5 months of trying to figure out why my maps weren't working in my car and all I could do was charge the phone and make calls. Your video helped me figure out I had the wrong USB cord, now all is fixed FINALLY!!! Thank you!!

[@fredfirsching9848]

Thanks so much for making this video. When my car would not recognize my phone I did a lot of reading and watched many videos. Not one mentioned updating android auto. I was getting ready to take my car to the dealer. After updating the android auto app on my phone the entertainment system worked immediately on my car. Thanks again for taking the time to place this video on KZbin so everyone could access your knowledge.

[@cliffpooley1666]

i finally found a solution! After watching copious videos, reading webpages etc where none of the suggestions worked, i found that using a 3.0 and/or 2.0 hub connected to the car then connecting my phones cable to the hub worked just as it should. so far, no disconnecting at all!

[@kregg2]

Wow! Thanks, think you just solved my issue. Plugged into PC and reinstated ability to data transfer/android auto. Now it works. Think it may have cutoff when I got water in my charge port and plugged in, got a warning, and perhaps defaults changed as a safety to the connections/phone.

[@carsunlocked]

glad we could help

[@jerryfacts9749]

A very important part is the USB cord has to be high quality for data transfer. Android Auto requires high data rates to work. The cord should be maximum 3 feet. The cable must be connected directly to the USB port on the car and not using any type of hub. The bargain type low cost cords are not of high enough quality to reliably work. If your cord should be rated at USB-3, and better be rated at USB-3.1. If your car has a USB-C port this should also work very well. I found before connecting Android Auto make sure your phone is connected using Bluetooth to start with. I found when getting in to the car and starting the engine, first allow the Bluetooth connection before connecting the USB cable and allowing Android Auto to start. This allows the vehicle software to first acknowledge the phone. This will make for better stability when Android Auto connects. With some models of phone with the combination of vehicle software, for it to be able to connect by Bluetooth the phone must be connected to the USB port. During the Bluetooth setup if there is any conflict with Android Auto, temporarily disable Android Auto in your car’s setup for Android Auto. It is also important to go in to the Security setup of the phone, go to Smart Lock or the equivalent in your phone model, and set the car as a trusted device. This will prevent after security timeout the phone from disconnecting from your car’s system. With some models of phones in combination with tie software the phone will time out and Android Auto may stop responding.

[@rodneybough9164]

2. Go into the settings in your Accord select vehicle and then connections 3. Your car will search for the new device. When it finds it enable it 4. Now with the connection already made go into Android Auto. 5. Your Accord will ask you if you want to update the settings. Select yes and you will see on the screen of your phone Android Auto going through all of the updates 6. After all of that the last thing will be to allow Android Auto to be enabled and you should be all set. Good luck Oh one more thing.

I've had my car for about 2 1/2 years, and never had a problem with Android Auto until recently. For some reason, about 2-3 weeks ago, NO SOUND. Apps worked, but could not get sound, which is an issue when using Google Maps for Driving directions. Unfortunately, I've tried everything from Google Support to these KZbin videos to fix the issue. No advice works. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Android Auto and Google Maps, as recommended. That only made the issue WORSE! Went from NO SOUND, to now unable to connect. Yet my son's iPhone connects no problem, and the sound works - so the issue is definitely with Android Auto!

[@carsunlocked]

try updating the app

[@billsager5634]

@@carsunlocked Both Google Maps and Android Auto were fully updated. The last update, I believe, caused the no sound problem. Followed every step from Google Support and this video - nothing fixed the issue. Followed Google Support's advice to uninstall and reinstall both apps, which I did, and now my phone will not connect to my infotainment system. (Hyundai Sonata) Keep getting a "Cannot read USB" error message - which is a joke, as there is nothing wrong with the cables. Even bought a brand new Anker Powerline II cables. Still receive the same message. The issue is 100% Google, as the USB cables are fine (tested on different devices) and my son's iPhone connects instantly and works fine - even through cheap cables. Right now, I had to buy a phone holder, and use my phone only, for directions - using the Waze app. (Google Maps won't work in the car) Not an ideal situation, as due to state laws, can't have anything above the dashboard, (According to state law - "obstructions vision" - once got a huge ticket just for having a TomTom GPS in a corner out of vision range, but local police still issued me a summons). Problem with using the phone alone, because it can only be mounted lower than the dashboard - hard to see while driving, and Waze's directions aren't very accurate

[@billsager5634]

