73 plate wireless android issues

[Dazm]

Hi all

 

Traded 71 plate in for 73 plate (both sportline) and I can't get android auto to work wirelessy. It flickers into life and has gone for a tempting few seconds twice so far.  Have tried removing phone from car and removing connection from android auto with no success. 

 

Annoyingly it works no issues with cable,  but this is doing my nut in now so any suggestions (and no I am not getting an iPhone 🙂 )

Having the same problem we collected a new sportline last week. Android auto works after connecting through the cable and will then work intermittently wirelessly then won’t connect again.

Is the Android Auto up to date on your phone? You can check the Play Store for updates, alternatively you can download the newest version from here: Android Auto 10.5.6338 APK Download by Google LLC - APKMirror.

I uninstalled and reinstalled auto so it's the latest version

This has happened before, from memory around late 2018 for few weeks, was a poor update of android auto, which was sorted in next release.

 

Could it be repeat?

Has anyone had any luck with solving the Android Auto issue. Mine worked fine on my 22 plate Karoq but it won't connect on my new 73 plate Karoq 😒

Sadly not,  in the same boat 21 plate karoq that I traded in worked with no issues 73 just will not connect

Were the supplying dealer any help? Only picked the new one up today, spent most of the afternoon setting everything but frustrating I can't Android Auto work.

Going to try a cable to see if I can jolt into life

My 73 reg car happily connects via the USB cable, but resolutely will not connect to the Android auto when on Bluetooth, even though the phone call option works.

Update, got the cable & plugged it in and Android Auto works. Worked fine on my 22 plate with Amundsen + without the cable

But not my 23 plate with Amundsen +

I can only guess that it maybe a software issue on the vehicle side.

Welcome to the club,  wireless worked fine on 21 plate but refused to work on 23.

There are apparently videos on Youtube giving details of connecting Android phones wirelessly but I suspect the power drain on the phone might be considerable. I use my phone to project Waze onto the infotainment screen, with the phone held in a Brodit clip to the left of the gear lever (look on the Brodit site) & the phone linked by 30cm USBmicro to USBc cable. 

 

All works fine & phone is constantly recharging to replace Waze usage.

 

Phone still works normally by Bluetooth.
