Got a new Subaru Impreza sport 2017 with Android auto built in the other day.
Phone is a Nexus 5x, plug in using Belkin USB C to USB A connection.
The first three times I used it Android auto installed and worked fine then Android auto stopped working. Reset the head unit and uninstalled from my 5x.
Now when I try to install Android auto after plugging in the USB cable, when the welcome screen pops up Android auto disappears but is still running in the background as can be seen here http://imgur.com/a/shBgE. When I try to open the background Android auto app disappears again but is still running in the background as before.
I have tried my nexus 6 and works fine, what problem can I be having with my 5x and what is a possible solution?
Hi there,
I recently bought a Hyundai Kona and I am trying
to connect a Wileyfox Swift 2 phone using android auto . Nothing happens . I downloaded the AA app and
set it up on my phone but when I plug it in to the car, the AA logo on the cars head unit doesn’t turn on. I tried an iPhone and it connected immediately.
Can anyone advise ? Please ?

Did you connect using original USB cable ?
Usually poor quality cables are cause problems with connectivity.

I would like to discuss this topic also. My wife has Kona 2018-2019 and I'm interesting in how to change or update this head unit software or install something like navigation in it thru android system or android phone?
Thanks for any help.
A little review of system : This KONA has android based software and all I can see in settings is version of software : os.eur.sop.v085.180528.dau_a and firmware is : os.eur.267.180113.micom.dl
Just wondering if Android Auto for connected car displays stopped working for anyone as of yesterday or today. I'm skeptical of another Google "back end experiment" that caused it to stop working. I have a Ford with Sync 3
Symptom: Plug phone into car, nothing happens. Phone only charges and will even say USB is connected.
I've done some basic and partially in depth trouble shooting. It most likely couldn't be caused by any updates on Car infotainment system or my Phone because it has been working (unless there was a back end play services update that was pushed out).
From the obvious to less obvious:
-Tried rebooting phone and restarted car
-Tried using a different USB A to C cable (Anker ones have worked perfectly for me)
-Tried using secondary USB port in car
-Tested phones ability to connect to a PC and transfer data, no issue
-Threw music onto a USB flash drive and plugged it into car, no issue
-Tried turning on USB debugging on phone, no change (not sure if this would have even helped in first place).
I'm at a loss right now. It does not make any sense.
I do not have another android phone to try or an iPhone to test CarPlay unfortunately.
Literally had the same thing happen to me on Sync 3 last week. I just deleted the car from the Android Auto app and deleted the phone from Sync 3. After that I was able to use Android Auto again after going through the setup prompts. No issues since.
Works fine for me on my 2018 silverado
no issues on 2017 Sierra
Here it works perfectly

happens to me every 3-6 months.
Swapping out the cable resolved it every time.
ya dude you need to try some different cables. that should always be your first step if there have been no updates.
Thanks for the replies. I deleted and unpaired AA from my phone and my car with no luck.
I actually had my coworker who has a Pixel 2 XL plug his phone in to my car. He had no issues at all even after multiple tries. Mine still wont connect. We're both on Pie with same security patch level. Did try tried Multiple new cables and still no luck (the anker high quality ones).
I found this thread incase it starts happening to anyone...
https://productforums.google.com/fo.../PWBrDUXzR4o;context-place=forum/android-auto
Something I picked off of that topic was some USB patches/features that went in to effect between Pie release and last month security patch.
I may just wait a month. Maybe another security patch which tweaks USB or 9.1 will drop fixing my issue. We shall see. At least I know its not my car or my cables.
Go into apps and check your "play services" versions between the two phones. Google controls a lot of **** through that app
Or just try to clear your usb port
Thanks for the replies. After the October patch I'm back up and running.
Lack of communication between departments at Google baffles my mind.
My pixel 3 xl will connect to Android auto via USB.... Work for a few minutes then randomly disconnect. Never happened with my pixel 2.
Any suggestions??...I have tried new USB cable.... Still does same thing.

