Just a heads up for people that are looking out how to solve the issues with Huawei/honor phones with Android auto: Allthough this issue has been reported as early as 2016, this is still not solved. The newest models of both Honor and Huawei with Android Oreo still suffer from the same issue.

Huawei P8
Huawei P8 Lite
Huawei P9
Huawei P9 Lite
Huawei P9 Plus
Huawei P10
Huawei P10 Lite
Huawei P10 Plus
Huawei Mate 8
Huawei Mate 9
Huawei Mate 9 Pro
Huawei Mate 10
Huawei Mate 10 Lite
Huawei Mate 10 Pro
Honor 6
Honor 6X
Honor 7X
Honor 8
Honor 9

Problems reported are
- black screen when connecting
- No in call screen
- Waze not working
- Media not playing correctly

I've made a facebook page to adress this issue and to gather the people confronted with this issue : https://www.facebook.com/Huawei-NOT-compatible-with-Android-Auto-187291041864969/
If you are faced with this issue, like and follow this page in order to put some pressure on Huawei/Google to solve this issue. I'll post every update/possible fix on this page. Let's hope there will be a fix asap.

Is this xda page owned by the same person who created @huaweinotcompatiblewithandroidauto facebook profile?

Please add Honor 8, 9 and P9 Lite to the list.

I 'm on BLA-L29 too, and it's not working. Works perfectly with a Note so it's defenately the phone that messes up.

I have no in call screen on my head unit and with every reboot I have to wipe all data of AA to make it kinda work.

Using stock cable btw.

You're lucky :D

Just trying to narrow this issue down

What's your build? Here I have 8.0.0.29 (C432) in Belgium.

Very weird that some units have it, others don't.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro here (BLA-L229 8.0.0.128(C636)), not working with AA as well. Sometimes I am able to see the time and temperature in the top right corner. Otherwise everything is black. After disconnecting the phone, the screen stays blank until I turn off the car.
The same in-dashboard screen works perfectly with a Samsung Galaxy S7 and an iPhone 6s (CarPlay). Tried different cables (original too) and tried reinstalling AA, but no luck.
Car is a North American Chevrolet Cruze 2016.

Mate 9 (Nougat and Oreo) AA working fine MINUS CALL SCREEEN, with Pioneer Z5050BT, although Waze was wonky from the start (Nov-Dec '17). With AA 3.0, everything seems quite stable on Mate9.

P10+ Nougat freezes often despite having the same setup. Funny cause they are using similar hardware.

Honor View 10 does not work with 2017 Seat Leon with Full Link
Only black screen. I can hear Spotify and G assistant - any chance that Huawei/Honor will fix that?

Android auto aka AA, works with Huawei p10, 02/27-2018

Greatings from Denmark!!

Just installed AA on my p10 today, so it works now. I installed it from apkmirror the newest version.

If AA is not avaliable in your country, then use a vpn(set to Germany) . That's what I did since AA is not avaliable in Denmark. After setup and testing AA Uninstall vpn and you are all golden!!!!!

I got this working on a seat Ibiza 2016 1,0 tsi orginal multimedia radio.

My Honor 6x keeps giving me the message "to use android auto please park your car and check your android phone" Nothing works and I keep getting the standard USB port message asking me to hwether I want to use just for charging or MTP . But my choice always defaults to charging and AA does not work. AA loads on the phone but nothing on my Pioneer 5090BT HU. I am on EMUI 5.0. BLN-L22C65B340. Please help.
