Blank Screen on Android Auto


E
Edwin

When I start ABRP on Android Auto I get a blank (black) car display window. I can start it on my phone, and it works fine on the car until I move to another AA app and then change back, whereupon the screen is blank again and navigation stops. I originally presumed it was because I did not have the premium version so have now subscribed but it has not helped..
Car is a (new) MG4 XPower with R46 software
Phone is Xiaomi 12 with HyperOS V1.0.3.0 (Android 14)
Android Auto is V11.4.640814
ABRP is V4.7.7

The same thing has happened to me on a luxury mg4 several times, with a Samsung Zfold4 phone

How long are your weekends? The report was sent 6 days (4 working days) previously.
I saw that thread but also saw it was 2 years old and there were claims it had been fixed.
I'll try some of the workarounds in that thread this weekend (which unusually is 4 days).

Hi Edwin,

The thread I linked has the status 'in progress' since it is a current issue with Xiaomi phones.

You may see other historical statuses due to the ticket being closed and reopened in the past.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi Edwin,

I'm sorry but we normally don't work weekends :)

This is possibly related to this existing issue; abrp.upvoty.com/b/report-a-bug/bug-or-feature-android-auto/

You can try the workaround my colleague suggests in that thread;

"In the meantime as workaround you can long click on the app icon in the app drawer, scroll down to the advanced section and there you will find a setting similiar to "overlay over other apps""

No response after a week, and no response to an email report either.
Looks like I'll be cancelling my subscription if I can't use the app.
