Got my phone today and installed the android auto app, enabled all the permissions, etc. When I plug it into my truck, the android auto tab shows up at the bottom for a brief moment, then goes away. I didn't have any issues like this with my OG XL(which also had 8.0 on it) or my OP3. I tried doing some troubleshooting by reinstalling the app, removing my phone from know android auto devices and enabling USB debugging. Nothing so far has worked. Anyone else having issues? Car is a '16 F-150. Thanks.
ETA: Well, got it working! Went into the app itself and it's settings. Under connected cars, SYNC was listed as "rejected". I cleared all cars and re-added mine. Now it's working great lol!
Pixel 2 XL connects very slowly with Android auto
Tried to setup Android auto head unit with the Pixel 2 XL after switching from Pixel XL with normal function. The Pixel 2 XL takes way longer than expected to connect with Android auto on the head unit but, it does work. However, I had to reinstalled the Android auto app several times to even get a usable configuration. I called Google support but, they had no answer about the problem as of Oct. 27, 2017.
Android auto 2016 VW Tiguan
I was having troubles getting my VW's system to recognize the phone. I kept getting USB device not supported. That is until I went into my cars android auto
menu and manually selected my Pixel 2 XL. After doing that, Android auto connects automatically when I plug it in.
Seems to connect about as fast as my OG Pixel (7.1.2 & 8.0), and op3t.
no issues setting up or connecting for me.
only issue I have is no ringing on incoming phone calls, I get notification and all, just no sound.
had this issue intermittently on original pixel xl also.
Negative.
Using a Sony XAV-AX100, works for maybe a minute sometimes at first. Then cuts in and out rapidly. Then other times it won't even recognize it.
I'm having issues as well. I have a 2017 GTI and mines connect similar as the pixel XL, the issue is that the Pixel 2 XL disconnect and reconnect often times and that's very annoying. Probably every 5-10 minutes. I have cleared cache and data from the app and reset the phone and still with the issue. It happens with 8.0 and 8.1
BTW I'm using the USB cable came with Nexus 6p. Have been using the same one since.
hmmmm 2 VW owners with this issue. No other vehicle manufacturer's mentioned. Looks like it's related to the emissions cheating if you ask me.
Just kidding. I really hope they get this figured out - I currently don't have android auto in my 2016 - it will be in my car I get next July.
Same Issue

I'm having the same issue. I have a 2015 Kia Optima and Android Auto worked flawlessly with my Nexus 6p. On the Pixel 2 XL, it disconnects every 5-10 minutes. Tried all the same troubleshooting steps with no resolution.

Exact same problem with xav ax100.
No problems with OG XL on 8.0
I think this thread makes it pretty clear this is a pixel 2 XL issue
It works perfectly in my 2017 Honda Accord. I upgraded yesterday to 8.1 and it still works great. And I have the 2 xl. It even allows me to use "hey google" in the car. Love android auto

Me too, with new 2017 Pilot, use maps, use ok google, send texts all without touching phone, love it.
Works like a champ on my Chevy where I used to have some issues with the onePlus 3t
First day it kept closing every 10 mins. Now it works perfectly. Not sure what changed. 2017 Ford fusion
Earlier this year I had trouble with AA stopping/disconnecting. I had a Pixel XL and a new crv. I read in a crv forum that Google Maps beta caused problems for some. I was on the beta. I deleted the app and got off the beta channel, then reinstalled everything. It worked well after that. That was 6 months ago, not sure if it applies any more but if you are on the beta channel & having issues I'd try changing. My son has a new GTI and also had trouble with AA. He was on Maps beta also and going stable helped him. You need to delete the app and its data then reinstall.
im having issues with it working then 2 -3 mins later i get error 12 and AA crashes :/ anyone else getting this

Fwiw. My fix was manually selecting my 2XL in my 2016 VW Tiguan's AA car's menu, after I did that it connects automatically every time I plug it in.
I 'Forgot' my Sony XAV-AX100 and reconnected and went on a 35 minute drive with no issues (see my previous post about my issues).
Time will tell.

