Any Roms work with Android Auto?

I've tried three Roms (2 Oreo and 1 nougat) and I can't get Android Auto to work with any of them. Has anyone gotten Android Auto to work with any of the Roms available here?

It has worked well for me on the latest 7.1.2 Pure Nexus ROM. I am currently running AICP Oreo and it works great. It also worked on S.I.X. ROM Oreo and Republic of Madness Oreo ROMs for me.
What issues are you having?

Hi, I've been running Android Auto perfectly with Nitrogen OS until 2 weeks. Suddenly I can't connect my N6 correctly anymore. My car (Ford with SYNC system) tells that it can"t find Android Auto. I tried Stock version of N6 Nougat, S.I.X Oreo rom and same issue..
Could it be related to some app update (maps, google, AA,...) ?
Sometimes I get a red error screen from AA app telling me about "communication error code 17" but I can't find any reference about that anywhere.
any tip ?

Have you tried a different cable? I had to try 3 of them before it worked right to start with in my F150

some premium Anker cable fromage Amazon is supposed to arrive any Time soon but I have doubts because I already tried with different cables. What is your setup? AA, Google and maps version ?? Thanks

AA - 2.7.573953-release
Google - 7.15.19.21.arm
Waze - 4.32.0.2
I don't use google maps anymore now that Waze is available for AA.
One thing that may work is to delete your phone out of Sync and delete Sync out of your phone both under bluetooth and AA. Once you have them removed. Just plug the phone into sync and let it re-setup everything (I don't even pair bluetooth separately, I let AA do the bluetooth pairing).
What version # of Sync3 do you have?

AAuto works great on my N6 with LineageOS on my Kia Sportage. It's a brand new 2018 Kia purchased two days ago. One of the main reasons for that purchase was AAuto in the electronics package.

Try clearing data for AA and see if that helps.

Still can't get it to work in a 2017 Chevy Tahoe. I have now tried 4 different cords and I am currently on Six Oreo Rom. I know the head unit is compatible since I had it working with the pixel 2 xl during the brief time I had that phone.
Do I need to change any settings such as USB debugging? What setting should I set it to when I connect the cord (i.e. Transfer Files, etc)?

Try going into settings > six settings > Other > look for Enable MTP instead charging when connect to PC
Make sure that is UN-ticked. That will block AA from working for some reason.

Android Auto not working, Mi 9t Pro

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

android auto and android 10

I have a Galaxy S9+ using a sony head unit. Since the android 10 update most things dont work anymore. Samsung doesnt respond to questions and either does google. I would roll back to 9 but my bootloader is locked. Is there anyway around this ?

I ran into 2 problems after upgrading to Android 10 on my S10e.
1. I had second AA app installed (I think it was the one for phone display)
2. Adb debug has to be off
Also app settings are accessible only through Settings -> Apps -> AA -> In-app notifications settings

This is because AA is built-in into Android 10, it is part of the operating system, so there is no need for the AA app. Upgrading to Android 10 should automatically remove the AA apk used on Android 9.

I uninstalled the old aa app on my phone because i thought it was part of the os, restarted the phone and plugged it in my truck and it would not connect. The only way aa almost works is if you install the app on your phone.

As I said before, AA is built-in in Android 10, so there is no need for the apk. But you are right, there are still a lot of problems with AA on car's screen and Android 10. The fact that your phone does not connect to your car's infotainment system or that you are able to sometimes use AA after installing the apk, does not mean that it should be like this. I am sure that you sideloaded the apk because it shouldn't appear on your Play store after upgrading to Android 10.
I, for example, I refused to upgrade because of the many bugs I read about when using AA. I suffered enough (repeated connection problems), in the beginning, after upgrading my phone from the Note 8 with Android 8 to the Note 10+ with Android 9. I'm afraid that it is not possible to go back to Android 9, as far as I know. You'll have to stick with what you have and dig the internet to find possible solutions, because I'm sure there isn't yet a straight forward fix for your AA problem.

