OMG I just want to say THANK YOU. I went to the Mazda dealership and they could not figure it out. they uninstalled, reinstalled, unpaired my device and repaired it, spent 25$ for a new cable which didn't change anything and at the end of it had 125$ bill for their "attempts". plus the reccomendation to buy a new CPU for over 1000$!! Thank the lord I turned that down and found this video all I had to do was reset the factory settings... only spent 150$ and wishing I had watched this first.
Great video! I promise you I was tearing out my hair trying to troubleshoot my Android auto until I ran into this video. The part where you explain how to allow for Android auto to connect to the phone automatically every single time is what fixed my problem. Thank you so much for this video.
Great video. I think AA is a massive problem for many users as shown by the comments all over the web. I have a 9 month old Kia Sportage 2020 (Australia) and a 6 month old Galaxy S20 Plus. I have had some experts look at this as well as the dealer (several times). I asked the dealer if they would "flash" the software but was told the software is current. Flatly the dealer told me AA will not work on current Sportages and this is reflected in the comments on line on several sites. My problem is I can connect to it but very quickly the car loses connection with the phone. Drops out. Then I get a warning message to reconnect the phone. Tried different phones, different cords, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated. Connected my phone wirelessly. You name it. An iPhone can connect to AA on my car and remain connected. I have had some very savvy guys looking at it. Must say I did not factory reset my car's software because that type of thing worries me and I suspect it will not help or I would do it. I put up my problem on the Kia website in an AA chat with almost identical comments like this. None at all abusive. Just statements of fact. Within weeks Kia took them down so I wonder how many others get their comments removed. So is it a bigger problem than we think? My thoughts after spending so much time on it is that it is a software issue. Somehow the software allows my phone to connect, sometimes for 5-10 minutes, but mostly for only 10-90 seconds then it loses connection. I get the warning on the car screen that my car cannot connect to my phone and I must reconnect it using the phone cable. I reconnect, the AA app on the car screen turns from grey to active and I can use AA for a brief period before it drops out again. Always the repeated connection drops out faster. So the phone can connect so I don't believe it is a phone fault. Just did a long trip. Couldn't do it before due to Covid and I had decided to forget AA and was going to use Google Maps on my phone and use the speaker. AA was not connected but I got a massage that Google could not connect while AA was active. Yet the icon on the car screen was greyed. That was the final straw. I have uninstalled AA from my phone and will deactivate AA on the car tomorrow and see if that allows me to use G Maps. I will use the car manufacturer's maps and if I have to, use Google Maps with voice for destinations that I can't find on the car map. All legal and more updated than the car maps. My phone syncs with the car in terms of contacts etc so I can make calls by voice without needing AA to do it. I think if you have a problem then follow the video's suggestions. There are numerous other suggestions on other sites if you want to persevere. Basically they all follow a standard procedure of troubleshooting. Obviously a lot of members can get their problems fixed but I suspect a lot can't. I note the replies on this chat strongly advise the reset to factory default option. But first try different cords, different phones, uninstall and update. Check the phone app and the car app settings thoroughly. Some definitely need tweaking. If it persists then dump AA. Don't waste your time like I have done. You don't really need it. It's just nice to have if it works.
wow great comments sorry for you experience ... I don't use mine very often only for navigation really. and with covid limiting our travels I don't use nav nemorew
did you ever find a fix? I have a 2020 Hyundai, and a new S20+, and I have the EXACT issues you have. I had a S9 phone, I thought getting this newer S20+ would fix it.....NOPE....sad, I really like the idea of using AA screen a lot. Guess I have to get a mount for my phone and use GPS like I used to in my old car.
Factory Reset or deleting of any App DOES NOT HELP. You need a "High Speed Data Cable", sure, but even with that the S21 WILL NOT STAY CONNECTED TO ANDROID AUTO NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. So stop trying now, I already went down all "Avenues". Even the Techs at T-Mobil finally admitted it as we both tested multiple S-21 phones. It may work on new car radios that come in somewhat new cars? I dont know, what i DO KNOW! is if you buy a radio and try to use the S21 in Android Auto? FORGET ABOUT IT. I hear the S20 and the brand new S22 have the same issue. it is probably WHY THEY ARE GIVING THEM AWAY FOR PROMOTION!!!!!!! But like me? once you get it the S21 and sign on for a "Free Promotion"... YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT! (Wish i NEVER gave up my S9 for it)
4:19 - Yes to this solution. Only one that worked for me. Not just uninstall/reinstall Android Auto, but also the Google Play Music app. Restart phone after reinstalling both. Then you have to re-link Google Play Music to the music library on your phone. I just did this with my UConnect on 2018 Charger, and now music road life is back to normal. 🤙
It pops up on my radio for quick second, then dissappears, or will tell me to check for prompts on my phone when there are none. Works fine on my phone.
