Solve Android Auto communication error 16 with Xiaomi

The landscape of Android smartphones is vast and to this is added the equally varied panorama of infotainment of modern cars which complicates the compatibility of Android Auto with our Xiaomis. But if your problem is the 16 communication error know that you may have run into incompatibility with the function of app cloned.

MIUI incompatibility with Android Auto

Nine times out of ten the problem of Xiaomi communication with Android Auto is due to the function app cloned. This function is not directly supported by Google and in order to work, it is necessary that MIUI creates a second virtual space by cloning all Google services (Google Play Services and the Framework).

This workaround, at present, creates communication problems with cars generating the fateful 16 error on Android Auto.

Disable the Cloned Apps correctly

Since the problem does not come from the duplication of individual apps but from google services, it is necessary to completely remove all the data of the function.

To do a proper cleaning it is therefore necessary:

  • Go to Settings-> Cloned apps
  • Click on the gear at the top right
  • Select "Delete cloned app accounts"
  • Click on "Remove and restart" on the popup that appears
  • Wait for the restart

If you go back to the cases described above you should be able to use Android Auto right away. Remember to select the "file transfer" mode from the notification that will appear when you insert the cable.

Let me know in the comments if you have solved.

The "Second Space" function does not have this problem and is therefore a possible alternative for those who need double accounts

Configurações / app / gerenciar app / exibir arquivos do sistema: google services, zerar dados; repetir or proceed with Android Auto. Por fim jamais usar app clonados, se criou tem que excluir conta de app clonados, se mesmo assim ocorrer o erro 16, crie uma conta dual apps qualquer e depois que aparecer a opção excluí todas as contas dual apps exclua. Seja feliz

Posiadasz, tylko jej nie widać to ty nie umiesz znaleźć. Android Auto jest od pewnego czasu aplikacją systemową, ale bez ikony na pulpicie. Powinna się uruchomić po podłączeniu kablem USB z samochodowym systemem który obsługuje Android auto. Samą aplikacje znajdziesz w Ustawienia, Aplikacje, Zarządzanie aplikacjami, jak klikniesz w trzy kropki na górze po prawej i ustawisz pokazywanie aplikacji systemowych (domyślnie są ukryte). Można też zrobić sobie skróty do niektórych funkcjonalności Android auto za pomocą aplikacji ze sklepu Launcher aktywności.

Bonsoir. Avec mon Xiaomi redmi note 8T, pour Ford sync, à chaque fois que j'appuie sur “transfert de fichiers”, the connexion semble vouloir se mettre en route mais s'arrête aussitôt. J'ai vérifié pas d'applications clônées. Est-ce que quelqu'un a trouvé l'astuce? The ya aussi “erreur 316”. Merci de votre aide.

Mi 9t updated to MIUI 12 I had apps cloned and android auto worked only by removing them. I tried as suggested with the second space but it doesn't work, always error 16. The only thing for me to be able to use android auto is to disable both cloned apps and second space. Waze although working correctly on the phone does not work via android auto, it crashes

Unfortunately, having reported the problem to Xiaomi several times via feedback seems to be completely useless. When the Chinese want to do the "Indians" very well

Danke, der Kommunikationsfehler ist weg, aber Android Auto funktioniert im FORD KUGA trotzdem nicht richtig. Ich erhalte zwar die Karte von Google Maps für die Navigation, aber keinen Ton. Gleiches gilt für das Telefonieren - kann kei Gespräch annehmen. The Google Assistant kann “nicht helfen!”.
