I'm in the UK. There is no ban on Huawei cell phones here - that only applies to their equipment in the 5G network infrastructure.

Thank you for confirming that. So now I believe this is an issue related to my Huawei P20 phone. There is a clue in user manual that came with the Android Auto MMI unit that mentions incompatibility with Huawei mate 20. I'll probably give up on a solution now and just use the USB connection instead.

Is your phone running Android 12? With mobile data set to on, my Android 12 phone gets no internet while connected to wifi.

Thank you for the pointers. I've already set the 'mobile data always on' in developer mode, but it didn't work.

Apparently in Android 11 developer mode there was an option for this, but I can't find a way in Android 12. The problem I have is that as soon as my phone wirelessly connects to the Android Auto device in my car, it is unable to access the internet, so apps won't work. None of the settings for...

No, that can't be right - my P20 came with Play Store preloaded and I'm using Google maps, Gmail and so on. So the conflict when connecting via wifi that prevents the use of mobile data (even when it is activated) is an Android 12 thing? Surely this must have come up millions of times with...

Wasn't that ban only introduced in the USA? I'm in the UK, so don't think it applies here.

And it definitely works in factory spec through a USB cable.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that! Yes, maybe it's something to do with spygate, although it's a bit weird that the phone came preloaded with Android Auto, which itself it basically a load of Google apps.

Thanks for the suggestions. The screen resolution seems okay with the option ticked for the MMI box to negotiate res with the phone. That link is interesting, because my Huawei appears to be doing the same as the Xiaomi. I have tried a Moto G6 phone running EMUI 9 through a USB cable and the...

Today I read that in order to use Android Auto on a phone with EMUI 12, you need to go via Google Assistant. Having tried that, I don't see how it's possible - is that right?

Thanks. I asked a question on the help and how to forum yesterday and nobody has replied yet. I really need help to get an Android Auto MMI box working with my phone.

Hi, my first post, so please be gentle. I'm having problems connecting my Huawei P20 Pro with the Android Auto MMI box that I just installed in my BMW. The phone is supposed to connect wirelessly to the box, enabling the use of apps on the phone (like Maps) to be displayed on the car's screen...

Hi to all you clever people. I'm joining from the UK, because you guys know this stuff and I don't! I've been installing an Android Auto MMI box in my car and am struggling to make my Android phone comply. Sorry to say that I'm probably gonna be asking for help more than contributing.
