Huawei P Smart - Android Auto issue - Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers

Hi all,
i have a Huawei P Smart (dual Sim) updated to September patches of Google (EMUI 8.0 and Android 8.0). The model is FIG-LX1.
The smartphone is not rooted and i have a problem with Android Auto in my car headunit.
Previously i had a Huawei P9 Lite that was able to connect to my car by Android Auto correctly and it showed correctly on the car screen (i was able to use maps and other apps in the car by the car screen).
Now Huawei P Smart is not able to connect to my car. When i plug the USB in the car, the smartphone is only in charge and the car doesn't recognize the device.
My car is Opel Corsa 2016 (and it is compatible with Android Auto).
Do you have advice to solve this issue? Any workaround?
Thanks in adance

I am using android auto with my rooted Huawei P8 GRA-L09 B200 and my Pioneer AVH-X8700BT. It needs ~10sec to start but it works. Sometimes android auto crashes after some minutes but then it starts again and works fine.
To setup android auto you will need to apply the parking break.
Same issue with the p8 and android auto, can't connect.
I'm having the same issue, cannot connect the Huawei p8 running Android 7 to the Cadillac Que system with android auto. So frustrating.
Same here, with a Kenwood DDX9016DABS head unit. Works fine with Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.
OP3T
I have now got a OnePlus 3T and android auto is night and day different. It connects immediately no lag what so ever never crashes and is reliable as the car dash itself.
I cannot believe the difference. On my P8 it was quite laggy but on the OP3T it's snappy as you like.
I never used Android Auto on the P8 once I finally got it working as it always seemed a faff to get it going. Now on the OP3T I use it all the time.

Android Auto - Car Launcher Pro

Hello.
I just bought Car Launcher Pro.
I would like to use it with my new Fiat 500S equipped with Android Auto.
But when I connect the smartphone (Nexus 6P with Android Oreo) to the car via USB, I see only the Android Auto interface and not the Car Launcher Pro interface. Can I make some mistakes? Is there any suggestion?
Thank you.
The default launcher in your panel was Android Auto. That's y upon connecting the phone it popped up.

mirrorlink android auto head unit on smartphone

Hello,
I just bought a new Android cardvd system with Android 8 installed.
I can use the mirrorlink from my Android smartphone to my Android cardvd.
But is it possible to connect my phone to the cardvd where my phone is the remote, not the host? (kind of remote control)
Thank you

Help Identifying Chery Cars Head Unit (2020-..)

Hello all,
I have been struggling to upgrade or at least Identify my head unit on the Chery Arrizo 6 Pro car , i know for a fact that it is android based (when editing the car name in the head unite, it shows a familiar google G-board) thought it has CarPlay, it doesn't have android auto, and the screen mirroring function are not the best.
Though i just my car this week, I found out that since i got it from a deal showroom, all its system on v1.0, it will be a while tell i go to the official dealer (long drive, you do not wanna know)
so if anyone out there who are facing or no a solution to this issue for Chery cars, just leave your good comment below.
on a side note, is there an app that can spoof the carplay to run android auto in it?
Quick adding to my thread, this is my software right now
My car is chery Arrizo 6 Pro
AKA Chery GX, or Chery Arrizo 5 plus (they all have the same head unit)

Model: 8227L for Smart (2019)

I acquired this Display with a used car, it has already android 11.Where do i find proper Updates, maybe user Manual.
Is a online-Update possible?
Iphone 10 carplay only via USB or is bluetooth an alternative?
Thanks
