How to Setup WIRELESS Android Auto & Apple CarPlay

[@TechInTheCar]

Any questions about the process let me know!

[@bogdancernea4200]

hello there! i have a formentor 1.5 tsi dsg and also a samsung galaxy a72. although i have developer settings enabled and wireless android auto on my phone, i still can't get it to work. the car's OS seems to be on its latest version (1790 something, without showing me that there are pending updates) any thoughts on this?

[@majsternew]

Do you maybe know how to do it in Seat Leon Cupra R (5F 2018)?

[@mariopokupec2652]

25.04.2024 - Have a brand new Cupra Formentor, using a Samsung Galaxy S23 (base ver) can't get it to work on wireless. Any help and info is welcomed, Android Auto only works via USB-C Cable

[@TechInTheCar]

It sounds like issue may be the phone. Try forgetting the car in AA settings. And setting it up again. Also try turning off the Bluetooth on the phone then turning it back on and manually reconnecting the phone from the car side.

Hello, I have a Cupra Leon 2021 and I have full link installed last week but now I would like to have it wireles! I did what was in the video and also put out bluetooth but it won't work. Do you know how I can do it? I have a Hotspot and wifi into my car. Thank you Jelt Zegers!

[@TechInTheCar]

It may be that either your car or phone doesn’t support Wireless. I would check this first.

[@83craigp]

good video, thanks - any ideas on the easiest way to switch between android auto and apple carplay if you have both phones in the car and set-up already?

[@TechInTheCar]

Thanks! Turn off WiFi on the phone you don’t want to connect. Then it will disconnect and the other should connect if it’s wireless. Otherwise just swap the wire.

[@83craigp]

@@TechInTheCar awesome, thanks - will give that a try!

What is the model year / production date of the Leon in the video? I have a Seat Leon produced in November 2020 and I cannot get android auto wireless to work with Samsung Galaxy S21+

[@TechInTheCar]

Assuming your car has AA wireless which you need to check the specification of your car (or have a look at settings) then it may be your phone. I know it sounds basic but have you tried turning it on and off? This car was a brand new 2021 car just made this year.

[@zlatanbalta1111]

@@TechInTheCar thanks, its the same car as in the video, just manufactured at the end of 2020, so there might be some difference in the software or hardware, because I've been (unsuccessfuly) trying to get it to work for months. Thanks anyway :)

[@GlasgowIsBlue]

In the 2020 new Leon you cant seem to use the telephone buttons on the wheel to phone someone using carplay. Only possible by using Siri which is a pain. You know a fix for this?

[@TechInTheCar]

There is no fix. SEAT doesn’t let you use those buttons on most cars. It is not a CarPlay restriction but down to how they implement it.

[@jannikhoffmann3551]

Can you remote the left side panel, so Apple Carplay is in full screen?

[@TechInTheCar]

No you can’t. Sorry.

[@jannikhoffmann3551]

@@TechInTheCar thanks for the respond. 😊 Can't see why it should be there?

[@MM-vy7cb]

Does the map in the driver display show you the apple car play map as well?

[@TechInTheCar]

No it does not.

[@maxMax-nw9mn]

Should It work un all models? I bought a Cupra froment vz2 today, and It only shows the opción off Apple car play

[@TechInTheCar]

Yes it should, but you need to connect an Android phone to get Android Auto to appear as an option. If you have connected one and it still isn't working then you should try a different USB cable as most times that is the issue.

[@Andrei-hl2fx]

It’s not available in some countries.. i’m in romania, got this car and it’s “not available for now” . That’s what my dealer says

[@enyaq007]

Id3 and I have Huawei 0n 9 andriod not working wireless..I also read that have to be android 11 minimum.please advice

[@TechInTheCar]

Which Huawei phone do you have? The newest ones do not work with Google and that includes Android Auto. There is a support page here: consumer.huawei.com/uk/community/details/FAQ---Android-auto/topicId_7696/ If your phone should work then I would try a different USB cable, make sure it is connected to the correct USB in the car (as some only support it on one USB port). It should not matter what version of Android you have as Android 9 and above had Android Auto. If you have a phone that DOES NOT have Google there are ways to add it - search for videos on adding Google to Huawei.

