Android auto wireless issues - Android Auto General

Just bought a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and a fold z phone. I can connect with usb, but not wireless. From what I can figure both are android auto wireless compatible. Auto is built into phone and auto is preinstslled I the truck. Any ideas?

What trim and options? Wireless AA only comes with some trims/options. Compare what you have with this chart.

Not sure how to navigate that chart

Did you activate wireless AA in the AA app in the options?

[Req] USB mouse

My Asus 1000HA's left click button has really gotten un responsive and it's a pain in the ass. [I turned on the mouspad click but that get's in the way, anyway] and since my g1 is always charging on it I figure why not make a usb mouse app?
My g1 is rooted with multi touch and it would be a very simple UI.
Right click, left click squares. then trackball or multi touch to scroll up or down. Figure that there would have to be software installed on my Notebook though, anyone think they could devolop this?
I know Gmote is similar but the fact it has to be on wifi really isn't very pratical for the g1's battery life.
How about using Gmote while the phones plugged in ? Seriously though, I'm sure it's possible as it's possible to tether, I see no reason it couldn't tether and send data. I doubt such an app currently exists, however.

Lol cause it takes a lot longer for the phone to charge while using wifi
And yea the g1's Sloth multi touch would be great to use for scrolling.
...why not just charge it on the wall after using your computer and turning wifi off

The point of the request is to turn my g1 into a mouse pad.
I don't need a mousepad to my wall.
And I don't use a wall mount charger anymore, I just charge my notebook from the wall and my g1 from my notebook which works out real well.

it was about not using wifi. gmote requires wifi...
he wants the g1 as a mousepad through usb. quite interesting idea, even if i have no solution.
It's a little staggering at the amount of people not reading before posting, understand I could go edit my OP to knock out these questions but still. Really?

And the bad part is that this is still the first page. But back to the topic this is an interesting idea.
you can use AndRemote, or PhoneMyPC, both work perfectly. I use PhoneMyPC personally so my G1 acts as a wireless keyboard and mouse.

It works over data. So 2g, 3g, or Wifi.

does it require software to be installed on the pc?
do you think it could be possible to have an app that connects
via bluetooth?
my goal is to make my phone a wireless bluetooth keyboard for my PS3
ive seen it done on windows mobile.

It requires software running on the PC.
However, you can try:
mkRemote
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-devbury-mkremote-zpA.aspx
BluetoothRemote
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-stickycoding-bluetoothremote-ptEw.aspx
Both are keyboard, and mouse/keyboard apps that operate over bluetooth. I don't know how they work with a PS3 tho.
wow, i just tried out phonemypc.
this is exactly what i was looking for.
so awesome

2016 Hyundai Sonata?

Just got a 2016 Hyundai Sonata and am pretty disappointed with Android Auto.
Are there any tweaksn/root for this system or anyway to use other apps with it?

What problems do you have with it (just curious)? There are no mods that I'm aware of, we just have to use what they gave us. If it's an app that's bothersome, contact the dev. and ask them to make changes.
Unfortunately, there is a very small percentage of Android users that have Android Auto so devs are probably not that motivated to tweak it.

When I plug my phone in to it some times it connects some times i does not, if I leave usb debugging enabled I get a random reboot, random apps not working, the lag, seems to use much more power than the USB port can put out. This happens with a rooted G4 and a stock note 4.
It's hard to find anything useful information about this cars system.

Ah, I'm experiencing the same issues, and I don't think they can be remedied by a hacked Android Auto app. I thought you were going to say something about the press limitation or desire for more apps.
I'm not sure if the connection issues are because of Hyundai or android auto. I have found that you have to wait for Bluetooth to connect before plugging your phone in.
The USB port not outputting enough power is the fault of Hyundai. I actually just submitted an email to their corporate about it, but I'm not sure how much good that will do.

Yea I didn't think that an app hack would resolve the charge problem. The true reason is the lack of apps and features. I hate when software is artificially limited.
Have you tried a Y cable for the power issue?

I agree, I really wish there was a local music app designed for Android Auto, but there isn't one yet.
I'm actually using a y cable now, but it hasn't helped. I thought it was, but I just went on a 4.5 hour road trip and I had to stop after 3.5 to charge my phone with a 12 volt adapter. Granted, I started the trip with my phone at 60%, but still, it should charge via USB.
I received a response from Hyundai about the USB port and this is what they said:
"The usb port you refer to is working as designed. The only time your phone will charge when connected is when the phone is idle. The port was not designed to charge your phone while connected. Just a reminder that your phone needs to have a minimum of 30% battery life to operate Android Auto."
Not very helpful, and they don't seem to care.

No problems here with Android Auto on 2015 Sonata Eco. I'm using both a Samsung S6E and Nexus 5X. Be sure to high quality cables.

I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with Android Auto and I had very flaky connection problems when connecting my phone. My phone is the LG G4. What I can tell you is since my phone has been upgraded to Android 6.0 the connection has been flawless and very quick. I stopped using Android Auto because the connection was such a pain but since Android 6.0 I use it all the time now.

