Android Auto是一款应用程序，可让您的智能手机与汽车一起工作，就好像它们是一个系统一样。当它工作时，它是让您的音乐、GPS和通信应用程序在一个系统上运行的绝妙方式。
当它不起作用或不断失败时，您可能会觉得您正在与您的车辆搏斗。如果 Android Auto(Auto)无法运行，您可以尝试以下一些常见修复。
1. 你的车兼容吗？
您必须确定的第一件事也是最重要的事情是您的汽车是否支持 Android Auto(car supports Android Auto)。它可能只支持竞争对手的Apple Carplay标准，或者与您的车辆不兼容。
2. 您是否连接到正确的汽车(Right Car)？
如果您将手机设置为与多辆汽车无线工作，Android Auto可能会无线连接到错误的汽车。在您沮丧地扯掉头发之前，请检查您是否真的连接到您打算连接的汽车。
3.重启你的手机
这是针对任何与Android(Android)相关的问题的最基本的故障排除步骤。关闭手机，然后重新打开。对于较旧的Android手机，这就像按住电源按钮(power button)关闭手机一样简单。在较新的型号上，向下滑动通知栏(notification shade)，选择电源图标(power icon)，然后选择关机(Power Off)或重新启动(Restart)。
希望再次打开手机电源后，一切都会按预期工作。
4.尝试不同的手机
任何故障排除过程的一个关键部分是找出问题所在。因此，如果您可以访问另一部装有Android Auto的(Android Auto)Android手机，请尝试将其与您的汽车一起使用。如果它也表现出同样的问题，那将有助于排除您的手机问题。
如果不是电话，这意味着您可以将注意力集中在汽车的系统上。如果它使用不同的Android手机工作，则表明问题实际上出在手机的某些方面。我们不应该忘记连接本身也是Android Auto的一个组件，这将我们带到下一个修复程序。
5.尽可能(USB Connection Whenever Possible)使用USB 连接
Android Auto现在提供无线版本，非常方便，您可以想象。然而，任何无线连接本质上都不如有线连接可靠。如果您通过无线Android Auto模式获得不稳定的性能，请改用电缆连接。
6.使用更好的电缆
我们已经在Android Auto上尝试了几种不同的电缆，但它们并不完全相同。一些低质量的USB 电缆(USB cables)可能会导致断开连接。如果可能，请尝试使用质量更高的电缆或干脆使用不同的电缆。这可能会清除各种可靠性问题。
还要注意电缆在连接到手机的位置是否紧贴牢固。如果手机的放置方式会对该连接施加压力，那么当汽车驶过道路颠簸时，您也可能会遇到断开连接的情况。
7.重新启动或重置您的信息娱乐(Infotainment)系统
根据您汽车的信息娱乐系统的工作方式，它可能不会在您每次上车并转动钥匙时执行干净启动。因此，值得在您的手册中查看是否有明确的方法来重新启动系统。
8.清除Android Auto的缓存
许多Android应用程序都有一个缓存，其中包含身份验证或自定义设置等所需的临时文件。如果缓存损坏或出现其他故障，可能会导致应用程序崩溃或无法可靠运行。为Android Auto(Android Auto)等应用重置缓存很容易。请(Please)记住，具体步骤可能因一个品牌的Android手机而异：
- 打开设置(Settings)。
- 打开应用程序菜单(Apps menu)。
- 查找Android Auto并选择它。
- 选择存储(Storage)。
- 选择清除缓存(Clear Cache)。
您可能还想关闭应用程序，然后再次打开它以使更改完全生效。
9. 更新一切
如果Android Auto过去可以正常工作，但后来开始出现故障，那么您需要进行一些更新。
首先，检查您的手机本身是否有待处理的更新。打开设置菜单(Settings menu)，然后查找软件更新菜单(Software Update menu)。其确切位置可能因手机品牌而异。如果有任何待处理的更新，请安装它们。
接下来，您需要检查Android Auto本身是否已更新。打开Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)并搜索Android Auto。如果有可用的更新，将会有一个更新按钮。
最后，对与Android Auto(Android Auto)一起使用的应用执行相同操作。例如，如果您使用Google 地图(Google Maps)进行导航，请确保您的Google 地图(Google Maps)应用程序是最新的。
10.更新你的车
虽然这对许多人来说可能是一个新颖的想法，但您也可以更新汽车信息娱乐系统的固件。随着Android Auto中漏洞的发现或新功能的添加，汽车制造商将为其车辆发布新软件。
您需要遵循的确切过程将在您的手册中，但通常您可能会下载更新的固件文件，然后将其复制到USB驱动器。然后，您将该驱动器插入您用于Android Auto的同一端口，并从菜单中启动更新。
11.卸载并重新安装Android Auto(Reinstall Android Auto)
有时可能会发生应用程序损坏的情况，在这种情况下，将其删除然后重新安装可能是解决方案。这是做什么：
- 打开Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)应用。
- 搜索Android Auto并打开其商店页面。
- 选择卸载按钮(Uninstall button)并等待应用程序完成卸载。
- 现在，选择更新按钮(Update button)并等待应用程序下载并安装。
如果这确实是一个应用程序损坏问题，那么现在运行Android Auto应该没有问题。
如果所有其他方法都失败(Else Fails)了，请尝试 Android Auto(Try Android Auto)的手机屏幕(Phone Screens)
如果事实证明您的汽车信息娱乐系统无法与Android Auto一起使用，这并不意味着您必须完全放弃它。有一个名为Android Auto 的用于手机屏幕(Android Auto for phone screens)的应用程序版本，您可以将其与安装在仪表板上的手机一起使用。它不像与汽车系统的适当集成那样优雅，但它仍然可以完成同样的工作。
Android Auto Not Working? 11 Ways to Fix It
Android Auto is an application that lets your smartphone work with your car as if they are one system. When it works, it’s a brilliant way to have your music, GPS and communication apps run on one system.
