Unfortunately, Android Auto can still encounter specific problems on some Xiaomi devices, such as Error 16, which prevents proper connection between your smartphone and Google’s car system.
However, most of these issues are fixable. In many cases, the inability to use Android Auto on Xiaomi is caused by MIUI’s dual apps feature.
Based on guidance from the Mi Community, here’s how to resolve two common Android Auto errors when connecting your Xiaomi device to a car.
Fixing Android Auto Errors on Xiaomi Devices
1. Google Play Services Error
One of the main errors is a “Google Play Services not working” message, which prevents Android Auto from functioning. To fix it:
-
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
-
Tap the three-dot menu at the top and select Show all apps
-
Find Google Play Services
-
Tap Clear Data and then Clear Cache
This resolves issues caused by Google Play Services and restores Android Auto functionality.
2. Connection Error 16
Another common issue is Error 16, which shows the message:
"It seems there is a problem. If safe, disconnect and reconnect your phone."
This error is usually caused by MIUI Dual Apps, which conflict with Android Auto. To fix it:
-
Go to Settings > Applications > Dual Applications
-
Tap the gear icon for options
-
Select Remove Dual Accounts
-
Restart your Xiaomi device
⚠️ Note: This will remove your dual apps accounts, but it allows Android Auto to connect successfully.
By following these steps, you can resolve common Android Auto issues on Xiaomi phones, including Google Play Services errors and Connection Error 16, ensuring smooth integration with your car system.
