I've got the new AA interface, I just found sad that the shortcut to travel home and work aren't as easy as before. Mainly with the mazda 3 knob which is only used to zoom in and out of G.map.
Otherwhise, I found it force us to touch the screen more than before.
I was hoping to finally have the wireless AA working but it is still not working
Is there anybody with a Pixel 3 which have been able to have it working?
I'm using a pixel 2 xl, and had to manually enable the "wireless projection" option in Android auto settings before wireless mode would work. I've had no issues with it since doing that.

Has anyone downloaded android m preview and got android auto to work? I keep getting Bluetooth pairing error.
Worked on my Nexus 9.
That said, I only tested with my AA Headunit app, and haven't tried with my 4100-NEX yet.
And my app doesn't use the Bluetooth functionality, so BT could be broken.
AA will load on my 2015 Sonata, but Google Play music will not work. I can't speak for the rest of the system because that is all I tried and then just hooked back up the GS6 that works fine.
Tested my Nexus 9 w/ 4100-NEX:
It more or less works, but the Bluetooth pairing doesn't seem to work (and the HU popups make it unusable); it looks like it can't handle a PIN or whatever.
There is a new June 3 release of AA on Play, but it's not on APKMirror yet and those of us outside the US can't get it from Play.
The update allows connection after change USB connection in notification drawer to MTP but the UI has issues.
Used nexus 6 and 4100-nex
I recently purchased a new VW car and have been using Android Auto on the built in display. The first time I used it it all worked perfectly, since then it hasn't. My Android Auto no longer gives me notifications when I receive texts. And if they do show up on the home screen and I click the play button to read them, it shows the four dots as if its thinking but nothing happens and I have to cancel out of it.
Additionally, I've noticed that my bluetooth smart lock doesn't seem to be working at all. Every time I connect it asks if I want to add my car to my trusted devices. Each time I say yes but it NEVER seems to save it. It will then later sometimes prompt for permission to read my messages. To this I again say yes but it doesn't seem to make the message issue go away even after I do this. I am not sure if these two issues are related (I'm hoping they are).
Can anyone tell me why the hell my smart lock can't seem to register and remember my car? And why wont android auto read my messages properly? (Pixel XL. Phone calls and navigation all are working properly)
Same issue here
You have to give Android Auto all permissions it asks for at the first start. And be sure to use a very good cable. There are many USB C cables on market which are not fully supporting USB C features and the system do expect them.
I'm in the same situation with my VW Atlas. Problem is with both my Pixel (running Android O) and my wife's Nexus 6p (running Nougat). I have given it all permissions, including some that it didn't ask for. I also have been using the little 4 inch cord that came with the 6p, so the cable or its length should not be an issue. In addition to the above, my car also forgets its bluetooth pairings if I try to connect the AA cable before the bluetooth has connected. I've been learning to do that but sometimes I forget. It's got to be an issue with the VW software.
I have come across these issues myself in a Golf Mk7 both with a Motorola Droid Turbo and now with a Google Pixel 3 XL.
In the case of getting Android Auto to read/send messages where you just get the four dots bouncing up and down and doing nothing else, that's a setting with the Google Assistant app. Go into that app on your phone (the round G icon) and drill into settings and under Voice >> Voice Match, make sure "OK Google" detection is turned on. Even though you might not be actually using it, it has to be turned on for this to work. Totally lame and non-intuitive, but that's what fixed that for me.
As for the car falling out of your Smart Lock and for repeatedly prompting you for permission to access your text messages, I have only had this issue with AA in my VW and not in other cars, so it's a VW-specific issue and something to do with the bluetooth hardware. I do not have a fix for it but the workaround is you must have BT turned on on your phone first and let it connect fully to your car OUTSIDE of AA. Make sure at that point you permit text message access (if prompted) and check your Smart Lock and add your car to it if needed. Then going forward whenever you connect to your car you MUST let BT connect fully first before you plug in and fire up AA. It's unfortunate that you can't just plug in and go w/o waiting for BT first but that's the only way I've gotten this to work without re-prompting me for SMS access permissions and Smart Lock.
Good luck!
In Android Auto, When I'm listening some music from my phone and having G. Maps on the screen, there's always some lags in music when the map's moving (like in an higwith exit road)
I have a rooted Pixel 3 and a Mazda 3 2018 (Android Auto from MZD AIO)
I've seen in developper's options many options about bluetooth, what should be the best parameters?
Thanks!
I see the same thing when using my Chinese dongle on my android head unit. I've played around with developer settings in Android auto and the settings on the dongle and nothing seemed to help. It seems to be something low level in the dongle (in your case the head unit or mod app) that causes this where moving the map seems to overwhelm to the system.
Using the same headunit and phone but instead using Emils' head unit reloaded application I do not get any sound issues, even when running in 720p mode.
It seems like the issue we're seeing is more to do with the Android auto implementation in hardware/software.
Ok, I'll try it and see how it's going. Thanks
I have a Kenwood stereo that does wireless android auto, in fact it worked great with my pixel 3. I thought that phones with Pie were going to have wireless AA but I can't get it too work with my s10
Anyone get it to work??
I thought all Android Auto was tethered.

pie brought wireless AA too xenophobes if you have the right head unit. I upgraded to a Kenwood that has that feature and like I said it worked great with my pixel. Pie was supposed to bring it to non pixelnphones but it's not working for me.

Good to know. Wonder if my car will accept wireless.

I had an s8 that would auto connect to Android Auto....but now I have an s10e that won't auto connect....Any ideas??
Wireless AA is a power hog. You are basically running the WiFi like a hotspot non-stop, besides the navigation and whatnot (Spotify/Pandora).
If you want to be truly wireless, you better have a good Wireless Fast Charger in the car (and the phone to support it). Ah, and while wireless charging, the phone should be mounted in front of the AC vent, to cool off...
I think that only Pixel and Nexus phones are enabled for wireless AA (info as of March 2019), it's not all the Pie phones:

I've read on some forums that Android Auto does not support swiping and multitouch. I have Android Auto working on my headunit with a carplay / AA dongle, and it will only let me interact with it by using the arrow buttons at the top and bottom of the scroll bars, as well as using the + / - to interact with maps. Basicaly prodding the screen is the only way to do anything. Any sort of more "advanced" gesture like a swipe doesn't work.
Is this regular behaviour for Android Auto? I had a hire car last month that had AA and I could swipe and pinch to zoom on maps without any issue.
I'm wondering at the moment if this is the carplay dongle and whether headunit reloaded would offer a better experience.
Thanks for your advice.
So, to answer my own question and for anyone that may have similar issues, head unit reloaded on my unknown Chinese branded android car stereo works as expected. In fact it works great. Multitouch, swipe etc, all working.
Must be my carplay dongle that doesn't work correctly with android auto, though it was good for carplay.
