I use Screen2Auto on an unrooted phone which only seems to work on AA 6.4 or earlier.
Some people have commented that they are being forced to update AA to 6.5.
I had a notification that said something about a required update to AA. I tried to read it but it just took me to the AA update page in the PlayStore.
Are some people being forced to update AA?

I was forced to update now I'm trying to find a workaround.
Yes.
Do not proceed, un-install the latest update of Google Play Services.
If already installed the AA update, so remove the update of play services and re-install the old version of AA from April.
All good.
I uninstalled the latest update of Google Play Services and rolled back Android Auto to version 6.3, but Android Auto will not work unless you hit the update button.
it's not that I'm sitting here wearing a tin foil hat or anything.. but I think we should discuss workaround methods in private messages. Google obviously has some form of eyes watching these forums because everytime a workaround is discussed it magically gets patched not soon after.
Dear friend, you have news? ... I will have to take a long drive with my son. Can you help me?
forced to update..6.5.612134
Any work around?
So far, my Galaxy S7 (G930V) on Android 8 is still working with Android Auto 6.4.
I've gotten notifications that I will need to update soon but they haven't cut me off yet.

I also have a non-root Galaxy S7 (G930V) on Android 8. Uninstalled AA last year as I've been screen mirroring using USB to my BMW MMI (no touch screen). If I now install AA (6.5 from Play Store), then I won't be able to install S2A with AAAD at this point? Should I try to find and load AA 6.4 and attempt the S2A install or wait to see if they'll be an update to S2A and AAAD that works with AA 6.5?

I was incorrect about the Android Auto version on my non-rooted G930V. I'm actually on version 6.3.611324.
I couldn't get my phone to work with AAAD. I installed S2A using ADB per the Automatic method instructions on the inceptive.ru website:

Hello all,
My workaround for force update is
You need to Clear Data of Google play services app just before connecting to the car.

One question about this: does it download app data afterwards during your drive?
Additional question: can you also clear data and cache after being connected to Android Auto? I would prefer a Tasker task to do this for me. The idea is to clear data and cache as soon as I get connected to Android Auto.

Is your tinfoil hat borken? If so, just use the AM/FM radio or cassette player. If you want "free" from Google, you have to pay. Seriously, they make money by trying to target advertising at you.
What do you want to say me?
Tasker is an app which can automize things. For example it can automize the clearing of cache and data.
I wanted to clear data and cache automated so that I don't have to do all the clicks by myself.
I just want to know if I have to program the task to clear data and cache every day or everytime I connect to Android Auto...

I'm using Android Auto on my mobile phone, only. I don't have an Android Auto car unit. So, when I run Android Auto I can only use Google Maps, not Waze.

So I'm looking for an unofficial way to do it.

You lose waze voice commands if you run it through aa. Waze aa is more limited due to the driver centric rules google has for aa apps.

Maybe it's a bit late, but if you install Waze 4.37.0.3 beta from apkmirror (h t t p s : / / bit.ly / 2ksFskg ) it works on phone with Android Auto.
Bit late here, but I've found that if you open android auto then tell it to look for compatible apps you can go to the play store and load waze from in there then go back to android auto and have it recognize it.

Use HeadUnit Reloaded on your phone and you will be able to run Waze inside AA.

Thank you so much! This worked right away, and now I can finally start using AA again.
I installed the latest Waze beta (4.41.0) on my Galaxy S9+ running Oreo. I didn't do anything with AA, and it recognized Waze as an option the first time I ran it after installing the beta. I just wish I had found this sooner.

I have wanted to move from my regular android head unit to Android Auto for a while, but some of my favorite things to listen to while driving to work don't have regular podcasts. So I have to watch them on YouTube. If anyone has used this, please let me know if it is working well. I really want to get a higher quality head unit, and this would definitely motivate me to do it. Here is a link to a video example of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AjJW0H93Y
http://www.thekirankumar.com/blog/
Yes it is working perfectly fine. I've just recently started using it. It also has inbuilt internet browser and u can also watch videos from your device's internal or sd storage. But i prefer using AnyAutoAudio app while driving because its much safer as it plays youtube on the background n u dont get distracted by the video too

You can downgrade the Google Play Service to 12.21.
It works. And also using Android Auto v2.95
But I choose mirroring app Android Auto over the carstream.