@@psychedelichippocampus6226 my car has a USB A female port and I was using the old cable from the S9 because its type a on one side. The S21 comes with a cable which is Type C on both sides so I used a cable creations converter for the cars USB port and am now using the new cable and it working perfect. Thanks for your response.
I bought a 2017 Buick Encore 3 days ago and spent hours trying to set up Android Auto. I kept getting an "Error" on my phone. I watched this video and got it working in less than 2 min. Thanks so much for your help!
Everybody else's phone connects to the android auto accept mine I have an android note 8 it's updated android 9 software all the other phones we've tried to androids in an iPhone everybody instantly connects except for me thank you and your videos are great
Hi, my problem is that the screen of my car has the android icon when I connect the phone, but when I try to access the app on my car screen is unresponsive.
For anybody that has been having issues with getting Android auto to play on their infotainment systems,(my specific error message when trying to connect was your device isn't compatible with Android auto) I figured mine out today! I have a Moto 7g Supra and a 2021 K5 car. My system is a 9.0 on my phone. So, on your phone, once you've downloaded Android auto go to settings then go all the way to the bottom to where it says version, and then click on it 10 times and it will ask you are you sure you want to go in system mode or something like that, click yes, which will enable a longer menu and options. Then go scroll up to where it says enable wireless projection. I checked that box and then went to my infotainment system and was able to click Android auto, whereas before it was darkened and unable to do anything when I tried to click it. Then, voila!! It works now! I do have to plug in my phone with the USB plug initially, otherwise my infotainment system just hung on trying to connect. I just used the USB cord that came with my charger. But I did find that once I'm driving I can unplug that cord and the Android auto still works. I have a brain lesion in the base of my brain, so hopefully this makes sense and I explained it correctly. If not just let me know.a.d. I'll try to explain better.👌💜
Hi, the issue I am facing is, that Android auto is showing fine on my phone but it's not coming on my car screen. I have tried multiple phones and USB cords but the issue remains the same. Any other tips to solve this..?
@@sspringss2727 Same happened to me in my Honda Accord. Go to settings; connections. Click smartphone connection, then reconnect to Andriod auto. My phone was already listed but disabled for whatever reason.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Did everthing right months ago but it didnt work. I gave up. Tried again after watching your set up video yesterday. Turns out it was the cord.
Thank you for your help, I went to the dealer and we just couldn't get it to work, I took 2 phones, and 3 cables, only 1 cable kind of worked, but then would cut off. ( I bought all my cables from Best Buy) The dealer decided to use her cable from Germany and BAM it worked, on both phones so in the end she gave me an extra cable to use and no issues any more (the cables were more sturdy and thicker) so even if you get your cables from Best Buy they may not be the best, however, it did work on my rented car. Thank you again you are the best ! !
Omg it drove me nuts not figuring out why my co-workers 2019 Honda Civic EX-L android auto wasn't working, even though I downloaded the app and gave it all permissions allowed. It turns out my coworker was using a really bad quality cheap short cable (12-16 inches long) that she got from a power-bank. Thank you so much for this video!
Just wanted to say thank you!! After weeks of trying to resolve an issue with my brother's truck not connecting..your video led me down the right path...lol This was a 2019 Ford we had to delete the previous owners phones. After that we where in...thanks again..
I get frequent disconnects from my galaxy s8 and my alpine lxw650 aftermarket radio. tried switching cables, firmware updates, reinstalling android auto ect. Is this head unit just faulty and I should look into a replacement?
Thanks for the help but i think after a week whenever i plug my phone it does not detect android auto after i switch off ignition again and again ,just pops only one time
I upgraded from a Galaxy S10e to a S21. Could not figure out why the newer phone wouldn't connect to android auto. It was just because I didn't first connect the Bluetooth. Awesome video, thanks for the easy fix!
My issue is AA seems to work RANDOMLY. Sometimes it loads quick, other times it doesn't ever want to open the app on my Jeep Compass. I am trying a new micro USB cable tomorrow so I am hoping that makes the app more reliable. Even when it does open, it's SLOW to change between Spotify and navigation.
