Hello, has anyone managed to get android auto wireless to work with android 11? I have new juke 2020 with WiFi integrated, but I I couldn't get it to work.
It's not enough to have wifi on your car, the infotainment system should also be ready for wireless AA. See here:

Hi,
Anyone has some information about Android Auto Wireless?
Pioneer presented the first AA wireless headunit 2 weeks ago.
I think VW Discover Pro MIB2 with latest FW can support AA wireless as there are some codings for this .
Is there an new version from AA for wireless support ?
There is no such option in the latest APK on play store
Interested about news and reviews on wireless Android auto units...I read all the news / press release and see few videos of the units but we have to wait until March / April for release...
I emailed Kenwood about theirs, but they just said they did not have a release date available yet
This looks legit.
Can someone with a Nexus or Pixel confirm this?

Looks like today's update from the play store has it.. if you don't see the update, you can get the latest version from apkmirror.

afaik the HU will require Wi-fi for wireless android auto.
I can confirm that the Discover Media MIB2 with Navigation (I have one in my 2017 Tiguan MK2) has Wifi built in, and the headunit coding does have options for both wireless Car Play and Wireless Android Auto. However, these are both SWaP (Software As Product) functions so need activation codes from VW to enable.
I have successfully enable WiFi on my head-unit, but there isn't much you can do with it since all the connected features require VW CarNet, which isn't available in New Zealand.
Currently using the jvc kw-m845bw that supports Wireless Android auto. Currently driving right now with the wireless Android auto working. It's a nice feature, but it would be much nicer if carstream worked on it.

Hi, @rester555
Could you please let me know, how phone and car are connected? Bluetooth or wi-fi? How AA is started? Are you starting manually?
So, wireless thing is new for me, that is why asking?
Thanks in advance.

@henno88 Sorry for the late post. So when I connect my car it seems to be handshaking on bluetooth and wifi when the head unit is connected. I think when I make calls it's connected to bluetooth, but when I activate Android Auto, it's connected via wifi. I am driving a 2013 ford focus with the JVC KW-M845BW. For my phone, I am using the Pixel 2 XL unlocked variant.

To everyone here. Carstream also allows you to play youtube videos on the Android Auto as well now with version 2.0.
Tried to apply "How To use Android Auto Wireless!" but is halted
Hi
Sorry if I mess threads and things up, but I don't know where to stage my question???
I have followed the instructions in xda video "How To use Android Auto Wireless!" on Youtube and I have a question on one of the stages.
At one point I get a screen where I can choose on "Toggle Wifi on Power" among other things, and the video doesn't tell me what to do. There are no OK button or equivalent.
I can't post a pic or link to pic while I'm new here.

Replying to an old post, I know, but has there been any development on using the Discover Media built-in WiFi with wireless Android Auto? I have enabled WiFi in my Mk7 Golf and find that it is similarly useless in Australia - can't even stream music. Wireless AA would be absolutely awesome.
after updating to oreo i'm not able to use android auto.
everything right now is at latest version.
android auto will not detect the headunit and add it as a "Car".
have tried multiple quality cables including oem samsung
the phone detects the connection and is charging, it also shows up as "data transfer" mode
bluetooth works fine, the spotifty function on the headunit will work if android auto is running on the phone however android auto will not mirror to the headunit while usb connected.
What version of Android Auto? Maybe downgrade back to 2.9.
Was 3.1 I will try 2.9
Thanks

2.9 didn't work either. and way to debug this?
I still can't get this to work.
pioneer wont help me, google wont help me.
I've reset my phone countless times.
any way to force AA to load on HU?
Was this ever solved? Not sure if these are related or not. I did not pay any attention to what version my S8+ was until now. Could it have taken ATT this long to upgrade my phone to Oreo?
Here is my story ...
I have Galaxy S8+ running 8.0.0. My Pioneer AVH-2330NEX is running firmware 8.35 dated July 2018. AA quit working after the Jan 2019 update to the phone. I get an "Andriod Auto stopped working" on the head unit. Here is the troubleshooting I have done so far.
I have tested the phone on a 2016 Honda factory head and all works. I have tested the Pioneer head with a friends old 1+1 (6.0.1 Cyaongen 13.1) and it works with the Pioneer.
But the S8+ and Pioneer do not.
Any thoughts?
Update to android pie solved all my problems with Android auto on pioneer avh z7100 dab
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.

