Android Auto compatible headunit and show stuff on it.
You can use this app in Android headunits if they don't have Android auto compatibility, as long as they support USB OTG mode.