Thanks Christopher. This helped fixed my issue. I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler and a Samsung Note 10. Adroid Auto suddenly stopped working for me. Followed your advice. I went into my infotainment setting > Phone/Bluetooth > Smartphone Projection Manager > Smartphone Device Mirroring. Some how "Smartphone Device Mirroring" was disabled/unchecked. Once i enabled/checked it, it works like normal everytime i hook up the cable to my phone. Thank you!
I was also having trouble connecting lately. I decided to use the USB chord that came with my Note 10 plus. Voila, it worked. Guess it didn't like the cable I was using from Amazon.
Ur awesome christopher... I couldnt connect to android update after the update this summer and tried resetting my car display system, switched USB cords, reinstalled AA. Pretty much gave up hope till I saw on ur video that phones can be enabled/disabled on the cars system. For some reason my phone was disabled and I reenabled it and it works!!👍👍👍
Thanks so much ! My note 10 stopped connecting to AA usb only (Bluetooth worked) after a phone update. And my note 8 worked. You helped me find the setting in two seconds!
I am unable to connect to my grand i10 sportz!! Getting below message on car touch screes: Unable to connect to android auto. please check your android phone if it's safe to do so. Please help.
I had my note 8 connected and working fine...now I have a note 9 and I cant get it to work...it says "android auto will resume when car is parked" my truck is parked and break on and from here it wont do anything ...what can I do?
I have a Samsung s21, no issue with AA on my car screen except it opens automatically to google maps & I prefer waze. I set waze as the default but on AA google maps appears as soon as I plug in the cord. How do I get waze to appear on the car screen with AA? thanks for any help.
My AA works great other than Pandora. Streaming is glitchy and skips a lot. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the updates since it will not let me uninstall the app entirely, went into the setting on my car and returned everything back to factory even though I just purchased it, went in and took off the media sharing permission in the bluetooth settings on my phone like the AA community website recommended, all of that for nothing. I have a 2020 Versa SV and am using my Samsung S9+, people on the AA website are saying it is something to do with AA itself and its partners? Something to do with the software from the manufacture of the vehicle and AA that are not jiving? anything else I am forgetting that you can think of? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks heaps mate, couldn't get mine to work although it was fine previously, just stopped... very frustrating because I really like Google maps & phone connections, as well as Spotify music to listen Ed Shearan all day : ) Followed your directions after removing and installing Android Auto and it works better than it did at first... thanks again Bro!
I bought the same Pioneer unit. Very frustrating! With 3 phones, it's pretty intermittent. What does work initially every time is clearing the cache of the Android Auto app (uninstall also works). However, this is pretty silly to have to do this every time you plug the phone in, really defeats the point. It's ok if going on a long drive but not when just popping to the shops and lots of short journeys. I also get screen corruption when the phone is used, sometimes it will clear eventually, other times it requires unplugging and replugging the phone. After the expense of doing this, i'm wondering if just slapping the phone in a vent holder would have been better after all.
communication error 8 : i spent 2 hours trouble shooting this with sprint cares on twitter today. SOLUTION: -Go to system, click advanced, then developer settings. [turn on] -Turn on / enable "show blue tooth devices without names" Then, Settings > Applications and notifications -CLEAR CACHE AND DATA ON "ANDROID AUTO" & "GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES" Then, - Update Google play services = back up and running. Hope this helps some of you and saves you an afternoon!
Was your usb charging still mine I turned car off and I came back out and it quit working. My usb charges but won't connect. I have a Rogue sport. These infotainment stuff is nothing but junk
"Starting with Android 10, Android Auto is built into the phone as a technology that enables the phone to connect to your car display. This means that you no longer have to install a separate app from the Play Store to use Android Auto with your car display."
Yes turn off the power mode or power saver on your phone because when you have it on it freezes the app because it shuts down the app and puts it into sleep mode so turn it off it should start working properly
Hey Chris, my wife has the most recent Samsung note phone and she’s driving a 2021 Acura RDX this vehicle has a tech package, she’s been having an issue where her android auto won’t connect more than 50% of the time, the cable is a Samsung cable that came with her phone, so we know it’s not the cable! Thanks for the video and for your time
@@carsunlocked follow me on Twitter and UNTAPPD 😉, works fine with apple phones, seems to be an Android issue 🤷🏽♂️ wife has deleted the app, reinstalled the app, and its still buggy, also did a reset to the Acura RDX infotainment center and still disconnecting itself and reconnecting itself to the Samsung phone!
