Android Auto issues? Or Nav HMI
Update May 16, 2022
I swapped out my cable for an Anker cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E9W8KYC...ing=UTF8&psc=1 The charging capability and data transfer rate are the same of the two cables but AA likes the Anker better. 6 hour drive recently and not a single issue. I also updated the infotainment MAPS from 2018 to 2022. No issues with the front facing camera/nav HMI. ___________________________________ Original Post: AA has always worked flawlessly for me until the last week. Changed cable, cleared cache, cleared storage, uninstalled/reinstalled. AA works fine my '21 TB. Anyone else having issues? My thought is this: I have a front facing camera (installed 2020) from gen5DIY and that requires a reprogrammed NAV HMI module. Could possibly the NAV module reprogramming not be compatible with a recent AA update? I've contacted the company, no response yet. Thanks.

What, exactly, are the issues you're having?
Does your radio support the OTA updates or did that start in 2019? Maybe check for software updates for the head unit and verify the version of AA running on the phone? |

I have problems from time to time. 1) the phone must be active / on the Home Screen 2) try a restart of your phone

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I wasn't more specific. Android auto pretty much freezes up within seconds of communication with the infotainment in the camaro. I do believe the 2018 supports over the air updates and I have checked recently. It says my system is up to date and no updates are available while connected to my home Wi-Fi. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current version of Android auto as recently as a few days ago of course always followed by more than one restart.. For reference purposes it is Android Auto: version 7.5.621364-release. I am running android 12 which is also up to date. |

If you pull up the info in the car, what version of the AA install is it showing? |

Also, make sure you don't have battery saver on.

If power management is on, AA is put into deep sleep. That may not necessarily get reloaded when charging.
I have this, no wires to deal with! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aawireless

Upon connecting a charger, the battery saver function should itself be "suspended", allowing the phone to come out of a Deep Sleep state since non-battery power is now available for use. |

The "original" version on the phone might be too old, so that's why I mentioned looking for the APK of whatever one version back might be, too.

Phone build date is Aug 2021. I'll try the rolled back version, but I did bookmark the previous versions android auto apks. I'll try 7.2 instead of the 7.5+ I had. I'm gonna go check here shortly. Wish me luck.

Thankyou for the suggestion though. I have wireless AA in my other vehicle and I do like it. |
