I have a fairly new Android Auto headunit (Kenwood DDX9903s) running the latest firmware available that was released in August. I've been running this headunit with my Pixel 2 for almost a year and it works perfectly. Now I've moved over to a Pixel 3 and it refuses to work. My connection sequence is proper because it connects successfully every single time, launches AA, and makes it to the home screen. Sometimes it will even play 30 seconds of music too but then it will freeze and all playback or navigation stops entirely. It should be noted that I'm not having this issue on the stock headunit in my VW Golf R with Android Auto.
I want to be very clear, the headunit is still fine. If I hit the menu button it will take me to the root menu of the headunit where I can select other playback sources including radio. It is Android Auto that freezes and completely locks up. Only way to get out of that is to unplug it.
I've tried clearing cache/storage on the Android Auto app and also forgetting the device in the Bluetooth settings but nothing seems to help.
AA has been a mess for a few months. When I still had my Pixel 2 XL would crash or freeze every few minutes while driving and using Maps + Navigation. It got a little better after a few app updates more recently, but still crashed out on my occasionally. The P3XL is doing same/similar, but seems more related to the memory management issues.
I only have one head unit to test on (stock Chevy MyLink) so I can't see if it happens on other units or not..

That's what I find interesting. My stock unit in my VW Golf R seems to be fine with it. However, the aftermarket Kenwood is a bit pickier I suppose. And again, the Pixel2 operated flawlessly. Even on Android Pie. The only difference is the phone.
On my 2016 VW GTI Android auto seems to be a bit buggy with this device. It worked fairly well with my Samsung Galaxy S8. Usually the audio from the radio will duck (become quiet) when Google maps is giving directions to turn or something but now the audio for my radio seems to be ducked even when there are no voice prompts. Annoying.

Good call. I actually have that same problem on the Golf too. It's like the audio ducks and then sticks that way. Only way I've found to fix that is to unplug and then plug it back in.

I've had various audio ducking issues in the past, but it's pretty rare. Mine is usually more like I trigger Assistant and audio doesn't duck, so they're both really loud.
I've just go a Pixel 3 and tried to connect to my Audi (A4 B9) but had the same issue. It connects for a bit then just stops working. It loses its connection to the car. My Pixel 2 works without problems.

Just a quick chime in, not one issue yet, AA on a 2017 Chevy Volt with my pixel 3 standard. Had lots of issues with my previous s7 edge.
I'm having a issue too. I'm thinking it's got to do with the amp output on the head unit. I have a pioneer and it's got a 5v 1.5amp output.
Here is what is happening to it
You might have a point. My phone didn't charge when plugged in to my Audi.
That's worrying. I hope it's not a Pixel 3 hardware issue.

I hope not too but I think I'm on to something. I noticed the power output on the Phone charger plug says 5v 3a
and 9v 2a so it's above my current head unit which is 1.5amp
My wife has a Renault and my phone works fine in her car so I'm thinking she has dual power output and all the people not having issues have either dual power output or there is at 2amp and above.

I am going to do some more searching into this error. Im concerned it is a hardware error but it's still to early too say as I want to look into other devices like the pixel 2 and Samsung s8/9 which I have friends with those devices. They all support fast charging and want to see what there charging specs are. I have read previous comments people didn't have the issue with there pixel 2 so when I get a chance I will test if one works with my car and I will check with a multimeter what my USB port is actually outputting.
If anyone has charging specs for those devices could you please post them.
Thanks
We are not alone.

I have Kenwood DNX995S and my Pixel 3 connects fine and functions as it should. And actually that was one of the reasons I switched to Pixel 3 from S9+. Wireless Android Auto is awesome.
Updated to November security patch, it take a bit longer before AA close but it still close.
I've got the impression it is when I have maps and music running, just like if it can handle many apps at the same time
Anyone having an issue with Android Auto on the OP7P?
When i connect mine to the car the only volume that displays on the radio screen is "prompt level" and i cannot control the volume levels of the radio or phonecall. I have to disconnect and reconnect the phone several times before it works.
This was never an issue with my OP6. I reinstalled the apk just to be sure, but same problem.
Just wondering if someone has same issue or knows of a fix?
Thanks
Your doing better than me. I can't get Android Auto to work at all with my headunit.
Really annoying as it works fine with my Pixel 2XL.
Android Auto working perfectly on my wife's 2019 Audi A6.
What Android software are you guys on? I haven't tried 9.5.8 but 9.5.7 worked.
Beside of Dual Sim Selection everything works as expected.

