r/AndroidAuto

I just purchased a FYT 7870 head unit and have the Carlink 2.0 working with wireless android Auto. I have 2 questions. Is there a way to get the Android Autoto increase the resolution so it displays the tiles side by side instead of maps on top and weather and pandora on the bottom? Also, is there a setting somewhere in Carlink 2.0 to allow you to input an address while driving? I could do this on all my previous android head units. Thanks for any input you may have

The issue with these screens dropping connection and freezing or rebooting continues for me. I've tried all the hacks, settings tweaks, and fixes proposed here and with Google Support (useless btw). I'm wondering if anyone found a screen that actually works? A specific brand or some models that work as intended before Google put a dagger in this market.

Yesterday Gemini did this no problem when I asked. It showed a message at the bottom of the screen "Connecting to Waze" or something along those lines. Today she says she can't do that and has no access to waze and never has and as we argued about it she held firm there's no way it is possible.

Why such a difference from day to day?

Hello!

I have an issue with Android Auto which is specific to some HUs. In my current vehicle, Android Auto looks blurry. I'm not 100% sure if there's an issue with scaling, low resolution or simply not enough bitrate set up during negotiation. As far as I've tested, it also doesn't seem to be device-specific. Is there a way to force a specific resolution or bitrate? I will welcome all solutions, including root.

Things I've tried:

* Developer settings - all settings are being completely ignored. No matter which resolution I choose it gets renegotiated upon connecting.

* System-wide DPI changes - didn't appear to work and it also affects SystemUI which I'm not a fan of, I want my phone UI unaffected.

*AA AIO Tweaker - there've been a few years since I've used it and it seems abandoned. It has bitrate settings, however Android 16 requires custom sqlite3 library and even after patching around it still wouldn't work no matter what I've tried. It seems that new GMS db has a different structure and key tables are missing.

Any recommendations?

LPT: the immersive experience seems to only "appear" when you're on a route to a destination.

Mine appeared to be active today. You get 3D trees (not an accurate representation of course), overpasses, etc. It does look nice. When I was done, I started heading home without setting a route and it appeared to be the "regular" display. When I activated the route home, I got the immersive experience.

I have a Hyundai I20 2018 and ever since I bought it the Android auto was working perfectly fine but about 2 months ago I connected my phone with the usb cable and it started charging but stopped a second later and Android auto didn't load, I tried with 2 other phones and both did the same so I changed the cable twice and got the same result, how can I fix this?

Just ordered my Pixel 11 Pro Fold and was wondering if the new phone means Gemini will appear on my AA? Currently, I don't have it.

When riding my motorcycle, I use Android Auto with (i think uncertified) an external display connected to my OnePlus 11. The display works for about 1–3 minutes, after which Android Auto shuts down and reboots.

This keeps happening for around 20–30 minutes, and then, for some reason, it stops crashing and works normally. I’ve tried using it with music on and off, but that doesn’t seem to make any difference.

I had the same issue with a different display, so I returned it and bought another one, but I’m still experiencing the exact same problem. The issue doesn’t happen every time, either.

I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this. I have a feeling the problem might be related to my phone, possibly the OnePlus 11, but I’m not sure.

Has anyone experienced something similar or know where I should look for a solution?

If someone messages me in WhatsApp then I can reply no issues, but sending a message otherwise doesn't work.

If I look at my contacts and press one, it opens a screen with 3 'Top Contacts' which I've no idea where they came from as they seem random.

Via voice it keeps saying "who do you want to message" after displaying their name.

If it's a design issue and will only allow you to start a message to one of 3 people then how does it decide who they are?

Just bought a 2022 Jeep Compass with Android Auto. And after looking in forums, saw this app, so I downloaded it from github, and when I try to install anything in its menu, it tells me I need to wait for the next free download or upgrade. Does the downloading of the app itself count as one if the free monthly downloads? I haven't downloaded anything yet i don't know what I'm doing wrong, did I miss a step in the set up, all I saw was next?

New Subaru Uncharted Sport. Let me know if this is the wrong sub.

Wife has an Apple phone and was able to fire up Car Play with a Bluetooth connection. Me, however, with a Samsung S21 cannot get a wireless connection started. Should we both be able to use Bluetooth devices at the same time? How does the car determine which device to display on the screen? We mostly need to use maps.

Just wondering about the current state, because mine didn't come back for a while so

I'm seriously sure I don't know what is wrong with the settings or something else? Why do I always talk using voice commands and android auto always said "SORRY I DON'T UNDERSTAND"

Kind of felt bad that there is no Triple Screen in my BE6. Although upcoming Mahindra BE6 SporTEQ will be having it. Found a working method to get it on the current BE6. And not just BE6, it will work in any car as long as you have an Android Phone. Would look so cool on MG Windsor's huge screen. Gotta see how it looks on it.

The name of the App that you gotta sideload is Fermata Xtream which gets installed through AAEnabler. The beauty of it is that it works on android phones with Android 16 as well. I tried other options but they had support until Android 9.

Lmk, if you find a better alternative to it. For now, this is the best I could make it work in my cars.
