Update: SOLVED The new lead fixed it - all working now. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08HWKVHMK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Seems poor that the Skoda adaptor that came with the car didn't work with a USB-C Android phone (it did with the iPhone). I would guess that its only wired for charging. D

Hi thanks for the ideas. The Xperia connects OK to my PC for file backup, viewing photos etc etc . I get a notification on the phone where I have to enable file transfer. USB appears in the Device connection area, and I have to enable File transfer every time. With the Karoq the USB option does not appear, and there is only Bluetooth in this area. I have tried enabling developer mode, and searched "USB" in the Settings - and then enabled everything I can enable (most grayed out), but no joy. New cable should be here today - I am using the Skoda supplied adaptor cable at the moment, as that is the only USB-C to USB-C that I have. The wife's iPhone just connected and worked from the off, no apps to download or anything. Good job I kept the old vent clip phone holder... D

thanks for the quick answer. Are you running Android Auto over Bluetooth, or not using it? It's mentioned when I press the i button, along with mirror cast (which doesn't work either). I only wanted it so I can run Waze on the infotainment screen as my navigator. When I plug the phone in it charges, but neither end notifies a new connection. Anyway, I've ordered a new, hopefully good quality, cable, and will update when I've tried it.

Hi has anyone managed to do this? Just got new car, and have tried to connect my XPERIA XA2 (Android 9, android auto app installed OK) using the supplied Skoda cable ( USB C - USB-C). The phone connects OK over Bluetooth, and works for calls etc, but no luck so far getting Android Auto to work. Android Auto doesn't appear as an option in the setting screen (only the Apple app appears). Do I need to enable it somehow on the car? or could it be a cable issue? Thanks for any advice. D