After contacting Google Support and receiving no help, other than the same bs of "Making Sure You Sound is On", "Make sure apps are updated" (Google's update CAUSED the damn problem), etc - as if Google thinks people are stupid. Contacted LG for help. After telling me the same nonsense as Google Support, the LG Support tech agent then tells me that Android Auto/Google Maps ARE NOT COMPATIBLE with LG products!! So I asked, why did these apps work fine on my phone for the past 3 years, and only recently stop working? The tech guy had no clue. I then told him that according to the Android Auto site, that the LG phone IS COMPATIBLE. Now the tech guy didn't now what to say, so I said "Essentially you are telling me to drop LG and buy an iPhone?" (Remember, as I mentioned previously - my son's iPhone connects instantly , has sound, and works fine, no problems.) Now suddenly LG has a "solution". He says to do a factory reset. So after backing up my data, completing the factory reset, reinstalling and updating the apps - I'm back to the original problem - NO SOUND! My phone connects to Android Auto - REGARDLESS of which cable I try (4 in all), however, still NO SOUND!!! Worse, if I walk with Google Maps for walking directions, it will voice turn by turn directions. However, in the car, regardless of whether connected to Android Auto or untethered, NO SOUND!!! Waze provides NO SOUND either when connected to Android Auto, but untethered, I can get sound through Waze. However, Waze is UNUSABLE for driving directions. Had to pick up my daughter from the airport a few days ago (Flight arrived 3:45 am) - but not only did Waze give wrong directions (Voice said turn left at 3rd Ave yet the Map showed Turn RIGHT at 2nd Ave) and because USERS can input traffic reports, seemed like every 10 seconds Waze would say "Watch out, disabled vehicle in left lane" or "Watch Out Police Activity Ahead", etc..... Those warning were most likely from rush hour - some 8+ hours earlier, and completely useless and distracting at the time I was driving! So back to the starting point - how do I get SOUND for Google Maps through Android Auto???????????. LG ThinQ35 - Android 9.0 fully updated Android Auto & Google Maps both fully updated

Nothing works for me. It worked great in my car for a year and a half, then it suddenly stopped working. Made sure to use the cable that came with the phone; then ordered a high quality, high speed cable just to be sure...nothing. Just like that it stopped working from one day to the next and it will never connect now.

That's what's happening to me

[@OminousX]

@@dylanmiller3962 I'm dealing with the same thing now I think it's the USB or a park plug

[@mrjayones3258]

This video definitely just fixed my problem! Im in a different vehicle and all I had to do was go to the settings and switch it from never, liked you showed in this video to always. Thanks a lot for this making this video.

Glad it helped!

2020 Tacoma,same problems. It should be able to function wirelessly. How many cords do i have to purchase.

[@carsunlocked]

a 2020 wont function wireless

[@YouTuber-ep5xx]

Android Auto not working? That was the case with me with my new KIA Soul. The cord was NOT the problem. The problem was that the Android Auto that came installed on my phone apparently had some issues . Once I deleted it and re-installed it, Android Auto worked.

I have a Samsung S22 Ultra and a Nissan Kicks 2021, I have not tried to connect it via USB (will try that today) but, I can connect it via Bluetooth but only for sound, I do not see my apps displayed in the screen, such as Waze or WhatsApp. I had no issues connecting via BT my Huawei P20 Pro, any suggestions? Thanks!

[@MrDamo50000]

So I can't use Android auto with my pixel 6 Pro I have the official cable but it's usb-c to usb-c is there a quality adaptor for this? As the one that comes with the phone is the wrong way round! As you said cheaper cables don't seem to work

[@carsunlocked]

does your car have a usb c connection?

[@colbruckner9190]

Maybe can you make a video about connecting android auto wireless to aftermarket android 12 head units? Can get connection on a samsung phone if i turn off bluetooth on phone after starting car then turn bluetooth back on but should connect to AA automatically with no input at all. Guessing a setting issue

[@carsunlocked]

unfortunately i do not have one

[@askarali879]

is there any country restrictions for android auto ? my one plus international version is seamlessly connecting but not my UAE version of Samsung s23 ultra ..it is not even popping up the USB preferences

[@carsunlocked]

i have no idea im not 100% sure?

[@angelawelte2159]

I had to use a better cord with my new phone. My old cord worked with my old phone, it just wasn't heavy enough to read USB on my new phone. The old cord would only charge my new phone and not read with Android Auto.

thanks for watching!

Good video. My issue is that Google assistant is screwed since the June 2022 update. Button on steering wheel no longer activates voice commands. Have tried everything. Suggestions welcome. Thank You

[@carsunlocked]

maybe try updating your android auto app

[@tinaf600]

All I did was go and get the cord that came with the phone and now all the sudden it works. Wow

Hi, I also got a problem with my android auto Sony, checked everything includes aftermarket radio and android 12.when I try to connect it it says " Not available while driving" Car is in Park mode, checked every single settings and nothing, would you Guys know anything about that? Thanks

[@borednow2292]

So....what if you were trying to fix it on your own before seeing this video and deleted your phone from the android auto settings in the car and now it isnt available to enable....?
