LG G6 and Android Auto - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I wonder if someone can help. I got Android auto working on my car bit just for a while. On a second journey car radio started intermittently disconnecting the phone. I cannot get it working since the Skoda Octavia radio head unit shows up now that mobile is not compatible. Car is 2016 and I have latest AA installed on G6.
I tried resetting the mobile to factory settings and managed to get it working again, but after a while phone got disconnected again and there is no way to reconnecting. Resetting the MIB2 Bolero on. Skoda doesnt doesn't help either. Anyone with similar experience or possible fix?

What is are you on? And what phone model is it?

Do you mean OS? Latest, stock. It's International LG G6 H780.

Hi sebek_d,
I was in the same situation as you with my LG G6 and AA would disconnect or freeze and a red error message would appear on my phone.
I'm happy to say that i have fixed my issue, after buy multiple USB cables i was sceptic that it was the reason it was not working, i have since purchased the Duracell Sync & Charge USB 3.0 Type C cable and the problem is now fixed, Part number is USB5031A. I purchased my cable from Duracelldirect Australia. Hope this helps rectify your issue like it did mine.

Brand new Opel (Vauxhall) Astra with intellilink 4.0 and a brand new LG G6... AA works rarely and for unpredictable time. Usually I have to "Forget all the cars" in AA to make it work, but even that is 50-50% chance
Nexus 6p didn't have any issues with Astra before. Also I've tried Samsung J5 and it works flawlessly - with the SAME original LG USB-C cable! This is really frustrating and I hope someone has a solution...
Did anybody else manage to find some solution (Duracell is not available in my country... maybe some other cable?)
Cheers!

Did you resolve? I have the same issue with the NAV version of the Astra and am about to try a custom rom to see if it fixes it!

Erisin ES8990A - BIG issue

So I just bought this Erisin ES8990A from AliExpress and installed it today. I went to Google Play and downloaded an app and ever since I tried to open that app (DashCommand), Ive had nothing but issues. I don't know if this app caused the issue or if it was just a coincidence. Now, when I turn the unit on, I am greeted with "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" every time I boot up. Ill hit ok then it will finally bring back the UI after a few seconds. If I try to launch almost any app other than what came with the radio though, I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" again. However after this happens, I have to pull the power on the unit because at this point I just have a black wallpaper and can't load anything. I really wanted this to work so I could use digital gauges with DashCommand in my Lotus but it seems either this unit is a lemon or it needs to be refreshed. I am new to Android so don't have any idea of what to do and figured Id post so I could get advice of how to fix this without losing any of the radio apps the unit came with.

So I found out the reason for the System UI crashing. As soon as I unplugged the USB -> OBD 2 cable, everything functioned correctly. I guess this radio doesn't support USB host. OBD Wifi and Bluetooth works fine and Dash Command is working as it should.
Never heard of anybody trying OBDII over USB on these units, but it's good to know you fixed it and especially that you came back to write the fix in case it happens to somebody else

In fact, it works. With Torque Pro and DashCommand.
But you need an USB based on FTDI or Prolific chipset if I remenber correctly.
I have a Huifei Rk3066 800*600, with Malasyk Rom. But it worked with all the roms I tried.
Hi, i just purchased the same unit Erisin ES8990DE and was wondering how to get it connected to my ELM 327 -OBD2 bluetooth dongle in my car..
I am using Torque Pro in the unit and it cannot find the dongle since it's not paired with the unit? It can only see my cell phone, which has been paired through the bluetooth-handsfree menus..
So my question is, how do i pair the unit with the dongle? I cannot find a menu in the unit where i could search for the dongle/pair it... And i cannot use the BT handsfree menu since it only receives the pairing, i cannot search devices with that..
Maybe there is a software i could use for the pairing, or can it be done through the normal menus?
Thanks,
Ville
U need to override BT and add the name OBDII. You do that via the Xposed(i think its called like that)
This is why the device is looking for the OBD only and not for OBDII.
Ok, thanks for the reply. Infact, i already bought a Wifi OBDII-dongle that works with the unit but i'll give this a try too.
I am having the same issue. The Erisin 2698 does not see the OBDII adapter in the Bluetooth list so it cannot be paired and used in the Torque app. The OBDII adapter can connect to a Android tablet fine. You mention Xposed to override the BT - how does that work? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Android 6.0.1 Phone bluetooth issue with MTCC 5.1.1 Head Unit

