Hi, I just bought new Mercedes CLA and it won't connect to my 6P, it just shows the error message in the screenshot. I am obviously connected to the USB 2 as it shows me the option to pair my device with the car as soon as I connect it. What are the other phone settings I could check? Bluetooth works I can listen to Spotify but I really care about Google maps. Thanks for any suggestions.

If you are on Oreo, turn on USB Debugging mode and it should work fine. If you aren't on Oreo yet, ignore this.
Ups just realized I forgot to mention I am on Oreo specifically NitrogenOS rom. I had USB debugging turned on by default I disabled it because I thought it might the cause but it didn't help. I'll turn it back on then.

I'm having an issue getting Android Auto to launch in my Subaru Crosstrek 2018 model. It works when I use my Nexus 6p but not with the Essential phone. I've tried different cables and reinstalling Android Auto but no luck. Anybody else having issues with Android Auto in their car with the Essential phone?
I had major problems getting Android Auto to work with my Essential phone.
At first, I kept getting the red screen of death (something about "do this when the car is stopped and the brake is on"...of course the car was stopped and the brake was on...). The next day (after a phone update), I tried again and could get past that screen. But then it wouldn't connect.
Turns out you have to scroll down the notifications and change the connect mode from USB charge to MTP manually. Once you do that, it quickly connects. Why the phone can't automatically do that for you...I don't know. But I've done this repeatedly now and each time it connects once you change to MTP mode.
(I also have USB debugging on--don't know if that's important as well).

Android Auto doesn't kick-in on my '20 Subaru Outback (works on my wife's '19 Nissan Rogue).
Can you specify how to get to this setting. I'm unable to find it...
Thanks

For the current connection, expand the "usb charging" notification, and it will give you a prompt to the available options - just select what you need. To change the default USB connection behaviour, go to Settings - System - Developer options - Default USB configuration, and select an appropriate connection mode.

Funny there is no USB charging notification on the top, but in Default USB configuration should it be on File Transfer? Thanks!
I've never had a problem with android auto on mine, though I think I probably did change the default connection mode to file transfer a long time ago (before I had a vehicle with android auto).
You can also try a USB hub. These resolved the problem:
AmazonBasics 4 Port USB to USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter
ASIN B00DQFGH80
TP-Link | 4 - Port USB 3.0 Hub | Slim & Foldable Cord Design | Compact Travel Size with Charging Ports | Universal Compatibility - USB Flash Drive, Notebook, MacBook, PC, Chromebook and More (UH400)
ASIN B012B6YQY6

Hello everyone,
I use my s8 to listen through music on my car stereo, which supports Android Open Accessory 2.0, allowing me to use USB to connect the phone to the stereo.
Since the latest update, when I plug in the phone it will not work with the stereo. I found out this was because the USB Config mode in Developer options would switch to MTP.
Switching to Audio Source mode would allow the phone to work, however every time I unplug the phone, it resets the mode to MTP.
Is there any way I can force the USB config mode to stay in Audio Source?
Thanks
Did you find a solution for this? Having the same annoying problems on several phones, most of them didn't even connect to my jvc at all, except note 4/s5 s4 oukitel u16(setting on midi) and now finally my s7 after root ing and 2 weeks of trial and error.. But have to connect 2 times before even getting in android audio mode and switch to audio source several times.. It's so annoying there has to be a good working funftional usb audio output.. Come on...
So I've been using my phone to sync my music for a long time and today I updated to Verizon's new security patch and suddenly I'm getting a 'USB device not recognized' error when trying to connect my phone to my computer.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
I read the previous posts when this has happened so yes, the drivers are installed. I just hooked my phone up yesterday and it worked. Fast charging works on it and my PC charges the phone just fine so it's not the micro USB port.

Did you make sure USB debugging is still on? A security update might turn that off
Yeah, that's actually the first thing I checked. Same result either way. I'm just trying to transfer media without having to take the SD card out and it just will not work no matter what I have tried, including re-installing the drivers on my computer and restarting both multiple times.

I've had it happen a couple of times with my Note 5, I think the only way I fixed it was to use a completely different computer and ever reinstalled windows. It's like something got screwy on the computer.

