Android Auto with LG G6 - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hello,
i've already found some threads about this topic but there is no solution mentioned.
Does anyone have got Android Auto on LG G6 in use?
I've added this feature on my Mercedes CLA (2016) several days ago to use it with my G6 (H870), but my car can't see my phone when i connect it via USB.
My older Moto X Play works fine, but no chance with the G6. Car shows "No Device recognized" on Android Auto screen.
Some people say they've tried another USB cable. I've tried 4 different cables already including the original cable.
Is this a software problem? Custom Rom?
At the moment i'm running stock (V11i-EUR-XX)and don't really want to flash another FW.

I'm on stock not rooted h870 and my jvc android auto headunit recognize the phone. I noticed that sometimes reverse the usb connector does the trick. Also you can try to change the usb connection mode from charge to mass storage or vice versa.

I tested it on a Citroën C4 Picasso and it worked okay. I have the same stock version of G6. I sometimes had to unplug and plug again the USB cable, though, especially when stopping and restarting the car.

Hi i use a small 30cm cabel with it its run by my car, with a normal 1,5m cabel it don't run

Running fine here with original cable and last fulmics ROM.

I wrote to LG support and the answer is very dissapointing. LG told me that the G6 is not officially supported by android auto at the moment.
The problem is till present, my car doesn't see my phone when connected.
Already tried hard reset and also flashed the stock rom again

It is not a phone problem, probably car implementation.
I installed android auto from APK mirror, try different versions to see. In my country android auto is not even available on Google play.
Also lg mirrordrive works, but it is less useful comparing to android auto. In case you car suport it. I have a VW.

No ideas? It seems that the problem isn't even Android Auto. The car Just can't see the phone. It doesn't even that i've connected something. On LG G6 it says only that it's charging, but doesn't ask me what kind of connection i want to use.

Look for shorter (20-30cm) , thicker USB-C cables. The original one doesn't work for me. But one of the short cables works just fine.

Can you tell me the brand/model of your cable?

It connects!!! But only when i connect the phone with an usb hub and the hub with the car. Very strange... And the connection is broken sometimes and reconnect

Can you post picture of your setup (cable / hub)
I have simular problem with my g6 and pioneer radio, works fine with Samsung s6, but with g6 device not reconised

For me it connects with original cable and a 1.5 m tronsmart cable from a QC3 charger. Unless the cable it is not damaged , I don't see a problem of with the cable, maybe the usb socket of your car.
Btw LG G6 is in supported android auto devices.

It's just an old simple USB hub by CSL. Found it at home in a box and just tried. As i said it works, but crashes very often.
Cable is this one:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01F439RB0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_62-TAb2DNH184
With Oneplus 3T it doesn't matter which cable i use, all are working and it also has got USB type C, so the problem can't be the car.
My G6 doesn't work until i use the usb hub between phone and car...

When I bought my LG G6 I bought a short (30cm) usb cable too, and I did not have any problems until one month ago, when I found that with pits on the roads my phone gets disconnected. So i bought 3 new cables, 2 of them short (30cm) and one long (1m) suggested by the community. None of them worked well. One short cable got disconnected after few minutes, and the others 2 (the short and the long cable) didn't connect at all. The long cable works perfectly with a Xiaomi phone on the same car. I tightened the USB adapter of my old cable, maybe it has some bad contacts. Now keeps working, the story continue...
This is the first cable I bought and that worked for several months:
amazon.it/gp/product/B01KHM0EA6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This did not work well from the beggining:
amazon.it/gp/product/B07213KM1L/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Those not worked at all:
amazon.it/gp/product/B071HN4G8P/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
amazon.it/gp/product/B01GN0M6NE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No problems here, either with my G6 (rooted with Fulmics 4.2, then rooted with stock Oreo), or my wife's G6 (stock Nougat and then Oreo). Both work fine with the standard Skoda head unit in a 2017 Fabia SE. Using a 0.8m Anker cable.

I have an LG G6 connected to a 2018 Ford Edge, AA works fine other than when I make a call or receive a call after hang up my music will not resume playing through the car speakers it plays through the phone speakers, o my way to correct it is by unplugging sub cord from phone then replugging it in and music is then back through car speakers. I hooked up my friends Note8 with my cable and it works fine so it's not the car or the cable it's something with the phone.

