Wireless Android Auto with Xtrons Headunit - MTCD Android Head Units General

Hi,
I bought a Xtrons headunit PBE90MTVL. Android Auto is working fine when connected with a usb-cable. I'm looking for a way to connect my phone (Andoid 10 at the moment) wireless to Android Car. My phone (Oneplus Nord) at this moment won't connect wireless. I understand that it will connect wireless when the phone it updated to Android 11, but only on 5 GHz frequency. My phone has 5GHz, but the headunit has only 2,4 GHz band.
How can I make a wireless connection to the headunit? Is it thinkable to place a 2,4/5 GHz dongle in the usb connector from the headunit. The headunit has Android 10 as well by the way. Or is there a way to connect on 2,4 GHz band with Android Auto?

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a MTCD/E ? OK, the Android Auto is not called Android Auto but MultiPlay. But it acts as Android Auto and connects fine with Android Auto on my phone.

Yes, it's MTCE.

As these units are not Android Auto, which screen mirror app are you having issues with?

In the headunits software it's not called Android Auto that much is right. It's called MultiPlay in the headunit, but it's acting exactly like Android Auto, my phone responds to it like Android Auto. Why is it you say it's not Android Auto?

Not 100% but I had this on Ownice unit and I got wireless to work once but it was in beta at the time https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-4-1-headunit-reloaded-for-android-auto-with-wifi.3432348/

HELP! Dasaita PX6 Max6 Headunit wont connect with iPhone Hotspot

I’ve purchased a Dasaita PX6 headunit. It’s advertised as Max6. Here are the specs:
Build number:
rk3399-userdebug 9 PQ2A. 190305.002 20190828.185647 test-keys
Kernel version:
4.4.167
#593 Tue Aug 27....
MCU Versipn
MTCE_HA_V3.30_2
I am also running an iPhone XS on iOS 13.2.
I’ve tested the hotspot on my iPhone with other decided and they are able to connect. I’ve also tested other iPhones on the Dasaita to see if it will connect to them. Unfortunately, I’m not able to get any iPhone to connect to the head unit. The head unit is able to connect to other SSID that are not iPhones. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!
Have you seen this?

Yes, I have. I've tried all the tips. Nothing. It's weird because the head unit can pick up other hotspots/wifi SSID, but it does not find my iPhone. Initially, I could see the iPhone hotspot. It says "Connected...Saved" - this repeats 3 times and then it goes away.
Is your hotspot configured for G and N?

Not sure - whatever the standard is for iPhone XS running iOS 13.1.2 - I assume it's AC...

There is no way I can configure this - it happens automatically in the background, configured by Apple.
Even with the new MCU 3.37 update, I still get this problem occassionally. I've been turning the personal hotpot on and off multiple times, before the wifi connects itself!

Dude! You’re luckier than I am! I have that MCU as well, but my hotspot is not found ever! After it’s found the first time, it connects, saves the SSID, and then never displays or connects ever again.
I think this is both an iPhone AND head unit issue. It’s weird because not only can I not see the iPhone hotspot on head unit while sitting in the car, but I can’t see it on other devices either. However, as soon as I walk about 5 feet away, I can see the ssid.
So weird.
Hmm, when you turn on personal hotspot for your iPhone, you got to make sure to keep the screen on, at the page where to turn on your hotspot to wait for the headunit to connect. Then keep trying multiple times, or change your hotspot password!

Could be the location of the WiFi antenna.
I had the same issue on my Samsung Note 10+, I had to turn off "Allow 5ghz" in my wireless sharing options advanced settings. Then my MAX6
connected.
I was having a similar issue with my iphone hotspot being found, but not connecting, just saying "saved." The was being caused by the bluetooth connection between the head unit (car kit) and the iphone. You need to go into the iphone's bluetooth connection settings for the head unit (car kit) by tapping the "i" icon and then turn off carplay in the settings there. This should allow the iphone hot spot to be found and connected to by the head unit. It worked for me.
Same for me... Sometimes, turning off and on the iPhone then connects. in some cases it connects immediately ... boh

I can't get wireless android auto working on my PX6 MAX 10.

Dasaita wifi & bluetooth connection issues

I have PX6-HA5393-MAX10-CP updated with the VIVID10. Loving everything about that, however I purchased a Cobra SC201 dashcam with 5.0 Bluetooth and dual band 2.4ghz & 5 ghz wifi. My head unit cannot recognize either of the dashcam's Bluetooth or wifi networks to connect. The dash cam is visible and accessible with other devices such as phone and laptop. Only the head unit can't detect the dashcams wifi or Bluetooth networks to connect. The head unit is 2.4 ghz wifi only and the dash cam claims it's dual wifi (2.4/5.0 ghz). Both claim 5.0 Bluetooth. I have tried manually adding and connecting to dash cams wifi using different encryption keys with no success. Same issue before update to VIVID10 also.

- The Bluetooth is crippled and only works for phones and certain obd adapters
- The max10 can't do 5ghz... only 2.4
- The camera software will not do wifi cams.

Bob,
Thanks for the follow up! Has anyone been able to successfully bypass the internal wifi/Bluetooth with USB wifi/Bluetooth adapter installs on these Android head units. I've read rumors of wifi bypass of others that know someone, but have yet to find any helpful links. Also not sure I follow regarding the camera software not doing wifi cams. Are you referring to Dasaita's DVR camera apps?

As far as I know... yes. The app is trained to look for cams on usb and on the dedicated dvr cam plugin. I have not been able to get it to look elsewhere for cameras.
From what I understand, some people have had LIMITED success with usb bluetooth adapters. Some have managed to get them recognized, but then they operate in the same crippled fashion. The bluetooth regardless of what bluetooth system you use, will only recognize phones and some basic obd2 adapters and as far as I know, no one has been able to work around that.... and this is not just Dasaita... but pretty much all of them.
would rooting fix this limitation?
Bump - anyone out there was able to get Bluetooth for anything other than phones/OBD devices to work with any of these Android head units?
I have tried three off-the-shelf Bluetooth dongles and playing with the BT "drivers?" in the list for BT under Factory settings (i.e Head Unit > Settings > Car > Factory Settings > BT).
No luck!

No, you cannot. See above posts.

Question Nokia G21 Android Auto

I recently got this phone and am having trouble getting "Android auto" to work with my car. I can assure you that my car is compatible, and the cables used work with every other Android phone I've tried.
Is there some issue with the Nokia G21? Does android auto work for any of you?
Same issue is with me... I am not able to connect my car's touch screen with Nokia G21 using android auto... earlier it was working with Pixel 4a (android auto) and iPhone (apple carplay) both... no solution yet
I am having the same issue with my G21 and Suzuki vehicle. My LG and CAT phones worked fine. - So annoying
