Does Android Auto work well on Redmagic 8 PRO? How's the music quality in the car? Maybe someone is using in Ford with Sync3?
No chance to get it working. Skoda Kamique and Kodiaq tells me, not compatible. So only calls via Bluetooth are possible. I'll try to Update the Skoda Software, but i think it is a problem with the phone
I'm using Android Auto with my Red Magic 8 Pro via AAWireless on my Skoda Superb no problems at all. Music quality seems fine to my ear and everything is functioning as it should.

Hey man, I have a redmagic 8 pro matte version and I have used it in my ford with sync3. This is the first android phone that I tried in my car so i don't have anything to compare to though. But I would say that it works well, no issues for me. I used it with waze and my downloaded music with AIMP. I haven't tried it yet with calls/video calls.
I still prefer iOS carplay though for the overall familiarity and smoother interface. I also don't like the big black bar at the bottom while waze is open in android auto, it just eats a lot of space.

My old nexus 4 worked perfectly with my car, full audio full meta data, full control etc, but that was with a 2010 car and a 2010 phone.
Now that I have a 2014 phone and a 2010 the communication between the two is flaky, I get full audio, no metadata and the control is hit or miss.
As a result is it possible to trick/install an older Bluetooth software (radio?) on my phone to try and recover the flawless communication between car and phone?
Cheers guys
Bump, just to see if anyone knows a way round this.

I dont think it has anything to do with that, purely just LG's optimisation for the firmware and bluetooth, my 2009 car is working perfectly with my gf's 2014 iphone 6+
so it should't be any problem with my G3 but, when i had the V20A it was all fine, but when i just flash it to V20D i have the same problem as you, i got that problem when in KK as well.
try auto audio in play store, its not perfect, but it can help for the meta data......and my car only has problem with showing the title, never has problem with control..
Since the Android 5.x update on my Note 3 and now the Note 7 Samsung did something to jack up the blue tooth stereo controls (so If I use apps like Media Monkey or Power Amp) that when connected to the car stereo, I cannot use the car stereo to forward, go back, etc through the songs in the play list.
Is there a fix for this, that probably is my biggest issue, I don't want to have to pick up the phone every time I want to change songs over blue tooth. Gotta keep eyes on the road......
I'm not sure how you're connecting. I have an Infiniti and I don't seem to be suffering this issue. It's compatible whether I do this through the phone or through my car's controls.
Works fine for me too. Using an aftermarket kenwood 419 head unit

I am using a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X998. When the Note 3 came out with Android 4.x and connected to the head unit over bluetooth the album, song title, artist,etc call came over from the mp3 or flac files on the phone and I could use the kenwood back and forward buttons to move through the music on the phone. It stopped working when Android 5.x was pushed out to the phone. I talked to Kenwood about it and they said that they were not aware (but they are now they are aware of the fact that Samsung did something), like made their own new commands to send the information over blue tooth that were not part of the stock android os and that is why compatibility was lost.
I just want my text and controls back.

On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3 and a note 5 work just fine. Very disappointing.

I have a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT head unit, which worked fine with my Nexus 6p, GS5, Sony Z3....but only receives audio from my Note 7, no Music Info or Control over next/previous song.
It kind of sucks, but I'm loving the phone...
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
Note 3, edge and this N7 have all played nicely with the car, admittedly it's pretty basic OEM BT integration. Vehicle can control the phone no worries, though.
The only time I have this problem is when my smartwatch tries to take over the controls.
November update seriously broke android auto on our phones. Has anyone tried the December update yet and checked to see if its working again?
What did November break?
Yeah, never had a single problem and I use AA every day
Same, but use cases might be different. OP should clarify and then we can see.
Not sure what the problem is/was but Android Auto fixes are listed for December.

When i updated to november last month i could not use AA at all in my 2017 honda crv. It would charge and thats it. I went back to october then it worked again. I will try december update and the AA update. Hope it doesnt break again
For me it is still not working. Opel Astra Infotainment 2017 HUN. Android auto start up and stops. Car not detect the phone. With iOS it is working perfectly and sadly... I still have to use the SE for navigation
You could always use Android Auto on the phone's screen. Works just fine. It's what I do with my non-Android Auto car.

Defeats the purpose when you have a car that supports AA. Anyways, December update and the new AA fixed everything

I will have to try the December update as well. My problem was that if I used waze and amazon music at the same time, the sound level in the music would repeatedly increase and decrease, making it impossible to listen to a song.
Never mind, I see it's resolved with the newest update.
I just really wish they'd fix the volume streaming on Sync 3. Anytime I'm listening to Google Play Music and use a voice command the audio volume stream for GPM jumps to the voice volume stream. I have to press the voice command button again to get audio to play on the audio stream. Been like this for a very very long time.
Dec update broke my Pixel 2XL's Android Auto
'sNo problem w/ Nov update, but Dec's broke my Pixel 2XL's link to Android Auto of Honda Clarity PHEV.
After 2 days, still cannot run map navigation from phone's Google calendar/contacts to car screen.
However Pandora on the Pixel 2XL finally punched thru to car system,. EVEN WITHOUT being USB wired --- I mean it now shows up on car's screen with my in-app Pandora radio stations which I can select from the car controls. Did not see this Pandora behavior previously, but maybe it is coming thru via Bluetooth.
Mapping connection from phone to Android auto is more important for me. Hope this is fixed soon.
Delete AA on your phone and delete the phone from the car completely then start fresh. You can always go back to november too or whichever one worked
Hi,
Today I paired my Redmagic with my car over bluetooth, but when I tried to play music I had no sound. Device was connected as it should be.
I tried to play it over youtube and soundcloud, no difference.
Could anyone please try so I can see if thats another software bug or its problem with me? Thanks
Note: I have 12gb version