I have intermittent issues but works most of the time. Check under 'Developer Options' and make sure USB Debugging is "on." Google updates have changed this setting in the past. Also, make sure you connect AA with cable phone and car BEFORE you start your car. Here is the AA site you need to read over. You can find a lot of issues still ongoing and/or fixed.

Android auto lg g6
We have three different android phones and one Apple phone and Android Auto works flawlessly on all of them except the LG G6. This tells me it’s the LG G6 that’s the problem. Even after LG sent out an OS UPDATE on 9/5/2018 didn’t solve the problem and I’m still on Android 8.0. I called LG and was told they know nothing of any issues. Bye bye LG!

Hi. I've got exactly the same issue. My G6 is 8.0.0 and V20D-HKG-XX version software ¿Have you had lucky finding some solution?

Has anyone seen any compatibility info with the 6P and Android Auto? I am sure there should be none, but I don't know if the USB-C would make a difference. I haven't seen any Android Auto info at all for the new Nexus models.
Thx!
Doubt it would matter, USB is backwards compatible if it's micro you would just need an adapter.

Should hopefully work like normally, I'm gonna be using the USB-C to USB-A cable that comes in box for my car for Android Auto. Hopefully it works without any issues otherwise this would be a huge over site by Google and a huge deal-breaker for me because no way I'm not driving around with Android Auto (it has completely changed my commutes.)

I agree. Android Auto makes my long commute that much bearable. Now that Amazon Prime Music works with Auto too? Sweet

How's it worked out so far for you? I have no issues, so far so good. Always good to hear from other AA users since there aren't too many of us out there (yet)
Mine works fine using the cable I bought from Google.

Ive had no issues so far! Its been amazing! Ive just been using the USB-C to USB-A cable that came with the 6P. Its the perfect length for this kinda thing!
I haven't had any problem at all. That short adapter cable is the perfect size for this. I just bought another, longer cable to use at home.

Same here. I had my installer put the USB port in where the cigarette lighter plug was (I had two of these on my dash). So I bought a Brodit Proclip mount and the short USB OEM cable works great
What do you guys choose for a USB option when you plug in your device? I tried all the options and my car and AA app don't seem to recognize. Will try a new cable this afternoon.

That's not true. I'm using a USB A to C cable I ordered from Google and it works fine on a 4100NEX.
Thanks for the responses.
It ended up being a setting on my headunit that was incorrect. It was set by default to use MirrorLink and not Android Auto, switched it up and now works perfectly! :good:
Would like to reopen this discussion as I'm buying a VW Golf TSI 2016 that has a factory installed Android Auto unit. I tried it at the dealership and it was a pain to initially connect my N6P with original USB-C to USB-A cable. It did eventually work but I had to turn on debugging, remove my lock screen pattern/security (unit in the car was saying the phone was locked and it couldn't access it but it wasn't?) ... It ultimately worked but it was a pain to setup really (took over 10 minutes). And then Maps and phone worked, Google Music wouldn't had to unplug, force close Google Music and then replug and it worked ... I tried it in a 2016 Honda Civic too while shopping and fumbled around for 20+ minutes to get it to connect ; no luck. It bluetooth paired but it was like I hadn't plugged anything in the USB port.
Of note ; in both case I compared with iPhones/Car Play : plug it in and within 3 to 5 seconds, everything is setup.
I'd be curious to see if anyone here has experience with 2016 VWs and how easy (or hard) it is to get it to connect? If I have to fumble around in the settings for a few minutes everytime I get in the car, that's a major bummer. Will try again tonight before signing paperwork.

Sounds like an issue with VW. My Android Auto (non-VW), set up fine. And to this day, I can use Android Auto without disabling my pattern lock.