[@enyaq007]

@@TechInTheCar my phone is Huawei 20 light.android auto work with wire..and don't work wireless

[@TechInTheCar]

I would try removing the car and phone and resetting the Android Auto app and trying again. It may seem obvious. The other possibility is make sure your ID3 is on the latest software because Android Auto wireless wasn’t available until the car was updated. I do have videos on the ID.3 infotainment system on my channel.

[@davidscamerajourney]

I'm not sure if you are still monitoring this video, but here is hoping... We've just bought a 2021 Seat Arona FR Red Edition. The dealer assured us that it has Wireless Full Link as standard, it was first registered in June 2021 and based on announcements from Seat around that time it all makes sense that it would indeed have wireless. Indeed, in the settings of the car I have the option to use an eSim or turn on wireless, so I'm guessing it must support it. The problem I have is that Wireless Carplay is never given as an option on my iPhone (lastest model phone, fully up to date software wise) nor on the car. On your video you could see the wifi symbol on the full link page, but it does not show on mine. So yes, at a total loss. I've even factory reset the infotainment system.

[@TechInTheCar]

I am afraid that if it doesn't show it then it doesn't support it. I think the dealer may be confused between the features. You should connect with the USB cable first and if you have wireless CarPlay as an option then if you unplug it then it will give you the option to stay connected (or click it after you have used the wire and disconnected).

[@davidscamerajourney]

@@TechInTheCar Thanks, our car must have been one of those models between the transition phase of where it became standard and yet they were still shipping cars without it. Seeing as our car has the latest infotainment unit and 100% has wifi I cannot see any technical reason as to why it would not work apart from the fact that they did not ship it with the functionality enabled by default. I'll have to take it back to the dealer, it's a huge deal breaker for me.

[@Smartphonehrvatska]

@@davidscamerajourneyhavethe same problem with my Cupra 2023. Have you been able to solve your wireless carplay? If anyone else has tips, they would be appreciated. Thank you

[@FHKGBJILBJ]

do you have to do it each time you start the car or just once?

[@TechInTheCar]

After first set-up it should auto connect everytime.

[@FHKGBJILBJ]

@@TechInTheCar thx buddy, for the video and for the reply, i'm getting mine soon , was at dealership and for android they say you have to connect the wire, was really bummed to buy a 60k (here in israel) car with wireless charging and all the tech possible but then i have to connect a cable, not the case for apple, hope it'll work

[@TechInTheCar]

Sometimes only CarPlay is wireless - I think this is because CarPlay was first to put out a wireless version so car manufacturers added it before AA wireless.

[@voqzmk2]

Do you know if this wireless Android Auto works on really any car? I just bought the latest Audi A3 and I have a Oneplus 7T Pro, getting a Pixel 6 Pro soon.

[@TechInTheCar]

The new A3 is meant to have wireless AA and CP. It is in the manual for that car. But really you will only know if you try it when you get the car.

[@voqzmk2]

@@TechInTheCar I will get the car in 2 weeks, thanks for the reply :)

[@TechInTheCar]

Let me know what you think when you get it.

[@sunnyrupalia1]

Hi having a issue with connecting, it's working with the wire but soon as you remove the wire, the option for Android auto disappears. Any help would be appreciated. I've done your normal forget device and connected from scratch but still no joy.

[@TechInTheCar]

First step; and it is very simple but important - does your car support wireless? if it doesn't then it won't work. Assuming it does support wireless projection then next obvious move is to turn your phone on and off; and if that doesn't work turn your car off and come back to it later. Let me know if any of those work and if not we can go through some more!

[@disadadi8958]

@@TechInTheCar How do you know the car does support it? I mean Seat had news that all new lineups except Alhambra do indeed support it. I have the same 10" screen and Navi plus on my Leon 2021 but there's no wireless option. Is there some specific software update or do you have any knowledge about the problem with wireless connection? Maybe I need to ask the local dealership