I found the problem with my android auto disconnect. After changing cables many times. With no results. I remember when I was an audio tech many years ago. I applied electrical silicon grease to the USB connector side.No more random disconnect! worked for me.
I just got a 2019 honda crv exl and my android auto will connect and than keep randomly disconnecting some times after 20 min sometime after 5 minutes ive tried numerous wires any ideas?
Great video thank you! My problem is everything sets up okay, "I'll say okay Google call" and it makes the call. When the first call is done it will go back to playing music, but it stops making and receiving calls. So, basically I have to restart Android Auto after each first call is made or received.
Chris, I have a Galaxy Note 10 and a Subaru Forester. I have updated the software on my phone and took the car to the dealership. The software on the car was updated as well. I have Samsung original cable. When I turn on the car, the Android Auto button flashes on the dashboard for a moment. I click on it, it opens and appears to work for a few seconds and then it turns off. I have followed the instructions over and over again to get it to work to no avail.
@@carsunlocked The guy at the dealer had the same reaction you had. I did a factory reset on my phone. Now, when I connect the phone, I see on the phone the questions you get when you setup the app for the first time. I go through them and the app appears to work on the car for about a minute or less. Then it goes away again. I disconnect and reconnect the phone and the same thing happens. The guy at the dealer said something about settings on Google. Does that matter? A few months ago, I changed the security settings for my Google accounts because I was tired of them "spying" on me. Will that affect the app?
Do not enable Photo or File transfer before AndroidAuto has first time connected to Car! This seemed to fix Suzuki Vitara 2020 and Huawei P Smart connection issue. So your video helped :) i was watching it and not enableing File Transfer (y)
I've tried many cables, different lengths and quality. I tried my wife's phone which uses a USB-C cable and it worked perfectly. I guess it works better with newer phones.
@@carsunlocked Hi could you help me i have an Huawei mate 20 pro and live in the UK. I plug my phone into my infotainment on the Suzuki vitara Szt it charges my phone but on the infotainment it says no phone connected even tho i can connect on Bluetooth and use it to make calls its confusing.
If anyone has Kenwood DMX model problems, there's a reset android/iphone auto in the settings. Not sure why it all of a sudden stopped working for me, but resetting worked as a solution.
Thank you so much for this video. My android auto stopped working after a few weeks of it working. Turns out the car disabled it and I had to re-enable it through the car app settings.
How do you re-enable it? I guess it depends on the stereo. I have tried numerous cables, resetting stereo to factory, upgrading the stereo firmware, updating the phone app, updating the phone OS... I have an Oppo X2 find neo. Stereo says ”usb device not supported”
@@danielevans8334 nope. Still got the problem. Not happy. Google did contact me to share info on the problem but they said they were going to send me info but they didn't. I've tried everything. My Huawei works no probs....
Haha! Yeey! I fixed it! This is what FINALLY worked for me after doing all the other stuff other people did, that didnt work for me: Installed Google Play Music plugged phone in to Uconnect (2018 Ram truck) and wooahllaaa, it worked! Sounds crazy but seems "google play music" has to be on the phone for Android Auto to display on the Uconnect. Whooda thought?! I got the idea from another forum where someone said thier Android Auto stopped working and it only started working again when they uninstalled and reinstalled Google Play Music after clearing Cache didnt fix it.
Android auto worked fine in my car using my Sansung S10 but after the android 10 update it stopped working? I've tried many different cables and my friend has a Samsung S9 and it loaded up instantly when he plugged his in. I believe the android 10 added android auto as a standard app? Seems be to since then that I just stopped
I got my Samsung Galaxy phone calls to work on the car speakers by changing my phone setting to "headset" instead of "speaker" or standard. If you have a Mazda you might need to make sure you are parked with your parking break on. I think I tried setting this thing up without engaging the parking brake and some options weren't coming up - but it was so confusing that might not necessarily have been the case - but put the brake on like the instructions say anyway.
Hi I have a problem where my phone connects fine but it will not play audio from Spotify but if I bring up Google assistant I can hear my Spotify music in the back ground, I have a OnePlus 6t with the factory usb cable on a 2019 Corsa. Many thanks
If you have tried all these tips and none of them work you can also change the USB configuration on your mobile. Go to Settings then scoll down to Developer Options. Look for USB configuration and select an option other than Charging. Highlight MPT or PTP or Audio Source etc. This worked for me when I had to switch to an older phone that was out of use for some time.
