Android auto doesnt work on my mi a 2

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.

P30Pro and Android Auto

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?

Android Auto not detecting Xiaomi Mi 6 with MIUI Global 11.0.3 (Android 9)

Hi all,
I've just bought a new car and its Android Auto doesn't detect my Xiaomi Mi 6.
I'm running MIUI Global 11.0.3 on Android 9 with Android Auto 4.8.594324.
I connect the original USB cable to the right USB port but nothing happens, both on car and phone. It just starts recharging.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Android Auto on my phone and resetting car infotainment to factory settings but it didn't help.
I've enable Debug USB under Developer Options but it has been useless.
I've given to Android Auto all permissions: autostart, no battery restrictions and access to everything.
I have no cloned apps or cloned accounts.
The smartphone is already connected to the car via bluetooth and the connection works fine.
I know that I should try factory resetting my Xiaomi Mi 6 but I just did it for another reason and it's a pain in the neck.
Is there something else I could try?
Should I try cleaning Google Services cache? Maybe some other service caches?
Is there a custom ROM I could try? Something similar to MIUI or to Android One which is certified to work with Android Auto?
Thanks!

Regarding custom ROMs I found out there are several ones: https://www.getdroidtips.com/list-best-custom-rom-xiaomi-mi-6/
I could try LineageOS, I used to use CyanogenMod back in the days.
I've also found this that should allow me to install an Android Auto Development Head Unit on my PC so I can test if my smartphone is getting recognized, without needing to be in my car.
But I would really love some advices from you, guys, because these are all time-consuming activities I would like to avoid.
Thank you!

Weird, running latest Miui 11 on my Poco F1 and works perfectly in my VW Golf. You've done the correct things to put the program to autostart etc .
The time I tried a custom rom Android Auto was an issue and I immediately went back to MIUI.
Couple of things first. Can you try with another phone? Can you try with a different USB cable? I once had an issue with a cable I used.

That's really weird.
Today I tried with a Huawei Mate 10 Pro from a colleague and it immediately worked fine.
I'm trying with the Xiaomi original USB cable but I've also tried with another good cable from Anker, I have only another one left, I'll try that too.
Anyway, my colleague's phone has been detected when connected with the same cable, so I don't think it's the cable.
When I connect the smartphone to a PC or to Android Auto, using an USB cable, shouldn't the phone pop a notification from which you choose what to do? Recharge only, MTP, PTP, USB mass storage or similar?
I don't have it.

OK, so it's not the car radio or probably not the USB cable. Which car is it actually?
Mine asks for charge, ... ... yup the 3 things when connecting, but not sure if it is the same case if you switch on usb developer options. Does it go into charge if you plug it in?
Do the options show up if you connect it to your pc?
If you start Android Auto (lets call it AA) on the phone and go to -> settings -> connected cars ... does it show anything? or is 'add new cars to AA' switched to 'on'?
Not sure if AA works in safe mode. From what I've read on the internet
-Press the power button till we get pop-up window.
-Then press the restart untill you get a popup to boot in safe mode.
-A restart will take take and your phone will be in safe mode.
There are some emulators on Windows and I use a raspberry pi if I need to play and don't want to go to the car all the time which might make it easier to get it running.
I know 1000 things and it can drive you crazy.

The car is a Skoda Karoq from 2019.
The smartphone correctly starts recharging when connected to USB.
When connecting, the three options don't show up. I've tried connecting it to a Windows PC and to a Linux PC, same results.
Doing this test on Windows, I've noticed I'm having issues connecting the phone to a PC and I'm receiving an error "USB device not recognised":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
I think this could be the root cause of my AA connection problem.
I've replaced the Xiaomi Mi 6 USB port few months ago, since it was broken, and maybe the new one is unable to bring up a data transfer.
I'll try to reset my smartphone to factory reset to see if it's a software glitch but now I'm pretty sure it's an hardware one.

