Works fine with the new Huawei Honor 8x. Not sure about other Huawei/Honor Models, have avoided them in the past due to this issue, so it might just be the very latest ones like the 8x that have been updated.

 

Will let you know about the P20 Pro in January when I get my Kona

 

I am using a Honor View 10 with AA on Zoe just fine. Very fast vs. my old LG G5. Is AA compatibility car dependant - annoying if so.

 

my Huawei mate 10 pro will not work in my partners seat arona with AA but her samsung s8 works perfectly. on investigation it seems that a wide range of huawei handsets are not working with AA on a variety of cars. Apparently a fix has been promised for well over a year now. I did not want to get the new huawei mate 20 pro if it has the same problem

 

Just ordered a mate 20 pro for delivery next Friday (launch day). So got fingers and toes crossed that it’s not going to be a pita with the Kona. Will update when it arrives

(Ordered it from Amazon so at least if it does not work I have 30 days to send it back)

 

Thanks stageshoot. That's the phone I was going to buy. Not sure if I'll like the size of it as it's 2cm taller than my mate 10 pro and wider. Also I see that the face Id is easily fooled. I'm sure all the isheep will jump on that one.
Keep us informed. Much much appreciated

That's strange my mate 10 pro works on two android auto head units i have. Both after market head units though, not built in ones.

 

high stageshoot
still cant work out how to pm someone, i must be thick.
anyway how is the huawei mate 20 pro behaving with the kona and android auto

thanks
Dave

 

I ended up going back to an Apple iPhone 8 Plus as the app I use for work would not play nicely with the camera setup in the Mate Pro

So can’t comment on it I am afraid

 

Has anyone had any luck getting their Mate 20 X working? Mine disconnects immediately and the car display says 'disconnected, check phone'. The same phone works perfectly with a Mazda Android auto head unit.

My Huawei P10 works perfectly with Android Auto, Waze, Google Play Music etc.

 

It turns out it was the cable. For some reason the cable that comes with the phone does not work with the Kona. I tried a cheap poundland USB C cable and it works fine.

 

USB cables are not all equal. They can be set up for charging, data, and fast charging, that I know of.
The cable supplied with a phone (or charger) may be a non-data cable.

 

Most usb ports outputting power have an overload prevention resettable "polyfuse". It could be that the p20 demands too much current and overloads the port which shuts down after a few seconds. The cheap cable may limit the current, perhaps by accident?
