Hi
I have Samsung Galaxy S20 with Android Version 11. Yesterday i installed Android 10 Unit for my BMW F46. Zlink app is version 4.0.7.
its not possible to use zlink android auto wireless, it work only with USB cable connected.
iPhone CarPlay work wireless.
Can someone help me, why its not working wireless for Android Auto?
hello, did you find any solution for that?
Have you opened the android auto settings and enabled the wireless android? That will be found on your phones...
Yes, it finds the bluetooth to connect with but Zlink just stays on Waiting.
Seller told me Zlink is only wired but I cannot believe all over the internet it is shown as wireless and just the version I have is not...

I have same issue, zlink just says waiting.
If I use wired connection, then android auto works...but havent managed to get it working wireless
I already tried enabling developer settings "Add wireless projection settings" and the regular Wireless Android Auto checkbox.
At this point I'm not sure if its something to do with my zlink app, when I go to the about, it does seem to offer option to get more features

I got wireless android auto working with mine. I am using the Wizanic 9" Android tablet for Nissan Altima 08-12. I would notice that when I would launch Zlink, the system tray would show wireless tethering, but there were 0 connections. I had bluetooth connected and I could use the standard bluetooth features (hands free calling, BT music, etc), but wireless Android Auto wouldn't work. These were the steps I took:
1. I had to unpair bluetooth from my phone to the android tablet. I made sure to delete the information from both the phone and the tablet.
2. Because I had previously tethered my phone to the tablet, I also removed the connection from inside Android Auto settings. Not sure if this was necessary, but I wanted to start fresh.
3. Next I started Zlink then reconnected my phone to the tablet via usb cable.
4. After it was connected and verified, I disconnected the usb cable. I went into the Android Auto settings and proceeded to connect via bluetooth. It was important that I connected the BT in this method, because previously when I would enter Android Auto settings I couldn't see the BT connection to the tablet.
5. With BT connection established, next I opened up the Zlink app. It was still stuck on waiting. Also in the system tray I could see the wireless tethering still showed 0 connections. When i clicked on the message for wireless tethering it opened up the settings for wireless hotspot. I created the wireless hotspot (make sure to take note of the name and password.
6. Add the wireless hotspot to your phones wifi manually (this is only necessary once as your phone will remember the network so this step should not need to be repeated every time you start your vehicle). You should be able to connect to the wifi of the tablet. Once your phone is connected it should say it is connected but there is no internet. That is normal.
7. If the Zlink app isn't opened, reopen the zlink app and Android Auto should start automatically. For me, Android Auto started once the wifi connection was made because I still had zlink open.
8. Each time you start your vehicle, Android Auto will not start automatically. You have to repeat steps 5+7 (6 is not necessary). It is important to repeat step 5, just make sure to use the same credentials you used initially. After you repeat step 5 your phone should automatically connect. Although one time I had to enable WPS in the tablet settings to get my phone to connect.

Hope that can help you get wireless AA.
Autokit - Wireless CarPlay Dongle Special for Android Head Unit
Download Autokit Apk file and install it in your android car stereo. Let your car have CarPlay and be wireless.

Does Zlink have the android auto wireless icon?
If so it's pretty easy to solve actually, but a little annoying haha.
1° Make the following adjustments in Android Auto:
Click a few times on version on the android auto screen until the pop-up asking if you want to enable development options appears, click yes, click on the three dots in the upper right corner, and click with developer settings. Here you can make some adjustments to your liking, but the option we are looking for at this moment is video resolution, set it so that it accepts up to the highest resolution allowed, in my case for example 1920x1080 or 1080x1920, go back to the previous screen and look for the option Start android auto automatically and switch to always option.
2° Making the wireless connection:
Open Zlink, at this moment your device is already connected with the head unit so zlink does not make the necessary switch for it to work wirelessly, disconnect your device from bluetooth and wifi, turn on wifi and bluetooth again, when connecting with the head unit again, the head unit will automatically create a hotspot point and android auto will connect, it takes a few seconds.
Note 1: If in the zlink settings you have the option to adjust resolution for HD screens, disable this, this causes the android auto to not connect wirelessly!
Note 2: for the next times, just open zlink, disconnect bluetooth and connect again wait a few seconds, if it doesn't work, turn off wifi and bluettoth and turn on wifi and bluetooth in this order.
Hope this helps.
Im on a KSW unit with 12.3" screen and SD662. Firmware 2.4.2 Android 11. All works and no issues. AA with ZLink works without issues once I open zlink (I think its zlink 5), AA starts up, BUT HD is not working (HD is on in settings, but screen is not fully filled). It looks like a 4:3 picure with big black bars right and left.
if I turn OFF HD in ZLink, I have fullscreen, but its not HD. When I got my HU first in May 2022 (I think back then it was firmware 1.5.2) HD setting in ZLink changed my AA to HD and fullscreen..
Any idea how I can get HD and fullscreen on my unit?
THANKS!