Ok so ended up buying the VW and Android Auto took some time to setup the first time around but nothing as painful as when I was at the dealership. So far, 98% of the time I plugged my phone in Android Auto started within 5 seconds or so. On 2 occasions it failed to launch. One time it was kind of stuck in a loop where it would connect via Bluetooth, disconnect, try to connect via USB, fail, reconnect via Bluetooth, disconnect (and start over again endlessly). I had to unplug it and restart the car for it to work but that happened only once so...
Everything works flawlessly and is well integrated with the VW infotainment system (Google Maps voice instructions will play on top of FM radio or Sirius XM and only lower the volume of whatever is playing a tadbit, I actually did not expect that (I was expecting the sound to cut completely and then come back once Google Maps is done telling me XYZ instruction)).
2016 Kia Optimia & N6P Connection Issues
Hello,
I have a new 2016 Kia Optima and I'm been fooling around with this for 2 weeks and I can't get it connected. Here's what I've done.
-tried different cables which includes the short one that was shipped with the unit
- factory reset of the device
- turned degging off and on
- uninstalled the android app
- turned wireless off and removed the connection (that's what the Kia rep told me to do)
The only thing that I get when connected it the options to choose what to do when connected via USB. I've toggle all of them and have toggled the off and on ADD new cars to android auto button till I'm blue in the face.
Right now I'm all out for suggestions. Does anyone have any idea? It will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Possible solutions for using bluetooth usb via OTG?

I have a nexus 6p that, like some others with the phone, suffers from Bluetooth issues. I have performed every troubleshooting step in the book that i can think of and have come to the conclusion that it must be a hardware issue. The main thing i want to be able to use my Bluetooth for is to connect to my LG G watch R which i absolutely love. Trying to come up with outside the box solutions i bought a USB c to usb a OTG adapter and tried plugging in one of the Bluetooth adapters i have for my pc and using that instead of the built-in Bluetooth. No luck. The phone doesn't even recognize it as far as i can tell. My phone is rooted so if any possible solutions require root that is fine. Does anyone know if this setup could be possible? Any possible solutions besides having to write custom drivers?

Phone stuck in Charging Only mode

Hi all,
I got a Mavic Pro Quadcopter yesterday, but I cannot get it to talk to my LG V20.
When I connect to the remote via USB cable the phone automatically switches to "Charging Only" mode. I have tried changing it to MTP (media transfer protocol) in both the pull down menu and Developer Options, but it immediately changes itself back as soon as I open the Mavic Go application.
Can anyone suggest a way to force my phone to stay in MTP mode? I really want to fly my new drone. Arrrgggg!
PS: It works OK on my rooted Samsung S2 9.7 tablet, but it does not fit in the remote mounting hardware. Unfortunately I have the H990DS v20, so root is not an option for me.

your drone probably dosnt support the TYPE C connection, not the phone itself, im unsure how you could make this work tho, type c is a 3.0 connection, micro/mini usb 2.0. Probably a non-compatible connector for the drone sadly.
Just food for thought

PROBLEM SOLVED! A software update from DJI fixed the issue. The phone still shows as connecting as 'Charging Only' but it now connects to the drone correctly. Full video and control functions.
There is still a problem where the software crashes every few minutes, but it seems most users experience this bug. I'm hoping a further software update will finally make this device safe to fly.

New apple CarPlay usb dongle for android headhunts and tablets.

The above video is my review, i have it working great with my ownice c200 headunit. the usb seems to register that to the iPhone that it is a CarPlay device. the CarPlay UI apparently is stored and sent from the iPhone its self to the usb dongle and then sent to the android app. the app then sends touch and audio commands back to the usb dongle and then to the iPhone.
i can send photos of the internals of the device to any one who wants and a link to the APK.
MOD EDIT: removed email address and mention of selling head units. XDA is not a place to make money!
great !!!

The issue you are experiencing with the zbox having 'stage-fright' has to do with the power requirements of the zbox device. Some USB bus' don't provide enough power (or borderline) so functionality is intermittent. If you use a powered USB hub, that provides additional power to the USB ports, you'll have almost no issues.
I have connected a y USB adapter.
Has anyone tried one of these on a PX3 RK3166 head unit?
I have one but cant get it to work.
It connects to the apk but wont connect to the iphone.
Tried the update to firmware and apk, still no joy.
Not sure if i have a faulty dongle or it's a compatibility issue with these head units.
Alibaba seller suggested not enough power on head units usb?
I have the same problem with one of these.....
I have tried three android units now and I still can’t get them to work....
Android 4.4 it says its connect but the iPhone just shows as not found....
The other two are both 6.0.1 and the zbox just shows connecting all the time!
If any one has any help it would greatfully be received..
Or for that matter any software updates.....
Mine is showing apk: 2.1.0
Zbox versions: 2.1.0
Many thanks and kind regards
Mine works and I have a px3. I updated the device and installed the latest zbox app before I tried it. I would try swapping out cords and making sure they are certified by Apple. The only issue I have with mine is that it cannot be controlled from the steering wheel.

