I know there are many posts about this, but few solutions seem to work. I recent transitioned from a Pixel 7 to a Pixel 9 Pro. On the 7 AA worked fine. The 9 not so much.
Running e/os 3.1.4-a15-20250917526795-community-caiman on Pixel 9 Pro
I tried installing as per the official instructions no go
I tried the stub apps, same error
I tried side loading AA as a system app, same error
So how did you get it working @audirs4 ? Did you install the Google Apps as per the manual mentioned above, after the ugrade to 3.3? Because with me, just upgraded to 3.3 on FP6, and the same thing happened: not connecting to my car.
Yes @bacr, I followed those instructions exactly and got it working.
The App Lounge did show for Android Auto it was installed in the search results. I had to open the details for the app and then it showed there was an update. This may have been unique to me since I had it working in A14 v3.2 and upgraded to A15 v3.2.
Just install the 4 apps as the guide states, give Google Maps location permission when using the app and enable unknown sources and you should be good!
I switched to the stub apps and they are working for me too, after I granted each of them the notification permission. Saved me several hundred MB of space wasted with the full apps.