Hi, my problem is with the new update everything works fine in car, but my on phone it keeps opening up app and I have to exit...I went into settings under screen on.it was on always on and I switched it too use device default....should I leave it on Default or always on? Thank you...😎
Been fiddling around with android auto on a 2020 crosstrek and it has been a horrible experience. Its either usb plugged in for google maps but no media, or run in on Bluetooth to load media but no google maps! Amazing technology, I gave up and went old school with a phone mount and USB. Ideally I thought I would be able to use the usb to connect my phone to use navigation and play my music without the use of Bluetooth but cant seem to figure it out.
Have you tested a Nakamichi NA3605? I am having problems running Android Auto on this head unit. I have tried a number of times, including the tips you have mentioned here. I am going to buy another USB-C cable from Best Buy and will try again.
Hi, i have a citeron c3 aircross 2018 plate. My phone is Samsung S9 and andriod auto doesnt work. Its showing that its already installed on my phone but doesnt show the option to open it? I have tried to install again but i cant actually unistall it? My partner has tried in his phone and works straight away. It doesn't show any option to connect.
One thing unless I missed him saying this “ clear your cache on your android auto app ” on your smartphone and that fixed my my issue when it would not link and it was only charging and it quit on me and have always used it to listen to Spotify and my issue was fixed and good luck to any of you
I have a 2017 Ford Fusion. Everything works, except while driving the hands free will not all me to make a phone call verbally. It tells me to hit the notifications button and go to Google..... Evidently, somewhere I messed up my settings. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do? By the way, your videos are very informative and helpful.
Great video! AA is working but my car touch screen doesn't respond while using AA, even though it does respond when I use the car's system. My phone is LG G7
2020 Ford Ranger and a Google Pixel 5 w/Android 11 here: My problem is that I will connect it, all set up, works fine for a few days or weeks and then I'll connect it one day and it will randomly create a new car profile in the Android Auto app that's a duplicate of all my settings and everything from the original. Except it will ask for all the permissions again, and then it will work fine without much further issue. So I'll delete both profiles , do original setup all over again, and it will do it again, two profiles called 'SYNC'. I've also found that if I manually change the name of the first profile, it will turn around and make a second profile within my next 5 drives or so. So, I go to AA settings, delete all of the profiles, reinstall, factory reset, all of that, make the ONE profile I want to use and I turn off the "automatically connect to new cars" or whatever that toggle is called in AA profile screen. It will work fine for a few drives and then suddenly it will stop connecting to my truck and start acting weird, flashing AA and then dropping back to Ford Sync home screen sometimes, but usually showing no recognition at all. Until I go into my AA settings and turn on "automatically recognize new vehicles" or whatever name toggle and it will connect up and do the same thing as before and I'll have two "SYNC" named profiles on my phone, with no clue which profile it's actually using. As long as I leave the automatically recognize toggle on and leave both "SYNC" profiles there, it seems to work fine. How can I get it to just use one profile and just leave it?? My wife is looking to buy a new AA compatible car soon and I'm worried that I'll end up with like 6 profiles or something at this rate on my phone's AA. Please, someone HELP.
@@carsunlocked it's freaking weird. But like right now I have two profiles on my AA, both called SYNC, and it works fine as long as I don't change the name of, or remove, either of those profiles. It's really not a big deal as everything works fine as it sits now, it's just annoying, it's frustrating, and it's just plain confusing. I've tried seemingly every option or setting there is.
@@carsunlocked I've even factory reset my truck, and even tinkered with some developer USB settings on my phone. My phone was less than three weeks old when I got the truck and it had never been connected to another vehicle before either, so it has been run from practically a factory reset too.
Hello! I drive a Chevy Equinox 2021 and usually all I had to do was plug my phone into the car and Android auto would come up on its own. But yesterday it started charging but not connecting to Android auto, so I switched the cord and that didn't work. I'm going to try and see if another phone will connect but if it doesn't what can I do next? I have also tried switching the cord.
thanks a lot , even after connecting USB cable it says "Connect USB cable " and not able to do with Bluetooth.. but my phone is charging and music is playing using bluetooth.