Android auto sucks with OnePlus (I had 6 and now 7 pro) on Renault. Screen is always pixelated and not responsive.
I too have had issues with Android auto. I have a GMC canyon 2018 and notice that sometimes when I plug the phone in, it does not automatically show up. I have to manually force it to show. I also have had it turn off completely.
Working fine on my 2018 Kia forte.
Fine here on my honda crv 2018 and my wifes Kia
I tried 4 different USB c cables. And my OnePlus 7 pro works perfectly with 1 of them and not at all with the other 3 (including the OnePlus Red one).
Can see any difference between the cables apart from length...the one that works is only 50cm long.
Works just fine for me here on a 2017 Seat Leon, 2018 Seat Ibiza and 2019 Nissan Micra.
Note: I realized that enabling ADB debugging causes issues with Android Auto.
Also, check your permissions for the Android Auto app.
every time I have had issues with AA it has been a cable problem, lets not get into the fact that Google decided to route some audio through USB and some over BT...that was STUPID. I dislike apple but the "function" of carplay makes AA look like a bugger
Skoda Superb OP7PRO
Hello
I can not connect OP7 pro with Columbus system in Skoda Superb, I was using red cable which was delivered together with phone. Anyone have an idea how to fix it?
Check the firmware version on your AA unit. Updating it can help solve alot of issues i found.
For anyone still following this thread; I tried for days to get my Android auto working on my OP7 pro. I even rooted the phone and installed LineageOS, tried various cables that I owned. The car was fine as it worked flawlessly with my Pixel 2.
It eventually came out as being a cable issue. Even the red cable provided by OnePlus didn't work. I bought EasyAcc short usb to usb C cables and it now works, though I also have the usb default as File Sharing, unknown sources on, and resolution up to 1080p (Android auto developer options).
I've since put the phone back to stock OxygenOS and it still works.
I hope it helps someone else who's stick, as I had almost given up hope!

Hmmm I just bought a 2019 Nissan Maxima SR 3 weeks ago and I just plugged in my OP 7 Pro with the red cable that came with my dash car charger (Dash not Warp) I bought with my OP 5 when OP5 launched and AA works flawlessly. It downloaded AA on my phone automatically paired and works. To my surprise, it works with all my 3rd party apps as well. Textra, Bluemail, Whatsapp and Player Pro Music player, Google Assistant as well as Google Maps and Waze ofc.
No idea why people have issues and others don't. AA installed in the cars are the same version correct?
I should add that I'm on Stock OOS 9.5.11 Rooted with TWRP and EX Kernel installed.
Android Auto works perfectly with my 2019 Chevy Traverse and my wife's 2019 Chevy Equinox. It hasn't mattered what cable I have used either.

Hello,
Anyone managed to make AA work on their S22 Ultra?
I know it's a known topic, but seems that no debeloper (Samsung or Google) cares to make it fix...
Before answering, please note that i have already tried to clear AA cache and data, to disable/enable the app, tried different apk versions, tried different cable, and no luck at all!
My A21S, Oneplus 6t and Onplus 8 worked fine, so is not an issue from the cars (Skoda Kamiq or Skoda Ovtavia IV).
Any ideas? It's frustrating that such an expensive phone doesn't have Android Auto working...
Thanks!
I have tried everything (I believe) to make it work but still, AA is not working. I gave up and I will wait for another software update.
last time I checked it worked perfectly

Dang. I always had a problem with WAA on my s21 ultra. Was kind of hoping they had fixed it.
Forgot to mention an important detail: EU variant (with Exynos, not 8gen1)...
Also tried both, wired and wireless, and is not working.
AA icon appears in notification panel for 1 sec, then it crashes... While on head unit, it's loading the connection, then sais it is failed
Strange, for me it works but it takes ages (like a minute or two) to load the homescreen each time. Afterwards it works normally. The sound works right on. Wireless AA, Exynos, EU
works great here out of the box with Nissan Sentra. Wired...
cheers
Clear the cache and data from the android auto app, then remove your phone completely from your car. Try adding it again. That worked for me. However, I'm on the SD variant, and using AAwireless. As for that, I had to put it on passthrough at first, then AA pushed an update and it worked without.

2019 Lincoln Nautilus with Sync3 working fine. Always delete your old phone(s) from the vehicle before pairing the new one.
AAWireless module working fine as well. Did a reset on the module and had it up and running in a minute.

Mine works (2021 RAV4 XSE Hybrid), but I have to say every voice command twice. The first time I say it, there's a 15-20 second pause, and I get "Oops, something went wrong with the network connection, please try again later". I repeat it right afterwards and it works fine. It's a pain in the damned ass.
Same thing is happening with the S22 and the S22 Ultra. Lots of people complaining on Google's forums about S22 issues.
It seems to be a common issue, my Pioneer DMH-Z5350BT goes to the black screen when I connect my SD S22 Ultra.
Hopefully, there will be a fix soon!

