Hoping to pick up a car which has Smart link. I can use Android auto to use Google maps and other apps. However, I think I read something about there being a problem with the xiaomi mi a2 lite and android auto. Does it work fully or was there a problem that's hopefully now fixed?
Yes, of course it does. Just make sure you have a good quality USB cable (as advised by Google)
Ok. Thought I read something about the android auto screen not filling the in car screen fully.
Works...but Maps isn't Fullscreen Mode, Apple Carplay is Fullscreen...dont know how to activate Fullscreen
Mi A2 Lite with Jaguar InTouch Pro
Just got my new car. Every time I connect via USB and press android auto, this pops up on screen "Connection will be established via Android Auto. The device can no longer be used as a source in 'media'"
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT - it's ok, got it working. Had to go into settings, connected cars, forget rejected cars (which listed mine!) and uninstall android auto, reinstall and start again.

I'm planning to buy this from rn4. Someone says that android auto is faulty. Truth?
On my Seat Ateca I used, without any issue whatsoever, an Asus Zenfone 3 for over an year.
Unfortunately, my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global is a pain in the ...
I have tried tons of different (quality) cables, including the original Xiaomi one.
Tried with developer options, MTP, starting AA before connecting, after connecting, while connecting, opening AA, closing it, sitting, standing, breathing, laughing...
Never found the reason why, once in a lifetime, it decides to work. It took me from 5 mins to 20 to have it running.
A real pain!
Disable dualapps
In my case I could connect with my original cable, no issues, you just need to disable the "dualApps" thingy, but I have other issues.
1- Waze when using the android auto, can look for directions start navigation it even calculates the time and traffic, but the position won't move, on the map, my position is always displayed on the starting point, but I get audio notifications, ODD!
2- Spotify, every time I connect the cell phone to the android auto, I'm getting a screen that says "Update something" and I cannot use Spotify unless I restart the phone (even if it's working fine on the device)
A redmi note 5 new, I used android auto on a Zenfone 3 for a year or so with no issues.
I figure out how to fix these issues, more or less:
1. Be very sure that for spotify and waze, the battery rules are set to allow everything (not automatically optimized). Our phone use to shutdown background applications for battery optimizations (so, no more waze gps location). Same for spotify.
2. Enable for android auto, spotify, whatsapp and waze the automatically launch on start.
hi, I have same problems with my RN5 Global and my Ateca. tried lot of Roms, all of them needs up to 10 minutes to connect. I have tested other phones, S7, A5, no problems. only RN5 have this problems. it seems to have MTP issues in the firmware
I have a OnePlus 7 pro phone, with Android 10, and my car is has an XTRONS head unit running the Malaysk rom with Android 9.
Does anyone know how to disable android auto from starting every time I connect via Bluetooth? None of the posts (solutions) online work, or are even available for me to try (menus aren't there, etc.).
Help?!
how did you even get it to work via bluetooth to start with!
Great question! I didn't do anything specifically to enable it. But every time I Bluetooth connect to my head unit, it starts Android Auto on my phone. DRIVING ME NUTS.
Is this a OnePlus-specific feature?
In XTRONS the Android Auto is called MultiPlay. There is a way to disable MultiPlay. settings -- car -- Factory settings(126) -- other -- car play --Choose "no"--apply-- Exit -> reboot by holding rst hardware button for 10s.

Its still not Android auto...
Are you sure that Android Auto is starting? My Xiaomi Mi 10T only starts some kind of a welcome message "Android Auto is available in this car, do you want to connect?" when I am linked to the bluetooth...

Ok, could be, but in my Xtrons headunit it's acting like Android Auto though it's called MultiPlay, and working fine. Android Auto, as an app is not visible in the app-overview. Why should that be this way?
@Klussenpunt - Thanks for the insight! I found the setting under Factory Settings, and turned it off, but my phone still does the same thing. I have taken these (extreme) measures with no luck:
Disabled the factory setting (as you pointed out)
Unpaired my phone and deleted it from the head unit
Booted my Android head unit into recovery, wiped EVERYTHING and restarted
Verified that the factory setting is still set to No/Off
Re-paired my phone
I still get Android Auto launched on my phone when I connect. UGH.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on why this keeps happening?

Have you tried removing the cache and memory from the Android Auto app in your phone, after that you can disable Android Auto making contact with new Android Auto requests.
@Klussenpunt - That idea (removing cache/memory) was what got me to my final answer. It dawned on me that if I could find the "app" in my android settings (because Android Auto doesn't show as a normal app, it is hidden) then I could disable it.
Sure enough, I was able to get to the list of apps and services installed, found it, and did two things:
Removed all cache and storage
Disabled the service
Boom! Now when my phone connects via bluetooth, the Android Auto mode does not start up.
Thanks soooo much!