My 2017 CX5 isn't on the list of compatible vehicles (I tried it and it doesn't work). Is it possible to upgrade any component of the CX5 so the Waze app can work thru the Nav system? Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thanks for your video. I still have an issue with my A70 Samsung, used to connect no problem to my Renault Clio car unit. now when i connect, it doesnt recognize the Android Auto app and it ask me if to "share data" through the USB connection. my other S10 Galaxy works perfectly with same cable and same unit. I tried to uninstall AA app, clear catch, reset my phone settings and even formatted my phone and nothing worked so far. what do you suggest me to try? thanks a lot
thanks for watching. All my recommendations are in the video. When you plug your phone in does it ask what you want to use it for? Charging, file transfer, MTP etc?
Hey guys just wanted to say that also check your settings on the android auto app on my truck for whatever reason would recognize then disconnect right away so I just played around with the app settings and boom back to normal so idk just my two cents
I have a question for you I have been trying to solve for weeks. I had the factory system replaced by a aftermarket linkswell system with nav and it was junk. I had the old system put back in. The installer hooked back up my old system and now my android s10 and galaxy 8 wont connect to the system. But I can get an apple phone to connect to car play. But not android's to AA I have everything updated. I have tried deleting google play data and caching and deleted Android auto and reinstalled. When my phone asks me for permission to allow ucconect access to my phone I click ok and it kicks over to the radio. It shows my phone in the mirroring option but its grayed out and not connected. My phone works in 2 diffrent other rams 2018 and a 2019 Laramie and a ford 150. But not my truck since the installer put back in the old system. I have tried all tips in this video also. Any ideas?

Glad i could help you
Great video. I think AA is a massive problem for many users as shown by the comments all over the web. I have a 9 month old Kia Sportage 2020 (Australia) and a 6 month old Galaxy S20 Plus. I have had some experts look at this as well as the dealer (several times). I asked the dealer if they would "flash" the software but was told the software is current. Flatly the dealer told me AA will not work on current Sportages and this is reflected in the comments on line on several sites. My problem is I can connect to it but very quickly the car loses connection with the phone. Drops out. Then I get a warning message to reconnect the phone. Tried different phones, different cords, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated. Connected my phone wirelessly. You name it. An iPhone can connect to AA on my car and remain connected. I have had some very savvy guys looking at it. Must say I did not factory reset my car's software because that type of thing worries me and I suspect it will not help or I would do it.
I put up my problem on the Kia website in an AA chat with almost identical comments like this. None at all abusive. Just statements of fact. Within weeks Kia took them down so I wonder how many others get their comments removed. So is it a bigger problem than we think?
My thoughts after spending so much time on it is that it is a software issue. Somehow the software allows my phone to connect, sometimes for 5-10 minutes, but mostly for only 10-90 seconds then it loses connection. I get the warning on the car screen that my car cannot connect to my phone and I must reconnect it using the phone cable. I reconnect, the AA app on the car screen turns from grey to active and I can use AA for a brief period before it drops out again. Always the repeated connection drops out faster. So the phone can connect so I don't believe it is a phone fault.
Just did a long trip. Couldn't do it before due to Covid and I had decided to forget AA and was going to use Google Maps on my phone and use the speaker. AA was not connected but I got a massage that Google could not connect while AA was active. Yet the icon on the car screen was greyed. That was the final straw. I have uninstalled AA from my phone and will deactivate AA on the car tomorrow and see if that allows me to use G Maps. I will use the car manufacturer's maps and if I have to, use Google Maps with voice for destinations that I can't find on the car map. All legal and more updated than the car maps. My phone syncs with the car in terms of contacts etc so I can make calls by voice without needing AA to do it.
I think if you have a problem then follow the video's suggestions. There are numerous other suggestions on other sites if you want to persevere. Basically they all follow a standard procedure of troubleshooting. Obviously a lot of members can get their problems fixed but I suspect a lot can't. I note the replies on this chat strongly advise the reset to factory default option. But first try different cords, different phones, uninstall and update. Check the phone app and the car app settings thoroughly. Some definitely need tweaking. If it persists then dump AA. Don't waste your time like I have done. You don't really need it. It's just nice to have if it works.
wow great comments sorry for you experience ... I don't use mine very often only for navigation really. and with covid limiting our travels I don't use nav nemorew
did you ever find a fix? I have a 2020 Hyundai, and a new S20+, and I have the EXACT issues you have. I had a S9 phone, I thought getting this newer S20+ would fix it.....NOPE....sad, I really like the idea of using AA screen a lot. Guess I have to get a mount for my phone and use GPS like I used to in my old car.
Factory Reset or deleting of any App DOES NOT HELP.