Good advice, I wasn't aware of that!
I'll keep that in mind.

No, unfortunately it doesn't show anything. Add new cars to AA is on.
I'll let you know how it goes with the USB connection to PC test!

Skoda Karoq, nice, probably the same unit as in my VW.
Well I guess you found your issue. No data via pc will also be a no go for AA since the data of the screen etc also seems to go through the USB interface.
A thing you could try, try to put the phone into fastboot. Normally you will need other drivers .... but I'm afraid it will be the port itself which is broken or not communicating like it should.
Does it even fast charge? Normally a charger negotiates via the data lines what the output will be (referring to QC modes etc)
Seems you are techie enough to get a charge doctor / usb tester on like aliexpress for a couple of euro which will show more.

Trying in Fastboot is a good idea but I think you're right when you're saying it's the port iself.
I fixed this Mi 6 myself, since the USB port was broken, I opened it, replaced USB port and battery and glued it back.
The phone recharges itself correctly and fast but I rarely connect it to my PC so the new USB connector has probably had this malfunction since I installed it, but I never noticed before.

I didn't knew these things even existed! :laugh:
Anyway, I think I'll quit testing and I'll buy a new phone, since I don't have time and will to fix this Xiaomi Mi 6 another time.
I'll probably buy a Xiaomi Mi 9T or a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro.
Just to track everything, before finding out the hardware problem, I did some other useless tests:
I've enabled Debug USB under Developers Options;
I've uninstalled and reinstalled AA a couple of times, also deleting all its data;
I've tried with another third USB C cable;
I've uninstalled Car Home Ultra I was keeping on my phone as a backup for AA;
I've uninstalled Battery Widget 2019 Pro, just to understand if he was messing with USB connection.
Thanks lukesan for helping me with tests and pointing me in the right direction.
I'll come back here and let you know how this ends, when I'll have a new phone

You're welcome. And if the new phone also doesn't work swap the car too. . I personally would go for the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro but that is me.
As per my advice buy one of those USB measure things. I highly recommend this RD UM34 or the C version. For 14 euro It has saved me a lot to take the guessing out of most things. I just had someone wanting to throw out her tablet since it doesn't charge anymore. 4 years old. It's just a cable issue, the battery and charger are fine.
Want to measure the capacity of the battery. No worries. let it charge from 0 to 100% and check how many mWh went into it. You can also check the QC rates and voltages on the D+ and D- lines or how good or bad cables are.

That's also my favourite so far, for the better and faster CPU, but I don't want to pay 100 euros more than the Mi 9T only for that.
I'll keep an eye at discounts on GearBest and Banggood.

I'll definitively buy one in my next AliExpress or GearBest order, maybe when I'll buy the phone

Hi @lukesan, hi all,
here I am again. I can confirm it was an hardware issue. The USB connector in my Xiaomi Mi 6 was faulty.
I've eventually bought a new Xiaomi Mi 9T (regular, not Pro) and it's working fine.
It has been immediately detected the first time I connected it, without any particular configuration and with the same cable I was using before.
I'm just having a minor, but annoying, issue: Android Auto randomly disconnects itself during the drive.
Sometimes it doesn't disconnect at all, more often it disconnects one or two times in a 30 minutes ride and seldom it disconnects every 5 minutes.
I've already uninstalled and re-installed Android Auto on my phone, I've given all possible permissions to it, including Auto Start, and I've disable MIUI battery optimization.
I'm using Android Auto 4.9.594934 on MIUI Global 11.0.3.
Any ideas on this issue?
I'm using a brand new short cable (10 cm) from MYLBOO (USB Type C Cable 5A,USB C Cable 5A,MYLBOO High Speed Charging & Data Transfer USB 3.0 Type C Charging Cable for Samsung Galaxy S9 S8 Note 8, LG, Huawei，Sony,and others USB Type-C supported devi (0.1m) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KZZW155/) but since today I'm trying with the original Xiaomi recharge cable, which is uncomfortable because it's too long and doesn't fit the phone box of my car.
I've already done some researches and I see people is solving similar issues with Anker Powerline+ cables (like this Anker Powerline+ USB C to USB A Fast Charging Cable, for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 / S8 / S8+ / S9 /S10, Sony XZ, LG V20 / G5 / G6, Xiaomi 5 and More (3ft) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071G5WSK2), so in case I'll try one of those, but they're also too long for my car.
They're talking about that in this thread: https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/13722361
I've also found this Android Auto FAQ which could be useful for anyone who's reading: [FAQ] Can’t connect or stay connected - How to diagnose/address the issue - https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/2467281
I'll try to come back here to write how this ends, too.
Thank you again for your help, lukesan!

