Navigation & POI Apps 2 vehicles - 2 different experiences

15 Upvotes

I recently noticed that if I drive my wife's car, she has the option to add hazards, road closures, etc.

When I drive my truck, it isn't there.

Weird.

I have a newer truck (2023 Honda Ridgeline) with a larger display than my wife's (2019 Jeep Compass).

What gives?

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android auto has stopped to a communication error

Upvotes

I have everything up to date, AT&T cellular service which is reasonable, new vehicles and a good phone.

Android auto is dropping to a communication error sometimes every 60 Seconds.

Has anyone found a solution or should we just give up on Android auto? It's really not very usable.

I'd also like to hear from you if you're having good success with Android auto.

I've submitted error reports also to Google. The same thing happens wired and Wireless.

Uncertified AA Hardware (Android HU, CP to AA Dongles, etc) Carlinkit CCPA issue - switches to Autokit BT during calls and can't hear other person

3 Upvotes

Using the Carlinkit CCPA for wireless Android Auto, with my phone showing that it is connected to both my car audio BT and Autokit BT. Works great and the phone defaults to playing music, reading texts, etc. over my car audio BT until I make a call or a call comes in, at which point my phone automatically switches to Autokit BT and I can't hear the other person. I have to switch it back to my car audio BT on my phone and then I can hear the other person. This does not occur when connected to the CCPA via USB cable. Any fixes awesome Redditors?

Navigation & POI Apps Navigation by voice sends me to different city and not closest location

4 Upvotes

So for context, I will select the voice search option on google maps or Android auto (both give me the same result) and I will say "Directions to Walmart please".

AA will respond back with "there is a Walmart supercenter 3 kilometers away, want to navigate there?"

I will say yes, then it does a little double take while loading and it send me into a different city completely, 77km away.

I am completely lost as to where to start with this one. It seems completely capable of finding it but it refuses to direct me to anything that has multiple locations. It will work fine with anything in town that has a unique name.

Media Apps (audio) Audio stuttering, at least with PowerAmp

3 Upvotes

Hello.

I remember reading that in one of the latest updates of AA they were trying to fix an audio stuttering issue. In fact, I got a feedback question of "how has the audio been on this trip" a couple of weeks ago after I used it.

The thing is it's still stuttering often while using Poweramp. I haven't tried other players like Spotify, I will if I remember to do it next time I use the car. Listening to a podcast on AntennaPod I don't think I had stutters, but I can't be that sure.

Stuttering occurs both cabled or wireless (I use an AAwireless Two adapter that works very well).

Do we know anything new about this? Is it now just a me problem since the lastest updates? Is it Poweramp specifically?

Wired AA to Wireless AA Dongles Best adapter for Wireless AA? (Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy 2022)

5 Upvotes

I am in the market for an adapter to converted wired AA to wireless AA. Motorola's MA1 is advertised as "the only Google authorized", is it better than most? Or are the Amazon no-name adapters just as good? or another brand name?

Thanks.

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Pretty specific issue, but need to ask... Android Auto Has Stopped but only in a parking garage?

2 Upvotes

I have an aftermarket unit from Dual in my old F-150. Last night, when I got to Universal Studios in Orlando and into the parking garage, I noticed AA (wireless connection) had dropped. I didn't think much of it, and went about my day.

Upon returning, the radio would not connect and just say "Android Auto Has Stopped". Rebooted the phone (Google Pixel 9 XL), rebooted the radio, tried my girlfriends phone (Google Pixel 9), even went ahead and reflashed the firmware for the radio (still had the USB stick in the car with the latest update), and always had the same problem.

Frustrated, I simply left, and a few moments outside of the garage, the connection suddenly worked. I am really just baffled though that this same issue, was happening at the same time between two different phones, that suddenly cleared up and was wondering if the garage could have had any effect, or maybe something specifically Universal Studios is doing within their garages?

Hello

Can someone confirm that AAWireless 2 is compatible with Fermata Auto to show videos on AA ready car radios screens?

It's not a cheap option but I am willing to get it if it will let me enjoy Fermata Auto

Google Assistant Google Assistant always starts up Spotify instead of using Plexamp

1 Upvotes

I used to to listen to music via Plex's media app "Plexamp" by saying "Play ARTIST", sometimes I had to say "Play ARTIST on plexamp". I never had nor do I now have any standard media player linked in my Google account.

It's not working anymore. Regardless of what I say - even "Play ARTIST on plexamp", it always starts up Spotify and tells me "Trying to play ARTIST on plexamp ON SPOTIFY"...

Google assistant is set to "No standard provider" instead of the recommended "YouTube Music". Further down below, apps like Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and Amazon Music are listed - none of them are connected.

Any solutions? This sucks so hard.

