Android Auto does not work

[Attelah7]

Hello!

I installed this AIO firmware, everything OK almost, but the Android Auto does not work. When I connect my Samsung A51 phone via USB cable, does not happen anything in the cars display. The phone starts to charge and ask the USB mode. I allow to connect as file transfer and Andorid Auto, but nothing happen in the car.

Can you help me?

Thank you in advance!

Do you have the right USB port in your car? Old once do not support CP

[Attelah7]

How can I identify that the USB port is a right one? Before the update I have only Mirror Link and the unit recognised the USB connected phone, just can not connected. So I think the USB port is correct.

[Chmiking]

Hello! I have exactly the same issue with my Passat 2015. At the start I had no access to the USB port at all. Then I went to carplay_check/usb_settings and activated the USB ports one at the time for testing and now I can access my media files via USB. My car only have 1 USB port in the armrest and the setting that works is USB_2. However I can not not get Android Auto to work. Not even MirrorLink is working with my old phone even though it worked before.

Thanks!

You need the one with green connector

[Chmiking]

Doesn't the green connector only apply to those who want CarPlay? MirrorLink was working before the update, so it seems illogical that a new connector is needed now.

Please share your LOG file from SD.

Check if AA FEC is active, also coding has to be OK, which you can also check in GEM

[Chmiking]

Hi again!

Sorry for hijacking this thread. Hopefully this can solve the problem that @Attelah7 is also having.

FEC 00060900 is valid. Under "/carplay_check/check_coding", everything is set to on. "Baidu CarLife" is not activated. USB configuration is set to "iPod - CarPlay & Android Auto"

I have a feeling that the USB configuration needs to be changed due to the old USB port, but the values are locked.

MU1427-JTB-07405.03.15116610F8.log

Attached the log file.

Today I set the USB port at carplay_check/usb_settings and selected the #2 USB port. I have only 1 USB port in the center armrest like Chmiking. Now the unit can see the pictures and music on the phone at the Pictures and Media menu.

Android Auto still doesn't work.

[Chmiking]

Problem solved! Android Auto works in my car! A friend helped me change the USB configuration from "USB & iPhone Functionality.." to "USB functionality.." in module 5F - byte 19. Just as the image shows from this thread: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/5474/#post-52666

For me this will work for so long as all family members only have Android phones, but eventually I will replace the USB port to get full functionality.

I hope this info will help @Attelah7. Thank you! 🙂

[Attelah7]

Thank you, i will check as soon as possible. I am on abroad now. I have a "cheap" VCDS and last week I have tried to read the 5F section but my VCDS could not show the titles at the Long Coding Helper menu. But now I know that the 19th byte is what I have to search, thanks to you.

[Attelah7]

I checked the 5F section again. Long coding helper is not available. This happened because of the AIO firmware is installed?

Could you please send me a screenshot from your 5F long coding?

This is mine:

[Chmiking]

I'm sorry, but I don't have any screenshot from the event. When I got help, I think it looked like the one in the picture from ross-tech forum with the labels. Anyway, I don't think the AIO version have something to do with it.

Doesn't the lower right on your screenshot show the long coding helper, but without labels? Have you tried to update your software to the latest VCDS? If that's not possible, I think you can install the latest version on a different PC and copy the label folder to the one you're using to diagnose your car. This is just speculation, but it might be worth a try?

[Chmiking]

I also found this: https://sidicer.lt/vcds/

[harman-f]

AIO is not touching LC in any bad way, just changiung bytes to enable CP/AA and change USB port setting.

Missing label file is mostly related to wrong/unkonw PN. Was the unit converted?

[Attelah7]

I just updated the unit from MHI2_ER_VWG11_S0259 and MU0199 to MHI2_ER_VWG11_K3342_1_AIO_MU1427.

"Missing label file is mostly related to wrong/unkonw PN." - What does it mean: PN?

[harman-f]

part number

Should be: 3G0035 and some more depending on HW configuration

[Attelah7]

Success! Thank you very much for your help! I flashed my VCDS cable to the 22.10.0 software and than I could see the labels in 5F and changed the USB settings as you mentioned. Now it's working!

Dear harman-f, Thank you very much for the AIO firmware as well. Maybe you should add this method to the end of the installing process if the AA do not work after the installation.

I can not test the CP because I don't have iPhone. As soon as I have an opportunity to test with iPhone, I will write.

THANK YOU AGAIN MY FRIENDS!

[Chmiking]

I'm glad it worked out for you! I think you will need a new USB port for CP to work, but you can always try when you get the chance.

Now that AA works, my next step is to get a dongle to connect AA wirelessly.

I also want to say thank you @harman-f for the awesome AIO firmware!🙂
