    Android Auto won't start

    To avoid error 8, you need to have the same date, time and timezone the same on your phone and your car. Otherwise your car wont be able to verify your phone - which causes the error 8. Also, with timezone, be sure to set the automatic DST timezone in your car (and be sure to double check if the...

    HTC One M8 and Android Auto, no audio

    Sometimes custom ROMs have a problem with AA working correctly. Try flashing back to 100% stock Android and see if the problem persists.

    Try a different, high quality data cable.

    AA shows connected on phone, head unit shows for 2 seconds then drops...

    These issues are frequently cable related. I know you said you've tried a couple of cables, but have you tried the original Samsung cable that came with the phone? Are the connectors on the ends worn, or pins slightly bent? Perhaps try a new, high quality cable...

    Does Android Auto work with Ford sync 3?

    It does sound like a Bluetooth connection (or lack of the same) issue between device and vehicle. I'd start by making car and device forget each other. Then I'd try to manually pair the phone Bluetooth with your vehicle. After (if?) that's done successfully, I'll bet AA works just fine.

    Battery Drain

    I'm very surprised. Using my Nexus 6 and Google Maps for navigation (via AA), on a 10 hour trip, I started the trip at about 80% charge and finished at 100%. 2016 Chevrolet.

    Does Android Auto work with Ford sync 3?

    I have a 2016 Ford Edge that was built mid August (2016). It has Sync 3 version 2.0 (which is necessary for Android Auto to work). Ford started installing version 2.0 in F150's and Edge's built after mid July. Android Auto and Google Maps working great.

    Honda Civic 2016 and Android Auto

    I can't directly address your concern from Honda experience standpoint, but I can tell you that my Pixel XL with Android Auto works great with both my 2016 Chevrolet and my wife's 2016 Ford Edge. Google maps works flawlessly (for me). Your music experience with Android vs iPhone might take...

    Multiple cars listed as connected

    That's weird. Neither my old Nexus 6, nor my Pixel XL do this. And I doubt it's related to the vehicle, as we both have C7's. And it doesn't make sense that it should be related to your S7 either. Well, FWIW I've never seen that behavior.

    Current Voice Command List for Android Auto?

    This does work for me. If I say "navigate to Bill Walls" (and his address is in his contact info), it works.

    FWIW: my Pixel XL works fine (every time) with both my 2016 Corvette and my wife's '16 Ford Edge.

    AA/Google map disconnects when shut off car

    When I return to car I see the dreaded "Projection" icon. I tap it and it tells me to connect my phone (which is already connected, of course). The phone has the AA screen on it, indicating that it still thinks it's connected to the car. At this point, I unplug the phone, and open Google Maps...