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:

Does anyone know if a 2017 Buick Encore head unit will support wireless Android Auto? It has wifi...
My Galaxy S9 Android Auto has an option to enable wireless projection but it will not connect to the head unit.

Read the manual for your car. Look in the multimedia section in the characteristics of the head unit for support Android Auto Wireles. But I'm 99% sure that your car does not support.

Yes, I'm sure also that the head unit does not currently support wireless AA. I guess I'm wondering if a software/firmware update of the head unit from Buick could eventually enable wireless AA, or is that not how this works?
It's a difficult question. If head unit is built-in WiFi, then this can be solved with the new firmware. However, manufacturers are very reluctant to support media devices.

From that article it sounds like there's more involved than just a head unit firmware update. In particular, I believe my car only has a single band WiFi connection as I only get 2.4ghz and not 5ghz. If the article is accurate then that would mean there's no hope for my car. Bummer. Oh well...
Hi
Sorry these are probably stupid questions, but I'm having such a hard time finding answers for them.
Is Android Auto a proprietary system that only works with Google's software?
If I have a rooted LineageOS phone without Gapps, will I be able to connect my phone to a car with Android Auto?
Is Android Auto just an app that runs on a smartphone? Then I would guess I should be able to get any app to display on the car's screen? Based on search results I'm assuming that's not so easy, or maybe not possible at all. Then what's the technical limitation preventing me from displaying whatever I want on the head unit and getting input from it? Is there encryption involved?
Thanks in advance.
AA is a client-server app. The head unit of your car should be compatible with it, that is, it should be manufactured to support AA. From the phone's point of view, the AA app should be installed from Google Play store, if the OS is less or equal to Android 9, or it is built-in the OS from Android 10. I do not know if AA could work in your OS, but you can try. Download the AA apk from apkmirror and try installing it. If you do not have a car with an AA compatible head unit, then don't even think to try.
Not all apps in Google store are compatible with AA, they have to be built to work in AA.
In principle, what AA does, is mirroring your phone's display on your car's infotainment display.

Thanks. By client-server do you mean phone-car or phone-car-internet?
I'm less concerned right now whether I can get the apk working or not, and more whether I'll be able to develop on it in the future.
Is the Android Auto app open source? Where is the source code?
Basically what I'm asking is "Can I develop my own software to run on my phone and interact with the car's infotainment system without using any proprietary software?"
My car doesn't have Android Auto. I'm trying to decide whether my next car should have it, or whether it's going to be doomed to be obsolete 3 years after I buy it and I should just get an older model without Android Auto.
The client is your phone and the server is the head unit supporting AA. If internet is used by the apps, then you'll need an internet connection also, but AA itself does not require internet. The only thing it does is mirroring.
If your car does not support AA, then your only option is to replace / install the head unit with one that supports AA.
As far as I understand, AA is open source: https://source.android.com/devices/automotive/start/what_automotive
So you will be able to develop apps that will run on AA too. But you will still need the support on car's head unit. AA works wired (usb cable connecting your phone with the head unit) or, in the newly-released Android 11, wireless, provided that the head unit supports it. It should work wireless in Android 9 and 10 also, but only with certain Google or Samsung devices.

Hello,
I have the same situation: LineageOS (Android 11), no GApps, no google services, no Google Account, No Google playstore.
When I understand you right, I only need the Android Auto apk. (and of course some apps, that support Android Auto, like Mapfactor navigator, Spotify...)
The Android Auto app (which mirrors the GUI of my user app to the Cars display) doesnt need neither a mobile data connection nor any of the Googel services (google push and so on).
Can someone confirm this?
