Is it factory or after-market radio? I'm waiting on my S8 to arrive today...Android Auto is one thing I've been wondering about...whether it's going to screw up or not with the new phone. Mine is an after-market (Pioneer).

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as well. I have the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX and I have come to rely on AA with my S7E, it didn't work at first a while back, but after an (phone) update it works fine. I can't see going without it at this point, very useful. I'll chime in when I get my S8+ (hopefully tomorrow) if I have any issues.

Same here...that's exactly what I have and I've gotten so used to it, it's a must have for my new phone to work with it! My S8 should be arriving any minute and top of my priority list is connecting it to my car. I'll keep you posted.

Works fine for me. Hyundai with AVN 4.0 (latest) stock head unit. Remember too that if you used Smart Switch to set up your phone you need to uninstall and reinstall all your AA dependent apps. AA doesn't see them for some reason when they're copied vs. installed from scratch.

It worked flawlessly on my way home from work!

Finally figured it out. Turns out the play services app need updating and wouldn't update unless connected to Wi-Fi. All works now!

Also having some issues it seems with android auto, s8, and connection to my car.
I love having new technology but I wish things like this were already hammered out.

Did you try uninstalling Android Auto app? I uninstalled mine then went plug it up in my car and let it prompt me to download everything and allow permissions, etc. I had to put my emergency brake on and go through the whole nine yards, but it worked perfectly once all done.

Yes. This was the first step I did. Uninstalled AA, Spotify, and then installed AA. Once done with that I went into android auto and downloaded Spotify. Still not listed as an option. Also tried another USB cord just for good measure.

Finally got to use android auto this morning. I used a micro USB to USB C adapter I had bought earlier. Everything ran perfectly, I didn't need to install anything, spotify worked, everything so far exactly as before with no hiccups.

I had to do this twice to get it working right lol.
But now... Sometimes it tells me Spotify isn't working and has a spinning icon. I have to restart the phone and car to remedy. This has been happening since android 7 came out to update on my devices. S7Edge before and now the S8

I hadn't realized it till over the weekend that my iHeart Radio wasn't appearing in my music choice either. I uninstalled and re-installed iHeart Radio app to see if that helped but it didn't. Then suddenly I get in my car this morning and it's working! IDK what the deal is.

Android auto, s8, google maps
Somebody please help. 2016 jeep wrangled. When I TRY to use Google maps nav as soon as my s8+ display goes black I get the searching for GPS. So frustrating. Any advice??? Please and thank you

Working fine here. I've got a 2015 Sonata.
Uninstall the AA app, delete the pairing from the car and phone, then re-pair and try again from the start. But mine worked straight away.
Apply parking brake.

Tells me that android auto will start when I am parked, already parked? Apply parking brake. The S6 edge+ plus never said this so it must be a mm thing. Don't know what to do now.

I don't have android edge but on my 2012 civic this phone doesn't display song info when streaming music over Bluetooth like all my previous phones. Not quite sure how to fix this.

Got it to work by disconnecting my parking brake ground from head unit and replacing it with a switch that is underneath my din cover. Now I can make it think I'm in park even when cruising down the highway, Win, win!!

This is typically a kernel issue, or firmware on the radio.
My old 2013 Sonata never displayed artist/track info except for USB or an iPhone plugged in with the special Hyundai cable. After a firmware update in mid-2013, it began working, and kept doing so for every phone I had until trading the car in 3 months ago. Except for my VZW Galaxy S5.

Help! Seicane S18JP25 Quad Core/Android 7.1.2 drops bluetooth phone after 2 seconds!

