wireless android auto

[JoBudden]

Has anyone attempted to get this working?

 

[Mike Dee]

Are saying the Note has that feature?

You need a head unit that supports it.

 

[JoBudden]

yes I have the Kenwood 9905s which supports wireless android auto. just wasn't sure if the phone was compatible I can't find a definitive answer thru Google

That's a feature of Android P. What makes you think Note 9 has it???

 

[JoBudden]

it's not just a feature of Android P. it's been said that phones on oreo can have it to if the manufacturers update their phones for it. I was in my local car stereo shop today and they were saying they thought the note 9 was on the list

I didn't know that. Might not be on the 9 just yet, but I am interested in that feature myself. Hope you figure it out.

 

[JoBudden]

unfortunately it's not compatible yet. and who knows when we will see android P which is probably going to be our best bet for seeing it haha

 

[Carrie Greicar]

Yes I'm using it in my car

Not true. I hoped up my phone to my car via Android auto. It's a note 9 on oreo.

We are talking about Android Auto over Bluetooth. You have Android Auto working without plugging in?

 

[JoBudden]

to be clear I'm not talking about android auto working on your phone thru Bluetooth. I'm talking about your cars radio be able to display android auto without having the USB cable.

 

[Carrie Greicar]

Have to double check when in the car but i believe it was working through bt

Ok nope not via BT. Sorry!

If not through Bluetooth nor wire then how do head unit & phone connect for Android Auto?

 

[JoBudden]

it's actually done thru WiFi not Bluetooth from the research I've done.

Looks like you are correct. And I don't think any oem car units even support it yet. Kenwood is said to have some compatible equipment. Looks like it's not going to do anything for me and my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Disappointing.

 

[JoBudden]

yea I have the kenwood 9905s. it's capable. pretty annoying honestly. 1300$ phone shouldn't be limited by software haha

Sorry to pull this from the depths, but yeah, I believe this feature is currently ONLY available on Pixel devices... =\ Kind of a bummer, as that's one of the reasons I bought my head unit for, but google seems to be locking it down for their flagship devices only for now...

Hell I can't even get a wired AA to work properly with this phone!

 

[JoBudden]

Not to beat the dead horse. But now that the official Pie is rolling out. has anyone got wireless android auto to work successfully.

To be clear I don't mean have it launch on your phone. I mean does it connect to your head unit and your head unit display without having to plug it in. preferably looking for someone who has a Kenwood DDX-9905s head unit.
