    Why Do Major Update Cause Issues with AA?

    Every time there is a major OS update Android Auto stops working on all head units requiring you to forget all pairings and start over. I have four AA Head Units in different vehicles and have to forget and pair all over again...:-(

    Security Update Removed Clock?

    I received a 90+ meg security update yesterday that loaded without my blessings and now my Clock in the middle of the home page is gone. Anyone else or is this an ID10T error?

    Any PIxel 2 XL Owners See Connection Issue Resolved With OS 9?

    I received notice of the OS 9 update but I'm very reluctant to install without confirming that it resolves the connection issues with Android Auto that I have been battling since late December 2017. The update from 8.0 to 8.1 inadvertently destroyed the connection to AA. Needless to say I'm gun...

    I have a Pixel 2 XL that has had major issues with Android Auto starting in December of 2017. I'm reluctant to allow the update without confirming from others that the Android Auto connection issue is resolved. I currently have AA working intermittently and don't want to lose what little...

    OS Updates Fixing the Pixel 2 XL?

    Hi All, I have been battling with my Pixel 2XL since the OS update caused the Pixel 2 XL and Android Auto to no longer function correctly in any of the three vehicles that have AA head units. I attempted to get Google to warranty the Pixel 2 XL (as they have for others) with no luck. I have...

    Bizarre Android Auto Issue

    I have been pulling my hair out trying to resolve this issue with no luck. I currently carry two cell phones; one a Google Pixel XL, and the other a Google Pixel2 XL. Both devices are running 8.1 OS and both have an identical installed app list. If I attempt to connect the Pixel XL (via USB...

    Android Auto Issues

    I recently installed an Android Auto head unit in my Dodge Truck. Initially prior to the 8.1.0 OS update it worked without issue on both of my devices (Pixel XL & Pixel XL2) but now the Pixel XL2 will not always recognize that it is connected via USB cable. If I plug in the Pixel XL it launches...

    Android Auto No Longer Launches

    In the last several months I have installed several Android Auto capable head units in our vehicles that have functioned without issue. I recently received the 8.1 OS update and noticed that AA no longer 'launches' when connected to the Head Unit with the USB cable. Unfortunately, I also...

    AA Settings - What Am I doing Wrong?

    In the last 6 months or so I have replaced several Head Units with aftermarket Android Auto capable units in our vehicles. While I'm very happy with the functionality, I'm having issues with Android Auto not giving me 'notification' of new SMS messages. Evidently, when receiving a new SMS my...

    Lost Connectivity After OS Update

    After receiving Oreo my Pixel XL is experiencing issues with connectivity. It will no longer connect via Bluetooth to any of my vehicles. If you manually 'connect' it drops a few minutes later. It also will no longer allow my Wear24 Watch to connect to the Pixel XL. None of these issues were...

    Clear System Cache Pixel XL 7.1.1

    I apologize for the 'stupid' question as I'm not a tech idiot but I have searched here and globally and do not see the answer. The instructions indicate that with the device powered down you hold the power, volume up, and home button until you see the logo. How do you hold the home button which...

    I feel 'stupid' even asking but I have searched both here and globally and do not see an answer. The Pixel does not have a gallery with all photos going to the cloud. How do you retrieve them to a CPU? Thanks!
