I can't get Android Auto or Mirror Link to work on my Skoda Kodiaq, it's not the car as all other phones work with it. I have tried using the stock cable and other cables, when i connect it, the car recognises something is connected and the phone asks me what to do with the USB connection (charge only, transfer files or photos) and i've tried all of them. The car eventually gives up and says the phone is not compatible, something i used to get with my OnePlus 3t as it didn't support Mirror Link but it would work instantly on Android Auto.
I have read online that there were issues with Android Auto on previous phone models but the manufacturer were looking to get this fixed in this phone. If it was a cheap phone i'd probably just leave it, as i did with Mirror Link on the OnePlus, but for a phone they are pushing at a crazy price and saying is premium, they have work to do. Has anyone figured out any fixes for this, or managed to get it to work on their car?
I've got the same problem with my huawei mate 20 pro and Dynavin 7 ce in Tuareg.
Very annoying thing. Any solution someone?
I have a 4 week old T-Roc and Android Auto works fine on mine, I can't quite remember what options I had to allow on the phone but it didn't work straight out the box but works fine now with Google Maps, Waze and Spotify.
There was a bug with some cars and newer android versions. I have to enable USB debugging on my phone for android auto to work. Can't explain why.
Ive been using it for a few days and have no issues with Google map, listening to music or making calls or sending texts using voice.
Does anyone know how to stop it asking what you want to do everytime you plug in the usb in the car? Very annoying.

I'm a little lost. Been trying to get this thing working and Nada. I can connect for a short few seconds. Then it disconnects. From all the videos I've seen, drivers install. But not here. It says Galaxy S5. But no driver pop up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Still nothing. I've installed the newest Bluetooth drivers for My Dell PC and still. What's going on? Any ideas
Anyone?

What are you trying to do exactly? Mine connects and works great. It will only connect when it needs to for instance, when sending or receiving a file. It won't stay connected constantly. It's not like a Bluetooth speaker or anything.

once 8.1 hit millions of bluetooth drivers were damaged. its an obvious common problem but some say they have fixed it by installing drivers. i have the latest drivers from dell... for some reason drivers never installed on my pc for the S5. it was just there. it happened so fast. i did pair it without internet at first. but since have uninstalled an attempted to re connect so drivers will reinstall. im on the verge of picking up an external bluetooth dongle to try it out.

Hmm never knew that, I will try it out on my computer and see if it works. I do have an external dongle I can try too.
I do know that the windows drivers for the external dongles never works right so you have to download the newest from broadcom. But I lost mine so I can't try it now with Windows 8.1. Things like headphones wouldn't work without. I'm not sure if its lack of proper drivers for My Bluetooth on my Dell with Windows 8.1. Trying to find someone with an external to try. I use that every day in my car since my head unit is a dell computer.

So I think I figured it out.
It is NOT your computer. It is the phone. Either Samsung or T-Mobile tampered with the bluetooth services it is capable of. Meaning, if you try to use your phone for Bluetooth tethering, you will notice its not an option. This is because inside the /system/lib/hw folder, one of the lib files that controls Bluetooth communications with the hardware is telling other devices that is connected that only Contact Syncing and File Transfer services are available. I would attempt to flash an AOSP ROM, and check if you get any better results. If so, I may be able to hack the lib file to allow us to use more services. I remember I did this on the S4 to allow Bluetooth tethering so I hope its as easy for other services. I just need something to compare so if It works on AOSP I can compare with the lib file from there.
I do need to update the phone. Just so happy I got tethering without T-Mobile s bs telling me how much I can use. Don't wanna mess up lol.
Flashed the xtralite ROM .. Still have issues
I bought a new Bluetooth dongle. Damn 20 dollar dongle. Well it works. Not completely. Its missing the hands free portion.