I have MTCC-KLD6-V2.97 running factory 5.1.1 and a Samsung Note7 (no not an exploding one) running 6.0.1. I'm having issues with the bluetooth connecting to a Galaxy phone.
When i connect the phone via bluetooth, the bluetooth icon shows at the top of the screen then disappears after 5-10seconds. I can see on the phone, that when it connects initially, it connects for Call Audio (HSP) and Media Audio (A2DP). After 5-10 seconds the phone shows that HSP is off however leaving A2DP on. The Phone shows its still connected via bluetooth. No calls go through to the head unit etc.
Has anyone had this working with an Android 6.0.1 Phone? I was thinking maybe I should try Malaysk's ROM however I'm unsure if its an OS, MCU or Hardware issue. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

as far as i can tell none of the mtcb/c machines will connect to 6.0.1 phones except for music. mine does not either. it does not work on maylay 4.4.4 either. I have not tried his 5.1.1
it does connect to my mtcd fine though
I have the exact same issue. I'm also using a Note7 running 6.0.1. I'm running a Malaysk 5.1.1 ROM on my HU and having the same problem you described. Hoping there is a way to make this work in the future.

Has anybody got android 7 beta? I wonder if Android N works with MTCC OR MTCD units.
I've just connected an Sony Z3 running Android is 6.0.1 with no issues. This would appear to be an issue with the Samsung phones only at this stage.
I have a galaxy, J7 running 6.0.1 and my head unit has the same mtcc running 5.1.1, and I have had no problems so far as yet. My head unit is an eonon g2150f.
I have had 2 note 7 phones and they both worked with my HU with mtcb until i installed the samsung update that turns the battery indicater green.
I also installed the maylaysk 5.1.1 rom with no luck. Called samsung customer service, they were no help.
I believe it has something to do with the update.

Interesting odd how a battery icon update can adversely effect Bluetooth. Noted it was a 400MB update.

Only real difference i can find is Z3 has Bluetooth 4 support and Note7 has 4.2. Bluetooth is meant to be backwards compatible.
Going to do a HCI log of both devices and compare. Samsung looking at old packet traces however the comparison of both may yield better results.
Samsung confirmed a fault however as we all know they axed the product. Consider this thread closed.

x727 - not compatible with Android Auto

We're you able to get it working with the Accord? I'm thinking of getting this phone, but I need it to work with my Civic.
Also won't work with Chevy Mylink system. Huawei Mate 8 and Nexus 6P work fine, Pro3 does not. After connecting the phone, the car detects it and asks to connect, and when selecting yes, it return the car infotainment to what it was on (radio), and not the android auto screen. On the the phone there is an Android Auto notification, which cannot be clicked. The phone switches to a USB screen stating that it is in charge only mode.
Anyone have any steps to get around this.

Can you clarify the port change you made. Both my car and phone only have one port, so I am not sure what you mean by switching ports. Thanks.

VW has confirmed that my USB port is faulty and ordered a replacement. I have two USB ports in my car, the front one does not work properly, where as the rear one works just fine.
If your car recognizes your phone, your phone is charging, but not connecting, then, most likely, one of the pins of the USB port might be loose. Have your dealership check it.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the clarification, i understand, you are physically changing a port! I doubt this is the issue in my car, as the car is in regular use by many drivers. 3 other phones work. A nexus 5, a nexus 5x and a Nexus 6P. You can see apettern there on what phones we prefer! I am also currently trying the Huawei Mate 8 which also works. But the Le Pro3 (x727) fails every time. A bad port would likely not work or be intermittant on at least some of the other phones.
I did try other cables, including the one that came with the phone, no difference. Did your dealer let you plug into a car on the lot, to verify the phone will work?

