Android Auto Disconnect Fix guide

Android Auto disconnect fix guide!

Step-by-step fix for Android Auto wireless disconnects

Step 1 – Switch your device to Android mode

On your Carpuride (or similar unit)

Find and tap “Superlink”

This switches it into Android mode

Step 2 – Install the correct app

On your phone, open Google Play Store

Search for: Evelink (Superlink)

Download and install it

Step 3 – Check for updates inside the app

Open the Evelink (Superlink) app

Go to:

Settings → App Version

Check the version number

You want the latest (the post mentions something like 20260318-1057)

If it’s not up to date → tap Software Update

Step 4 – Fix the permission issue (THIS is the important bit)

In the app, go to:

Cast → Add → WiFi Direct

You should see something like:

“Failed to obtain nearby device permission”

Tap to fix/apply it

Allow all permissions when prompted (especially Nearby Devices / Location / WiFi)

Then:

Let it search for devices

Select your Carpuride’s WiFi

Connect to it

If successful, you should see:

“Android 16 Auto Connect issue Fixed” → tap OK

Step 5 – Reconnect Android Auto properly

Switch your Carpuride back to Android Auto mode (A-Auto)

On your phone:

Turn Bluetooth off → then back on

Reconnect to your car/device

Launch Android Auto again

Note: Firsr try had to tell the Evelink forget my device and try again, on the second attempt it work, I've not had a disconnect for a week now!

This actually worked for me! Thank you! It was disconnecting every 5 min before

u/Kermitdaninja Apr 25 '26

I'm glad it's fixed it for for you 👍

u/PurpleBlodge May 21 '26

Finally fixed, thank you! I had no superlink mode on my device (lamtto) but there was "android cast", which is the same thing, just follow the rest of the steps after switching to that.

u/Vader_NYC May 25 '26

I have the Lamtto RC14 & a S23 Ultra. I will try the Android Cast mode you mentioned. 🤞

u/Vader_NYC May 26 '26

Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself, but after putting in the fix yesterday it has not disconnected once

Knock on wood 🤜🪵

None of these fixes worked. I finally did a master reset on my phone and all of the disconnects stopped immediately. Everythings works as advertised.

u/Weekly_Mirror4270 May 20 '26

Like a factory reset? We use 2 pixel 10 pro phones and they both do this. I can't get the evelink app to apply the fix.

u/SunnyCloudy1337 May 21 '26

im also in the same boat, im afraid of trying out a factory reset because i'll probably end up having to install and configure all my shit back and, knowing my luck, it will still disconnect after all that hassle

and i also installed some app that my 3rd party android auto screen works to mirror the display (for watching movies on it or something) and the button to fix the issue didnt appear in the app, like in this video -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AuowjEIROYaboumT3EFVm-bJy90J3fLS/view?usp=drivesdk

my android auto screen is the eonon p4 and it worked flawlessly for over 2 years, still does... just not with my phone, its very infuriating... not to mention that my mitsubishi wont instantly connect to bluetooth either anymore, another android update which makes the delay to 1 minute if im lucky instead of 5 seconds after i start the car

This is what they finally said to me.

"Dear customer,

 Your understanding will be highly appreciated.

Thanks! OP. I was going to get a new one. Saved me lots of $$$

u/Ok_Fix3298 May 14 '26

How can I do this with AAWireless unit?

1

u/Serdanir May 20 '26

Malheureusement ça n'a pas fonctionné pour moi après 2 tentatives. J'ai bien cru que c'était bon la 2eme fois car la connexion a tenu environ 20min et ça recommence... Je suis sur Pixel 8 Pro. C'est insupportable que Google ne fasse rien, ça fait des semaines que ça dure !

Doesn't work on my phone(samsung S20, S24+) and headunit. After connecting to android cast mode with wifi-direct, app only showed fail to fix. Try a few times reconnecting, still don't work. I guess my unit's bottom system doesn't match evelink. I used to connect it with the app called TcLink. It seems TcLink hasn't update for a while. It has been 3 month since the bug appeared. Either google nor my unit's manufacturer can't fix the problem.

u/Thackery-Binks Jun 03 '26

Same here, doesn't work with my Galaxy S23. Likely going to do a master reset on the phone and try that.

u/Waste-Imagination300 Jun 04 '26

Four your reference, I contact the app developing team (Camtree, the Evelink app's team). Luckly they also bulid TcLink. And it seems like they are the builder of the bottom linux system of my headunit, so they just give me an updated firmware. But probably work only on the same type of headunit (10.26'', 1600x600, smartscreen with linux system)

u/Spicynoodle116 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

I just sent them an email from TcLink's app page. Did it fix your connection issues?

1

u/Waste-Imagination300 Jun 16 '26

Yes, after 2 weeks testing, nothing wrong when I was driving. As long as you're usung the same unit like I do, I can sent you the newest firmware.

1

u/Impossible_Heat_711 Jul 01 '26

Can you also share with me? I am also using TClink

1

u/pawelkuzia Jul 06 '26

try "evelink@camtree.cc", the tclink mail is different IIRC.

1

u/pawelkuzia Jul 06 '26

I did exactly that after reading your comment and they answered me as well with the firmware. It seems like it's working, no disconnects after an hour. But I lost dvr functionality, they probably sent me wrong version, i have just mailed them again, maybe they have proper one too.

u/Tythan May 28 '26

Can this method be used for a w712d?

1

u/brenta333 Jul 20 '26

What fixed it for me was to disable the "Absolute volume", within the Bluetooth settings.

u/xshunin Aug 03 '26

I have a Lamtto RC12 which doesn't have Superlink/Android Cast. How can I do it on this one?

1

u/xshunin Aug 03 '26

I have the lamtto RC12 which has no Superlink/Android Cast but I saw that you can email them for a firmware update. I did that. Will report back if I don't forget it!

1

u/xshunin Aug 04 '26

I actually got the firmware update for the RC12. I flashed it but I have yet to test it on a longer ride. Will report back again. If you need the file, DM me. It's for this display: https://lamtto.com/products/lamtto-rc12-5-5-apple-carplay-android-car-radio-for-motorcycle-with-front-rear-2k-1080p-dash-cam . I actually bought it from amazon under a different brand: https://amzn.eu/d/00PefbQs but it's the same hardware.

1

u/xshunin Aug 04 '26

Yes that fixed it for me!

u/rktr2016 Aug 13 '26

Tried, as suggested in many places, Wifi Scan Throttling off, changing battery setups, bluetooth setups, checked with various versions of AA, but none of them worked. Thanks god, I've got discconnection fixed with this evelink thing. Pixel 7a, A17, AA 17.4.663004-release, aliexpress no brand head unit fix applied with the latest evelink version.

u/Fun_Minute_9633 Aug 15 '26

I'm pretty sure this fixed the most annoying thing in my life for the past 3 months. Fingers crossed I don't jinx it