Well, I did confirm it works on my other computer but Android Auto in my car no longer works. I'm pretty pissed off because the Verizon update definitely messed up things here. It's the only thing that changed and I had just used Android Auto the day before the updated too. I didn't even think about it until I had to use navigation today and it didn't work.
I just factory reset the phone and tried it and the computer and Android Auto still do not work. Verizon's updates are such garbage and I've been trying to wait for the Galaxy S10 to upgrade my phone.
So I found a (very stupid) fix for this. The reason it was only working on one computer of mine was because that is a desktop that I use a USB hub to connect to. What I found was if I use that USB hub to connect to my laptop AND my car for Android Auto both devices work as they did before. For now I have that USB hub out in my car so I can use Android Auto.
Obviously this is very dumb but it seems to work so if any of you have this issue with your Galaxy S7 Edge this may work for you. The USB hub I'm using is an Anker USB 3.0 4-port Hub that is no longer made and couldn't find it for purchase now but it's possible any hub or their newer ones will work.

I did a little searching and came across other people having the same sort of problem, here's what they did to get it working:
(I also saw mentiond about deleting the phone from the car's list of Android Auto devices before the following steps)
1. Turn USB debugging ON on the phone. (Under developer options. If you don’t have developer options available in settings, it can be turned on by going to Settings -> System -> About Phone and taping on “Build Number” several times until a message appears saying that you are ‘now a developer’.)
2. Forget the Bluetooth pairing between my phone and my car on both the phone and the car.
3. Clear data for Android Auto app on my phone.
4. Restart Phone.
5. Turn car off-and-on.
That order was important, as I’d tried several combinations of those steps without effect until I hit on this combination. Steps 1, 2, and 3 may be able to be switched around with each other, but it seems they both had to be done before steps 4 and 5 (which seemed to need to be done in that specific order).
Also, if I start the car with the phone already connected, the car tends not to notice the phone. I have to plug the phone in after the car is started and the entertainment system ready to go.
If you want to start over without a factory reset you can do this so it will be like you just did (as far as what we are dealing with here)

Yeah, I tried that multiple times and have seen the article you copied here. I even did a factory reset and tried all of that again but it didn't work.
With the way I have it working right now USB Debugging is actually off too (it works with it on or off). Before the recent Verizon update I hadn't even enabled Developer Mode so USB Debugging was always off when it was working. Something screwed up with the way the phone identified itself via USB in the software update and the USB hub seems to fix it.
An official Samsung cable might work (and I have one on the way) but since I bought this phone used without the official cable that hasn't been an option.
Thanks though!!
I''m trying to get mirrorlink to connect, but it never seems to work. The radio isn't detecting it.
The radio unit I have is an aftermarket and it says it requires USB Debugging to be on, however this seems to be interfering with mirrorlink. I say this because whenever I have USB debugging turned on, and I try to enable mirrorlink from the settings, it resets the connection. And whenever I have USB debugging off, the radio unit does not detect the phone. I can only guess that this is happening because mirrorlink is trying to establish a "new" usb connection, and since usb debugging is connected, the usb is already in use and would have to kill the initial connection to have a new one. I don't know if it's the way Samsung has it set up, but that's my guess.
Does anyone have a fix or any information regarding this (mirrorlink on S10+)?
I'm trying to look into the source files, however I am not quite advanced in android dev and that will take a while. If anyone has any ideas or fixes, I'll gladly try them.
Hi All,

You mean open the head unit and connect the USB cable to a different USB port on the back of the unit? Or you mean something else? Thanks

No, my device (OKNAVI TS10 6+128) and probably every other are supplied with 2 USB cables: 6 and 4 pin. He suggests you to check the one that has 6pin connector plugged to the device.
I also got a problem with my head unit. The device can't see anything plugged to the USB port after it wakes up. What helps in this case is a restart of the device. Everything works until at some point of wake up and sleep cycle it hangs up. Of course I run on the newest firmware and MCU drivers.
Hi, I had to restore the factory settings, after that all the applications on navigation are gone. I can't even install anything because the play store app is gone too. What now? How should I install play store app now ?
hello, I have a window radio vi QT10 4 / 32gb I reset it to the factory settings because the fm radio icon disappeared and I could not find it, now I do not have the google play icon and when I downloaded the google play apk and I want to install it, it pops up that my radio does not support it please contact the manufacturer in the program, but in China they have a new year and holidays, so there is no one to help me. in deeper settings it is forced to stop and close the application as if it was installed but hidden somewhere, please help I bought the radio a week ago but I have no idea how to fix it, does anyone have a link to the new software for this radio and android 11, can it work? MCU update is looking all the time and nothing is happening so I don't know how to update it either.
did anyone come up with the solution? The same happens to me