No, I just started the issue and they were able to test for it.
Have you enabled USB debugging in dev options? Try disabling it, try MTP/PTP options while connecting. Also, try clearing data or reinstalling Android Auto or verify the app permissions.

Is it safe to assume that it will work with all 2016 Civic trims? I have an EX-L.
If it's compatible, I am going to get the X727 on Black Friday. Thanks in advance for the info.

It should work fine with that, and I'll check that civic trim today to be sure as well.

Yeah, I think I have tried everything, which is why I decided to come over here to the smart folks for help. I enabled USB debugging, turned off battery optimization, checked all permissions. It is interesting that when it connects to the car USB port, the USB computer connection screen pops up, which is where you set MTP/PTP/Charge only, and it is set to charge only, and the options are grayed out, so I can't change them. With USB debugging enabled, it allows those to change, but it still makes no difference. It may be the combination of the Chevy AA implementation and the X727 ROM. It seems other users here are getting connected, so change the car it works. On my end, change the phone and it also works. Bummer. Will have to sell the Chevy or the phone. !!

I tried my phone on a 2016 Accord Touring: Android Auto worked fine.
Tried on 2016 Accord EX-L: Did not work. I tried all options on my phone; MTP, PTP, Charging, USB Debugging On/Off...No bueno. I'll look into any possible software updates for the audio unit and report back.
Tried on 2016 Civic EX-L: Android Auto works fine.
Looking into the Accord situation, I don't see any software updates for 2016 Accord. There are two different audio head unit part numbers used for 2016 Accord, both made by Clarion. The Touring, EX-L Navi & EX-L Navi V6 all use the same head unit. EX-L & EX-L V6 use a different head unit than the others. That may be the issue, but I don't know the root cause of the difference. Still looking into things.
Waiting for feedback from Clarion tech line rep at our offices in Ohio. I sent software version info for both units to him, so I'm waiting to see what he says.

There is a software update available for the audio head unit in your accord. I got the update file from our product development group here and I wish I could send it to you, but it's 19gb. Probably the best thing to do is go to your local honda dealer and have them update it for you. I imagine they would charge you for that, but I don't know for sure, and I don't know how much.
The update took about 30 minutes or so, and I can confirm my phone now works on it.
To summarize, my phone worked on our 16 Accord Touring and now the 16 EX-L after the update.
Hi Honda John,
I took my Honda 2016 Accord to the dealership, they said that they couldn't find any software update for the audio head unit in their system, could you please guide me towards my next steps?
thanks!
Ashmit
I factory reset my Honda Civics Bluetooth system and I can add my LEX727 to Android Auto now. It may also be because I'm on TARS ROM, but I never got that far before until I did the factory reset.

Which Honda dealer is it? I'll contact our Honda DPSM for your district and have them work with the dealer. According to our Product Development group, the update files are available on the server, but at this point an official Service Bulletin hasn't been published directing the dealer to look for the update. it's supposed to be coming out soon, but no specific date.

Thank you for getting back at me. My dealership is Valley Honda in Naperville, IL. They said that they weren't able to find any softwares in the bulletin, and my Car's software said that it was most updated one. I would appreciate if you could contact the DPSM and share with him about the issue.
I am still under 15 days of purchasing this phone, so I have the opportunity to return the device, if this does not get figured out. I need android auto for navigation as I am seriously direction impaired
I really appreciate your help!

Hi Ashmit, the Clarion engineer told me the update will probably be released by the end of this year, or early next year. Evidently, Honda will send each dealer two thumb drives when the service bulletins (one for Pilot, one for Accord) are published.
Unfortunately I think that's outside of your phone return window. If you'd still like to PM the name & number of the person you've been talking to, I'll give them a call & explain the situation.
I'm sorry it's not better news.

Android 7.1.1 Bluetooth Issues (With Cars)

I experience similar issues with the song info...on multiple devices, ranging from each major Android version since KitKat (I use my Evo 4G LTE from time to time). That's more of a Honda issue, honestly.

