Thanks Snirpo. I can confirm the 2.1.0 24/6/22 beta build works fine with intercept and DPI changes on my Pixel 5 and IONIQ 5 with the widescreen AA update. Will test stability of the connection but I'm expecting it to work as well as 2.0.2. I do notice my phone is warmer when on intercept than on passthrough. Probably higher battery drain too.
Hmm passthrough vs intercept shouldn't really matter batter drain wise. Except possibly when the dpi has been changed.
Nice car btw
Can I ask that is the domain name of the download server when downloading firmware updates? It seems that my NextDNS installation is blocking the download of the firmware update and I would like to know which domains should I whitelist.
Edit: checking the logs it seems that whitelisting *.contabostorage.com did the trick

Just to leave it here, 2.1.0 is working like a charm for me since 3 weeks or so. Not a single issue. I love it 
Same here. No issues, no complaints.Just to leave it here, 2.1.0 is working like a charm for me since 3 weeks or so. Not a single issue. I love it
I ran into a weird issue. Any time I use Google Nav, I can only control the voice volume and lose media volume control.. This does not happen when I unplug the dongle and use a wired connection.
I created a separate thread, but wanted to see if I might get any traction here. I realize this is not an AAWireless issue but I also ran into and issue when using YT Music in Drive mode/Android Auto it shows that it is 'offilne', and only allows me to play music that I downloaded to the device (Pixel 6 Pro) however when using the app itself it shows to be online. This only occurs in Drive Mode and Android Auto. I have 'Stream via Wi-Fi only' set to the off position. Is there something else I should check? If I bypass AA and use YT Music straight through Bluetooth it works fine.
Anyone experience this?

I'd love to be on 2.1.0 Beta too. Stuck on Kia/Hyundai Widescreen Update.

Guys with Kia/Hyundai Cars and Widescreen: Just activate the passthrough options in AA Wireless App if you don't use options like DPI or sink changing, this will fix the problem.
Yeah it fixes the connectivity issue. But it takes a whole lot longer to connect to AAW - at least in my case.
I had that long connection problem also before that update of my Kia Navi Firmware and not running in passthrough mode..
And I have it still with the beta firmware of the AA device.Guess thats no good news for me then...I had that long connection problem also before that update of my Kia Navi Firmware and not running in passthrough mode..
Anyway it would be nice to use AAW with Widescreen and with my own dpi settings and without the tap restrictions.Would be more than happy to report issues and give some field reports on the beta Version.

AAWireless will not start up, car shows "Searching for phone"
This is a bug in Android Auto, we are looking...support.aawireless.io
2.1.0 will also have a firmware based workaround/hack coming up.
This is not a problem in AAWireless, but in Android Auto/HU. MA1 has the same issue, confirmed with @psmedley .
Kinda odd AAGateway works, have to check what's different over there. Did you ever use The AAGateway solution before on this car?
EDIT: Actually think I might know why AAGateway works. Do you by any chance have the "Non ROOT mode" option enabled in AAGateway? When "Non ROOT mode" is enabled, AAGateway does the same "hack" as AAWireless does with firmware 2.1.0. -

I know I should ignore these posts, but these are the comments why I'm honestly considering completely dropping out any forum / reddit / social media. What's the point? We have support, we have warranty, we have a refund policy. It might be "beta" for you, but we shipped over 100k devices and believe me or not, for most, it just works. It's the same thing for all of these dongles. They will not work perfectly for all, there are just too many variables.10
I remember a post from a guy with the classic “I've been in the industry for years” claim. He said that because he had a weekly internal briefing at his workplace, you should be doing the same for us here. If you give an inch, they want a mile.
Then you have all the narcissistic Karens with zero patience that say whatever they think will get your attention so they can jump the queue. Even when you (quite rightly) post that firmware will now be staggered with no release announcement, you have an immediate request from someone with “faulty” units asking you to announce when the release will start!?!
It must be incredibly frustrating and every rational user will understand. Even if you decide against stepping back permanently, please take a lengthy break.87
Maybe in the future. We're looking into it, but it's not trivial because the CarPlay protocol is completely different from Android Auto.
We might also need an MFI chip to be able to do it, we're looking into ways around it, because we cannot get an MFI license (we tried). All the Chinese dongles just put an MFI chip on without having license.
IF we can do it we will provide it as a free update. For now I'd buy this other device if you want both. -
41This thread is dedicated for AAWireless users.
AAWireless is a device which allows you to transform your existing wired Android Auto compatible unit into a Wireless Android Auto unit.
General chat, experience sharing and community support should be expected as well as support from the developers of the product: @Snirpo and myself.19

You invented a great product and do a great job here.
Anyone who has ordered the product knows that it is a crowdfunding project, which may also have teething problems. I find it cheeky to get upset about problems, even though they are dealt with promptly here. What more should the distributors do than react to the problems here and offer solutions?
I also have problems with the device, but I was helped quickly. Even if it takes a few days.
Dear team: Keep up the good work!15We fixed the "VW Headunit crashing on skipping tracks" issue now completely. Confirmed it's a bug on the HU side, latency makes it worse. We will probably push a new firmware by the end of this week.
I will also submit a bug report to Google, cause they can fix/workaround this issue as well for cabled users.14
Yes, I'll write a full changelog next week from 1.0.0 to 1.5.0 and put it on GitHub + add a link in the app.Hello. What's new in 1.5?
A full changelog for each release would really be appreciated
Thanks for all the hard work!
