Dear all,
I have a Skoda Superb mj 2015 with andriod auto support. This used to work brilliantly together with my previous phone, a Uhans Max 2.
I now have a Chuwi hi9 pro (8.4 inch "tablet/phone" with andriod 8) and can't get it to work anymore.
Installed the APK from feb 2019 and it runs on the phone alright, but when i connect to the car headset it doesn't start the android auto interface and says there is a problem.
Have tried multiple cables already (usb-c type) , re-installed the apk, rebooted the phone and car and tried switching on/off the usb debugging on the phone.
No success.
Has anybody else been successful using android auto on the Chuwi hi9 pro, or any other ideas that might solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Dear all,
I own a fresh Kia C'eed with a fully functioning (LCD display) Head Unit and support both for Android and Apple phones.
I am trying to connect my (relatively new) Xiaomi Redmi 4X to it. Everything else works (e.g. Bluetooth connection), EXCEPT the Android Auto feature.
Specifically, when I connect it via USB cable it briefly shows that it tries to connect and then reverts to charging mode.
Moreover, I see from Google Play that my phone is not compatible with Android Auto, which I think is the main problem.
My phone's specs are:
- Android Version: 7.1.2 N2G47H
- MIUI Version: MIUI Global 9.1 | Stable [9.1.1.0 (NAMMIEI)]
It supports over the air updates (and has done some already) and - based on what I read in the forum - people have made Android Auto work with the Xiaomi Global ROM.
QUESTIONS:
Shouldn't then my phone work ok?
If not, how could I fix this, save for flashing my ROM?
If all else fails, is there some alternative app that mirrors Android phones on a car Head Unit?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Am answering my own query for the record here:
It turns out Xiaomi Redmi 4X _does_ support Android Auto. It was simply not supported in my country. In such a case, simply download the apk from a mirror site (e.g. apkmirror) and install it.
Then all will work well with the car.
In case of connection issues (a) reboot your phone, (b) make sure you have a data connection active (for some maybe needed updates) and (c) replace the USB cable if all else fails.
Then, all works like a charm.
cheers!

As mentioned in my original post, you can e.g. go to: h**ps://***.apkmirror.com, find and download the latest APK for Android Auto and install it. That's all.
I have a problem to establish a USB connection between my KIA Cerato head unit and Xiaomi A1 and A2 phones.
The phones are not recognised, which means that Android Auto is not working on the car's LCD screen.
Bluetooth connection works just fine, so Phone and Music can be played via KIA Entertainment unit.
In the same time Nokia G20 connects seamlessly with Android Auto working properly.
Is there any workaround for Xiaomi phones?
Seems mtp is not working as expected, by default is set to charge, I set it to mtp manually and 5 seconds later it reverts to charge giving error in my car's screen ... Any ideas?
nobody having issues with this phone and android auto ??
I just paired mine, the protocols were phone, text msg, and music. I don't use music so turned that off. But I can tell you that the usb settings, like mtp and charge, but also aptX (other settings for bluetooth), aren't persistent for some reason. The best workaround I've found is to bring up settings and change it back manually, and leave settings open. Seems to stick then until, yup, you close settings.
A2 android auto entirely broken.
Same problem here. Android auto entirely not working in my brand new Kia portage. My other phone xiaomi note 4 works fine. The a2 isn't working and won't let me change the settings from charging to mtp. Hopefully an update will fix it.
Same here any news how to solve this?

It looks like no one know how to make work Android Auto with a car on Xiaomi Mi A2?
I've used Android Auto in my Mi A2 without problems, used in Renault MediaNav and Pioneer units. Sometimes the problem is your USB cable, I tried with a Huawei USB-C cable and didn't work(the cable is thin than original), also with a cheap cable (also thin than original)
and get the same result, with the original cable worked like a charm!

