I've had am Android update recently so am now running Version 12 SKQ1.211006.001

 

Coincidence perhaps but now find only way to load Spotify is, once USB cable connected from phone to car and Android Auto running (Maps live) THEN start Spotify on phone and when song starts playing, Spotify starts in car BUT only runs for that one song then freezes entirely

 

All other Android Auto apps work fine so this is a Spotify problem and back in the day when all was good, Spotify required NOT to be running elsewhere for A-Auto to take full control

 

Neighbour with same phone and Skoda Octavia so same system has exactly same problem - anyone else in this club who might have found the solution?

Get an iPhone.

 

Soz, it was lined up🤷‍♂️😉

It's all set up for iPhone for some reason 

I think I have had a similar issue a while ago.  From what I can remember I deleted the cache on the phone for Spotify, this will delete any downloaded music, then restarted the phone and also restarted the Car Audio system, holding down the power button till it turns off the restarts, and it seemed to work.  TBH I get a lot of issues with AA, though I think this is more the wireless system, which an audio system restart always fixes.

Thanks Ayreshire, please advise how you restarted the Car audio system

 

And yes, mine is hard wired Android

You press the power button on the front of the hifi screen  until it turns off and then you get a thump through the speakers then let go.  It just reboots it