What was the app name? Multiplay or Android Auto?

On my Samsung Note 9, the app is just listed as Android Auto in the normal apps. Depending on your device, you may have to check the option to view all system apps in order to see and disable it?
Recently I installed the MMI interface into my wife's vehicle, the MMI brings the Android Auto to vehicles, where it was not supported from the factory
https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1675929
After some struggles it works pretty well with my wife's P20 Pro, however with mine Mate 20X I usually get the central section in the car's display black - see the picture. and only left and right are showing the phone is connected. Usually the only remedy is to clear the AA data to initialize it again, then it works very well until the car gets sleeping (the MMI is switched off the power) and starting agian (the MMI boots from switch off)
What I did:
I bought the good cable at the begginning - and with my wife's P20 Pro its working almost always.
I checked in android dev options the usb debugging - it was switched off during the time we have the car ready for AA (saw in some forum the usb debugging has to be off)
I changed in AA dev options the video resulotion to 720p (default value is no option selected) - no impact, I got that hint from MMI forum
The pictures from show events when my phone was working - even the dark mode when car's light are on and the full set of my AA apps. I tried 3 most recent versions of the AA from APK mirror, because in our country the AA is not enabled in play store yet. I think the only difference between versions I tested (but I'm not sure it was caused by those AA different versions) is the indication of the phone's battery and phone network might be in the right section or center section of the vehicle's screen.
The main use cases for us:
having the phone content on the car's display and controlling it by car's controls instead of the touch screen
Waze (real time optimal route finding based on the current traffic and speed traps)
hands free
some music/video for 4 years old daughter
1 - 3 are must haves, the 1 is so much more convenient than just having the phone somewhere, we drive every day
I am using Stock Rom 12.5.3.0 RKHEUXM with the Poco F3. The wired Connection to my Car (Hyundai i40) is working very well. Now the problem: the Google Assistent sometimes asks a follow-on questions. In this case the microphone does not recognize any Input. Example: "Call Jenny". follow-on question from Assistent"Jenny at Home or Jenny at Work?" ...then the assistant waits for an answer, but the mic is not recognizing my answer.
USB-cable is fine. Works with Poco F1 and Samsung S21.
As far as I remember, it even worked with Poco F3 (earlier Stock Rom).
Are there other users experiencing same problem? What can Help?
Sorry, for my first post with even not knowing If it is the correct forum (or Android Auto?).
I have the same issue.
A further complication is that when connected (wired) the Android Auto display of the car won't fire up aps such as Tune in Radio etc. Says it's "Not working at present". If you pick up the phone itself and start the app manually, it then works on the car screen.
I only have the Poco F3 a short while and while it's an excellent phone otherwise this is frustrating.

I am not using AA the moment but I had a similar thingy a few months ago where opening an app (I believe it was Spotify) did not work with some similar error message.
I noticed after some attempts that at the same time (opening app in AA screen) I got some message on the phone asking to accept some safety disclaimer, which only showed on the phone itself.
If it worked before and now not I would always go for a clear cache/uninstall session with reboots.
Be sure to check out the following tweak app for AA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...er-the-ultimate-android-auto-utility.4194239/
Poco F5
MIUI 14.0.6 TMREUXM
Android Auto 9.4.631624
Car: Škoda Scala
Poco F3 worked flawlessly. F5 fails to connect. Tried different cables.
It correctly detects the phone on the car and prompts me to connect via AA or Mirrorlink.
On the phone, USB connectivity menu appears. I select data transfer / Android Auto.
And then the car tells me it failed.
Is this known? Is is a weird issue with car compatibility?
Any way to make it work by messing with settings?
Seems Android Auto works on EU Rom or other non-official ROMs. Marble doesn't have proper certificate so car's audio component cannot accept pairing and fails to establish a connection in wired mode. It is probably the reason it fails in wireless mode too.
What's "marble"?
Is this a bug that could be fixed by an update or deliberate?
I need to figure out if I should return this phone, as this is serious.
I'm having the same problem.
I am having the same problem. I tried with 3 different cables but the result did not change. I'm thinking of returning it. Incredible problem!!
My car Skoda Scala 2020
I've seen multiple reports associated with android auto,. i have poco f4 gt and getting the same problem right after I upgraded my phone to miui 14 and android 13. they are saying that it's from android 13 version cause all of them getting the issue has Android 13 ,, even in samsung phones and other brands, they are getting the same issue. The only similarity that I noticed is that they all have android 13 on their phone.
I have no experience with the stock rom.
I'm using Xiaomi EU and Android Auto works both wired and wireless mode. Even better than my previous Flip 3

