I also have a problem with Android Auto, and interestingly, it worked at first. I think the issue started after one of the updates. I tried connecting to an Opel Astra and a Honda Civic — in both cases, the connection still works with my old phone, so the cable and the cars are fine. (Nothing 3a)

Hello, greetings from Mexico, here I have a similar problem, I can’t make Android Auto work in a 2018 Chevrolet Spark, when trying with 3A Pro appears on the vehicle screen that connects a compatible device and previously I had the 2nd and worked very well.

mikk_viidul I had the same! You should delete every update from the andorid auto app, clear cache, than update it in the playstore. Also reset everything regarding andorid auto on the car. After that it should be OK.

      Im facing the same issue. What should I don’t tried the debugging thing. Its not working at all.

        @“Kriszti_nheged_s”#P157650 I already did, it doesn’t work

        Subject: Issue Connecting Nothing Phone 3a to Android Auto

        Dear Nothing Support Team,

        I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out regarding an issue I’m experiencing with my Nothing Phone 3a. I’m unable to connect the device to Android Auto in my car, despite following all the recommended troubleshooting steps, including:

        Trying different USB cables

        Testing on different USB ports in the car

        Updating Android Auto and system software

        Clearing cache and storage of Android Auto

        Enabling developer mode and checking USB settings

        Unfortunately, nothing has resolved the issue so far. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this, as Android Auto is an important feature for my daily use.

        Looking forward to your support.

        Best regards,

        Al O.

          Al_Obed Please provide your car model and year, we need to reproduce this issue and analyze

            I am very interested in the Nothing 3a, but I use Android Auto on my motorcycle on a daily base.

            So using a cable isn’t an option.

            Can’t be that hard to fix this probleem?

            Pls don’t make me buy a Samsung phone 😉

            I’ve been experiencing the same issue with my NothingFont 3a (PRO), which I bought recently. I can’t get it to connect with Android Auto in my 2021 Skoda Kamiq. From what I can see, the system identifies the device as “Volcano QRD-SN…” instead of recognizing it as a Nothing Phone (as it does in Bluetooth connection). I’m not sure if this is what’s causing the USB connection problem, this id isn’t the same of Bluetooth connection.

            Same problem here_ AA used to work perfect with cable on oneplus nord and apple iphone
            Used same cable and get Volcano QRD …
            can’t reset settings on Car. resetting on phone did not work

            Having the same issue with my Nothing Phone 3a. Tried all the above fixes and no luck. Had I known about this but I wouldn’t have bought the phone - I drive a lot for work so sadly it’s a big deal for me. Ford Focus 2020.

            Still hoping for a miracle.

            C’mon Nothing help us.

            This thread needs more attention.

            How can we achive this?
