I can't seem to find anything about this. A few threads about will it work with my phone and most answers are from people that don't know that it's even available. I have a oneplus 6 with the latest 9 build. Is it hardware related or software. Anyone who has any idea how this works and might know how to enable it I'd be stoked. I have a Kenwood DDX9905S that supports it and I updated it's software also.
In AA on your phone, is there a setting for "Enable Wireless Projection?" That needs to be on, and the phone has to initially connect and work with a USB connection, before wireless will work. After it's all set up, there's no need for the USB connection.

I work in a Skoda dealership we are doing training for a new car that's coming in the next two weeks and it will have Wireless Android Auto. I think the car will have to support it but I'm not sure yet until training takes place. Will update once I know next week.

Thanks for the info. My car stereo supports it I just don't think my phone does. And wonder what it would take to make it work.

As far as I know the car also has to support this, it will only be available on newer models or cars built after a certain week of this year.

Hi, I just recently got a new Golf with the app connect system that has Android Auto functionality built in. However, I just can't get it to work with my G4. I've downloaded the Android Auto app, I've tried using different cables but every time I plug it in the AA app seems to just crash. It also won't connect manually when I try to connect it in the car. I live in Australia. Is there anything else I can do/download to make this work? Thanks.
Don't know if this will help, but try to set the Android Auto on a headunit. Mine was set to Mirrorlink by default.
Maybe in the settings you should define it to choose Android Auto instead ?
Make sure the phone is unlocked when its plugged in. Also, try plugging in the phone before you turn on the car. My Nexus 5 is able to connect 90% of time on my 2016 GTI.
I just picked up my GTI last night. The salesman couldn't get Android Auto to connect to my AT&T G4. Android Auto was set as the preferred connection. I've tried connecting with my phone locked, unlocked, plugged in before/after the car is on, plugged in after/before the phone is unlocked, USB debugging on and off, MTP, charging only, PTP.

I work at a vw/Skoda dealership. I am tech savvy. I have tried I phones and various Androids with Mirrorlink/Android Auto and to be honest the results are pretty Mixed. I phones mostly pair OK but with so many iterations of Android topped with manufactures bloatware its impossible. I have failed to pair phones that are compatible and tried every app every cable and every configuration even the Manufacturers are clueless. Some models I managed to pair took me 40 or 50 attemps. Android Auto is in its infancy and stability will take time. I managed an S5 with ease and S6 with great difficulty a HTC one A9 which is very unstable. A HTC one M8, but didn't manage the Huawei P8 yet but I'm working on it. I failed with a galaxy S4 and succeeded with another one. I have an LG G4 on the way so that will be interesting. I have had 100% success pairing I iPhones but customers tell us the connection drops out. However I do think Android Auto offers more in terms of functionality if you can live with the fact that you may not ever get it working.
Anything new with G4
Did you manage to make the LG G4 working?
Hello
I had the same problem with my VW Passat GTE 2016 + LG G4. Solved it by going into the settings in the car (under App Connect) and chose Android Auto as default instead of MirrorLink which was the default before.
(although it doesn't work very well anyway, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't)
I have Android Auto 1.6.2400

Just to confuse the issue even more, my vw connects to android auto pretty much perfectly every time & yet I only discovered by accident that the default setting on the head unit was set to mirror link so maybe that's not the cause for you after all. It's pretty basic software so far it seems.

I picked up my new Golf today, but it doesn't have the App Connect. My phone is an Oneplus One with MM Cos 13, do you think Android Auto can work with it?
Just my experience : I own a 2016 Jetta with App Connect and a Nexus 4. I had similar issues with AA connections first. The phone was running Android L 5.1..1. 2 weeks ago I went ahead and installed CM13 and now AA works way better : I never had a connection failure since... Really a plug and forget experience now. So I think Android M is better for Android Auto. Moreover I read that latest AA update includes fixes for connection stability.
Just got a 2016 Hyundai Sonata and am pretty disappointed with Android Auto.
Are there any tweaksn/root for this system or anyway to use other apps with it?

What problems do you have with it (just curious)? There are no mods that I'm aware of, we just have to use what they gave us. If it's an app that's bothersome, contact the dev. and ask them to make changes.
Unfortunately, there is a very small percentage of Android users that have Android Auto so devs are probably not that motivated to tweak it.

When I plug my phone in to it some times it connects some times i does not, if I leave usb debugging enabled I get a random reboot, random apps not working, the lag, seems to use much more power than the USB port can put out. This happens with a rooted G4 and a stock note 4.
It's hard to find anything useful information about this cars system.

Ah, I'm experiencing the same issues, and I don't think they can be remedied by a hacked Android Auto app. I thought you were going to say something about the press limitation or desire for more apps.
I'm not sure if the connection issues are because of Hyundai or android auto. I have found that you have to wait for Bluetooth to connect before plugging your phone in.
The USB port not outputting enough power is the fault of Hyundai. I actually just submitted an email to their corporate about it, but I'm not sure how much good that will do.

Yea I didn't think that an app hack would resolve the charge problem. The true reason is the lack of apps and features. I hate when software is artificially limited.
Have you tried a Y cable for the power issue?