I have had occassional issues with Android Auto as well -
When I first got the Pixel XL I was able to connect fine via USB and even wirelessly to my Kenwood headunit - but the other day, after connecting to Android Auto, when I tried to make a phone call, Blue Tooth was not connected and I could not get it to connect. I eventualy toggled on and off Airplane Mode - and after that
it connected fine. Havn't had an issue since (knock on wood)
for your situation, have you made sure that USB Debugging i turned off? It won't work with that turned on....
Same problem here.
Never had an issue with my Pixel XL, Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL. Yesterday I received my new Pixel 3 XL and Android Auto keeps disconnecting. Sometimes it does last a few minutes, sometimes it does so after a few seconds. It doesn't matter if an app like Spotify or Maps is being started or if I just connect the cable. Android Auto doesn't stop on the phone but only disconnects.
As you can't deinstall Android Auto I already tried wiping cache, wiping data and deactivate. I even tried three different cables.
When I connect my work phone Pixel 2 I don't see this problem. The connection is kept as usual.
I'm getting grey hair over this.
Has anyone found a solution or workaround for this issue?
I've tried absolutely everything, even rolled back to a nano SIM after started with an eSIM.
Gonna RMA this week and cross my fingers.
I wonder if it's a hardware issue or software. Unfortunately I don't have another phone that runs pie so I can't test it. My v30 running nougat works fine. I'm kinda waiting for the next pixel update to see if it fixes it.
If you do rma your phone let us know if that fixes the issue.
Turn off adaptive battery and see if that helps you
Nope, that doesn't help. As I mentioned I have every previous Pixel and all of them work flawlessly with my head unit. All preferences are the same.
There's only one obvious difference: Android Auto is pre-installed on the 3 XL.
Unfortunately I don't know anybody with Android Auto in the car nor owning a Pixel 3 XL to check out if it's something with my head unit.
In a German forum 2 people say they have it working properly...
One of the most frustrating parts is that - for me - it sometimes it works 10 minutes. After I switched back to nano SIM yesterday on my drive home I connected, listened to great music, whatsapped my wife that it is working and boom...disconnect and from then on the known behavior started again.
Did the new rma device fix the issue?
Just send it today and because I bought from provider I've a couple of days for the new one. Used my good ol' Pixel XL today working like a charme...
I'll update when the replacement has arrived.
Experiencing same issue with Pixel 3 non-xl and 2016 Honda Accord. Android Auto disconnects anywhere from 20 minutes to just seconds after I've connected.
I've tried the following:
-Variety of brands of USB-C > A cables
-Disabling all power saving options (whole phone, specific apps)
-Setting screen to stay on when charging (solved AA disconnect issues on my LG V20)
-Re-pairing bluetooth with car
-Re-pairing AA with car
-Resetting car head unit
-Resetting phone
I've had no issues with disconnects, but I use wireless connection with Pioneer headunit.
I got my replacement today and for now the problem looks to be solved but I only sat 20 minutes in the garage messing around with it but that are 19:50 more than my last attempt with the old one.
But I already installed both Android Auto app updates that came in the last couple of days.
/me is crossing his fingers
I'll drive about one hour in the evening and hope everything stays how it is now
It's a pixel 3 software issue. Big thread in the Android Auto support forums. Google doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fix it. Said the November update should, it did not.
Anyone ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same issue, but now cannot connect at all. (Was working. Stopped the car, went into Starbucks, came out and AA won't connect.) My Pixel 2 XL works fine, but I want to sell it.
Like I said I RMAd it and it works flawlessly ever since.
Android Auto Closing Out on Pixel 3
Did anyone find a fix for this? I'm having same problem with a new Pixel 3 (not XL). It will project to the car screen/monitor temporarily, but then disconnect and close out of Android Auto. Sometimes it will automatically switch back in a few seconds. Other times I need to disconnect the USB cable from the car and reconnect to get it to project the screen again. It closes out Bluetooth and stops playing from the phone too. This seems to be an issue with the phone, as I've had this problem in multiple cars. My only solution is to run AA on the phone and not project it. Is Google doing anything about this?

My phone connects fine to AA. It stays connected with the cable. Perhaps try a new cable to connect it. I'm on stock rooted.

I was wondering if anyone else was/is experiencing problems with connecting their phone to their car for Android Auto. I just updated my Pixel 2XL to Android 10 yesterday (then rooted it) and when I went to connect it to my car today, Android Auto did not show up at all. It only showed up on my phone. The screen in my car says that there is no device connected. The phone is charging, but nothing else is happening. I have tried many different cables and uninstalled and reinstalled Android Auto and Google Maps. I am hoping someone can help me. Thanks
No problems here, check your cable and phone usb port
It's working for me on Android 10.
So I had a issue with Android Auto on Android 10... My vehicle has the head unit JVC KW-M845BW and I couldn't get the android auto interface to pop up after installing Android 10. In Pie, I could just go into the app and turn on the bluetooth auto start up setting when the car started. Now that the app is not available to open, you have to hope starting the head unit will pull up Android Auto... In my car, I have to set the parking break to get Android auto app to pop up on Android 10 for the first time installation. After that, the app pops up on my head unit every time.
