Not that I know of, but an easy workaround would be the opposite of the previous posts on "get a good data cable" - i.e. get a charging-only cable. That way you get power but no connectivity through the cable effectively disabling wired AA.

Hi @Snirpo,
I know u guys are busy but do u have an ETA or any indication on when the team will work on google assistant and navigation apps through external a2dp on the drop audio sink function to go along with music apps?
in other words,
Have ALL audio media though drop audio sink and not just music apps.
This is the only missing link to have perfection with this unit and my AA..
Thanks

Did you get this sorted out? Had the same problem, had the device dissconnected during the night, worked again when I plugged it in but same story after awhile.
Yes I put in a support ticket for the issue and was told my device is faulty. They had me ship it back to some random address in Idaho for a replacement. Mine faulty one is out for delivery so I am hoping the turn around time for the replacement is quick because I used mine heavily.
The manual way is to go into your connection settings and disconnect then reconnect manually ... it doesn't reboot the device though, it only resets the connection itself.
As for disabling wired AA, my solution is a good quality 30amp 12 volt charger to power my wireless charger. This way I never have to plug my phone in at all. I don't use the 12 volt accessory plug for anything else, so this solution works great for me. If you use it to plug your phone in direct for charging, then it would also solve your problem.
Yes, a charge only cable would also work
Open the AAWireless Config app on your phone. Goto Settings. Force 2.4Ghz should be 2nd from top. Also make sure your phone are connected to the aawireless.
I am using this cable for my Octavia 2019 with Mib2.5 since 2019 and it's working fine almost 2 years. Now using it also for AAWireless and have no issues so far. It's about 30cm exactly what I needed for my car. So you can give it a try.
I have another issue with making phone calls using my car audio. I have Huawei GT2 Pro smart watch and it seems when my phone is connected to both my smartwatch and car bluetooth my phone calls are not going through the car system. So I have to manually go in BT setting for the watch and disable "Voice calls". The issue is that this is a temporary solution and next time I reconnect my watch this setting is on and I have again turn it off manually. Is there a way to permanently disable voice calls for my watch? My phone is Samsung Galaxy S21.

I found a solution for my problem.
1) On the 5Ghz band: I wrapped the whole AA Auto unit into aluminum foil that acts as a Faraday cage to screen rf signals. The 5Ghz signal between the mobile phone and the aa wireless was still strong enough to ensure proper operation. All outside interference were screened. This resulted into a 1000% improvement of the problems I experienced. I now use the unit that way and only get about 0.1% breakups. Will improve the faraway cage even more. I think the wifi might be over sensitive.
2) On the 2.4 Ghz band: Nothing help there. Not even the Faraday cage. I still experienced the occasional breakup. I looked at the signal again and found the following: The carrier bandwidth is only 20Mhz. Most 2.4Ghz wireless equipment works on 40Mhz as default. The reduced carrier bandwidth can be a factor here. Doubling the carrier width to 40Mhz should resolve the problem. To be tested if it can get implemented.
I had the exact same issue and returned my defective dongle. I was told the same thing and I've been waiting about 2 weeks to get a reply for my replacement dongle to be shipped. Did you receive a tracking to let you know your new replacement dongle shipped?
Not yet. My defective one was just delivered yesterday. I included a note that I wanted a replacement with my shipping address like they advised. The shipping address I thought was kinda sketchy though. I had to send it to Waldorf Teacher Resources in Sandpoint Idaho and couldn't find anywhere where they were associated with AAwireless. The guy who replied in my support ticket wrote a lot of the FAQs though so I assumed everything was legit.
Yeah, I provided the same information regarding return shipping. My defective device was delivered to them via confirmed tracking to that same ID address on July 24th. The last communication that I received was July 30th telling me that they hadn't received any updates regarding my returned device. Starting to get PO'd as I used my device religiously. Hope to hear something soon.
Which "connection settings" are you referring to? The AAWireless App has no Connect/Disconnect in its settings?

Yeah my ticket was closed so I hate to reply to it, but I confirmed that mine was delivered yesterday as well (I shipped it through Paypal). I was hoping that the turnaround time was quick, but I am wondering if they are running short on devices to send out as replacements?
Maybe someone else that had exchanged for a replacement can post their experience. I know I have seen people in this thread that got replacements.
My apologies, to be clear, I meant your phone's bluetooth settings, not the AAWireless app. Disconnect it then reconnect the bluetooth. On my car I disconnect from the car's BT, connect to the AAWireless device it hands off the connection back to the car BT and triggers a reset of the wifi connection.

AA over CP is NOT a core feature. In fact even CarPlay is NOT a core feature (yet). Its beta... We dont advertise it anywhere. Its a nice extra, but that's it. Sorry but these "paperweight" comments annoy the heck out of me. Some people expect their issues to be fixed right away. That's just not how it works.2
Blue means working correctly, so you're ok.
It's not possible right now, we have to implement it. But it's quite some work and it will be pretty wonky with all the screen sizes and stuff.
AA over CP is still very much beta quality. We'll add these issues to our backlog, but right now AA over CP has low prio.2
It is treated correctly. It's on our backlog and does not have priority right now unfortunately. I do agree our support may have given false info though... So in that sense you have been brushed off. I'm sorry for that.1I never criticized the developers, once. I never communicated that my expectations were not met. I bought a product, tried it, found it didn't work for my very niche use case. It's beta, I get it. I'm not mad - a tad disappointed, but I am loading the beta updates literally every time they come through hoping it will work. I didn't return the product because I want it to work, I want to support the company, I want to help the developers get this working on my car!
I will say - wireless CarPlay with an iPhone works perfectly on the Polestar! It's a cool product. I am just hoping that AA over CarPlay will come through some day. In no way do I want to discourage the devs - please, please keep trying to get AA over CarPlay to work on my Polestar! I'd pay 2x for it
You guys don't even remotely put out a paperweight. You got me in the beta super quick, you're updating all the time. I definitely have a good impression of Snirpo and I know you'll sell plenty more of these once AA starts working on Polestars. The Polestar forums are dying to get something that works!1
We can add a feature to disable AAW temporarily. Will probably add it as an "app shortcut" so you can place it on your homescreen.Well that did not work, because the phone, a Pixel 7A, turned both Bluetooth and Wifi back on Tried it numerous times in the car with same results, away from the car both settings remained off as expected. I also want to keep Bluetooth on for hands free phone calls.

49This 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.21
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.16I just want to leave a big THANK YOU for the developers! 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.
