Had a full on update (OCU?) from Skoda last night, and phone is still connected (at the moment). It's been released this week, so who knows if this issue has permanently addressed in this update... Try pulling it down and fingers crossed all 👍🏻

I'm creased laughing that the profanity checker has removed the middle of your word "smarT WATch" 🤣 I think Samsung are 2nd to Google getting the latest Android updates, so I think there's an incompatibility between the latest Android on the mobile, and the cars firmware/Android Auto. Really annoying for you. Recent update to phone and car seems to have fixed 🤞🏻 things, both in the last 2 weeks. Behaved since!

@peterposh I notice you're in Newport, so assume that's Capitol Skoda? I take mine there for servicing, and while nice people, have failed to resolve my remote lock/unlock functionality numerous times. Also offered to replace 2 x front tyres in the last service for £550! Politely declined their kind offer......and replaced them with Uniroyal RainSport for £320. It's a shocker that this mobile functionality evidently doesn't work from new, and then they charge you to diagnose/fix (if they can)

I have contacted the main dealer 5 times to try & get my remote lock/unlock sorted, and they tell me it's done...... ahem, it still isn't! So that's why I would leave the eSIM enabled too. What I recommended earlier in the thread has work for me (so far/currently!) - don't speak too soon though....... Has anyone driven to their main dealer & asked them to look at it/set it up? Or do they say it's a problem with the phone as I would imagine???? This issue seems to be across a number of different mobile phone brands, but the common theme is Skoda..... anyone having same issue with Apple Carplay? I think it's either an Android issue, or a car firmware issue/incompatibility.....

I can't find enough 🤨 🙄 🤬 emojis to show how much I feel your pain guys!!! I'm sure it's a case of Android Auto in the car isn't updated as frequently as on the mobiles, and there's some inherent incompatibility, so they stop talking to each other. If there's anyone connected to Skoda on this forum, please help......

Hi all, I can only suggest that you pull all updates down for the car, update all apps on your phone (some underlying system/Android stuff plus Android Auto updated on mine last time). Delete the phone from the car, delete the car from the phone. Then.... Make the phone visible in Bluetooth, then plug it into the car with a USB cable. Add the phone to the car (not the car to the phone), tick any boxes about syncing contacts etc, as Hands Free Phone. The phone should connect to the car.... Then unplug the cable. After a couple of minutes, Android Auto found the phone via Bluetooth, and touch wood it's behaved since.... Good luck all, it's a right pain!

I hope so AndreyKar, as I'm sure many other frustrated owners do 😁

Well dare I say it, but following a recent update to the car, it's behaving itself again? Plugging the phone into a USB cable, then searching for the phone from the car seemed to find the phone, pair on both devices, and then it was ok. Unplugged the cable and it connected via Bluetooth, and is behaving. Make sure to try it, following any updates. Thanks for the suggestions 👍🏻

Yep, I am in the same boat - Skoda Superb 2021 on latest updates & firmware (might be the problem with a glitchy update!?) - Google Pixel 6 Pro (Android 13) worked flawlessly until about 2 weeks ago, and since then my phone shows as being connected to the car via bluetooth, the Android Auto button is replaced with "MirrorLink", and I don't have any options to connect the phone..... All I can do is as everyone else has done - go into Settings, delete the phone from the car. Delete the car connection from the phone, then re-pair it. Seems to work for a few days...... then repeat this process (not while driving obviously...ahem!) Absolutely love everything about the car, cannot fault it, apart from this Android Auto issue!
