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?
Hi,
I used to be able to launch android auto on my galaxy s6 Skoda Fabia 2016. It also used to work with a galaxy s4.
About a month ago (or more), it stopped working:
When I connect the phone, AA is launched but the exists and the USB connection is reset. I can see in my task manager that AA is active in background.
I can connect with MirrorLink, but I rather use AA.
The car didn't go through any upgrades so I guess the blame is at AA.
I tried replacing USB cables, resetting the AA on my phone, changing USB connection from MTP to all other possible options... nothing helps.
Any ideas?
AA found that new version is available, but you are somehow frozen during inicialization.
Please provide following info:
1. AA version (go to Application Manager -> current is 1.6.281040
2. in Application manager press FORCE STOP for AA. If you have any cash data for AA, remove it
3. (OPTIONAL). IN skoda HeadUnit, go to settings -> Factory Reset -> Navigate to FUllink/SkodaLink/Whatever link and have reset of AA/Mirrorlink
4. check in mobile, that AA is not running. If yes, clear it from memory!
5. connect via USB, go to Headunit and launch Android Auto. You should go thru setup phase and everything should work.
Fast check if you need update of AA:
Launch AA application, if you see Update/Upgrade banner, you need to perform above. If you are unsure, create a screenshot and i can advise.

Thanks for the instructions but it didn't help
My AA version is 1.6.281040. No update\upgrade banner when I open the app.
I tried all of the above steps (force stop + clear data and cache + factory reset my car smartlink) but the result is the same:
When I try to connect the car- AA launches and immediately goes to the background and the connection fails.
Any other ideas?
How can I debug this?
questions
Hi,
1. before launching AA, is bluetooth on your phone activated and you are paired with Skoda HeadUnit? You should be able to make a call via HeadUnit with buttons on wheel/buttons on headunit. Working bluetooth connection is mandatory prereq for working AA yet (USB cable is just not enough)
2. USB cable - i have seen situations, when setup has been not working with long cable or chinese fake cable. Try to use short original factory cable 0.3m maximum from Samsung (should be white), this works
3. what ROM are you using? Its original rom from SAMSUNG? If yes, please indicate build number+version. If not, this may be problem as non-original rom doesn't support DPIchange yet.
4. You can enable devel mode. enable usb debugging on android side + in AA - follow http://www.androidexplained.com/android-auto-developer-mode/
5. do you see on mobile at least ANDROID AUTO label for second?
6. where are you located? S6 is oficially supported phone on SkodaHU, so you may also ask support from importer via dealer.
Hey,
over at the Mazda headunit project, with a opensource custom AA, there is problems too. It appears that a new version of "Google Play Services" broke AA.
Play services is a sort of API that broker things like GPS and USB for apps.
Last working version is 9.0.83. Your timeline fits with the issue of the affected versions. Please send a bug report to Google to get them to fix it : [email protected]

Bluetooth is working and connected to the car.
I tried several different USB cables (originals and non-originals) but none helped.
I'm using stock rom: 6.0.1 build number MMB29K.G920FXXU3DPEK
5. do you see on mobile at least ANDROID AUTO label for second? I see AA launches and then it moves to the background. I don't see the "Android auto" overlay that was usually there.
I'll try contacting Skoda representative but since nothing has changed in the car unit, I believe it's a software issue in the phone.

Sounds like my issue. I posted in the forum link.
After reading through he posts in @soulz link, I found a solution:
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/play/tflL2_GCj4s/Y5Ens5WxBwAJ
Basically, I disabled the following services:
ReschedulerUsingAlarmManager
ReschedulerUsingBroadcast
This needs root! but it works like a charm.
Now, all that's left to do is wait for Google to fix the play services issue.
Hello, everybody
Before I did the update to Android 9 on my Huawei P20 Pro, AA worked fine in combination with the Opel Intellink. Unfortunately, this has changed to a disadvantage since the update. As soon as I connect my mobile phone with the USB cable, the system asks me which USB option I want. So far so good.
But now it comes: As soon as I activate "Android Auto" in the Intellilink 4.0 settings, my phone crashes and tries to reboot. I already tried everything possible:
- other cable
- AA de- and newly installed
- Bluetooth newly paired
- USB debugging enabled (developer mode enabled)
- USB option set to MTP
- Wipe Cache partition performed
nothing helps.
Even if I don't have AA installed it crashes.
Does anyone have this phenomenon too?
Without activation this is not a problem. Bluetooth also works here.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions.
Greetings Finrok
Me too - solution please?
Same here. Working just fine before the update. Now whenever I connect the phone to the car via USB it crashed and reboots. Tried the same as above but I can't see a solution.. I've managed to get it working since by uninstalling and unpairing the device. Plugging it in and reconnecting. But as soon as I unplug and go again next time it crashes again and reboots as before.
Not an issue with the cable, cache or Bluetooth.
May also be worth noting, I also have a p20 pro. Brand new in November
Has anyone figured it out? Please!
Was it OTA update or one of the methods from the forum (eRocovery, OTG)?
Is factory reset an option for you?
Does Android auto work for anyone else?
I get no indication it's detecting it. I've tried the cable that came with and a third party
It works fine with a OnePlus 5
I'm on version 10.3.1

I am on xiaomi.eu ROM V11.0.3.0.QFKCNXM_v11-10 (Android 10) and my Andoid Auto is not working.
I tried:
- with installed APP "Android Auto" --> "no connection possible" shown on car display
- without APP --> RED error 8 on phone display
USB Debugging is enabled
Is it better with Android 10 not to install the APP as it should be built into system ?
What else could I try ?
Car: (Skoda fabia 2020, with swing smartlink) on MI9T Pro. Same error, 8. MIU 11, Android 10. Installed Android auto apk from apkmirror, but not showing up as icon. In car, always error 8, time/date. Did a softreboot of radio in car, meaning hold on/off for 10 seconds, after reboot it all worked and now reconnects without problem. Android auto apk from apkmirror I would not do again. Please also set USB debugging to on, have a feeling this is also a problem when off. Then lastly, make sure you have no dual apps, delete these as this is also a known problem.
Hi. I have managed to connect my Android radio with the Carlink accessory, but the Android Auto screen in my car is pixelated. The texts can hardly be read. What can be? Thank you
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.
