i have the tata nexon 2023 model. I tried the "Wireless Android Auto" with Raspberry Pi Zero W 1.1 and the USB cable came with the mobile box (old).

When I tried using my phone (Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1) using Android PIE OS, it had only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. It doesn't show any issues or connection success messages or connect to the phone, but it shows no device response sometimes and sometimes. I have connected manually to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but no use. When I opened Android Auto and toggled on the wireless connection, it showed that it didn't support 5 GHz. Wi-fi band.

After that I tried with Samsung f55 it was connected with Bluetooth. And working fine.

@nisargjhaveri would you please resolve to connect to the 2.4 GHz band? f71346c9-8c76-47dc-b390-8baddaa126f2 31527a4d-61b6-41c4-b4ca-a3128d7aac7b

If you're using RPi zero. It only has 2.4Ghz wifi and that's what we're using.

On the phone side, Android Auto officially is supported only with 5GHz wifi. It has been working okay with the 2.4 GHz wifi on most cases, but I haven't tried with a device that does not have 5 GHz wifi at all.

Does going to Android Auto developer mdoe and enabling Wireless Android Auto help? You can enable devoper mode by tapping in the version in the Android Auto app a few times (5 or 7 time, not sure). Once enabled, "Developer settings" will be available in the triple dot menu on the top.
