Spotify over Bluetooth not working with S22 in the car

Hi,
I have 2015 Skoda Superb and love the Spotify integration with car infotainment to play music from the steering wheel for mobile devices. I got a new S22 in beginning of December and the phone simply refuses to activate music streaming in the car.  Normal phone operation works flawlessly but music streaming is not available. I have re-paired the phone a couple of times and made sure that the phone is not paired to other audio output devices but no  help.  I also re-installed Spotify and made sure that it's allowed to see external devices

Going down in settings to Connections -> Bluetooth -> <device cog-wheel> -> Audio and trying to enable Audio immediately flips the tick-box back to disabled.

I contacted Samsung support and asked about the problem, for instance if there is a minimum BT version I need to have on the BT client for the S22 to work but I only got a cryptic " unfortunately we cannot provide any answer to this question" kind of answer.

I have used at least 4 different android phones, 3 different iPhones and 2 ipads in the car previously without any problem whatsoever. 

Anyone experienced anything similar ?

Hi,

I have to reset (switch off and back on again) my bluetooth on the phone side while the car is running to get the audio connection enabled.  I suspected that it is because of my Galaxy watch but it could be remaining bug also.

It seems like it works when there are no previous disconnected audio devices "hanging" on the phone side and restarting the bluetooth connection makes for "clean" start

The Skoda console details I don't know, sorry.