Agree on the timing, but I never really cared since I always wait for everything on the car to fully load before I drive.
Only thing that's gone wrong was two days ago. I didn't have my cord, so I was on Bluetooth. For the first time ever, it said device was not available when I would switch to Bluetooth in the car. They were both connected - and still connected. I cleared cache and data, unpaired both ends, rebooted phone restarted car, re-paired, but nothing. Was the only time that has ever occured to me.
Good Day Amazing People!
I have recently switched from samsung note 8 to s22u.
My wired android auto on pioneer DMH-Z5150BT worked like charm with note 8, even my partner's s8+ and s20u.
But when I connect s22u it goes into black screen.
I have tried quality connecting cables but no luck.
Please help me fix the problem.
Thanks In Advance!
tried different versions of AA apk?
Sounds like you got a duffer like me.
Finally got my preorder ... is AA bad for everyone else?!
Holy smokes... Android Auto is driving me crazy nuts on this S22 Ultra. Tried the offical cable from my Note9, and two expensive aftermarket ones and all 3 display a laggy, mess. Trying to use Waze and Android Auto as a whole is unbearable on...
forum.xda-developers.com
If you leave it on black screen for approx 10-15mins it will get to install, but then it'll be less than 1 fps and unusable. So much so, I've been tethering to my note9 which works brilliantly even after 4 years of service.
I've tried about 6 different cables so far, but none seem to work. im getting a $40 3.1usb c-a cable over the weekend to try that as a final straw.
Your suggestions and comments are highly appreciated!
When the data cable is plugged in it won't start until updated. I followed the instructions it goes to black screen.
Both my phone and stereo system is on warranty, I am unable to identify the issue.
Please advice if anyone have a FIX!
I had to use the factory cable along with an adapter, usb-a to c, to get my phone to work with AA. There are still occasional hiccups, but they are few and far between.
I've seen so many report similar AA issues, I recall the reply from samsung was that the phone was not compatible with the Pioneer device and was suggested that they reach out to Pioneer to update or something of that sort.
try previous versions of AA from apkpure\apkmirror
Mine worked with a Highlander / JBL factory head unit, but not on my truck with a Pioneer. I don’t think it’s a cable issue since there’s enough bandwidth to play YouTube videos on the pioneer using Pioneer’s goofy web link app using whatever cable.
I had strange issues with AA with my 2019 Honda Pilot. AA with pixel 6 won't work except with the cable that came with older pixel phones. Note 10, Note 20 Ultra as well as S22 Ultra all either disconnect or don't recognize the phone with the same cable. They work fine when a cheap thin cable.
I have no issues with my S22 Ultra connecting to my Hyundai Santa Fe. It had been a while since I connected it since I have built in navigation and was surprised by the update to the interface. Need to play around with it some more, but it is much more functional than before.
S22 is known to have AA issues with several headunit including Pioneer. Blank black screen.
..good nows guys
android auto have updated today with version 7.7.121904 which has fixed the black screen issue with my pioneer head unit.
But I am not able to locate google maps or waze.
Is anyone facing the issue?
Thanks in advance!
Updated here, still 1 fps.

So, it looks like the AA v7.7 beta fixes the black screen issue on some Pioneer head units, but at the same time, causes the same issue on other Pioneer units where there was no problem with the non-beta. I have a Pioneer AVH-3400NEX in one car and a Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX in another car.
The 3400NEX gives me a black screen with the non-beta version(although you can still hear audio, etc). The beta fixes the issue completely.
The 4660NEX works perfectly with the non-beta (v7.5.62...), but when I install the v7.7 beta, I get black screen on the 4660NEX(but audio works) . . .
Any thoughts on this?
Edit: By the way, AA works perfectly on both head units when connected with my old S10 running non-beta AA.

Android Auto has several known issues. It is not necessarily a problem with your phone. Other devices are having issues too.

Samsung Galaxy S22 problems and how to fix them
Like any new phone, the Galaxy S22 series has its fair share of issues. Here's a look at some Samsung Galaxy S22 problems and their fixes.

I had some issues with mine but i resolved it. I have a 2020 Honda CRV and the first time I set it up everything worked flawlessly. Then a couple months later it wouldnt connect thru the port with the cable. Tried multiple cables nothing happened. Then finally I noticed the Bluetooth wasn't on. Before when I connected to the car port it would always turn bluetooth on automatically and it wasn't doing that anymore. So what I did was turn on bluetooth, reboot the phone and then plug it back in and it worked again. Also make sure you dont have any other phones paired on your car that might be interfering. That happened to me about 3 times when it wouldnt connect and turning on bluetooth rebooting phone then plugging it back in always made it work again.
On my skoda superb 2017 i had problems with AA all the time restarting. charging was ok but i couldnt get google maps navigation on the radio. Then i bought new cable and now it is ok
Tried several tips from all the places, nothing work... S22 plus have the same issues on my car like s22 ultra, but s21 plus is ok...think to stay on s21 plus or so...
From samsung help told me that i must contact google because they ar the producer of app, no way to get an proper answer from google or samsung. Maybe in future updates they solve something.

Does android auto starts and then disconnects? If you have an old pixel phone cable or a thick cable try with that. Also set battery to unrestricted. Do you by any chance have a wireless charger in car and keeping the phone on the wireless pad when trying to use android auto? I have seen issues with aa when I keep the phone on the wireless pad occasionally with my Honda Pilot.
Doesn't connect at all, i dont have wireless charging in car, conection is by cable, messages is "connection failed", calls and media works great.

Mine works fine in my Ford Focus 2018, i have a Snapdragon version and use the AA Wireless box.
But, yesterday i saw an article about AA and around all the problems many people have with the Google Maps. Now they allowed us to use "Waze" in AA to. I tried it today, worked like a charm to.
Try it out then?

Try the app "Waze" they updated AA some days ago and now we can use Waze. They did it because of all the problems people have
I tried it out today, worked 100%, but so do the G maps (in my car).