GS7 Edge was working fine though. Both on marshmallow and 7.0. Either there's something up with this phone or it's 7.1.1. My dad's iPhone 3gs works in my car fine as well.
Call choppiness on Nissan Maxima 2014.
No sound quality issues so far. Connecting to a previously paired device did not work a couple times but that has always been an issue for me on Android versions. Once I unpair and reconnect, it works.
In my car, I am connecting to an Mpow Bluetooth dongle plugged into my AUX jack and the sounds seems much better separated than my Nexus 6p when it is on Bluetooth. U11 is also clearer.
Kia Sorento SX 2013, streaming BT audio and GPS navigation flawlessly without problem.
On my Honda Prelude 2000 SE with custom Kenwood deck, HTC U11 also streams BT audio beautifully.
i have no problem what so ever, music,phone,massages,song info,email,etc... ,everything is fine

Hello
I have also these connecting problems with my Mercedes GLA and HTU 11, It will never reconnect when I start my car. I have to search always on my phone for Bluetooth devices and then connect manually. Before I had with the same car with Galaxy S8, LG G6, OnePlus 3, LG G5, Huawei P9 and all of them were working fine.
I think it's the well known Android 7.1.1 issue and hope an update will coming soon...

Seat Ateca infotainment doesn't import contacts from HTC U11 via Bluetooth
I have Seat Ateca 2017 (May) and when I first connecting (paired) my old HTC One M9 (Android 7.0) with car infotainment (IT) everything (Phone) works fine, contacts were imported, details of contacts were imported too (names& fotos of contacts) etc etc.
Now I have new HTC U11 with Android 7.1.1 (Android security patch level August 1, 2017 - software number 1.27.401.5) and car infotainment can not import contacts when it is connected with HTC U11 via Bluetooth. I can use car IT for talking, dial number but can't see name of contact and messages.
Anything similar?
I have trouble getting my U11 on 7.1.1 to connect to my bluetooth work headset. Never had an issue on my HTC 10. Sometimes even turning BT off and on again won't fix it and it will be stuck forever attempting to pair with the headset. Restarting fixes it.
Seems to be working fine for me. I connect it to my Pioneer 8890BT head unit.

I was very happy to see how much better bluetooth worked for me in my car than it did with my HTC 10. It has been working perfectly. I have an aftermarket Sony car stereo.

I found the same the u11 just works perfectly whereas the 10 had weird micro skipping/cut issues, even started using my old Nexus 7 (2013) in the car to stop it from bugging me. So happy I upgraded to the u11 even though i still have to pay for the 10 till May lol.
I have a Motorola Bluetooth adapter because my older car has no Bluetooth and I can have the phone,and only this phone within inches of each other and get the Bluetooth stutter and cut outs. No connection troubles tho.

Looks like this is why bluetooth on my car is all messed up.

I have an aftermarket Sony car stereo and works great with Smart connect and the Sony app. Absolutely no issues with bluetooth for me. Works great on my PC and my JBL Charge 3. I don't think it is the phone or the Android version. Unless it is Androids job to make it work perfectly with your device that you are having trouble with? I don't know, just glad I am having such a great experience. Bluetooth works much better on my U11 than it did on my HTC 10.