You need a "High Speed Data Cable", sure, but even with that the S21 WILL NOT
STAY CONNECTED TO ANDROID AUTO NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. So stop trying
now, I already went down all "Avenues". Even the Techs at T-Mobil
finally admitted it as we both tested multiple S-21 phones. It may work
on new car radios that come in somewhat new cars? I dont know, what i DO
KNOW! is if you buy a radio and try to use the S21 in Android Auto?
FORGET ABOUT IT. I hear the S20 and the brand new S22 have the same
issue. it is probably WHY THEY ARE GIVING THEM AWAY FOR
PROMOTION!!!!!!! But like me? once you get it the S21 and sign on for a
"Free Promotion"... YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT! (Wish i NEVER gave up my S9
for it)
Did you ever get a solution? I picked up my new car today and EXACTLY same problem so far! I'm worried it won't be able to be fixed!
Maybe it has to do with your carrier on your phone.
4:19 - Yes to this solution. Only one that worked for me. Not just uninstall/reinstall Android Auto, but also the Google Play Music app. Restart phone after reinstalling both. Then you have to re-link Google Play Music to the music library on your phone.
I just did this with my UConnect on 2018 Charger, and now music road life is back to normal. 🤙
Hey glad it all worked out thanks for watching!
It pops up on my radio for quick second, then dissappears, or will tell me to check for prompts on my phone when there are none. Works fine on my phone.

Hint for Android users: Make sure USB debugging is turned on, under developer options. Settings - Developer Options - Debugging.

Hi, my problem is that the screen of my car has the android icon when I connect the phone, but when I try to access the app on my car screen is unresponsive.
Same problem here.
I swapped my USB cord for the one issued by manufacturer, and it worked like magic.
Hi@@reneedick when you say manufacture then what comes with Samsung? Please confirm
@@neeleshapatil yeah, I believe it was the cord that came from Samsung. I was using a cheap one I bought from Amazon (that one did not work).

Good vid. Thanks!
lol your not the first person to say that
For anybody that has been having issues with getting Android auto to play on their infotainment systems,(my specific error message when trying to connect was your device isn't compatible with Android auto) I figured mine out today! I have a Moto 7g Supra and a 2021 K5 car. My system is a 9.0 on my phone. So, on your phone, once you've downloaded Android auto go to settings then go all the way to the bottom to where it says version, and then click on it 10 times and it will ask you are you sure you want to go in system mode or something like that, click yes, which will enable a longer menu and options. Then go scroll up to where it says enable wireless projection. I checked that box and then went to my infotainment system and was able to click Android auto, whereas before it was darkened and unable to do anything when I tried to click it. Then, voila!! It works now! I do have to plug in my phone with the USB plug initially, otherwise my infotainment system just hung on trying to connect. I just used the USB cord that came with my charger. But I did find that once I'm driving I can unplug that cord and the Android auto still works. I have a brain lesion in the base of my brain, so hopefully this makes sense and I explained it correctly. If not just let me know.a.d. I'll try to explain better.👌💜
Can't say THANK YOU enough. All I had to do was authorize Android Auto and SHEZAM it worked. Great video. No make that AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your help, I went to the dealer and we just couldn't get it to work, I took 2 phones, and 3 cables, only 1 cable kind of worked, but then would cut off. ( I bought all my cables from Best Buy) The dealer decided to use her cable from Germany and BAM it worked, on both phones so in the end she gave me an extra cable to use and no issues any more (the cables were more sturdy and thicker) so even if you get your cables from Best Buy they may not be the best, however, it did work on my rented car.

i dont think this is possible?
My AA works great other than Pandora. Streaming is glitchy and skips a lot. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the updates since it will not let me uninstall the app entirely, went into the setting on my car and returned everything back to factory even though I just purchased it, went in and took off the media sharing permission in the bluetooth settings on my phone like the AA community website recommended, all of that for nothing. I have a 2020 Versa SV and am using my Samsung S9+, people on the AA website are saying it is something to do with AA itself and its partners? Something to do with the software from the manufacture of the vehicle and AA that are not jiving? anything else I am forgetting that you can think of? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im having the same issue - the app works fine on my phone, but I'm having trouble with the app with the Pioneer SPH-DA230DAB. It just doesn't work.