Stock ROM from Seicane ~4 weeks ago. The unit pairs with the cell phone for ~2 seconds and then drops the connection. If I'm quick, I can actually place a call that goes through the handset and places a call that uses the handset speaker.
I tested on a Leeco Pro3 and an Alcatel phone. This is a show stopper but the unit is installed and it was shipped direct from China so replacing it is a big deal. HELP!
Has anyone else seen this?
i have this unit, I have not had any issues with Bluetooth. I did a 6 hour road trip, listening to Bluetooth the whole time. I was connected to a Moto Z2 Force.
What is your About Device screen showing? maybe you need an update, i just updated my MCU to the latest KSP

Thanks CadillacMike. I checked and I have the same MCU as you do. So I did a factory reset (on Seicane's advice, sort of, it's little hard to guess what they were trying to say). It didn't fix anything but blew away IGO and maybe a few other things.
Then I tried a 3rd phone; my son's Moto G4 paired quickly and perfectly.
Next up:
Recover the missing pieces from the factory reset.
Update/change/whatever to get my phone to behave.
EDIT: Got it working. Burned my phone with a custom ROM: ResurrectionRemix. No idea why this worked but the hint came from some else with a similar andoid head and a LeeCo phone. Likely hopeless for the Alcatel phone but that is unimportant for me.
As small thank, maybe you would enjoy a Jeep icon for your IGO map? Put the attached files in \igo\content\car Then in settings -> map options change the 3d car to one of the selected
hey thanks, but i dont use iGo, i just use Google Maps.
I also got Seicane headlights:

What did you update to? The pictures aren't loading for me.
I like unit so much that I might leave it alone for awhile and have something to play with later when a 10" screen in the dash seems like an everyday thing.
It was the October 26th update for PX3 that was in the Dasaita thread

I can see the pictures now. Looks great, thanks for the pictures. Did you have to reinstall all the apps and settings? Now that everything is working on mine I am trying to resist rehashing the whole thing.
Well, trying to resist anyway.

Whats happened on the mazdas with all chinese units
People were having issues having their cell phones even connect. It was duento the issue of having the device paired with the old radio.. which i had with my so480.
I had to reinstall the old radio, unpair all devies from it then reinstall the new radio and pair up and has worked fine ever since. Now as to why i dont know as the aftermarket radio used its own bluetooth connections as the canbus only let the radio sync up with the steering wheel functions. Hopefully you get it fixed.

Android Auto and non-OEM Kenwood headunit

Hello,
Having issues connecting with a Kenwood headunit, it has literally worked twice in a week. It continuously cycles in and out and simply says "an access error of the USB device has occurred." Has anyone else have this issues? I've tried MTP settings, debugging, and nothing seems to do it.

Are you running Android Oreo Beta?
If yes, that can be the reason. Essential has mentioned this in the release notes..

No, actually running the latest Nougat. It somehow managed to work twice today, but as soon as I unplugged it, off it went.

I'm on my third USB cable now, and I got it to work for about 30 minutes at one point last week, unplugged it and plugged it back in and boom, no more Android Auto.
Is there any update on this thread? I am having dificulties with the PH-1 running the latest OREO from Essential. The phone will never attempt to make the connection to the head unit, that has run AA for the last 2 1/2 years without a problem on my Nexus 6P and my iPhone. I have tried 3 different cables some short some long. I have tried the same cables that I use to reflash the PH-1 as well.
I reflashed back to Nougat to see if it was an upgrade problem, and I was not even able to load AA on the phone, so I promptly went back to 8.1.
I am considering trying Linage OS to see if that might fix the problem, but would love to have a little feedback here if people have had success.
I'm new to the Essential (just got it yesterday) but I'm also having AA problems with my Honda Ridgeline. Absolutley no problems with my Pixel XL for over a year (same cable) but AA refuses to load on the truck. Actually, it did load once, but not again. I have removed the app & reinstalled it. Nothing. Rebooted the phone, nothing. Tried two different cables, nothing. Sometimes it will cycle ("Connected to Car") for a bit but then ultimately give up. What up with this phone?? I'm running factory stock Oreo 8.1. Help?!
Ugh, I wished I read this before buying my head unit. I can't get AA to work for anything. My iPhone works fine, but Carplay sucks!

Waze in Android auto issues

Anyone have so many problems as me when using Waze in Android auto?
1) street names text is so pixelated and not crisp/smooth
2) freezing
3) sometime it doesn't even update the location and blank map
Etc..
Are you using a Oneplus 6T? I just got off the phone with Oneplus support because I cannot get Android Auto to work at all.
I'm in similar boat too.
Android Auto is messed up on this phone.
OnePlus has been of no help whatsoever.
I have been providing them logs they requested. No reply from them.

