Upgraded from N9 to N10+, upon connecting with USB to car dash it fails to "activate" the heads up display, forced to use the phone in hand for GPS and can only get audio through bluetooth pairing. Please advise if anyone has found a fix. Please also upvote the issue at the android auto thread @ google portal support DOT google DOT com/androidauto/thread/12684210?hl=en# (not sure on rules about links but assumed Google help forum was OK). Thanks.
I'm having the same issue. I upgraded from a Note 8 and Android Auto worked beautifully on that device.
The stock samsung cable sucks. Get an Anker Powerline cable, as short as possible, try for under 3'. I was CONSTANTLY having issues with my S9, Note 9, S10, then I got a 3 pack for $30. Haven't had an issue since then.

Hi,
Did somebody try to use an android auto function? My car (Peugeot 308SW 2018) and the phone not connecting with latest (8.1.0) android version. I tried to enable an USB debugging (as workaround recommendation), but nothing changed...
Have you other idea or working solution?
thx!

Yes, it works perfectly in my mid 2017 Kia Cee'd SW. Check if you have android auto enabled(i have the option to disable it and the apple car play). Also, the usb cable is working properly when connecting to a pc?
At the car side is enabled, at phone side i didnt found any additional options...
The best result was the android auto icon at phone appears and disappears continously with 2-3 different cables.
Is it possible the car head unit firmware not compatible with N7P latest SW version?

Doubt it. The car is from this year, it seems unlikely(to me) that the firmware wasn't up to date.
Stupid question, you have the android auto app installed on the phone right? Android has a Car Mode but to use android auto you need to install the app 1st(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead&hl=en). If the link says that you have no compatible device, download the latest version from here(https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/)
For almost a year I thought my head-unit wasn't up to date as the android auto would freeze, the app would say that the head-unit wasn't up to date, waze would display random artefacts, etc.
Now with the N7p it is butter smooth, no funky stuff and way more responsive that when I was trying to use it with my Redmi 4 Prime(same cable but with a micro-b to usb c adapter)...
No issues with AA in Seat Ateca 2018.
Everything works like a charm.
For phonecalls, you need to select default sim first, otherwise the call hangs on a sim selection prompt on the phone.
I write to nokia support and they send:
- clear the bluetooth cache
- do a soft reset
after this steps working fine...
what is Bluetooth cache?

You found here, how to clear: http://support.hereplus.me/hc/en-us/articles/115003497328-Clearing-your-Bluetooth-Cache-Android-/
Do you install android auto app on your smartphone ? some lands doesn't have android auto on the play store, so you need to download manually on apk mirror web site (arm64 version)
A good quality cable is also needed.
I'm having similar issues.
This phone won't work in both my VW cars.
If I clear all settings it works fine.
I get to my destination, unplug and then when I head out on my next trip it doesn't. Just a blank screen on the head unit and the phone has the green screen saying launch Android Auto on the head unit.
Tried the BT cache clearing as above. Will try a factory reset of the phone shortly too otherwise wait for pie and if still no go then sell the phone which I will miss
Though can't work without Android Auto now
It is definitely problem with Nokia 7 plus. In my car it connect and after few minutes black screen and solution is only disconnect and connect again.

I've found the bluetooth with my N7P poor anyway. This is my second one and the same as the first.
All HMD will do is send you a list of the bluetooth protocols they support.
So you may need to change your car ?
My 7+ works perfectly now.
Enable USB debugging and disable the extreme power saving settings.
I've just had my 2016 Mazda MX5 Miata's original equipment MZD Connect head unit upgraded to run Android Auto via a USB cable.
They tested it in the workshop with a couple of different phones and it all worked fine, but, alas - not with my Oneplus 6.
I'm running Android 10 and OxygenOS 10.3.0 and I can feel the phone vibrate in my hand as it repeatedly connects and immediately disconnects again. My wife's OnePlus 5 with Android 9 and OxygenOS 9.0.9 has no problems.
I've tried different cables, but it seems clear that it's a phone issue as all the other phones seem to connect with no problems.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Make sure it is not in charging mode from the menu when you plug it in. Also check the USB debugging. I connected easily to a 2019 Subaru.BTW, assuming Android auto app is on phone.

I've just set the default USB configuration to File Transfer. USB debugging is Off and Android Auto is built into Android 10, I believe (so you can't install the app anymore), but I have installed Android Auto for phone screens anyway - which is what you do if you still want to see the app on your phone. Does all that seem correct?
I had many issues with android auto and my O+6. I solved it with the solution given by "johr claessens" in this post : https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/4455995?msgid=15130627

