I use Android Auto with my Xiaomi Mi 10T PRO but I have 2 problems:
When my phone lost GSM signal Android Auto connection is terminated, so Android Auto works again when the GSM connection is re-established;
When I try to run a app from Android Auto I get an error about "the application doesn't seem to work", however if I open the app on phone this app works also on Android Auto (it seems that android auto cannot open the app on the phone);
Any suggestions?
about the second problem, you have to activate "auto-start" in app permissions

Hi,
I've tried Android Auto (AA) in my car with the following problem:
Installed AA via apkmirror.com (Google does not oficially support AA in Czech Republic yet). I've tried packages for arm and arm64 architecture (same results).
Connected to car via USB.
AA started, displayed on my car's display, working.
Started Waze - my current location correctly set and displayed.
After starting driving my location didn't change at all.
Steps 4 - 5 are the same for Google Maps.
Both Google Maps and Waze are working correctly when run normally on my phone.
Car: Skoda Octavia 5E (2016), does offically support AA
Phone: Xiaomi Redmi 4X (Android 6.0.1, MIUI Global 8.5.2.0)
Please, what could be wrong?
Anything I could try to make the navigation work?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
I'm having the same problem as you do. The only one working in my AA is Google Maps. Waze not working correctly in AA. Stay still in one point for all the time and the navigation didn't work.
Haven't tried the waze on the phone yet.
Xiaomi Redmi 4X (Android 6.0.1, MIUI Global 8.5.2.0)
Zafira MY 2017 + intellilink 4.0
Same here. But I've noticed one thing. The same version of Android Auto and Waze works on my old Asus Zenfone 2. I upgraded to Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 this week and everythinkg works fine except Waze. It starts up, I can set my destination, but my location on map is the last position from mobile mode. When I switch to AA mode it do not use GPS somehow (or its blocked).
I suspect this is caused by either bug in Xiaomi or its setup. So I started playing with power saving features (turning them off) and I'll see if it helps.
FIXED!!!
it seems like MIUI was causing the issue. In the Settings, there is battery saving setup which can disable access to GPS if screen is off. So I disabled all the stuff and Waze works as it should.

Thanks!
This I've tried as well. I've set Custom behavior for AA to "No restriction" but with no avail. Maybe another service? Didn't find any obviously named such as Location service or so...
I'll try disabling power saver at all to confirm your observation soon!
Fix confirmed
Great!
Disabling power saver completely solved the issue.
But, I wanted to have the power saver on. So I experimented a little and the (working) result is:
Under Battery & performance -> Manage apps battery usage -> Choose apps set no restriction to applications:
Android Auto
Waze
I also added Google Play services for Instant Apps and Google Services Framework (System apps tab) to this list but I'm not sure if this matters.
what version android?

I'm also running into this issue with only waze on AA. Waze works fine by itself, and GM works fine both. I was unable to find where I could set the battery restrictions. This is also a new problem for me as it was working (same car) but on an older phone. Issue appears to be on the new (samsung s8+) only. Submitted issue to waze, but if someone here has a solution before they get back to me, that would be great!
Thanks so much everyone I turned off battery save on my Galaxy S-8+ and all is working again.
Android 10 - Android Auto "this internet connection isn't reliable at the moment"
EDIT - According to THIS Android Auto support thread it's been reported and is being worked on.
-----
I've got an AT&T locked Note 9 (SM-N960U). I recently updated to Android 10 via Odin using the CCT variant of DTA4 build. The update worked fine but afterwards I noticed that if I try to compose a message (new message or reply, Hangouts or SMS) in Android Auto it will work OK up to the "do you want to send it or change it" part and then it IMMEDIATELY gives a quick beep and says "this internet connection isn't reliable at the moment". The signal is fine from all I can see.
I've tried clearing cache on Play services and Android Auto with no luck. Today I went all in and did a factory reset in case it was an issue with the upgrade vs a fresh install. No luck, same error. I can use Assistant on the phone to compose/send messages successfully. I've also tried being on wifi vs being on a strong 4G LTE signal, same failure.
I found a mention HERE of someone solving it by removing GBoard. I didn't have that installed, but I did try disabling Google Voice Input under the keyboard section to no avail.
For grins I tried posting at the AA help site HERE but I figured this audience might be better equipped to help. Any ideas?
If it matters, the car is a 2018 Volvo S90, but there's been no changes to the car's software in this time so I don't suspect is as the cause.
Thanks!
Everything was perfect until i decided to upgrade to a device with Android 10. Android auto is preinstalled in that version and I can't install the apk (no reason though) in order to use android auto in my car.
I live in a country where android auto is not officially launched and by using the apk method in older versions, I could bypass the check. Now that has changed since it's preinstalled and it says that I live in a country where android auto doesn't support.
Is there any workaround for this ?
Thanks
The only thing I can tell is that I also live in a country where AA apk is not available in the Play store and I had to sideload it from Apkmirror. I am still on Android 9.
But, a friend of mine, which recently bought a Samsung S20 Ultra with Android 10, is able to use the built-in AA, besides the fact that officially AA is not available in our country.
You should know that, in Android 10, you won't find an icon for AA apk, because there isn't one. Due to the fact that AA is part of the operating system, it is not possible to start it manually, but it will be automatically activated when the phone is connected to the car's infotainment system, supporting AA. If you try to connect your phone wirelessly from the first time, it probably won't work. For the first connection and settings, you should use an USB cable.

Simple solution... use VPN and set it up to a country where AA is supported(mocked location)... or use apkmirror or Aurora store(aka free Google play, use XDA search for thread )
SOLVED
It was simpler than this, for whatever reason the usb cable only charged the device not giving a data connection and without having an option to change this. Tried 2-3 cables and one of them did the trick, everything was sorted out.
Hope someone can help.
I have no issues connect my Note 8 to my Android Auto device in the car using a Samsung ROM. However, if I try the same with either ASOP or Lineage ROM I get through to set up to the point that assistant page pops up then there is another page requesting something. But it crashes everytime. It shows connected devices in the android auto app but it doesn't connect. Does anyone else have this issue or could help me?
I have two OP's now, an 8T and 10 Pro, both on Android 12. While the 10 Pro came with 12, the 8T was just recently upgraded.
Neither of them will start Android Auto without me first unlocking the phone. This problem only started on the 8T after the 12 upgrade and then the minor update that followed.
I noticed when I unlock my phones the popup to specify what type of USB connection pops up, (charge only, file transfer, etc) - so wondering if this is part of the problem? I tried setting the default to file transfer which is the option for Android Auto, but I still have to unlock the phone every single time I connect to my car.
Did something change between 11 and 12 that would make this happen? Is this a bug?
Does anyone else have this issue, or a resolution idea?

Try disabling the screensaver on your phone. I had similar issues on my OnePlus 7Pro, though not on Android 12. After I disabled the screensaver, it connected fine.

Thanks but I'm not sure what you mean by screensaver? Oxygen OS, at least, doesn't have anything like that in settings. We have a "lock screen" but I need security on my phone so I can't disable that.
I did find a "trusted devices" section where your phone will remain unlocked when it detects things like a location or connected device. I added my car to this, but it still doesn't work. "Trusted Devices" still requires you to unlock phone once before it works properly once connected, just like my Android Auto is doing
I went into developer options and set the default USB configuration to charging/Android Auto. It still shows when you plug it in but my phone still works with the screen off. Also, check the settings in AA as there is one which you have to toggle for starting Android Auto when the phone is locked.
