There is a 1.5 cm black margin between the Android Auto (AA) content and the top of the car's display, which is only visible when I connect Xiaomi A2 lite. It didn't happen with my previous phone. Moreover, the bottom part of the AA content is not shown at all, so that this app became not usable at all.
This happens also when casting with Google photos to my home smart TV, so I don't think that AA is the problem.
Any suggestion of how to fix this issue?

i can confirm the issue. i already read about xiaomi had this problem in conjunction with the MI-UI.
with stock android one on the a2 lite it's obvious this is a general xiaomi problem.

by the way, the mi a1 didn't have the issue...

the problem seems caused by the aspect ratio (18:9)

There's on solution out there, quiet uncomfortable but's working:

- root your device with magisk
- install "SecondScreen - better screen mirroring for Android Braden Farmer" from play store
- create profile in secondscreen and activate:
Resolution: 800x480
Density: 120 dpi (hpi)

-> android car is fully working on HUR but the screen on handy is due the bad dpi very wired

may be some dev can provide a solution which only changes resolution and dpi on the HUR and keep the device screen on native resolution / dpi

hello, i can also confirm this issue.

attached is two snapshots. The first one is with My Samsung Galaxy S7, here is also good.
The secound one is the snapshot with Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. Top and bottom have a black border.

I testet this device in a Hyundai i30 (Bj 2018) and Seat Leon (Bj 2018). Also the same problem.

Guys, A2L phones come with an app named something like "comments" (in Portuguese it's named "comentários", not 100% sure of its name in English) with an orange icon. This app allows you to report bugs directly to the dev team.
I already sent the navigation bar issue when using some apps (such as Spotify).
Try sending the photos you posted here so they can fix that issue sooner or later.
Also, the more people send all those issues, the more they will realize how critical the fixes are.

solved by flashing lineage os 15.1 - treble

I found a rom which makes Android Auto working.

Upfdate: I also tried out ASOp from phh treble https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
- Android Auto is also working
- the notch is working here!

I downloaded lineage os Image for ARM64 A/B device with gapps from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...evice-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690

I followed instructions from section "Flash GSI without TWRP": https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/

So what did i do exactly?

1. Unlock bootloader (my was already unlocked)
2. Download https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...load/lineage-v21/system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img
3. Reboot to your device’s stock recovery using either a button combination when booting or issuing the following ADB command when booted in Android: adb reboot recovery. Once here, use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select the factory reset option.
4. Once your device has been factory reset, reboot to your device’s bootloader using either a button combination when booting or issuing the following ADB command when booted in Android: adb reboot bootloader
5. With your device connected to your PC, open up a command prompt or terminal window in the same directory where you downloaded your GSI of choice.
Enter the following command: fastboot erase system
Enter a command in the following format: fastboot -u flash system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img
Allow the image to flash, it could take a few minutes. Once it has completed, reboot your device either manually via power key or by entering fastboot reboot.

P.S. the rom doesn't know the notch, bust rest like camera etc. is working!