Thanks for your input! Looking forward to February when the Note 4 is updated to 6.0!

I just got the 5.1.1 update on my Verizon Note 4 and I'm happy to report that connection is much better! It usually connects on the first or second try now.

I also have a 2016 Sonata. One thing I have found that helps is to use the key fob to unlock your car as you are walking up. Do it about as far away as it'll reach. That gets the car's computer to start booting. It then is more reliable bringing up android auto. Most of the cases where I have not had it connect have been when I plug in the phone before the car is fully booted. I also second the comment about the USB cable. I was using a fairly thin one off my Note 5 charger and the phone would drain while using. I bought a 3' cable off monoprice.com and now the phone slowly gains charge.

wireless Android auto

I can't seem to find anything about this. A few threads about will it work with my phone and most answers are from people that don't know that it's even available. I have a oneplus 6 with the latest 9 build. Is it hardware related or software. Anyone who has any idea how this works and might know how to enable it I'd be stoked. I have a Kenwood DDX9905S that supports it and I updated it's software also.
In AA on your phone, is there a setting for "Enable Wireless Projection?" That needs to be on, and the phone has to initially connect and work with a USB connection, before wireless will work. After it's all set up, there's no need for the USB connection.

I work in a Skoda dealership we are doing training for a new car that's coming in the next two weeks and it will have Wireless Android Auto. I think the car will have to support it but I'm not sure yet until training takes place. Will update once I know next week.

Thanks for the info. My car stereo supports it I just don't think my phone does. And wonder what it would take to make it work.

As far as I know the car also has to support this, it will only be available on newer models or cars built after a certain week of this year.

Can't get Android Auto Wireless to work with my S20 FE 5G and Toyota Aygo 2019 [EU]

Hello.
I'm trying to configure my android auto so it works wirelessly. The wireless android auto is supported on Toyota Aygo 2018+, so I should be good here, and it's obviously supported on S20 FE 5G. The phone is connecting to my X-Touch without a problem, Android Auto is working flawlessly on USB, however when I simply launch the car it does not connect wirelessly. I updated android auto from apk mirror (it's not available in my country) and I tried enabling wireless projection, however when I turn the setting on in the developer options it does not appear on the list when I go back. I tried to reboot my phone just after I did that but it still didn't work.
Do you have any suggestions?

No, it isn't. Just plain old AA, not wireless. Wireless only very recently started appearing OEM in cars. In 2018 it would have required an aftermarket head unit, which began offering AA wireless support in summer 2018, not long after Google initially announced AA Wireless.

Android Auto / Apple Carplay via T Link app

Hey there
so i saw this app called T Link the other day being used by someone that claimed to bring wireless carplay to every Android Head Unit.
Does this app work? I tried it out myself and i keep gettings errors but no connection.
Does the app need Root Acces maybe?
Link to the app. The only thing I find is a screen mirroring app with bad reviews, specific to JVC headunits, which uses a USB connection, and has nothing to do with either Carplay or Android Auto.
First, if it provides Carplay capability to an AA headunit, it would run on an iPhone (IOS), not Android. Second, if a headunit doesn't support wireless AA, no app is going to allow a Carplay device to connect to it wirelessly, so "every Android Head Unit" - nope.
Seems you're missing something here.

Hi. I dont know about apple product but as far as an android user the T-link app provides for me wireless AA without fail.
Have not once experienced a dropout of connection loss or anything.
Only issue is what is an AA issue, and thats maps not being able to switch day/night mode by itself
Best regards
Using Tlink 1.7.7

The Tlink app is installed on ur android headunit. It connects your phone, either android or Ios to AA.
So he is actually spot on in his discovery
Best regards
Hey guys thanks for the help but I think the problem that I am having is a different one now.
So my headhunt does not support Apple CarPlay from the start.
I bought a adapter and tried to install the app that It comes with but nothing… no signal.
So the issue seams so be that there is not enough power coming out of the USB port.
When I use a splitter and plug the end for power into the lighter usb charger and the data one into the usb dongle it works no problem but it looks ****ty …
Any way or any adapter that I can get this fixed with?
Btw the head unit charges my phone without the adapter for about 3 seconds and then it Just shuts off

So, has nothing to do with Android Auto, where apps are not installed on the head unit. So, he's actually completely missed the mark for posting in the wrong forum.

Yes and no. Since you use the Tlink app to connect to AA. And that is installed on Head unit. Its not really a AA question, but related to that.
Since some need either Tlink or Zlink to connect to AA it might be more correct to move to a different thread than one thats about AA, but then again.
Im not a mod so not sure =)
But this is a different matter and not what was supposed to be the topic
Some with a bigger brain will surely help us out

I have seen someone talking about an adapter for this specific reason, but tbh you might wanna look in the headunit threads.
Tho if you google adapter for carplay there is quite a few hits, tho seems expensive.
Try and look in TS10 / Px6 head unit threads, there are some clever ppl there who is really helpfull
Best regards