Android Auto not coming up on 2020 Subaru Outback

Hi.
Just got a 2020 Subaru Outback. When I connect my Essential with USB cable, nothing happens (other than charging). Works fine on my wife's '19 Nissan Rogue.
Also connected my wife's Samsung Galaxy S8 to Subaru, no problems - Android Auto popped up right-a-way.
Any '20 Subaru Outback, Legacy owners here?
Thanks
This should probably be under Question Answers.
>Nothing happens other than charging
Have you looked under your notifications to see if the USB options are set to charging only? I've never used Android Auto but I know I have to set it to File Transfer every time I plug my phones into my computer, otherwise it only charges.
I had the same issue, but by connecting a unpowered USB hub it should work. I know it sounds stupid, but give it a try.
@levpri I've got a Crosstrek and I was having similar issues. When I got the car I'd found a thread that mentioned a bunch of working and not working USB A to C cables. I ended up getting a couple of these cables and I've not had a problem since.
Amazon Anker Cable
Anker cable. Plug into car first, then phone.
Did you get it going?
I use AA on my outback /18 without issues got a new phone that was on android 10 now my AA not longer works, it connects I get my maps but it won't take any voice commands from the steering wheel.
not sure if it's my LG phone or that it's because it's on Android 10 I may try my old samsung phone set it back up tomorrow just to test.

Android Auto not functioning with Android 10

I'm having the same issue. I have a new Subaru Outback 2020. My Samsung S8 connected with AA with no problems. I just got a new Samsung Note 20 5G, running Android 10. Now Android Auto is not launching the map. I get voice driving instructions but no map. I see on my phone, a notification saying the phone is connecting to AA, but it eventually goes away and still no map showing on the head unit. I've tried several different USB-C to USB-A cables and none of them help with this issue. Google markets they've improved AA access by combining it with the Android operating system. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have done sufficient testing with this change. Typical of software giants sending out updates without full testing and ensuring it's functional.
GOOGLE: Get your act together! This is a serious issue. AA is supposed to aid drivers and the map on the head unit stops individuals looking at their phone. Well, you've just increased the chance of a crash now. It won't surprise me if GOOGLE gets sued for someone's death.
If anyone finds an update or resolution to this problem, PLEASE post the fix!!!
PS: We should not have to go through this ridiculous back and forth just to link Android Auto from our phone to our car. This is the 21st century, is it not? We send people to the moon, have smart(?) applicances, and even self-driving cars. Surely, we should be able to get a simple mapping system to show up on a car head unit!
Have you gone into your Android auto settings by any chance? It's an integrated app now so there's no icon for it in Android 10 (depending on phone).
You should be able to easily find it by using the search bar in the app drawer on a Samsung and it will find it in settings. Search key words "Android Auto".
I have both an Essential and Samsung Note9. My Essential phone still has the actual app on stock. I have had more trouble with Essential connecting to AA.
If you haven't tried anything in settings, you could look there and forget all cars to clean it up and start fresh. You could enable developer settings similar to actual Android and try things in those settings. You'll be able to change/set:
> Application Mode (Developer gives AA Server)
>Add wireless projection to settings
>Clear all data
>Unknown Sources
>Debug options
>Video Resolution
>And more...
Might have to experiment. Good luck!

I started receiving the same "Launching error.. check clock or upgrade google play services" error all of a sudden while I was on a road trip on 2020 subaru outback.
I noticed the time in the display console was off by 1hr so it was definitely some clock issue so I manually tried to set it but still the android auto won't connect. I figured there was some Subaru software issue because when setting the daylight saving to AUTO it was not sowing the correct info, while previously there was no issue with AUTO settings.
Then I tried my wife's phone and same issue.
I tried different cables and same issue.
I tried factory reset of subaru console from settings but still the same issue.
Then I came across some other post and tried the android auto phone app downgrade approach but it didn't work either. With lower phone app version it was not supported to connect to the subaru outback so the phone app forced me to download and install updates again. And then the same issue.
Finally, I went to the service center and asked them to look into this. They checked and fixed the issue in 3-4 hrs. They verbally told me that they updated the head unit and that fixed the issue. And then in the inspection report they had exactly mentioned as below:
"Performed inspection of vehicle and was able to verify customer concern of vehicle not being able to access android auto or apple car play, found TSB 15-261-20R which has an available update for the stereo head unit. Will perform update to make sure latest software is installed. Apple car play is now working. Old software version was F11GHM042-380 new software version is F11GHM072-582"
This is as of 17th Dec 2021. Since then the android auto is working fine.
I am sharing this post so that in case nothing works for you, try showing this message to subaru service center guys to help you fix the issue.
Hope this helps!
