Android auto phone list

[Ranger]

Would be great to have a list of phones that do and do not work consistently with the MG5/ZS head unit.

I'll start.

Phone: Red Magic 3s
Os: Android 9 (Pie) Redmagic 2.0
Android Auto working?: No

Phone: Samsung S10

Let's see if we can help one another understand this head unit.

Plug in doesn't work unplug and plug back in a couple of times then it connects and works fine , bought proper cable doesn't make any difference

I have this exact problem. I've had to redownload the app many times to reset it and hope the car sees it.

I've reloaded the app as well still the same can cope with it just annoying it doesn't connect automatically.

I have a Huawei P30 Pro. Works fine with the supplied cable, now using a short lead with a 90° plug. Still works flawlessly. What am I doing wrong?

Just lucky I guess.

 

[Valiant5]

[Scorpion]

Thanks, seems odd, different Os?

 

[Norfolk Enchance]

Yep, S20+ is Android 11. X cover 4 is running Android 9. I'll leave you to guess which is the company phone! lol

Officially the Google and Pixel phones will connect wirelessly, i also have a Pixel 3a Xl which does connect all the time wirelessly. Phones with Android 11 should all connect either wireless or by cable with no issues, it seems earlier versions are temperamental to say the least

Unless you have proof otherwise, I don't think you can connect wirelessly. That feature relies on both ends having the features and I don't believe the MG5's/MG EV's head unit has that capability.

Huawei P Smart 2019......will connect but seems to revolve around USB connection setting on the phone, always defaults to charge only so if I manually change to file transfer connects and stays connected.

 

[Greglewis]

Pocophone f1 and redme note 7 work perfect android auto

 

[Villanbee]

I have a OnePlus Nord.
No issues.
