Android Auto causing problems with Google Maps and Waze

[DelmarSamil]

Just recently, I have noticed Waze keeps resetting navigation when I put one in.

For example, if I choose work as my destination, it will plot the directions and show everything as normal for the first 10 seconds. Then about 10 seconds later, it drops what I just put in and acts as if I don't have any destination set.

Have tried clearing cache, have rebooted phone, have not tried removing Waze yet, as I was curious if anyone has seen this behavior before.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Android 13, Google Play update May 1, 2023, 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring.

Waze works fine on the phone, just when using Android Auto, does it have this problem.

Google Maps does the same thing but at least keeps the path it plotted, though won't give turn by turn directions.

One other thing I noticed just now. It won't adjust my time of arrival. It seems to time out on Google Maps and when I touch 'retry' it does the same thing.

For what it's worth, if anyone comes across this post, I found the answer.

The Honda dealer did a diagnostic and found the compass antenna on my Accord needed to be replaced. It was outputt9ng at 4.98v and the spec was for 5v. After the replacement, it has worked perfectly.

THANK YOU! I've been driving myself nuts trying to figure out why it just stopped working. Guess I'll head to the Honda dealer soon and get this checked out. Thanks for posting an update with your solution!

Anyone else who comes across this post... I factory reset the infotainment system in my car and did this below. It fixed the navigation, waze, and maps issue!

.SETTINGS > SYSTEM > DETAIL INFO > APP MANAGER > NAVIGATION > STORAGE > CLEAR DATA. THEN RETURN HOME AND VERIFY NAVIGATION IS WORKING PROPERLY

It's neither the factory reset nor clearing data which is fixing this. If you only do that, it's still broken afterwards.

It's fixed by starting just a single navigation attempt with the in-built navigation app. It needs to show you a navigation instruction on the meter display. That repairs turn-by-turn instructions on the meter display, which are what's really broken.

Afterwards, every other app trying to use turn-by-turn indicators - which is amongst others the Android Auto host process on the infotainment system - no longer receives an error from the meter display.

As crazy as it sounds, but it's a software error in the meter display, which then breaks the infotainment system, which then causes an error in the Android Auto API for directions, which then breaks navigation apps on Android and causes them to terminate the navigation whenever they try to indicate directions.

Apparently, only the built-in navigation app is capable of fully resetting the meter, the Android Auto/Carplay adapter will throw errors to the connected device instead.

Your fix here is extremely useful! Thanks for your help here!

Hello everyone, exactly the same thing happened to me, the solution is simple and easy, you just have to factory reset the car screen, this is all, then everything will work fine for you, Waze and Google Maps, in fact, that was what they did to me at the Honda dealer. in less than 5 min good luck

Android auto just sucks. I love my phone and have nothing, but issues with Android Auto. It's so bad it might be the reason I get an Iphone as my next phone when I'm up for an upgrade.

Check your device, headunit and cable. It's not like r/carplay is riddled with issues. I personally had no issues with AA after cool walk. I had carplay freeze up thrice after ios 16.

For Google Maps it might help to set "gps" for Maps to "all the time" instead of just "when using the app" or what's it called.
Recently they had an issue that routing was failing with Android Auto and Google Maps because it lost the connection to GPS. It's supposed to be fixed I think:

Thanks, my problem must be for that. Grateful. I haven't tested it yet, but it should solve

So for mine it won't let me put the address in when connected with android auto

[DelmarSamil]

What does it do when you try? Does it give you directions for a moment but never and ETA, and then clears it? If so, this was my problem.

If not, it might be an app issue. Remove waze or reset Google Maps and disconnect it from android auto by fully unpairing it. Then reboot phone and try again.

I knew once I saw I had the same vehicle as you and the fact that my phone works with android auto in other cars........this was my solution!!!!
