Xiaomi smartphone owners who rely on Android Auto for seamless in-car connectivity are facing a frustrating situation. Many users are reporting that despite having updated phones, the latest Android Auto app, and even up-to-date car software, their devices struggle to connect properly. While the phone itself seems to run Android Auto without issue, the car’s touchscreen remains unresponsive or extremely slow to respond once connected using a USB cable.
This issue first surfaced with devices running MIUI 14 but concerningly persists even after updating to the latest HyperOS version (1,2,3,4,5). This suggests the problem may run deeper than a simple software update can address.
Luckily, Android Auto support teams are actively investigating the issue, but Xiaomi users are understandably getting impatient considering the duration the issue has been around. Community specialists have been gathering detailed reports from those affected since last year, yet a solution remains elusive. Still, if you are experiencing any connection issues with Android Auto on your Xiaomi device before and after HyperOS update, here’s what support says:
- Brief description of the issue:
- Type of connection (wire or wireless):
- Android Auto version:
- Google Play services version: (Settings > Apps (or Apps & notifications > App info) > Google Play services)

While a fix is hopefully in the works, affected Xiaomi owners should brace themselves for a potentially lengthy wait. This ongoing issue highlights the potential for frustrating glitches when relying on the interplay between smartphones, car systems, and third-party apps like Android Auto.