When it doesn’t work or constantly fails, it can feel like you’re fighting with your vehicle. Here are some common fixes you can try if Android Auto is not working.
1. Is Your Car Compatible?
The first and most important thing you have to establish is whether your car supports Android Auto. It may be that it only supports the rival Apple Carplay standard or is otherwise incompatible with your vehicle.
2. Are You Connecting to the Right Car?
If you have your phone set up to work wirelessly with more than one car, Android Auto may be connecting wirelessly to the wrong one. Before you tear out your hair in frustration, check if you’re actually connected to the car that you intended to.
3. Reboot Your Phone
This is the most basic troubleshooting step for any Android-related problem. Turn your phone off and then turn it on again. For older Android phones this is as simple as holding down the power button to power off the handset. On newer models, swipe down the notification shade, select the power icon and then either choose Power Off or Restart.
Hopefully after powering your phone back on again things will work as intended.
4. Try a Different Phone
A key part of any troubleshooting process is to isolate where the problem is. So if you have access to another Android phone with Android Auto on it, try using it with your car. If it also exhibits the same problem, that will help rule out your phone as the problem.
If it isn’t the phone, that means you can focus your attention on the car’s systems. If it works using a different Android phone, that suggests that the issue is actually with some aspect of the handset. We shouldn’t forget that the connection itself is a component of Android Auto as well, which brings us to the next fix.
5. Use a USB Connection Whenever Possible
Android Auto now comes in a wireless variant, which is very convenient, as you can imagine. However, any wireless connection is inherently less reliable than a wired one. If you’re getting flakey performance over the wireless Android Auto mode, switch over to a cable connection instead.
6. Use a Better Cable
We’ve tried several different cables with Android Auto and they are not all the same. Some low quality USB cables can cause disconnections. If possible, try to use a higher-quality cable or simply a different one. This may clear up all sorts of reliability issues.
Also pay attention to whether the cable sits snugly and securely at the point it is attached to the phone. If the phone is positioned in such a way that it puts stress on that connection, you may also experience disconnects as the car drives over bumps in the road.
7. Reboot or Reset Your Infotainment System
Depending on how your car’s infotainment system works, it may not perform a clean bootup every time you get in and turn the key. So it’s worth looking in your manual whether there’s an explicit way to reboot the system.
8. Clear Android Auto’s Cache
Many Android apps have a cache that contains temporary files required for things like authentication or custom settings. If the cache becomes corrupted or otherwise malfunctions, it can cause apps to crash or not work reliably. It’s easy to reset the cache for an app like Android Auto. Please bear in mind that the exact steps can differ from one brand of Android phone to another:
- Open Settings.
- Open the Apps menu.
- Look for Android Auto and select it.
- Select Storage.
- Select Clear Cache.
You may also want to close the app and then open it again for the changes to take full effect.
9. Update Everything
If Android Auto used to work just fine, but then began failing, you’ve got some updating to do.
First, check if your phone itself has pending updates. Open the Settings menu, and look for a Software Update menu. The exact location of this may differ from one brand of phone to the next. If there are any pending updates, install them.
Next, you need to check that Android Auto itself is updated. Open the Google Play Store and search for Android Auto. If there are updates available, there will be an update button.
Lastly, do the same for the apps that you use with Android Auto. For example, if you use Google Maps to navigate, make sure your Google Maps app is up to date.
10. Update Your Car
While this may be a novel idea for many people, you can also update the firmware of your car’s infotainment. As bugs are discovered or new features in Android Auto are added, car makers will release new software for their vehicles.
The exact process you need to follow will be in your manual, but in general you’ll likely download an updated firmware file and then copy it to a USB drive. Then you’ll plug that drive into the same port you’d use for Android Auto and initiate the update from within the menus.
11. Uninstall and Reinstall Android Auto
Sometimes it can happen that an app becomes corrupted, in which case removing it and then installing it again may be the solution. Here’s what to do:
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Search for Android Auto and open its store page.
- Select the Uninstall button and wait for the app to finish uninstalling.
- Now, select the Update button and wait for the app to download and install.
If it was indeed an app corruption issue, you should now have no issue running Android Auto.
If All Else Fails, Try Android Auto for Phone Screens
If it turns out that your car’s infotainment system just won’t work with Android Auto, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on it entirely. There’s a version of the app named Android Auto for phone screens which you can use with your phone mounted on your dashboard. It’s not as elegant as proper integration with your car’s systems, but it will still get the job done just the same.