If you have no root, then you have to re-install the GPS every time its update.
If not, then you won't get the app working.
If you're rooted user, then you can use the lucky patcher in my case and searching for update in GPS and then disable the package.
In my case, I used the following step below based on my experienced:
1. Open LuckyPatcher
2. Tap search box
3. Search for Google Play Services
4. Tap the Google Play Services
5. Choose Menu of Patches then click Yes.
6. Choose change the app components
7. Tap the disable components 'pm disable' method in the first row
8. Then search for update and you can disable:
com.google.android .gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity (in tab Activities)
com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingUpdateReceiver (In tab receiver)
com.google.android.lgms.update.SystemUpdateService
9. Just enjoy it! :good::good:
Already using this for months and no auto update for Google Play Services. But I'm using GPS 12.6.85 with the AA mirror and Android Auto 3.2.58 on rooted devices. And I'm not using the carstream again but using AA mirror and I can play youtube or even all of the apps on my phone in the head unit. FYI the carstream won't work in my version. I haven't tried it though.
Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!
Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any damage or loss caused by following those steps.
It's 2 weeks, I can't have any response from Google assistant on AA. The assistant is working fine without Android auto.
If I ask something for example a destination, it works, but no voice answer anyway.
So I can't have any info about Weather or calendar etc...
Does anyone have the same issue?
Already tried to reinstall AA, Google and Google Play services (delete cache and data)...but it does not help...
Xperia x compact Oreo
What happen?
Same problem hier - when the assistant is replying, the headunit mutes..
https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/2475001?hl=en
I think that MAYBE you are experiencing the same problem as I am.
If you manually trigger assistant in your phone by holding the middle icon/button and say a command like call someone it will display a screen asking you for activation. No matter how many times you activate it. It will deactivate again and you will have to do the same process again.
Or it can be the mute headunit bug. I think I have both.
The issue is on the AA app without car unit, too.
Just no answer after asking anything...no assistant voice at all..
But Google app works ok...
Same here. Oneplus 6t. Found other fora describing the problem too. We just have to wait for a fix I think...
same problem
Is Google working on it? This issue is known... what is it waiting for?

At first the routines also worked, but then never again. Now the wizard has been limited to a few commands in android auto.

Really strange that they managed to mess it up so badly. And apparantly no fix in the latest release.
Still don't understand if all phones have the same issue, or some model only
Having same problem too. No response, only a "blink" sound. The order works but no voice reply

I tried to send a whastapp msg and it works, but no reply when i ask about weather or travel to any place (directly opens navigation app after "blink")

Hello,
I have a Citroën C4 Picasso 2 with a 10'. screen but with Android Auto the bottom bar and icons are huge! I am looking for a way to reduce it (SQL or Xml or application?)
I used to use Extra aa with substratum but it doesn't work anymore.
I was told to check with the Odb2aa application but it does not exist anymore....
so I'm looking for a solution, even if in SQL or XML I don't care, I just want to reduce the size of the icons and the bar.
S8+ android custom minimal root.
Thanks in advance

Hello, thank you for your answer.
I don't need the wireless dongle, I have a dedicated tel in the car (for screen2auto)
Another idea that doesn't require a 100$ investment?
Okay I see , i wouldn't have any other suggestions besides maybe trying AA mirror or the plus version . I didn't think they were that expensive , I got mine relatively cheap . But I agree wouldn't want to spend 100 bucks on that .
Or perhaps reverting to a previous version of the app?
actually there is an updated version of obd2aa whihc might work with wired AA. Try to install it also maybe with King Installer or aaease. it should work theoretically if you dont have ColorOs. Xiaomi Os, etc kind of chinese SW

Hi,
I used ODB2AA to reduce the DPI, no need for Torque.
I just have a problem that I'm trying to fix, it doesn't connect every time
Odb2AA asks for permission to replace android auto.
Hi @Bladinium ,
but did you manage to modify the dpi to reduce the size of the bar?
What DPI parameter should be set to reduce?
Yes, i have Set 102 dpi with new coolwalk i have the bar in left. The result done Size bar +- 10px
ok, thanks, i will try that setup

I have changed the resolution to 720x800 which is the lowest available in my Samsung Fold2.This done in the Developer settings of Android Auto.Now I am getting Coolwalk.Also in my Nokia 6.1, I changed the Smallest Width in the Display Settings to the lowest and enabled Tablet Mode in the Developer settings.Now I can link the Nokia 6.1 with my primary phone in WhatsApp.
For the step :
Install AA
Install ODB2AA and parameter 102 dpi (for me)
On connect in car, u have choise "Android Auto" or "Odb2aa" select odb2aa.
the problem I have is that it only works once, after that I can't restart odb2aa, I have to remove the usb cable several times to hope that it will start again

Hi everyone,
I would like to go back to non coolwalk version of android auto.
I read that I should download 8.4. version. So I have downloaded respective .apk and the installation will never finish. It ends with error message that the package is not valid.
My samsung is arm64-v8a so I made sure to download the right version. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...auto-8-4-624304-release-android-apk-download/
So I decided to use ApkMirror Installer to see the exact reason why it fails and the error that I am getting now is that the package that I am trying to install is older that the one currently installed.
How should I proceed now? Any idea?
Thank you
J.
You need to uninstall the current version installed on your device, then install the downgraded version.
Yes, you will loose any current settings and you will have to redo them.

I feel very stupid now It worked.
Tested in my car and non coolwalk version is back now. Now I need to do the same with Waze as current version is not supported by non coolwalk AA.
I got CoolWalk in my Samsung Fold2.But in my Coolwalk screen in the car I am getting only 2 tiles namely Maps and Music.No weather or Phone tile.Why this?
Is this still working for you? I receive a message indicating the Android auto app must be updated. I think it's related to Google Play services app updating itself.

Above the Music Tile there is a partition where it shows notifications and other informations.Probably weather should also show there if it is activated in general customisation in AA Settings.