Probably the cable there cords out there that are only charging. Make sure you have a cable that can transfer data
Same Pioneer, it worked the first time but will not connect after trying various things
I bought the same Pioneer unit. Very frustrating! With 3 phones, it's pretty intermittent. What does work initially every time is clearing the cache of the Android Auto app (uninstall also works). However, this is pretty silly to have to do this every time you plug the phone in, really defeats the point. It's ok if going on a long drive but not when just popping to the shops and lots of short journeys.
I also get screen corruption when the phone is used, sometimes it will clear eventually, other times it requires unplugging and replugging the phone. After the expense of doing this, i'm wondering if just slapping the phone in a vent holder would have been better after all.
This helped a lot, thank you! 2019 Titan that i just bought.

-CLEAR CACHE AND DATA ON "ANDROID AUTO" & "GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES"

@@carsunlocked The guy at the dealer had the same reaction you had. I did a factory reset on my phone.

Then it goes away again. I disconnect and reconnect the phone and the same thing happens. The guy at the dealer said something about settings on Google. Does that matter? A few months ago, I changed the security settings for my Google accounts because I was tired of them "spying" on me. Will that affect the app?

2020 Ford Ranger and a Google Pixel 5 w/Android 11 here:
My problem is that I will connect it, all set up, works fine for a few days or weeks and then I'll connect it one day and it will randomly create a new car profile in the Android Auto app that's a duplicate of all my settings and everything from the original. Except it will ask for all the permissions again, and then it will work fine without much further issue.
So I'll delete both profiles , do original setup all over again, and it will do it again, two profiles called 'SYNC'. I've also found that if I manually change the name of the first profile, it will turn around and make a second profile within my next 5 drives or so.
So, I go to AA settings, delete all of the profiles, reinstall, factory reset, all of that, make the ONE profile I want to use and I turn off the "automatically connect to new cars" or whatever that toggle is called in AA profile screen. It will work fine for a few drives and then suddenly it will stop connecting to my truck and start acting weird, flashing AA and then dropping back to Ford Sync home screen sometimes, but usually showing no recognition at all. Until I go into my AA settings and turn on "automatically recognize new vehicles" or whatever name toggle and it will connect up and do the same thing as before and I'll have two "SYNC" named profiles on my phone, with no clue which profile it's actually using.
As long as I leave the automatically recognize toggle on and leave both "SYNC" profiles there, it seems to work fine. How can I get it to just use one profile and just leave it?? My wife is looking to buy a new AA compatible car soon and I'm worried that I'll end up with like 6 profiles or something at this rate on my phone's AA. Please, someone HELP.
wow i have never seen that before I am note sure what to do. All my solutions are in the video
@@carsunlocked it's freaking weird. But like right now I have two profiles on my AA, both called SYNC, and it works fine as long as I don't change the name of, or remove, either of those profiles. It's really not a big deal as everything works fine as it sits now, it's just annoying, it's frustrating, and it's just plain confusing. I've tried seemingly every option or setting there is.
@@carsunlocked I've even factory reset my truck, and even tinkered with some developer USB settings on my phone. My phone was less than three weeks old when I got the truck and it had never been connected to another vehicle before either, so it has been run from practically a factory reset too.

my other S10 Galaxy works perfectly with same cable and same unit.
I tried to uninstall AA app, clear catch, reset my phone settings and even formatted my phone and nothing worked so far.
what do you suggest me to try? thanks a lot
thanks for watching. All my recommendations are in the video. When you plug your phone in does it ask what you want to use it for? Charging, file transfer, MTP etc?
@@carsunlocked yes it does
Hey guys just wanted to say that also check your settings on the android auto app on my truck for whatever reason would recognize then disconnect right away so I just played around with the app settings and boom back to normal so idk just my two cents
I have a question for you I have been trying to solve for weeks.
I had the factory system replaced by a aftermarket linkswell system with nav and it was junk. I had the old system put back in.
The installer hooked back up my old system and now my android s10 and galaxy 8 wont connect to the system.
But I can get an apple phone to connect to car play. But not android's to AA
I have everything updated. I have tried deleting google play data and caching and deleted Android auto and reinstalled.
When my phone asks me for permission to allow ucconect access to my phone I click ok and it kicks over to the radio. It shows my phone in the mirroring option but its grayed out and not connected.
My phone works in 2 diffrent other rams 2018 and a 2019 Laramie and a ford 150. But not my truck since the installer put back in the old system.
I have tried all tips in this video also.
Any ideas?
Wow that's very interesting... Everything I mentioned in this video is all the solutions I could think of
Thank you for trying :)