I've followed these steps but android auto still won't open. My phone says it is connected and screen keeps flashing (seems it is trying to open android auto but can't) but on Zlink it just says "connecting".
I also wasn't able to open android auto via usb. Would there be any settings I need to change?

I have the same problem, here's what I do.
-Uninstall android auto
-unpair BT device with Headunit
-Pair your phone with Headunit
-open Zlink app and see if the connecting green arrows in the center are showing... if they are, close the app (zlink) and update or reinstall AndroidAuto... when its done open Zlink and it should work.
IF THE CONNECTING ARROWS ARE NOT SHOWING, no need to close the Zlink app, just update android or reinstall it and it shoul start connecting.
my problem is that after this connection, the next time i get on my car AA wont launch and i need to do this steps all over again...
ALSO, i did What post#12 from lukinha says WITH some EXTRA steps:
Inside android auto cofig I used start android auto autmatically ALWAYS.
once you're developer (clicking android auto version several times) , INSIDE AA configuration...click 3 dots on right upper corner...Developer settings...and in Aplication mode i used programmer... I used my stereo resolution up to 1280 x 780.
i dont know if all of this helps, but i did it anyways.
Now, try to connect and if it doesnt just disconnect wifi and bluetooth and reconect again... android auto will start searching and Zlink app should pair.
HOPE THIS HELPS, IT WORKED FOR ME.

In your case is more easy to solve bro.
1° Enable your 4G, 3G....
2° when zlink has created the hotspot and you are connected to bluetooth, disable your wifi and bluetooth and enable again. wait about 10-15 seconds and Android Auto will appear.
Edit: Added video with instructions... Really sorry for my bad english.
In the minute 1:18 the mic has failed, turn off the wifi and bluetooth and enable again...
I'm having a similar issue of not being able to connect to Andriod Auto via my M.I.C' GT464EA AI Box with Andriod 10. It doesn't use Zlink app it uses "Multiplay". After creating a hotspot on the AI box and connecting to it from my phone's wifi and via bluetooth it says "Connecting" then eventually it stop and hangs on "waiting". i tried turning off wifi, bluetooth, turning them on again but doesn't fix it. On my phone's navigation/tray it says "looking for android auto". The AI box functions are working fine but no matter what i try to do i cant seem to get a connection to Andriod Auto. Would really appreciate any assistance.

Yes i have and no good.
In saying that i've had to take drastic measures and upgraded the unit from Android 10 to Android 12! still need to mess around with it a bit but will report back results in due course
Hi,
I just managed to get Wireless Android Auto working on my Isudar MNS790ADSP Android 11 Head Unit (PX6, Exact type is NA02R6VW0702)
I have Zlink app version 4.0.41.13:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I had to enable "Wireless Auto" in Zlink settings (you have to scroll down in settings to see that option) - it is disabled in default for some reason:
After those settings everything started to just work.
===============================================================================
Another important and kinda undocumented thing is, you have to Install these apps in your phone:
Google: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
Google Text-to-speech: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts
Google Maps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps
With those apps uninstalled/disabled (Like I had) it does not work. Zlink will stay in waiting screen forever while on phone you will experience "Android auto - Searching" (or something like that, I do not remember exactly).