I agree, I really wish there was a local music app designed for Android Auto, but there isn't one yet.
I'm actually using a y cable now, but it hasn't helped. I thought it was, but I just went on a 4.5 hour road trip and I had to stop after 3.5 to charge my phone with a 12 volt adapter. Granted, I started the trip with my phone at 60%, but still, it should charge via USB.
I received a response from Hyundai about the USB port and this is what they said:
"The usb port you refer to is working as designed. The only time your phone will charge when connected is when the phone is idle. The port was not designed to charge your phone while connected. Just a reminder that your phone needs to have a minimum of 30% battery life to operate Android Auto."
Not very helpful, and they don't seem to care.

I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with Android Auto and I had very flaky connection problems when connecting my phone. My phone is the LG G4. What I can tell you is since my phone has been upgraded to Android 6.0 the connection has been flawless and very quick. I stopped using Android Auto because the connection was such a pain but since Android 6.0 I use it all the time now.

I also have a 2016 Sonata. One thing I have found that helps is to use the key fob to unlock your car as you are walking up. Do it about as far away as it'll reach. That gets the car's computer to start booting. It then is more reliable bringing up android auto. Most of the cases where I have not had it connect have been when I plug in the phone before the car is fully booted. I also second the comment about the USB cable. I was using a fairly thin one off my Note 5 charger and the phone would drain while using. I bought a 3' cable off monoprice.com and now the phone slowly gains charge.
Hi,
My car is not able to connect to Note 9 via MirrorLink. I used Galaxy A5 in the past with the same car. So I assume it's not a car issue.
Once MirrorLink is selected on car Media system, it tries to connect to my phone and even launches SkodaApp (but on the phone screen.. not car multimedia system) and immedately quits with an error that phone doesn't support MirrorLink.
MAybe something's missing in the phone. Any ideas?
AndroidAuto runs perfectly with Note9+Skoda. But not MirrorLink
Thanks

My Subaru has MirrorLink, but it doesn't work correctly either. Message board says MirrorLink is not backwards compatible with older versions... So, the Note 9 version (1.4) is "too new" for older vehicles. People have downgraded the app (not sure how, really), and it connects. Maybe this is why...

Yeah, I have Samsung's MirrorLink app disabled, otherwise when I charge my phone from the USB port, it locks up.
And, I just tried to sideload an older version, but it won't (yes, sideloading is enabled). Of course, no reason why is given.
But, it's just an experiment for me. MirrorLink isn't well supported, not a lot of apps. I'd rather have Android Auto (which the 2018 Forester DOESN'T support either... :silly.

Regarding side loading, you may need to use App Cloner. It will sign the APK differently so you're essentially running another instance of the cloned app, instead of replacing the original app. In my experience, very few Samsung app you can side load with the newer phones.

After few experiments it started working for me.
Looks like Samsung Car Mode must be installed for other MirrorLink apps to work. I've read somewhere that at least one MirrorLink certified app must be installed. Not sure what Certified means because apps like Skoda One App are also certified.
Anyway - problem solved. Both Android Auto and MirrorLink is working. Both are useless* for me but at least both are working if I'll need a show off for my friends
*Useless because I can't use assistant apps (EN is not my native), Waze looks poor and blured on car screen etc.
Hey there
so i saw this app called T Link the other day being used by someone that claimed to bring wireless carplay to every Android Head Unit.
Does this app work? I tried it out myself and i keep gettings errors but no connection.
Does the app need Root Acces maybe?
Link to the app. The only thing I find is a screen mirroring app with bad reviews, specific to JVC headunits, which uses a USB connection, and has nothing to do with either Carplay or Android Auto.
First, if it provides Carplay capability to an AA headunit, it would run on an iPhone (IOS), not Android. Second, if a headunit doesn't support wireless AA, no app is going to allow a Carplay device to connect to it wirelessly, so "every Android Head Unit" - nope.
Seems you're missing something here.

Hi. I dont know about apple product but as far as an android user the T-link app provides for me wireless AA without fail.
Have not once experienced a dropout of connection loss or anything.
Only issue is what is an AA issue, and thats maps not being able to switch day/night mode by itself

The Tlink app is installed on ur android headunit. It connects your phone, either android or Ios to AA.
So he is actually spot on in his discovery

Hey guys thanks for the help but I think the problem that I am having is a different one now.
So my headhunt does not support Apple CarPlay from the start.
I bought a adapter and tried to install the app that It comes with but nothing… no signal.
So the issue seams so be that there is not enough power coming out of the USB port.
When I use a splitter and plug the end for power into the lighter usb charger and the data one into the usb dongle it works no problem but it looks ****ty …
Any way or any adapter that I can get this fixed with?
Btw the head unit charges my phone without the adapter for about 3 seconds and then it Just shuts off

Yes and no. Since you use the Tlink app to connect to AA. And that is installed on Head unit. Its not really a AA question, but related to that.
Since some need either Tlink or Zlink to connect to AA it might be more correct to move to a different thread than one thats about AA, but then again.
Im not a mod so not sure =)
But this is a different matter and not what was supposed to be the topic
Some with a bigger brain will surely help us out

I have seen someone talking about an adapter for this specific reason, but tbh you might wanna look in the headunit threads.
Tho if you google adapter for carplay there is quite a few hits, tho seems expensive.
Try and look in TS10 / Px6 head unit threads, there are some clever ppl there who is really helpfull
