I’ve have all 4 apps installed from the How-to and the vehicle can see the Fairphone over the USB.
I may have two issues:
1 - when I look for the Android Auto app, I only see the stub app listed in System Apps.
Is this correct?
2 - When the vehicle reports that a confirmation may be needed from the phone, none is presented and the connection attempt times out. The phone also gives a haptic response when the connection times out.
This may be a notifications setting problem, but I did not find where I could change it to allow the confirmation message to be seen.
Hi, I just got my Fairphone 6+ from Murena, and had the same issue. TLDR - updating to 4.3 solves this.
My phone arrived yesterday, I got it set up and then plugged it into the car, unaware any steps had to be taken to get Android Auto working (I had checked it was installed, and store showed it as installed - yes, I now know just the stub) - so I plugged in and was disappointed…
On my return a search then found the steps outlined (download and install all the google apps etc.), but when I installed everything - no update for Android Auto was available… Again, disappointed I searched and found this and a reddit post (same linked here)…
I looked into the ADB options, felt like I could do it - but didn’t really want to be messing with code on day one (I am no coder, but can follow clear instructions, and am pretty tech savvy) - and looking at the full deal (especially as a Mac user) I decided I wanted a fix from Murena instead… Which the upgrade to 4.3 achieves - long story short, solved by update to 4.3 - then following steps from website.
Just in case. I had 4.3 installed, and even though, couldn’t install or update Android Auto. Turned out that the “stub” was installed (as seen in the settings/apps list (viewing also system apps).
I activated the developper mode, set USB debugging, and was able to remove the stub by using adb (see links above). Then finally, I could install Android Auto from the app stores.