Yes 6T international ver..
damn... sucks seeing all of you having issues with AA
works great for me... I'm on the latest 9.0.11 with root and twrp and haven't seen any problems
I ranted about this on Twitter. Probably not gonna make a difference, but did it anyway..
https://twitter.com/iamshahaz/status/1081590759935987713?s=19
I posted on another thread, but I'll update this one too. I have an almost clean install as my phone was only hours old. I upgraded to the latest oxygen build (non-beta) and still no-dice. Tier 1 customer support was worthless, as was the advanced support team. It wasn't until after they told me to return the phone and hope for the feature to be fixed eventually in another build, that I again tried but with the factory dash cable. Android Auto worked immediately! I'm not sure why, but the cable that I was using with my other phone for AA wouldn't work for the 6T. Now that it is working, it works amazing.
I hope this helps someone else... Best of luck.
I can tell you my non-standard cables on my Essential phone are intermittent with AA in my car, but the stock cord, works...only phone I now that didn't work at all is the Pixel 2 XL...sold it anyway. But I use AA daily and about to buy this phone because I'm on Verizon and been awaiting support. So as long as the cable is just the issue, no biggie..can always buy a spare one for the car.

Question NOS 1.1.3 breaks Android Auto

My Android Auto is stopped working when i manually update to 1.1.3
Anyone seeing the same issue? Is there a way to downgrade to 1.1.2?
Also, i had performed factory reset on 1.1.3 and it didn't helped, AA is still not working.
you shouldn't have done that

yes lesson learned in a hard way. so i need to downgrade to previous version or use my other phone since i rely heavily on AA...
ok problem solved. i need to manually go to phone usb setting and select file transfer. what a rookie mistake.
I still not updatedbecause it didn't appeared and I'm in 1.1.2 and Android auto doesn't work it shows black screen in my car and the phone says it's connected.

have you checked your usb connection option when connected to AA? there should be an option for selecting either file transfer/AA, USB tethering, MIDI, PTP, and no data transfer (default selection).

No but I will check. I didn't know you need to do that to use AA.
So this is not related to 1.1.3. Please stop picking this thread up in other threads and stop posts like "there are issues with 1.1.3 and Android auto". Thanks!

This is not from the Nothing OS 1.1.3 update, but from the Android Auro update
The most common message users report seeing is "phone not compatible" when pairing their device via the Android Auto app. What happens on the car screen depends on the specific make and model, but it's usually an error message of some sort, with some user submissions shown below.
The issue appears to be Android version independent and related solely to the Android Auto 7.8.6 update.
Google representatives responded to the thread, asking for more details about the user reports, including Android Auto version number, smartphone model, car make/model and other relevant data. But for the past three days, Google has remained silent on the issue besides mentioning that the information has been passed on to the Android Auto team.
If you're having problems, downloading an earlier version of Android Auto may solve the problem, and you can also try signing up for the beta programme while you wait for a fix for the app.
Ok thanks I will try.

If you want, go to see this news from AndroidSage : https://www.androidsage.com/2022/08...8-0-6-beta-apk-with-new-features-coolwalk-ui/
I am not sure whether my previous issue was related to specific Nothing OS or AA version. But here's what i had observed:
In 1.1.2, i can simply plug in the AA usb cable to the Nothing phone (with locked screen) and AA will load automatically on the car HU.
In 1.1.3, that did not happened. After connecting the USB cable, AA will not load automatically. Instead, i will need to unlock my phone, go to USB Accessory setting and change either from "File transfer" to "No data transfer" or from "No data transfer" to "File transfer", then only AA will load on my HU. Since this setting is not permanent, i need to repeat this steps every single time i want to use AA.
Works perfectly fine here
Funny, i changed from S22 Ultra and now all troubles with Android Auto is gone, louder navigation and the 1-3 sec of silence every 5 mins when playing music is gone, OnePlus 8t Samsung s20 fe 5g and s22 Ultra all had the same issues, now i can finally enjoy music while driving!

Doubt that's an hardware or phone issue.
It's an AA issue mostly. I haven't had any problems with my OP8T for example. On some phones i had issues but after clearing cache, force close and reinstalling AA it worked flawless.
