Android Auto no longer connecting to my car after recent update

[TheDenny]

Hi

I hope all are well.

Since recent update my Android Auto no longer works on my car. I have cleared cache from mobile and deleted Bluetooth from car.

Anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?

Thank you in advance

I'm getting this today - updated laast night - but not found an issue yet I'm afraid. It's one of many many problems with my phone!

Hi

I have found the solution

You need to cancel the car 🚗 from Android Auto first, then delete car Bluetooth from mobile. Then also delete from your car.

Then start again, a fresh connection from mobile to car

Let me know if you need any help

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. It inititally connects but then says phone isn't responding. Glad you've resolved your issue though

Mine also says the same.

Try clearing your cache on your mobile the formal way then try again

I've cleared the cache for another issue (phone keeps switching off) and didn't resolve it. I'm now having to do a factory reset to see if that resolves my switching off issue before Samsung will look to repair. 

Thanks though!!

Today after trying over and over and over to get android auto to connect to my wireless dongle or via USB cable.. I finally got it to connect.. I upgraded to s24 ultra from fold 4 and the screen would just show loading and stayed there on loading when trying to connect with my wireless adapter.. when trying with usb cable it wouldn't even recognize the phone was attached.. let's just say what worked vs everything I tried.. I pulled out as many usb a to c cables in my possession as I could find and finally got one that connected.. it literally initialized android auto SET UP on my car screen.. so I went through the screen set up process.. via usb.. finished the process.. ran waze.. ran google maps.. ran a couple of apps in general and then.. I .. gulp.. unplugged the usb cable from the car..

I then plugged in my usb dongle .. the loading screen came on... and android auto opened like normal.. it's now a week later and the wireless is running like it's supposed to.. 7-10 seconds or so on starting the car..

It seems it absolutely needs the right cable connection FIRST to get android initialized and set up BEFORE it will accept wireless off any kind.. and yeah.. about 10 cables or more I tried.. SMH.. my advice is to try as many cables as you can till it connects .. even usb c to a adapters on your c to c cables.. and fully perform the set up if your connection works with cable.. good luck
