Android auto incopatible phone

Hi folks,
i ve been experiencing Android auto connection issues.
Want to connect to Skoda car infotainment from my rooted htc one V(CM 12.1 - Lollipop 5.1), but unfortnatelly havent had luck so far.
Downloaded newest AA apk, but it won´t even let me start the app. So I tried the older version (1.2.084954_2166577-release) of AA with successfull start. However, the only thing I see is the initial screen(see attachment), nothing else. Even after USB connection the infotainment display gives me "not compatible USB" warning. Have tried all MTP, PTP and only charging connection modes.
Is there something Im doing wrong? Is there any other way I can get this running?
Cheers for all ideas and comments.

I am almost in same situation!

Android Auto and Xiaomi phones

When I connect my Xiaomi MI-5 (MIUI 7, based on Android 6.0) to my Volkswagen Golf, Android Auto does not start.
The car does not recognize the phone and vice versa. I gave Android Auto and Play Services all permissions and even switched the permissions manager off.
My Nexus 5 worked fine, so this is probably a general problem of MIUI.
Anyone any idea what I could try to get it working?
Thanks!

Try changing USB modes.
Try enabling or disabling USB debugging in developer settings.

Yes, I tried all 3 USB modes. And I also tried enabling/disabling USB debugging. No change. It simply does nothing, when I connect it.

I was at the car dealer to change tires and after that, the car navigation had to rescan the navigation data on the SD card, so maybe they rebooted the car headunit. It still shows the same software version though.
Also, I updated my Mi 5 to China developer 6-4-7.
And now Android Auto works!
It prompts always on the phone, if I want to "start Android Auto when that USB device is connected" and if I do not fast enough say "yes", then the headunit gives up and I have to manually initiate Android Auto there. That dialog on the Mi 5 has a "remember" option, but it does not remember.
Other than that, everything seems to work fine now.
So, I don't know if it was the headunit reset or the update to the current MIUI version.

That's screwed up. If you don't mind answering a few queries?
Are you able to use "OK Google..." now?
Do you get the message "Please unlock your phone to use voice commands in Android Auto"?
If not please do share what or how you solved the issue?
Whats your current MIUI version?
Have you updated to MIUI 8?

Huawei p20 pro android auto

Hi all
I have a question regarding the p20 pro and android auto. Whenever I connect the phone it automatically switches from file transfer to charge only in the usb setting. I've tried enabling developer options-turn on USB debugging and changing the usb settings in developer options to MTP. Nothing helps. As soon as I connect the phone, it reverts back to charge only. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Try turning on Bluetooth. Works for me.

I have a Huawei p20 pro and waiting for a car with Android Auto.
Someone told me he is able to use Android Auto on the same car with a Samsung Note 9 with no cable!
However i do not intend to change the brand. Anyone managed to do it?
The spotify opens and works with no cable but that is it all

Did you check this setting? It should set the default: Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Select USB configuration
Does it actually affect any AA functionality? I don't remember using File Transfer with AA and everything worked great.

I don't think AA supports wireless functionality right now, maybe he talks about music apps.

I asked and he says maps are working. Some mirror thing. And no root

Question Android Auto problem

Hello, very good day.
I have a Mi 11 ultra Global but since I bought it I have not been able to connect it to android auto, it seems to be a problem with the cable or with the usb input of my xiaomi (video attached) but I tried with another device with the same cable and it works , I tried the usb input of my device with miui extended setting app and it shows stable "usb connected".
I tried with the original usb cable, delete data, updates from google and the android auto app.
Does anyone have this problem or something similar that can help me with the solution?
I am currently on the latest beta version of EU ROM

Thanks for your answer, when I made this post I had already read those 2 posts but my last option was to buy another cable.
And that solved the problem! I actually needed a better cable for this phone, I tried with a p30 lite and p40 pro and android auto worked well with my old cable and the xiaomi did not.
Thank you again for your answer and the issue is already resolved, I recommend the ANKER 3.1 gen 2 cable

Xiaomi 12T Pro - problem with wireless connection to Android Auto

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Xiaomi 12T Pro and Android Auto. I've been using Android Auto wirelessly via Bluetooth on my KIA CEED 2023 MY(wireless support) for the past three weeks without any issues. I even updated my phone to Android 13 and MIUI 14 about 2 weeks ago, and everything still worked fine.
However, couple days ago when I was driving my car, Android Auto suddenly stopped working during my drive. Since then, I've tried factory reset of my KIA infotainment system, network setting reset, unpairing and repairing Bluetooth, and even installing the latest version of the AA mirror apk. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the current version of AA from Google Play, but I still can't connect to Android Auto wirelessly and the only error message is during the attempt of connecting: "The phone is not responding. Try it again".
The connection with a cable works fine. I tried 3 other phones on my car - all work. I tried to connect my Xiaomi 12T Pro to a different car and I have the same problem as on my Kia.
Even Android Auto support seems to be helpless. I shared with them a bug report, tried some suggested setups, but nothing works..
Does anybody have any ideas or have same experience?

Hello, the same thing happens to me with the carplay of my mercedes benz. And driving seems to disconnect my Xiaomi 12T PRO. I still don't have a solution from the manufacturer Xiami or the manufacturer of the carplay module. Is there anyone who can help us?

First of all, make sure you have the latest available firmware for your headunit. I don't know where you live but in some regions the Kia and Hyundai headunits can be upgraded by using the Kia Navigation Update application and a spare USB thumbdrive.
This said, I've had similar issues in a Kia Rio when using Android Auto wirelessly:
* Make sure the hour and date are set correctly in your headunit. Sometimes the headunit craps itself while trying to get the GPS hour and it sets incorrectly, wich causes conectivity issues with Android Auto
* Make sure your phone is not connected to any other bluetooth device before connecting to the headunit. I have a couple Xiaomi phones and neither of them is able to use Wireless Android Auto if they're connected to a wireless headphones, a laptop or a smartwatch. I don't understand why this happens but only happens with Xiaomi phones.
* MIUI has a battery optimization feature wich kills some apps and background services to save energy. Even if you disable it for some of your apps, sometimes a MIUI update will override this and cause problems. Make sure Android Auto, Google Maps, your music app and your messaging apps are excluded from the battery saver features, and make sure Google Maps has the location permission set to "all the time".
* Unpair your phone from the headunit and sync it again.
* Go to Android Auto settings (in your phone) and make sure that Wireless Android Auto toggle is enabled. Disable the Android Auto's developer mode if it's enabled.
* Factory reset the headunit and try to sync your phone again. The first time you sync the phone, do it with the USB cable.

Turn off power saving settings clear cache when locked & disable mobile data when locked
then Check battery saving settings for android auto app and system service. Also turn off miui memory optimization, just because. It always fcks up background processes at little gain to the user.
Edit: apparently most of these settings are gone in MIUI14.0.5 global rom/Android 13

Thanks for your advice guys. Meantime, I did a factory reset, and since then everything works fine.

ALas its a miui bug known since ages. If the device for whatever reason losses connection to the mobile network the devs somehow made sure the device disconnnects any Wifi connection. Hence AA stopping working.
Want to test tthis?
Simply deactivate mobile data on your phone and activate it again.