Paired with car ok here (2019 acura stock unit)
same issue. no sound
Im having the same issue!
I was on global RoM, no issues in terms of Bluetooth connectivity. But then replaced global with black magic, when I connect bluetooth devices that comes in pairs like airpods or jbl, video stutters and no audio, turn off Bluetooth and its going fine.
Also tried cn stock same issue.

my RM5g bluetooth wont search anything tried restarting, turning off and on bluetooth but nothing seems to work i rooted my phone and unrooted again but still nothing.. any solution??
I tried to see if anyone posted a similar question but haven't found anything. Is anyone else having issues with their Pixel 6 Pro while connected to Android Auto? I have 3 issues that are bugging the crap out of me.
1. Every time I connect my phone to the car, it always pops up asking permission to connect to this "new" uConnect device. Its been connected hundreds of times, and even adding it as a trusted device, it still pops up.
2. The sound quality is absolute garbage. Its muddy and heavy on the mid level. I have tried to compensate by adjusting the EQ in the head-unit, and Spotify. It helps, but not much. I have tried my old Note 10+ and the quality is perfect.
3. Often when receiving a phone call, I can answer and control the call using the head-unit, but the audio is going to the phone and not the car speakers.
I have been able to replicate this with both of our Pixel 6 Pro's, and in both of our vehicles (2019 Durango R/T, and 2020 RAM 2500)
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: this is wired using different cords for troubleshooting purposes.
I have none of those issues but my issue with aa is that it keeps turning off preview incoming message
Issue #3 I do get from time to time. Annoying AF. Also trusted device only last 4 hours I believe which I think is ridiculous.
imo... Spotify always sounds like crap.
Haven't had any of these issues at all. Everything works well for me on the December update.
I have none of these issues, but the issue I get is specific to Google Maps on Android Auto. When I'm navigating somewhere, often at the start of the trip Google Maps cannot get a GPS lock on me and the map skips all over the place, constantly rerouting me. After I continue to drive I eventually will get GPS lock and then everything works fine.
Using Waze on Android Auto, everything works fine. I get GPS lock instantly when I switch to the Waze app on Android Auto. So all I can conclude is the issue is specific to Google Maps... It's not that big of a deal but can be very annoying.
Edit: I'm on wireless with a Pioneer AVH deck.
My wifes Pixel 6 works fine apart from the battery icon constantly flashing on and off (on the car display)
I don't have any issues with Android Auto in my 2020 Subaru, and neither does my wife.
No, I don't have these issues either. Working fine for me on Lexus NX.
Edit: "wired" that is (to be clear).
I am not seeing any issues in my 2020 Kia Soul. I use the wireless android auto adapter (AAWireless from Indiegogo) so I do not have to plug it in though.
Could your uConnect system need an update? You can check here for one: https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html

Great Idea, unfortunately they are already up to date on the software. That AAWireless thing is pretty cool, but plugging it in doesn't bother me that much, plus I know its charging.

I always have issues with cables that keep disconnecting and have to unplug and re-plug in (both my car & my wife's 2016 Hyundai Sonata). The AAWireless is very handy in that regards. It will occasionally freeze up, but very rarely after a few OTAs ago. The only downside that I have found is that if you get too close to the vehicle with BT Headphones (mowing or other yardwork typically), it will connect to the AAWireless and cut off audio to the BT Headphones. I just unplug the AAWireless from the car until I am done then.
I should mention all my issues only occur when I'm wireless in my car. When I use wired in my friends car, it works fine.

Personally, I do not have an Android Auto enabled car.
I can tell though that there were numerous reports in the past (XDA, Reddit, Discord, Telegram) of people having problems with Android Auto. Now the problem with that, is...
a) Android Auto has always been buggy - even with cable. I have friends that have been trying to get Android Auto to reliably work with their Samsungs (cable) for years, and their attempt are still a work in progress. It's a hit-and-miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
b) Android 12 is extra buggy and has been known to cause problems with Android Auto (reports of Samsung owners upgrading to A12)
c) Pixel 6 Pro is extra special buggy and it's more or less unknown at this point, if Android Auto issues are caused by Auto Auto being a buggy mess, Android 12 being a buggy mess, Pixel 6 being a buggy mess or a culmination of the three together.
d) Plus, there is a massive difference in reliability between Android auto cable vs. wireless.
I did see some workarounds floating in the web, you might be able to find them in Reddits GooglePixel group.
In the end though, your best bet (longterm) would probably be: Go into settings, report the problem directly to Google and make sure that all your friends and family that also use Android Auto do the same.