good to know tho,, so aside from android 13 there might be another factor that affects android auto with most devices.
Got a generic reply from support, so it seems they are not really familiar with this or interested.
Please reinstall the latest update package to eliminate possible errors during installation. Settings - About phone - MIUI LOGO - 3 items - Download last update package.
Next, you can also check the functionality of the device in Safe Mode. To enable Safe Mode, you need to turn off your smartphone first, then press the Power Button and Volume Plus at the same time, once the Recovery Menu appears let go of the buttons. In the recovery menu, please select the Safe Mode option.
All third-party apps are disabled in Safe Mode and will not be displayed. If the device works fine, please reboot to exit Safe Mode and boot the device in "Normal Mode". Please then uninstall the last three apps that were installed and check the functionality again.
If the problem persists, reset the device to factory settings. Please note that before you factory reset the device, please backup your data first, otherwise all your data (pictures, videos, music, apps, etc.) will be lost.

I might finally consider custom rom, most likely xiaomi.eu, but I am really hesitant to do this.
There is a lot of uncertainty regarding warranty, and everything working, and conflicting reports about battery life and bugs. Most are seemingly happy, but there are lso reports of it not really working that well.
Or I might return it and wait and see what Nord 3 is priced like.
I know you've said you tried different cables. I was having connectivity issues with Android Auto when my previous phone (Poco F1) had no issues whatsoever.
I've been using an Amazon Basics USB 3.1 cable for a few days now and touch wood, everything is fine. Perhaps the Poco F5 is just very particular about what cables it uses.
Hm..
I suppose it's easier to try with that then to return the phone, though my current cable is 90 degree on one end for practical reasons, and I want a short one.
And some people online are reporting that it works on one car and does not on another, but I don't remember they said it was tested with the same cable.
But I could try. This is like a MUST feature. I would not buy a car without it, let alone a phone.
Though my car is C plug, so I have to try with random cables :/
Android Auto is definitely possible with the proper software. This is definitely a software issue and not a hardware issue. I will revisit this thread once a stable solution (not via custom rom) has been applied. Marble devices (Poco F5/Redmi Note 12 Turbo) should be able to use Android Auto starting from Android 13. Ig we just need to provide some feedback via SocMed so we can be heard.
Same problem with Skoda and Poco f5 pro miui14 latest.
Any known solution to come or throw this phone away ?
You can sell it, don't throw it away.
I might get the Nord 3 if they have an early sale. Though oneplus is allegedly prone to bugs. So I can't be smart about this, just reactionary.
Did you guys try a new cable? I never had problems with my F5 but as I wrote before it happened in the past with another phone and the solution was 1) change the cable 2) unpair the phone/car and pair them again from scratch
It's not the cable. I tried multiple different C-C cables, 2.0 and 3.1. I only have not tried 3.2.
It could be that for some reason it's not standard spec USB, so it does not work with all infotainment systems. There are a few posts about Škoda/VW specifically, but also Honda and some others. My car is USB-C, so maybe for some reason it only works in cars with USB-A?
It could also be MIU14 bug, as there are multiple posts about Xiaomi phones being upgraded to MIUI14 and having these issues, Poco F3 included, and I have that one, works fine with MIUI13. But it's again not all users of the same model, just some.
In my case, it definitely seems to be USB related, because the phone does charge, but keeps dropping connection. When I am charging, it does not. I just remembered I have not yet tried connecting to my laptop and see if it drops connection there, that would be an easy test.
My F3, MIUI13/12, works flawlessly.
I sent my to service, as there was also a post where someone sent a Xiaomi phone to service with the same symptoms and allegedly they fixed it.
It is frustrating to say the least, as it is a crucial functionality for me.
Unfortunately, I don't have any other convenient car I can try it on. Everyone I know has older cars, no AA :/
I mean some do, but nobody where I can try it conveniently.
Now I'm kinda optimistic, becuse the phone also can't be connected to a PC. Nothing happens. nd it also keeps reconnecting.
nd, when I was switching stuff over via cable from my F3, this did not work, so I had to use wireless option.
I say optimistic, because it appears it is clearly an issue with USB, so service might be able to solve it.