Hy guys, after many, many, many tries. After trying with AAGateWay (thank you Emil Borconi for your hard work). After, after, after... I finally managed to get it working. Android Auto Wireless in Portugal with a Portuguese carrier (Vodafone). Lets explain how.
My HeadUnit (radio): Pioneer AVIC-Z910DAB (it has Wireless connectivity)
My phone: Pixel 2 with factory rom Android 9
My carrier: Vodafone Portugal
Setup:
1 - remove sim card
2 - uninstall Android Auto
3 - switch language to English US
4 - delete paired Bluetooth Head Unit
5 - delete previously connected wireless SSID of Head Unit (if any)
6 - reboot phone
7 - switch on Airplane mode in Phone
8 - install Android Auto
9 - go to Android Auto app and set it up. Enable Developer Settings. Go to developer settings and select "Add wireless projection to settings" option. In AA settings disable Limit WiFi, Autolaunch and Use Bluetooth (all other options as you which). Reboot phone.
10 - go to Android Auto again, settings and enable Wireless projection. Exit AA.
11 - with Airplane mode on switch on only Bluetooth and pair it with the Head Unit - disconnect it right after pairing is accomplished
12 - switch on WiFi and wait until phone connects to Head Unit wireless SSID
13 - with WiFi connected switch off Airplane mode and Bluetooth should connect to radio right after.
14 - if all above successful you should get AA started in your phone and asked to set it up. IF NOT, connect USB cable and set it up (disconnect right after), switch on Air Plane mode and repeat steps 12 and 13.
15 - if connection successful you can insert Sim card and switch language to other than English US (remember that Google Assistant does not work with all languages)
Now, to automate all this and not having to switch on airplane mode, switch on wifi, switch off airplane every time, i use MacroDroid. Its free and pretty much easy to configure. Here's how:
1 - phone needs to be rooted
2 - in macrodroid app: add macro. Trigger: Connectivity: Bluetooth Event: Device Connected (select your radio Bluetooth). Action: Connectivity: Airplane Mode On/Off: Airplane Mode On: Keep Wifi On. Add another Action: MacroDroid Specific: Wait Before Next Action: 5 seconds. Add another Action: Connectivity: Airplane Mode On/Off: Airplane Mode Off. Add another Action (this one is important to prevent trigger loop): MacroDroid Specific: Enable/Disable Macro: select macro with what ever name you gave it (in my case i name it 1): Disable macro.
3 - still in macrodroid app add a second macro: Trigger: Connectivity: Bluetooth Event: Device Disconnected (select your radio Bluetooth). Action: MacroDroid Specific: Enable/Disable Macro: select macro with what ever name you gave it (in my case i name it 1): Enable macro. This second macro is to enable the all process again after you leave/disconnect you car/radio. For better understanding see photo below.
And that's it. It works for me every time i drive my car. Hope this can help some one else as Google is stubborn enough to keep Wireless option to him self
UPDATE
This also works in Android 10.
This solution probably works with other Head Units (radios) and other countries.
Interesting.
So if I understand that right I need only a unit who has WiFi?
My Ford Mondeo built in head unit has WiFi, but does not support wireless Android.
Does it also work? Because as I see your head unit has build in wireless Android Auto Support.
Bit you have only the problem that it is not working in your country. Right?

As for you radio model i dont know. You have to try. Follow the guide.
Hello:
I have an android bluetooth radio in the car and I would like to know if there is any application, how are you for smarthwatchs, which sends notifications via bluetooth without internet
since I have found some that synchronize notifications but over the internet, and I only give the internet to the radio when I'm interested
Cheers

Unfortunately AFAIK there are no Bluetooth-only apps for this job, but there is one free/no-ads app that works via WiFi, so the head unit has to be connected to the same wireless network as the smartphone (hotspot usually, or a usb wifi dongle). No internet required.
The app is EasyJoin Essential
https://easyjoin.net/android.html
You can get it also on XDA.
I've tested it, a received notification can be shown on the HU in 3 ways: as a standard notification, as a popup, or as a toast.
Due to the small text visibility problems and to the short time when the notification remains on screen I prefer the popup way which remains on screen until you click on the X in the window's upper right corner.

Thank you very much, but every time I get in the car do I have to make an access point?
Or can I make my phone connect to the wifi of the automatic car?
On the other hand I have tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lumatjiang.watchdroidassistant&hl=es and it works on two mobile phones
but in the android head unit you never get to connect, not even with QR
I have set a Tasker task to start the smartphone hotspot as soon as the smartphone bluetooth is connected to the head unit.
Then the HU wifi automatically finds the smartphone hotspot and connects to it.
Then you can set another tasks to start the EasyJoin app, or manually start the app on both devices.
It's not very easy to setup, but can be done with a little effort.
Other similar apps (free and simpler)) can be used instead of Tasker.
I will try to see if I can share the connection by bluetooth
The bluetooth stack of the android head units has apparently reduced functionalities compared to the smartphone and smartwatch bluetooth stacks, so even bluetooth tethering is generally not available.
it's true, it doesn't connect to the internet with bluethoot
Hi, everyone. I've been using my 8 Pro without issue on my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee since I got it, but ever since I updated to Android 11 last week my radio system has been rebooting every 3 minutes on the dot if my phone is connected via Bluetooth. No phone call or music needs to be active, it just has to be connected. When I turn off Bluetooth and the phone is disconnected, no issues whatsoever. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Also, if I choose to downgrade, will it be an in-place downgrade and keep all of my settings and files, etc (just like the upgrade was) or will it wipe everything? I have no issue downgrading, I didn't dislike Android 10; I just want to make sure I won't have to setup everything from scratch.
Thanks for your time!