So i uninstalled AA from my phone and then restarted it. Then i backed it up with smart switch, i then did a factory reset. Then i did a clean install of 10 from Chimera. I restored my phone and plugged it into my truck. It proceeded to install AA and still not worth a damn lol. That was a good 3 hours not well spent. So now i will play no more until if ever a fix comes out. Thanks

Sorry to hear about all the trouble. Just keep searching the internet about your specific problem and configuration. If you still have your previous phone and if it still has a working AA, you could use it just in your car connected to your wifi hotspot from your Note 10. Also try a different cable, a shorter one (I use a 1 foot only cable), all my connection problems went away with this shorter cable bought on Aliexpress. Wish you luck!

I forgot to ask, did you try using AA with a wireless connection? If you have a new car, chances are that you could use wireless connection between your phone and the car. There is a setting in AA to enable this. Just set this switch on before trying to connect to the car's infotainment system.

@uhi711 what did you do to resolve the issues on note 10+
Since Samsung updated to android 10, my AA has not worked.
Cables are same that used to work on Android 9
Keeps disconnecting and reconnecting
Tried clear cache and data on AA
Reset the cars head unit
Used new cables, old cables, OEM cables same issues
Haven't tried a small cable, will try the charger cable that comes with Sony xm3 head phones

Unfortunately, I do not have a satisfactory answer for you. I just didn't upgrade my phone to Android 10, because of the many bug reports I read about. A long time ago, when I was using the Note 8 and Android 8, I had the same connection problems for a few months. Then, the only thing that helped me was using short (20-25 cm) quality cables, bought on Aliexpress. It might also be a coincidence, I'm not sure, because in the same time I changed cable after cable, Google also updated AA. As of now, I'm using the Note 10+ with Android 9 and the same short cable that I think it fixed my connection problem then, and I still don't have any problem. You'll just have to wait patiently for Google to fix the bugs.

Hi
I have Lineage OS 17.1 which is Android 10.
Should I install just "AA for phone" instead of normal AA ?
With "normal" AA installed is working, except for notifications that I don't get for any apps (Whatsapp, Telegram,...)
Thanks

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't know what is Lineage OS and how it works. What I do know is that there is no such a thing as different AA versions. There is only one kind of AA app downloadable from the Play store if you have Android 9 or less on your phone. If you have Android 10 installed on your phone, then you do not need the AA app and you won't be able to download it from the Play store, because it is already built-in in the OS (Android 10).

I had the same problem with my Note 9 with Android 10, it kept connecting and disconnecting. Restarting the phone worked for me.

The couple AA and Android 10 is known for a lot of bugs and connection problems.

Change DPI of Android auto

I wish to figure out if it's possible to change AA DPI when phone is connected to head unit.
With AA wireless, when you change DPI, it's possible to get a splitted screen, but i wish to know if it's possible to do it with a wired connection?
Regards

Would you be willing to share what setup/versions you're using that is working? It seems like OBD2AA isn't working on newer AA versions, at least for me anyways. I've spent way too much time on it as a project haha.
I've got a 2022 VW Golf R (MIB3) and have tried with a Pixel 6 Pro on A12L and a OnePlus 6T on A9. Every time I select OBD2AA when connecting to my car the head unit will bring up a black screen as though it's about to show AA, but just goes back to a prior menu on the car and OBD2AA just crashes (on both phones). I tried patching the app via AA AIO Tweaker as well.
Tried older versions of AA on the 6T and even if I can get around the app requirements being out of date, AA just throws error 14 and wants me to update Play Services. So I've been a bit stuck with it unfortunately.

I am running a Pixel 5 on Android 12 with Ford Sync 3 and 4. I have the latest version of AA also. Do you have the torque pro app? Did you pay for the app on the website in the post? You can't just use the one found in the app store. You don't need a rooted phone for it to work.
My suggestion would be to clear out the app data for Android Auto and clear out the app defaults. I would then reboot your phone. While the phone is un-locked plug your phone into your headunit. Hopefully you will get the prompt to select Android Auto or OBD2AA.

Thanks for all that info, I appreciate the reply. I've got both apps and ensured Torque Pro is communicating properly as well. I'll try clearing everything for AA, I had been doing that with the other apps instead thinking that was the issue but never thought to try it with AA itself.

Xiaomi 12T Pro - problem with wireless connection to Android Auto

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.