I use a second usb-plug and a y-cable to provide sufficient power to the device.
What do you guys do with regards to phone calls? My phone is obviously paired to the head unit via Bluetooth, so whenever I get a Call, it jumps out of CarPlay/zbox to the Stock phone interface, however the phone still transmits the audio to carplay and not via Bluetooth by default.
How any of you solved that problem?
If you are using CarPlay why do you have Bluetooth paired? Every car I've been in with CarPlay diconnects the phone from Bluetooth.

I have an Eonon GA7157 running a:
CPU: Allwinner R16 1.6GHz Cortex A7 Quad-Core
RAM: SAMSUNG DDR3, 1GB
Storage: 16GB
I have tried App and Firmware 2.x and 3.x. No joy. All I get is "Connecting" when the usb dongle and app is started. It never gets passed this "Connecting..." stage. USB devices like keyboards, mice, USB Flash drives, and even video camera work fine on this headunit. The Zbox Z1 and an OTA tuner don't work for some reason.
I did some more troubleshooting and found out the following: The dongle works perfectly on my PC running Remix. I also tried it on Samsung Table A; on this one, same symptom as the head unit, so I tried using an OTG cable and what do you know, it worked perfectly.
Therefore, I have 2 possible explanations: The headhunt's USB cable needs to be hardwire as OTG or Eonon somehow has decided to block certain type of USB devices that request data asynchronously. Why? I have not clue... I wish I could disable this flag in the OS, but I have not clue where it can be done. My headunit is rooted, so it should be possible in theory.
Hello, could you post pictures of the internals? I'm very curious what's inside the lil dongle. Also: do you still have some of the dongles? haha

USB-C audio in 9.0 update

Hello y'all,
I recently discovered by accident that when I tried plugging in my PS4 controller through the USB-C port the phone was showing headphones icon in the status bar. And sure enough, the audio wasn't coming from the phone. So can anyone test this out since I don't have any USB-C headphones, but I always wanted them.
Thanks to anyone participating in this test.
Write your results here.
Audio through USB-C works at least since Android 8.1. I've USB-C mini DAC (Hidizs Sonata HD) and works perfectly. Also I tested Nobsound NS-10g USB input via USB host adapter and also works. So, isn't a new feature of 9.0 update, if you are thinking so.
I've been using fulla schiit 2, usb audio works on 8.1

Actually yes, I was thinking it's new because when I tried my friends USB C headphones it didn't respond.
But thank you for clarifying me! Your response is appreciated.

Does your Hidizs Sonata work also with Android Pie? I've just got Sonata II and it works only if I connect it within one minute after reboot. After that the phone ignores it and acts like nothing has been connected (but the phone is powering the dongle as I see increased draw in logcat and hear a very faint click in the headphones). So if I want to listen via Sonata, I must connect it first and reboot the phone, then it works perfectly. I tried all the available firmwares for Sonata, it does the same with all of them. With the PC or Huawei phone it works whenever I connect the dongle, so it most probably isn't faulty USB DAC, but rather something in the phone. Also I'm missing the option "Audio source" in the USB options in the phone's settings completely, if it makes any difference/sense.

Yes, my unit works perfectly with Android Pie, stock and custom ROM. What build are you using? Maybe something is corrupt

I'm no stock Android Pie, tried the adapter with February patch. Unfortunately adapter just stopped working with all of my devices (got really hot and then died completely), so can't verify with March update.
I'm going to visit an Apple store and try their USB-C - 3.5mm adapter, it is being said to be of a very high quality and is just 10USD/EUR and available locally, so I don't have to wait more than a month for delivery of another Hidizs from China.
Apple dongle behaves the same. Working when connected within ~1 minute after reboot, won't work on later (re)connection. I tried a different kernel to no avail. Would love to know why is it happening.
Edit: it happens that I'm forgetful, see explanation below
Oh my.. I'm stupid guys, I totally forgot that I configured recommended workaround "disable USB host" for 70000.USB wakelock couple of months ago. It was running one minute after boot via Tasker, no wonders I was experiencing this. Dongle works completely fine now (except of volume buttons on the Apple DAC). Sorry for stupid confusion.