I have the same Sony but I have no sound when navigating using Google Maps, It's the same for my OnePlus 3T as well ifI use the XAV-AX100. You can tell the navigation is running because it pauses the podcasts. Waze is working though.

Since they added Waze I totally gave up on Google maps...Especially because you cant get satellite on google maps.

Since the last few AA updates have made Unlocking the phone easier for passengers, and drivers, I have noticed that my phone is damned near unusable in this state.This lagfest lasts for ~30-60 seconds after disconnecting the phone cable as well. Everything is fine in terms of Nav or Google Play Music streaming on the head unit, but trying to swipe notifications or scroll through Facebook/Twitter/Instagram is a hard no go. Anyone else experiencing this?
I have a stock, unrooted Pixel 2 XL running Android 8.1 and the March patch level. Android Auto v3.1 connected to a 2018 Acura TLX with the Technology Package.
Lag un phone with android auto
Same problem here. I have also a 2xl. I don't know if the problems is just with phone or any other android device

haven't encountered any such issues with my Pixel 2 XL on AA.. I am on March update
Ever since I believe around the 3rd Android 9 beta update, pandora kept crashing on my Android Auto. I was hoping the full "street" version of 9 released yesterday would resolve this but it didnt. I also noticed the screen on my car blacking out at times and then coming back on during android auto. The problem is I can go a song or two on pandora and then it stops and says pandora inaccessible on the screen and then a new song starts playing. Sometimes, it will cut off 3 songs in a row within the first minute of each song. Its really frustrating and I cant tell if its a pandora thing or android auto thing. Used to think it was a beta thing but thats clearly not it anymore.
I do keep my phone in my cupholder area and was wondering if when the proximity or light sensor gets changed in there, would that affect anything? It didnt before, Im just wondering if theres any new settings that could be making that change.
My original pixel xl did that on the betas but I replaced that phone with a pixel 2 xl over the weekend and I haven't noticed it happening with the new phone.

I even tried turning off battery management in the app and lowering the audio quality like I read in a couple other places but neither worked. Its still crapping out and then starting a new song.
Just saw an update from AA so hopefully that works. Ill report back.
Has anyone else experienced this with Pandora? When listening to Pandora on the Pixel 2 XL running Android 9, after the screen times out and turns off, the music stops, and closes out the Pandora app. Even if connected to Bluetooth it does this. Rebooting didn't fix this issue, and reinstalling the app after clearing the cache on it didn't fix it either. This issue just began after allowing the update from Android 8. On another forum I was informed this is an app issue, and so I contacted the developer yesterday via email, and am awaiting a response.
I will add that the same Pandora app on my other phone LG V20 running Android 8 doesn't not experience this issue.
Try with WiFi off to see if the problem still persist

Sinds a few day/a week my Samsung S20 with all latest updates installed is rebooting when connecting to my car with Android Auto. The S10 of my wife is still working fine.
Today tested with another Samsung S20 and this one has the same issue.
Also tried clearing cache and rebooting in safe mode but nothing seems to fix the problem.
Anyone can help?

I'm facing the same issue with my S20 - only started happening in the last week. I have tested with two other phones and the headunit works perfectly. Also tested with another S20 and the phone just reboots
As a work around, I've installed headunit reloader until an update is released for it
Seems u have indeed exactly the same problem.
What does your workaround do? i'm little confused here

Sorry I bought the headunit reloaded app( it does an android auto emulator on your headunit)... but a friend sent me the fix this morning. It looks like its caused by the latest update to google chrome, if you uninstall the latest update it should fix your issue. I just tested and it worked for me ( There is a thread on another site about it )
Cool! This was the workaround for me 2 Now it's working again.
I am having the exact same problem. Right after the latest Verizon update. Plug it in to the Car and automatically reboots. After the major Android update, wireless AA stopped working. And now, Android Auto will not even load when plugged in. Charges fine outside the car. Looks like it's time to dump this super expensive POS phone. Too many issues are piling up
