Hi all, 

 

Here's a new one on me, hopefully someone could shed some light on the situations:

 

I have a 65 plate fabia and my head unit/infotainment has generally been absolutely fine. I've been connecting my Samsung s8 absolutely fine for over 1 year now, not a single problem  - until this week. 

 

I connected up my phone and instead of saying "Samsung android will be connected via android auto" it says "Samsung android will be connected via mirrorlink". It does, but that's not what I want at all. 

 

I don't know why it's changed, I haven't changed anything. The settings still say preferred option of connection is android auto but yet still goes to mirrorlink, which I have never used. 

 

Tried different usb original cables, uninstalled and reinstalled android auto on my phone too. Nothing. 

 

Adding to this another random querk as of this week is that if I am listening to the radio and my s/s clicks in at traffic lights for example, when I press the clutch to move and the s/s goes off and turns the engine over- the radio station changes! So random. 

 

Anyone any ideas what could be going on? Factory reset the best option?

That sounds very odd- especially the changing of the radio stations! I'd get it in to the dealer if it's still on warranty. 

 

Re the Android Auto- I never had that issue when I had an S7, but now I have a OnePlus phone it's a different matter as the phone doesn't work with MirrorLink.

Try charging the car battery.

Not enough voltage on start up, to power the Bolero/Infotainment system?

Sound like on older cars where the digital clock resets itself on starting when the battery is poor/low.