No worries man, glad you finally have AA in the car. Sure that Mi9 T is more than fast enough!
I had the same issues and it is both annoying as it is dangerous. Probably it's the cable. (lol check the reviews on your link)
I have some sh*t cables that (seemingly, you guess what I recommended to measure the current) that charge ok but still slower than other good cables and disconnect randomly in the car. Coincidentally the 2 cables that I know for a fact that I have issues with are braided cables (you know the ones with the cloth around them). They were cheap and there is no brand name on them.
The cables I now use everywhere are from Orico or Ugreen which you can buy for really cheap on Aliexpress (but have to wait for a couple of weeks, hint: check shipping options and for 1 or 2 euro more take the registered or alie standard one). I always buy spare cables in all length variations and I tend to have spares at my work and in the car.
I even have a 3 meter long cable which still charges full speed and is ideal when I travel and stay in hotels. Check the reviews and variation of cables. (saw a 25cm Ugreen one while doing a quick look)
That Anker is also a very good brand but unfortunately for you a bit on the long side for use in the car. Btw : Their chargers are also very good

Hi @lukesan, hi mate,
I've ended up buying a short UGreen 90 degrees cable, as you suggested, and it's working great!
It's this one, 50 cm (1.5 ft): UGREEN USB C Right Angle Cable 90 Degree Type C Fast Charger Compatible for Samsung Galaxy S10 S10E S9 S8 Plus Note 9 8, LG G8 G7 V20 V40 V30 G6 G5, Nintendo Switch, GoPro Hero 7 8 5 6 (1.5ft) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PFHB3R4/
The only issue is that the 90 degree angle is in the wrong direction and the cable gets pressed against the border of my phone box, so I don't think it will last as long as it would have (but that's my usual luck):
I'll probably buy a couple of spares of the same cable.
A friend of mine also suggested me this cheap cable he's using on his Kia Stonic: 4A Reload 25CM USB 3.1 Type-C Quick Sync Cable for Game OnePlus 6T / 5T - Red 25cm - https://it.gearbest.com/chargers-ca...=1433363&_branch_match_id=743761025176719207#
I'll probably buy a couple of them too, since they can be oriented in both directions.
So, I think I've solved all my AA issues!
Thank you very much again for your help!

Question Android Auto not working

Anyone else not having any luck connecting to Android auto?
Vehicle is a 2020 Lotus Evora GT and my previous Huawei mate 20 Pro connects just fine. My S21 ultra on the other hand doesn't. Pretty annoying. Tried multiple cords no luck.

same here, my Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G device works fine with Android Auto, pretty strange.

No problem so far with 3 hyundai vehicles

I faced similar issues and by changing 4th cable I got it working . Never faced any issue with my NOTE 20 ultra earlier .

I installed a Kenwood Unit in my car that has Wireless and USB connections for Android Auto. Both are working fine with my S21 Ultra. No Issues so far....

what's the make and model of the cable you used that works?

My 2 cents. This May not be relevent to your issue ,but I also was having problems
I have the samsung leather case.
Opening is too small to properly seat USB C cable( the plug shoulders make contact with case) I removed case and seated USB cable and it worked.
I again say this may not apply.

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.