Can't comment on your Jeep, if it's Android Auto I'm advised that 11 works fine, however my centre clock mod does break the icons.
In regards to the downgrade.. no you will have to wipe, it's not possible to retain system data, I'm not sure about data but I would assume not.
Although I was able to upgrade to 11 from 10 without losing storage data, I don't believe it's possible in reverse, it also carries an inherent risk so be sure this is the right thing to do..
You will have to set up again.
In regards to your Jeep how are you connected?
Is it android auto? Or simply Bluetooth?
I would obtain another Android device also on Android 11 and see if it exhibits the same symptoms.
There are some Bluetooth options in developer options, they may be worth exploring.
If it's Android auto then I would make sure that android auto isn't being optimised for battery in settings
Settings /apps /android auto /battery /
Set to don't optimise.
Failing at 3 mins consistently is a telling symptom.
Hope this helps

It's just a straight Bluetooth connection. I used with my old 1+6 (android 10) and always works great.
I have the same problem with my Jeep Renegade.
Also, when the phone is connected via bluetooth, the USB input doesn't work.
The system is "Uconnect 5.0 System"
I am having the same issue with my 2016 Jeep Renegade using Uconnect 5.0. My phone is a OP 8 Pro
Same here, 2016 renegade and OP 6T, head unit randomly restarts after Bluetooth connection is made.
I've turned of media sharing off on the phone as someone suggested as workaround.
Is there a solution?
thanks to @Shackleboyrusty
Like many here, the android 11 /oxygen 11 update to my 7T crashed my car's uconnect system. Here's a fix that worked for me:
1) Unlock developer mode: settings > about phone > repeatedly tap "build number" until it unlocks
2) Go back to settings, then system > developer options
3) Scroll down to "Bluetooth AVRCP Version" and change it to "AVRCP 1.3"
Alternate 2/3 - search settings for "Bluetooth AVRCP" and change to 1.3
That's it, good luck!
Hello. I bought from AliExpress android headunit for audi a6. In main manu it have "phone" and there I am able to connect phone for calls and music play. I wanted to connect obd2 bluetooth adapter to this android unit but cannot enable bluetooth at all. It has system settings, under that there is android settings. And those are classic tablet settings for Android. There is Bluetooth option, but when I try to enable it, it refuses. Like factory disabled that.
Is there any way to acrivate that Bluetooth like on normal phone or tablet android?
Activate Developer options, check your settings there. Network reset. Clear system cache.

I will try that. Do You think that it has Bluetooth like any other tablet, just restricted by software? Seller told me that doesn't support obd2, only for phone connection.
Cannot turn it on. Video attached
Found bluetooth config and switches to BT transfer. (Was BT phone). Now it works
I have the same issue. Can you tell me exactly how you fixed it. How did you get to Bluetooth config. I may have gotten to it, but I see bt phone or bt audio emission. I'm also trying to connect a bluetooth ObdEleven

Anyone have luck with getting android auto to work on your roadanvi units? I cannot get it working.
I see similar questions frequently here.
With 8g / 128g your unit has absolutely sufficient resources to run all the apps you would need by itself so just load the apps directly on the unit and put away your phone. Why anyone in your situation wants Android Auto escapes me.

Internet.no matter how you swing it, you have to connect your radio to the internet to use all those apps, plus it's much more snappier to use all those apps when they are being accessed through Android auto vs just adding the apps to the radio and using them. Also call audio is horrible over Bluetooth for some reason.

I've been doing the phone Hotspot thing for a while but that is still relatively a few more clicks than I would like to do when getting in my car. I would like to get in May car plug in my phone, and just use it, not plug it in, turn on Hotspot click on radio, make sure it connects to Hotspot, then run Spotify then go home and then run Google maps.

Do you not have Autolink (or Tlink) preinstalled to connect your phone to Android Auto?

So I do but autolink just gets stuck on the connecting message. There have been a. Few times were it briefly went all the way through to Android auto but it closes like 5 seconds later.
Well if i was you would i first try to unbind Autolink to your phone (and the same on the headunit) then reconnect everything again be sure to have bluetooth and WiFi activated when u do this. If the same problem still occur.
Try Tlink 1.95 (im not sure it will work for your headunit but its worth give it a try) to activate it must you be online (WiFi hotspot or similar) in the settings of Tlink can you choose several settings like autoconnect on wireless/wired and so on and it will autostart Android Auto.
Check your Autolink settings also and see if you have it set to autoconnect and if its a activated version.
Here is a link to Tlink 1.95

I wonder if that's the same issue then, both for my Porta register a connection but it just doesn't translate to android auto
UPDATE: Finally got android auto to work. its very glitchy sadly. My process was to uninstal the various Link apps, uninstall android auto, uninstall head unit reloaded.
Then reinstall Android Auto, Autolink, and head unit reloaded. Android auto will still give the "auto no longer available on android devices" message and autolink will never say connected but as long as I open all 3 apps then plug in my phone, it will start the android auto interface. As I said before, its still very laggy, almost unusable at times and I've still not able to play any music. Anytime i press play, it plays for 5 seconds and shuts off, this has been an issue outside of android auto as well.