I'm actually doing a very tentative victory dance ATM. I think I've solved the problem.
I opened the Android Auto for phone screens app, went to settings and found there were no 'Accepted Cars' and the 'Add new cars to Android Auto' was switched off. I switched that on, it then connected and added the MX-5 as an Accepted Car. And seemingly all is working fine. I'll do more tests tomorrow.
The bit that is odd, though, is that the Android Auto app is no longer required with Android 10 - it's built in and does everything automatically. If I hadn't installed that extra 'Android Auto for phone screens' I wouldn't even have access to those settings.
Also - the solution may have had to do with the steps Right2Bear suggested. Something seems to have worked. But if it all goes wrong tomorrow, I'll certainly try your suggestion, bilool. Thanks!!
Good morning to all, first of all I introduce myself to you. My name is Juan Manuel, I live in Buenos Aires Argentina and I work in a NOC of a telecommunications company.
The reason for my consultation is as follows. I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
I have a Pioneer AVH-Z5050TV stereo and a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Cellphone. And there is no way to run Android Auto properly since I bought both computers. No one gives me a single answer. Neither Samsung, nor Pioneer, nor Google.
When I connect the cell phone via USB cable to the stereo it lifts me for 5 seconds Android Auto and automatically disconnects and closes the application, I have to reconnect it so that the same thing happens. I did a lot of tests.
1. I did a factory reset. IT DID NOT WORK !!
2. Update the Stereo Firmware. IT DID NOT WORK !!
3. Buy 2 original Samsung data cables. IT DID NOT WORK !!
4. I lowered the Waze, so that it does not automatically lift the Google Maps and see if that was the problem and it persists.
A possible solution that you find is not the best thing to do. It was to grab an old Samsung J5 cell phone and with my Note 10 Plus give it internet through the Network Anchor and thus lift Android Auto from the J5. It works super slow but it works.
Something similar happened to this Google service and this cell phone? If so, sorry for creating this post but I didn't find it.
Thank you all for your time and I await everyone's answers.
Greetings.
Hi all,
First, thank you for all the job everyone does here. I'm new to this forum, so I hope I am posting in the right category and I respect the post format.
I am posting here because I recently bought a Junsun V1 (non pro) for my Mazda 2 on Aliexpress, but after one week of back and fourth with their support chat, I am unable to use Carplay over USB (not even talking about wireless).
First, I wasn't even seeing their "phonelink" app icon, which is needed to use Carplay over USB. After some exchanges with the support, they suggested me to "show" the icon using the secret menu 8888 beucase it was apparently hidden by default. And indeed, it was. So I was able to get the icon to show on the home screen, but every time I tried to open it, it would show "loading..." for ~15 seconds then close itself without saying anything.
I am using the original 4-pin USB cable, and also tried with the 6-pin one, without success. I also tried several lightning cables, and even with another iPhone (but my actual phone can use carplay in another car which had built in) but I can't manage to get it working. I have tried messing with the advanced USB settings, enabling carplay in the "engineer menu" (code 8877) enabling debug, but nothing works. I have also tried doing a factory reset, and the Junsun support sent me a firmware update, which didn't solve the problem.
I have found this post on XDA Developers of somebody mentioning the same kind of issue, but they seem to have fixed it by doing a factory reset, but in my case that didn't change anything.
I'm a little desperate to find a solution to this problem and even wonder if my unit doesn't have the necessary hardware to run CarPlay as apparently, the non-pro Junsun V1 didn't support it previously.
that's why I came to see if anyone has already had or seen this problem and would have a possible solution to give me. Otherwise I will turn to buying an external CarPlay dongle.
Thanks in advance and best regards !
Is it an MTCD type device, post Android system info with MCU version.
Don't hope, have a read through the forums.
Hi all does anyone else have an issue with apple carplay showing pixilation and artefacts on the screen?
Seller is not much help with this issue.
did you resolve the issue? does restart the head unit help?
No couldn’t resolve the problem. Restarting the headunit or phone would clear it but it kept coming back. I’ve since changed to a Teyes cc3 and haven’t had the issue
Thanks for the quick reply, I have the same pixilation problem, not as bad as yours, still useable. just want to check if there's any solution
I did try everything but just couldn’t sort it. Not much on the internet about it but some merc users had it but was fixed with a reboot of the phone.
There is a lot to find about "apple carplay pixelation" on the apple forums like "I pressed the home button and then Apple car play again and the screen went back to normal without losing the route map." Of course this is only a work-around.
Next to that: keep an eye on new releases of the carlink app. The latest version (multiple links in this forum) solves a lot of issues.
Thank you. I did try multiple versions and the seller was sending updated carlink apks but none worked. I also bought a dongle which showed the same issue unless the software was set to software mode and not hardware. Once I did that the CarPlay screen wasn’t as high res but didn’t show any pixelation.
Mine freaked out like that a few times.
I made sure it wasn't on Satellite view, used 5G wifi, and it mostly took care of it. sometimes all it took to clear was pulling down the menu on the head unit or dismissing the lower menu bar or similar.

And you both tried it on wireless and via USB?
I can imagine that wireless is the nicest one, but if a USB cable solves "everything", I would still use it. Maybe not for a 5 minute drive, but certainly for over an hour. It takes just as much time to connect/disconnect as to use one of the work-arounds during the trip (and maybe multiple times).
Yeah tried wireless 2.4ghz, 5ghz and wired with different cables.

Mine never connected via USB. I think only one of my USBs alllows that, and I chose the wrong one when piping it through to the front camera (i'd have to connect to it behind the glovebox)
I don't use carplay anymore since getting a DPI changer to make google maps actually usable on the screen. Before it was too small. wish I could set resolution by app or some kind of zoom mode for maps.
I agree about the dpi. I’ve changed mine to around 622 so that apps are more useable on the road.

Yeah, I had that too. Mine has 3 USB connections, but one seems not functional (or is that one the OTG? I did not even try, to be honest). 2 are in the glovebox and the 3rd behind the glovebox connected to my DAB+ antenna.
