MM and Android Auto

I flashed the MM upgrade on my US 5.5 and then did a factory reset, but now my Android Auto will not connect to my phone. I've tried swiping down and choosing MTP, but still does not connect. The phone is connecting to Bluetooth. After researching it seems to be a problem with Marshmallow and Android Auto. Does anyone know a fix?

Uninstall drivers and reinstall

There aren't any drivers. This is for Android Auto when I plug in to my Kia Sportage. Android Auto did work before the MM update, and it still works on other phones running 5.1.

Cant you just remove the device from android auto and then reconnect it?

I did remove the device, but Android Auto will not find the phone with the MM update. Seems to be a know issue with Samsung and LG devices.

I finally got Android Auto working by using the Developer options, Select USB configuration, RNDIS (USB Ethernet)

I have the same problem and i tried to put RNDIS but my cell doesnt get the configuration. Did you do something to put it on RNDIS?

I got a new car (Hyundai Kona) with android auto but my Idol 3 5.5 (6045I) will not connect to the car screen. I have MM on it (but not the 2 latest garbage updates). I have tried USB debugging, multiple(10) USB cords. I cannot get RNDIS to work on the USB -it reverts to charging. So my USB is set to MTP. My phone plays AA on it's own screen just fine but will not send it to the car screen. Bluetooth works fine.
The auto dealer rep tried his iphone (apple carplay) and another android phone and they connected just fine so it is not the car.
Any suggestions?

Android Auto

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.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (Android 5.0.2{Lollipop}) USB not working with Android Auto

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (Android 5.0.2{Lollipop}) USB not working with Android Auto on Hyundai display?
Phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 not working with Android Auto – not showing USB connecting to car
Android 5.0.2{Lollipop}
MIUI Global 9.5.4.0 -LHMMIFA- stable
Car is Hyundai Sonata 2018 SE
Android Auto Version 3.2.581534-release
Android Auto shows Accepted cars: None
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 working with Android Auto – showing USB connecting to car
Android 6.0{Marshmallow}
MIUI Global 9.5.2.0 -MBFMIFA- stable
Car is Hyundai Sonata 2018 SE
Android Auto Version 3.2.581534-release
Android Auto shows Accepted cars: Sonata
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone is named Android -- showing USB connecting to car
Android 4.0.3 {Ice Cream Sandwich}
Car is Hyundai Sonata 2018 SE
Not compatible Android Auto program
------------------------------------------------------------------
Things already tried include:
1. 6 different types of USB cables which show charging from the car. Note 4 shows on the phone that USB is connected.
Note 2 phone shows charging but shows USB is not connected.
2. Compared settings between phones, updating to the latest software release from Xiaomi
3. Have Developer mode turned on for both Note phones.
4. Allowed all permissions when installing Android Auto.
5. The Note 2 phone connects fine to Win XP, Win 7 and Windows 10 by USB.
6. On the Note 2 phone, tried going into “Developer” choices and turned off “MIUI Optimization”. Phone rebooted and USB shows it’s connected! Was surprised that it connected. Turned “MIUI Optimization” back on, phone rebooted and USB shows not connected. Turned off “MIUI Optimization”. Phone
rebooted and USB shows it’s connected again! Feeling good that I had found the problem, I repeated the process for the third time. Unfortunately “MIUI Optimization” on or off no longer will get USB to show it’s connected.
So problem isn’t the Android Auto program. Still something about how the Note 2 and Hyundai car are doing USB that aren’t allowing them to connect to each other. Is there an app that will assist in getting the Note 2 to consistently
connect to USB? Maybe an app that checks the handshake data difference between the Note 2 and Note 4 phones while trying to connect to the Hyundai car?
Thanks,

Oneplus 6 not connecting to Android Auto. Oneplus 5 works fine.

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!!

Allwinner T3 P1 not recognzing iPhone for CarPlay

Hi guys, I updated my Allwinner T3 P1 last week through Android check for updates without installing custom ROM or anything like that, just a regular update.
It turns out that since then my app that I used for Android Auto and CarPlay, which is called TLINK, simply stopped recognizing the iPhone. (Android continues normally). The iPhone connects normally, even charging works normally, but the app fails to recognize it and displays "fails to link, try another usb port". I've tried other ports, cables, apps, even other iPhones and nothing happens.
I did a factory reset and still nothing.
After factory reset, bluetooth also stopped working, now I can't search for bluetooths devices anymore, I also tried go to extra settings > config info > {tick BC7, untick BC6 and BC8} but still, I continue without bluetooth and without CarPlay.
I downloaded a ROM and put it on the pendrive to really try to format the device, but it happens that when I go to car settings > system update nothing happens, as if the option had no action, I pressed multiple times and still does not work.
Can anyone help me with this?