Thank you! Probably, I'll try some short cable, not original one. Actually
two times I got connection for 5-10 min. But with the same cable old Samsung Note 3 (Android 9) works very good...
Some tips about Android Auto and Xiaomi Mi A2:
Works OK with VW Tiguan by install new v. 5.7 , but after latest update Android Auto (v 5.7.603964) connection to the car stop working!
Downgrade to v 5.7.603944 make Xiaomi Mi A2 and VW works again.
Hello,
i have a P30 Pro with the Firmware VOG-L29 9.1.0.178(C431E4R2P2) and a problem with Android Auto.
If i connect the P30Pro with my car, there is a connection error.
The USB Settings on the phone switch automaticly to only charging. If i switch to data transfer it changes automaticly to only charging.
On the last Firmware i have no problems with the connections to Android Auto.
Have anybody the same probleme or an idea?
Thank you
Lapidu
Sometimes, I have to select the data transfer setting two or three times before it will connect to the car. But it always works after 2 or 3 times. USB debugging might also make it work better.
I have no problems and never had. Also i never changed the connection mode, nor did i enable usb debugging. I'm using the original cable, though. Some cars/phones seem to have problems with cheap usb cables, my dad also noticed that but is fine after using the original one.
Was it working once? Did you registered the car in Android Auto or has is failed ever since? Is there a message on the phone?
Witch firmware do you have? And what for a model?
Worked on every firmware since beginning (185 atm). 128 GB Version
I have similar issue, the connection "dies" everytime I connect it to the car for the first time after being parked. Takes about 1-2 minutes, then it disconnects. I haven't investigated what the phone does, but my quickfix is usually to plug the cable in/out. After that, the connection is stable. The issue started around .162 or .165
Hi all. I have this problem as well. Just bought a carplay, but my P30 Pro (Android 10) wouldn't connect at all. I tried with different cables, including original one, still no luck. WIth any other cable it works fine from a Samsung Note 10+. Any idea?
I have the same issue with my P30 pro and civicX
After emui 10 I just can't use android auto in the car.
I have the app on my phone, and it works on the phone. But when I connect to the car it wont work.
(all the Samsungs and apple that I have home work perfectly)
I'm using emui 10 and android auto.
I have the same problem as all people here.
After usb plug, only charge (that's not important) . Some times connects at first time and some other i have to select other usb connection mode (i discovered unplug cable is not necessary)
Will try to change usb cable with the original one
Hello there! I'm trying to connect my P30 Pro with Android Auto on a Seat Leon. I always receive an error message and the connection with android auto always fails. I tried to enable Usb Debug, to install old versions of AA on my phone (for example v. 5.3 and v. 5.4). I'm using the originale data cable (actually two of them since I have two P30 pro at home). AA worked well with my old Samsung Note 8 and Mate 10 Pro. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you!
you guys need better cables, use the factory Huawei one and you'll have no issues.
I'm using two original cables (I have two P30 Pro at home). It isn't a cable problem but probably an issue with Android 10 and Android Auto. This problem affects different recent models of Huawei (P30 pro, mate 20 pro..).
Hello there! Just an update, AA doesn't work only with the Seat Leon. I tried other cars and everything is ok. I will try to update Full Link Seat.. It should solve the issue. Byee

Hello! My p30 pro can connect with Hyundai kona (2021) via usb cable. But in wireless mode, the coonection has issue: the wificonnection is over the 4g+ connection, so, I don't have mobile data on the kona's device. What can I do?
Hi... Does anyone have this phone working via USB with the connected BMW app?... Bluetooth streaming works... But can't get usb and connect to work or launch Spotify app from connected
i have same problem , any new?
Nope still have same issue ... Work iPhone no issues... But p20 pro just won't work
I think Huawei must have changed something between emui versions 9.0 and 9.1.. (definitely worked on emui 8.1 and early 9.0)
Had same issue on my Mazda until recent Mazda CMU Update where they added some workaround
fixed issues:
"Certain Android smartphones (HUAWEI P20, P30 Pro and Mate 20 Pro etc.) may not work as a USB audio device."
It works wireless with the app but not via USB never has .. so can't use apps via connect

Hi Ishy,
Not sure how you connected your Galaxy phone through Android Auto on BMW I drive . OEM do not support Android Auto function yet unless you have a IMI 1000 retrofitted. If that's the case, try uninstalling Android Auto on your Mi 11tpro and re install it again. This should solve the problem in most cases.

Im not sure what that means but I have a 2019 BMW 330e which comes with standard android auto and apples version of it whatever its called from factory.
I can connect my samsung to it and it connects via Bluetooth and wifi.
But my mi 11t pro connects via bluetooth but the wifi doesnt connect to it
I get a notification saying android auto-continue through vehicle.
And then it fails to connect.
I had same problem some time ago. You should install Android auto as system apk. There is a guide somewhere with termux to do that. I don't remember where I found it, but I'm my case that trick did the job
Im going to try and find it. Just tried to install android auto as an apk through some random apk website but that didnt work.