Which ROM is this on?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I'm currently using the ... What is it called. Its the slimmed down ROM. Like 500mb download size and you can install what addons you wish. Before I don't know what I was on. J don't really change roms a lot if its working flawless. The new cheap dongle i just got is working fine. Enough... Lol BT stereo works nice most of the time and will bring up a media player looking window with track info even using things like I heart radio. Hands free works but I don't have an on screen dialer. Have to initiate the call with the phone. Unless I'm missing a program I could use.
I am one of the lucky people who will get a car with the ability to connect my smartphone to it using Mirrorlink or Android auto.
Anybody here who has tried to connect their nubia z7 mini with Android Auto or Mirrorlink? Is it even possible?
I am currently running Mokee 6.0.1 which is Android Marshallow so I am pretty confident Android auto should work.
So, is anybody using Android Auto with the Nubia z7 mini and if so, which ROM are you using and is it working well?
Since nobody could answer me and I now had the chance to test it, I can confirm that Android Auto works on the Nubia Z7 mini.
I am using Android 6.0.1 from Mokee (MK60.1-nx507j-201604060258-NIGHTLY) and everything works out of the box with no bugs or problems.
Don't know if anybody is interested in this but I can as well share the information since it might be useful someday to somebody .
Get Nubia to work with mirrorlink
Hi, i see that you've managed to get your nubia phone to work with mirror link. I was just wondering if u could help me?
I understand my phone is Nubia z11, a bit different from yours but i was wonderring if there is anyway i can make mirror link in my car to recognise my Nubia z11?
Ive downloaded android auto into the phone but whenever i connect my phone to my car using USB it just keeps saying that it doesn't recognise the device or device not detected. Is there anything i can do to make my car recognise the phone?
Thank you
First of all, there is a difference between mirrorlink and Android Auto. Mirrorlink is a technology that mirrors your phone screen on your car and works with most older car models. Android Auto was developed by Google and your car needs support for Android Auto to make it work.
Mirrorlink has never worked for me but since I can use Android Auto, I never really bothered to try so I cannot assist you with mirrorlink .
For Android Auto I can only suggest you to google everything you can find about it and as far as I have experienced, there are a couple of tricks you can try that solve AA problems in 80% of the cases
1. Use a high-quality USB cable
2. Enable the Media Transfer Protocol on your phone
3. Make sure that your time and date is set correctly on your car.
4. Check if Android Auto works correctly on your phone before connecting it to your car
5. Make sure google play services is installed correctly
6. Check if the bluetooth connection is on
All I can say is good luck since AA is sometimes a real pain in the ass
No android auto works fine but it's getting it to show up on my new car's monitor screen !!! ??????
Hello! First sorry for my poor language.
Polish android forums can tell me only stupid ideas, these people can't use brains.
I want to open discussion about mounting smartphone with Android to car. Important things: considered connect charger(i have car electric items and idea how to connect and hide wiring), make car recorder(AutoGuard app), make audio source(bluetooth connected for car radio - without wiring), sometimes use Torque app(i have OBD 2 mini ELM adapter).
I have some old phone - Samsung SM-G350. Car is passat b5, but its not important.
My samsung is rooted, have cyanogenmod 11 on android 4.4.4. I'm searching ideas for reaction in my telephone when i turn on my engine. For example - if i turn engine on, car charger is working and callphone battery is loading. I want to in this moment run AutoGuard and start recording, or screen is displaying always and is unlocked.
Have some ideas? Maybe change android files? Some scripts? Help me, i need to good advices.
You need the Android Auto for that, old cars don't usually have it.
To have something mounted, your best option is to get an Android Auto receiver, but you'll have to do the research with your car info and stuff like that. You could also just get a simple phone mount for pretty cheap on an online store like Amazon.
With Tasker, possibly, you might be able to use that root capability to its potential by setting up some automation stuff that opens apps once the phone detects power input (once it is plugged in).
Android Auto is a good option, but I don't think that it runs on Android 4.4.4. You'll have to get something newer.
(I also just realized that this is a really old thread that people are responding to now. )
I bought a new kia optima sports wagon which was working fine with a Samsung note 3 on lollipop. I have since got an elephone p9000 which runs marshmallow out of the box, since then I am getting problems with android auto connectivity, mostly android auto will connect but it will often just bomb out and display communication error 6 on the phones screen, mainly when I try and play media using google music, also WhatsApp is not sending messages on,cwhen I press the voice command on steering wheel I can say WhatsApp and it will ask who I want to chat with, it then let's me say who I want to chat with and asks for the message which it then plays back to me and asks if I want to send it, I reply send and it says it is done but it doesn't actually get sent.
Not sure where the prpblem might lay. The new usb C type cable (tried a different one), lateste android mm update has screwed something, maybe the android auto on car infotainment system isnt compatible with update.
Any one else experiencing issues ?
P9000 screwing up with Android Auto......????
Same problem......does P9000 (6.0) have the 'ability' to properly run Android Auto...?
Hey all, I recently traded in my V20 for a new G6.
I've got a 2016 Honda Civic and am having serious issues with Android Auto. Every time i plug in, it will play audio for about 10 minutes and then disconnect. Once I reconnect it will be about 10 seconds to 1 minute before it disconnects again if it connects at all. After clearing app data in AA i usually can get it to stay for about 10 minutes and then it does it again.
I know it's not the cable because i've tested both the cable that i was using with my v20 and also the one that came as a charging cable for the g6.
I have tried turning on USB debugging and also have tried all three USB connection modes.
This is super frustrating especially because for some reason (even though my v20 played audio just fine) the g6 and civic combo will only connect bluetooth for voice and not for media (without crashing.)
Anyone else experience this??
Sorry I can't help. It works fine on my Tesla.
I have what might be a similar issue. I don't get disconnects but on my 2017 Chevy Colorado, if I turn off the truck with the phone still connected to USB (for example, a quick stop at a gas station), after I restart the truck, G6 audio doesn't work at all. I have to reboot. I've tried force-stopping Waze, Pandora, and Android Auto; disconnecting and reconnecting USB; and even going into airplane mode (my phone hitchhikes on the truck's WiFi)... nothing works except a reboot. Literally the only thing I don't like about the G6.
Android Auto was flawless on my previous Nexus 6P ... but it went into bootloop and became a $700 paperweight.
I'm having similar issues with my G6 and AAuto in a 17Civic Hatchback My 1st drive of the day is usually ok But 2nd and thereafter drives no matter how much time in between The radio or music play pauses randomly whether it's a music player on Bluetooth sub Amazon music Pandora even Sirius radio I brought it in for service 4 times they tell me it's the phone or settings on the phone finally got a tech to see what's going on long story shorter they just replaced the entire radio/android system with latest android update well guess what same old same old still doing it very frustrating I had an LG G3 prior and for the most part no issues So is it a G6 thing Android Auto thing or Honda thing??? I also tried 4 or 5 different music player apps that are compatible with AA
When pressing the play button on any music player while connected to my 2017 Civic, it instantly crashes the bluetooth application. Oddly enough, for some reason the YouTube Music application can play multiple tracks without issue as long as you're using a playlist and keeping the screen off while doing so. I don't think that Android Auto is the problem, because it works perfectly fine via USB port and always allows me to interface with the application on my Civic's touchscreen panel. However, I am glad to see that I'm not the only one with this issue so maybe there will be a fix hopefully somewhere down the line.
