I have been getting random freezes with the Android Auto system app (current version, 6.6.612534) running on a Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro (sakura) with an Android 11 custom rom (CherishOS 2.6).
It connects very reliably (unlike previous versions) but there is still some instability in the connection. I had the same problem with earlier version of AA on other roms and on another A11 phone (with similar specs). With the earlier AA apk for the Android 9 stock rom (MIUI12), basic connection was always a big hassle but once connected it seemed more stable.
A freeze usually happens after a period of using Google Maps, with or without an audio app or messaging app. Then I get a random series of freezes. Unplugging the cable briefly reconnects it but it sometimes loses position in the audio app or on Google Maps.
UPDATE / SOLUTION:
I changed the rom tothe PE based OctaviOS 2.7 for sakura (Android 11) and replaced other media players with Fermata Media Player.
I also uninstalled the stand-alone AA apk, relying on the system app exclusively (i.e. with no app in the app drawer).
The Android Auto problem now seems to have been finally resolved! No freezes or glitches in the past 3 days and I can switch between apps on the Suzuki Vitara SLDA headunit without difficulty.
AA is really great when it works reliably. Hope this helps other AA sufferers / enthusiasts!

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 have a Seat Ibiza 2016 with built-in head unit (VW Full Link).
When I am using Android Auto, the infotainment system restarts from time to time.
The frequency of the restarts increase if I am listening music on Spotify or if I am going fast (faster updates on the Google Maps screen).
Usually, the music stutters first and after a while, the infotainment system restarts.
I tried using different phones and cables (Google Pixel with Android N and Samsung Galaxy Edge with Android M), testing with different versions of Android Auto and getting the infotainment system updated, but no avail, the issue still persists.
Do you know a solution for this issue?

Try updating the infotaiment, there are some firmware w w w. club seat leon . net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=118140&start=600#p1928908 It's a spanish forum
I strongly recommend you do NOT upgrade the Infotainment system.
It is very risky and you might end up not having your car for many months, and pay a bill of over 1,300 euro if you have any issue and need to take the car back to SEAT.
In my particular case, I updated mine recently and I had problems with the ACC/Front Assist. In the end they have had to replace the hardware of the unit 5F (infotainment) because the new firmware was causing issues.
The new firmwares are not "supported" by SEAT and if there are any infotainment system problems they will replace it altogether and you'll have to pay for the hardware, and 10+ hours of labour.
Hello i just got my new Mi 8 with Global rom Android 8.1 and Miui 9.6.3 and when i download app from Google Store they stuck/freeze after some mega bytes downloaded or even at 100%.
If i force close google play and restart it they resume the downloading and eventually finish. Anyway sometime it doesn't happen and apps are downloaded fine. I tested the connection downloading a large file over the browser and it's working fine, no interruptions.
I can't understand what is wrong.
- I cleaned google play cache and data files
- I logged out and loggged in to my google account
- i even factory reset the phone
but i can't solve this problem!
Maybe it is a problem that the bootloader unlocked doesn't let google play to give the certification of the phone?
Play Store version: 11.2.14-all [0][PR]207207134 Device not certified
well i finally SOLVED this issue, it was getting me crazy especially for the fact that when i am at work everything was working fine, and everytime i went home, bang! got the stuck issue!
So after many testing, a lot of reading i ended up that the problem was the bluetooth. If i turn off the bluetooth and restart the device no problem with google play. But after starting the bluetooth, downloading or installing apps freezes on google play store.
I tried to turn off just a bluetooth receiver i have at home (a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Receiver ) and again no problem to install any app. The bluetooth is working fine with other receiver (bluetooth speaker, phone, radio ecc.), so there is something bad just between the Mi8 and the Logitech receiver (even if they are not paired or connected) that makes the phone crazy when installing apps.
Hope this solution is helpful to anyone.
p.s.
this is the Logitech receiver i am talking about

I love you onesky. You are my héro. I was getting insane. I have install global stable, global dev, Xiaomi.eu stable, dev, ... and always the same problem you’ve described. I have the same Logitech receiver.
Thank you.
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
Hi everyone, enjoying my AA tremendously, overall it is running very very well with little hiccups. I have run into some issue when it comes to calls. When receiving or making calls the infotainment would sometimes use the car's dialer which would cause the system to freeze, other times it would use the AA dialer which runs perfectly. Is there any way to make AA's dialer run by default every time. Has anyone faced this issue?