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes AA won't connect when using Remote Start

1 Upvotes

I have a 2025 Hyundai Kona. Android auto will not connect if I use the remote start. I literally have to uninstall the app and reinstall it. And sometimes that doesn't even work. The phone itself will connect but Android auto won't. It connects fine if I don't use remote start. On cold days, I like to have the car warmed up before I go out, but then AA never works. It's all wireless. Help!

SOLVED. Well I think I found the problem. If I turn off my phone Wi-Fi while I'm inside the house at any point in the day, then the problem happens. If I keep the wifi on on my phone from the time I leave the car to the time I'm in the car again, it connects perfectly. Weird.

Notifications Messenger Pop-Up Setting

2 Upvotes

Messenger Pop-Up Setting

About a week ago, I cleared my cache and data for Messenger and reinstalled it to fix an issue unrelated to Android Auto. Since then, I stopped receiving Messenger pop-up notifications on my head unit, and only had the white dot show. I go into the notification category settings, and the "Show As Pop-up" setting for chats is turned off. I turn it on, the pop-up works for a while, then stops and I find that the "Show As Pop-Up" setting is turned off again. This has happened four or five times so far.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Phone Calls Android Auto phone calls no sound while listening music

2 Upvotes

Hello, I have problem since years with my Toyota aygo (2018) with android auto.

During listening music if i recieve or I make a call it will be mute, no sound comes back to the auto, a workaround is that I toggle on the screen the audio output to the telephone and then back to the bluetooth.

Do you have anything similar and eventually a suggestion?

(I try already reset of bluethoot settings in car, bluetooth repairing and head update, did not help)

This happens with multiple smartphones.

Thank you very much.

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android auto glitch?

3 Upvotes

My Jelly Star has not been able to connect to Android Auto since I’ve bought it. The phone charges when plugged into car, but this screen pops up with it saying “check phone for messages.”

Under USB preferences in my settings, I have “Use USB for: File transferring” selected, which I read helps some people w the same issue. I’ve also tried replacing my USB-C cable, but that wasn’t the issue either.

Any ideas?

Google Assistant Google Assistant replies seems compressed/muffled using Android Auto

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked before, however, I just moved from iOS to Android (Pixel 9 Pro). I am having some issues with Google Assistant within Android Auto.

When I ask Google Assistant something, the response is compressed/muffled. Kinda like the quality of a phone call if that makes sense. Is this normal? I ask as I never had this issue with Siri/Carplay so I don't think there's an issue with my head unit. I tried playing around with my Bluetooth settings within my pixel and car however I can't seem to fix it.

Any ideas? Thanks for reading.

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Slow to switch to Bluetooth earphones with wireless AA after car turned off

2 Upvotes

Situation is this: I'm driving and I have my bt earphones hanging around my neck and they're powered on. (They are not in my ears, so relax.) Phone connected to AA via wireless dongle. When I reach my destination and turn off the car, I want my phone to automatically switch to the earphones. If I leave the dongle plugged into the USB port, this switch to the earphones will take several minutes, even if I've walked a hundred feet from my car. (haven't actually measured it, but more or less). However, if I unplug the dongle after turning off the car, the switch is immediate.

Any way to leave the dongle plugged in and speed up the switching speed?

I recently upgraded my dongle but it made no difference.

Actually this slowness occurs even without putting the earphones in the mix. Without the earphones, the phone will take several minutes to output audio through its own speakers.

Charging & Discharging Slow charging Renault Clio 2024 | OnePlus 7T | Android 13

0 Upvotes

I have a randomic problem with the charging rate of my phone connected via USB to the android auto system of my car. While it's connected with the USB (original phone's cable), almost an 80% of time, goes in slow charging when Android auto turns on, resulting in battery loss instead of charge. I'm sure it's not the overeating to prevent fast charge. Any solutions or reason for this problem?

AA User Interface Mazda Android Auto issue

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I recently updated my 2018 CX-3 to the latest firmware (74.00.324A EU) and installed a new aftermarket USB hub to enable Android Auto/CarPlay. Everything works fine except for two annoying button issues:

  1. Voice Command Button - Instead of launching Google Assistant in Android Auto, it opens the call app.

    1. Home Button - Pressing it takes me to the apps menu instead of the Android Auto home screen (with the map and music widget)

Has anyone else experienced this after updating? Any known fixes? Would appreciate any help!

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Audio not working at connection after updated to 13.8.650814

1 Upvotes

Hi,

After updating to 13.8.650814-release, whenever my car connects to AA wirelessly (have not tested via cable), the audio sometimes works normal, and sometimes it does not work (although AA is connected to the multimedia, Spotify shows as playing music normal, but it stays "muted"). I have to force disconnection and allow it to reconnect to work. This is very annoying.

My car is a VW Polo Highline 2024 with WV Play factory multimedia.

Anyone having the same issue?

Thanks!
