AAWireless - General discussion and support

[alda.cerny]

Hi, I have such a specific problem with AAWireless

I am using a Skoda Octavia 3 with Columbus unit (MIB2.5), I have the latest available firmware MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526 in the unit
I am using a Pixel 5 mobile phone with Android 13
AAwireless firmware version is 2.1, the last app version I tried is 3.14.0, today I got an update to 3.15.0

If I connect to AAWireless for the first time (when AAWireless is first connected by cable to the unit in the car) everything works as it should, if I connect for the second/third time (sometimes it works for a longer time) Google Assistant stops working, when I want to start Google Assistant, it is deaf (it does not answer my questions), this is connected with another problem, that the sounds in the navigation do not work in this case, the music I play from the memory card in the car / from the radio seems to be muted, but the navigation instruction is not heard

I did a reset of AAWireless to eliminate possible problems
I have dongle mode on
I tried VAG crash fix on/off

Does anyone have any idea where the problem might be? Thanks for the help

I didn't find the solution to my problem here in the thread, if it is here, I apologize for spamming

The constant AAWireless disconnection issues with Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco smartphones are due to a problem with the MIUI 13 or MIUI 14 ROM.
I had this problem and after downgrading from MIUI 13 to MIUI 12.5.8 on my POCO X3 NFC everything works fine and never disconnects even if I'm in underground parking or basement with no coverage.
The only thing that in Toyota models with MY22 navigator and connected services, does not restart AAWireless again in case of connection loss, as it happened before with MIUI 13.
Now everything works fine with MIUI 12.5.8.
Sorry for my english, it's spanish translated by google translator.

Hello,
few days ago, my phone received (automaticaly, no AA version change) the Coolwalk option (split screen display). Since then, I have discovered a strange thing :
- if I connect my phone (Galaxy A52 5G) to my car (Citroën C5AC, with NAC head unit) with a cable, the Map picture is displayed on the left half of the screen, and the radio station is displayed on the right part, as explained on the various descriptions of Coolwalk,
- but if I connect my phone through AAW dongle, the Map picture is displayed on the half above part of the screen, and the radio on the below part !
Is there a way to modify this (I prefer the basic display), for example using the DPI setting ? If yes, wich value should I try ?...
For information, I received today the last version (8.7) of AA, but no change !
Thanks for any help or advise !!!

Change the DPI. I have the same car, and I have it configured to 104, and it shows the split display left/right as you want it.

I will try tomorrow, many thanks Andres !

i got aaw recently
I have a 2018 Cruze with mylink2 and the initial setup went smoothly, and the aaw connects quickly when I get in the car, but on spotify or amazon music, I've been having random stuttering/lag issues.
I already disabled location accuracy, battery optimization, I have the latest version and firmware....does anyone else experience this?

I have a Chevrolet 2017 with Mylink and no issues at all. Works even better than on our 2018 Renault.

@Snirpo can you update AAWireless app with features like making font size bigger? I use dpi for changing new Coolwalk designs and select my preferable style but font is small, it is readable, I just thought if you can add this option to your app.

Hi Andres, i have tried 104 DPI, but it does not change the display for me ! However, I tried other values, for example 103, which change the display, but not completely as I would like : the audio source is displayed on the right part of the screen, but the apps buttons are shown on the left of the screen and not below the screen, as Coolwalk do. Also, these buttons are too small, the time is hardly readable !
I hope @Snirpo (many thanks to him) will read these messages and could find a solution so that the display of Coolwalk through AAW is exactly the same as the display of Coolwalk through USB cable...

TBH, I haven't tried Coolwalk with pure USB, but to me the view I got with the DPI set at that value is good to me... You can play with the values, I do remember that to have the "original" you must set it to "0." Did you try it? - Just play a round with different values...

 

[Dangze]

DPI at "0" is what I don't want (and on my car identical to DPI 104): the map is displayed at the above part of the screen, and the audio programm is displayed below, the apps button on the left of the screen with too small characters...
I will continue to play with various values and I will take some pictures of the various screens !
For your information, you can also try with USB connection...

Here my view... For me is good enough, the hour and left bar are readable... I do really enjoy this interface!

I used to use 130 on mine but with Coolwalk I dropped it to 128 to make things fit slightly better.

There shouldn't be any difference. Can you try to enable passthrough mode in AAW settings? If it's still not the same in passthrough mode then it's AA itself which somehow makes the dpi different wired vs wireless. If it's fine in passthrough mode, but not in non-passthrough mode, it could be a bug in the firmware.

 

[Dangze]

Thanks @Andres.Navas, @osm0sis, and @Snirpo for your answers !
Andres, I get the same view, but for me the left bar is not enough readable (I am quite older than you...).
@osm0sis and @Snirpo : I will try everything and let you know...
Regards.

Fixed this I'm a pro in DPI now

 

[Dangze]

@Snirpo
I didn't make the test yet, but I remember that 2 days ago I drove my wife's new car (Kia Picanto last model), and my phone has wiressly connected to Android Auto, and the display was exactly the same than wired AA ! That tends to prove that there is no different dpi setting in AA itself...

Which DPI value did you set ?...

 

[chrisstavrou]

Hi all, I have been using AAwireless without any problem from the device itself for which am very happy.

However, my car is a Volvo XC40 running the Sensus Headunit (not the Google Automotive one) which has a portrait screen. The current implementation of AA in this unit results in displaying AA in the bottom half of the screen in a kind of widescreen mode making AA (wired or wireless) disappointing to use. Build in navigation app, can switch to full screen which is nice but not AA.

I have also received Coolwalk on my S21 but it still displayed at the bottom 1/2 of the screen in widescreen.

I am wondering if it is possible to make AAwireless to request a portrait orientation/resolution from the headunit to test if the headunit behaves differently (or any other idea that might trigger the use of the whole screen).

Thanks
Chris

151 for my 7" stock which is perfect now
