Have a new Skoda Karoq model year 2023. Does not work at all with the wireless android auto connection. The  connects, drops after 1-2 seconds to try again. Does not stop searching to connect for a second. Wants to i turn off the car's function to connect to my phone. Can't have my phone connected to make a call. Have a samsung s22 ultra. Tried all  I can find, to make it work.

 wants  the car to stop searching for my phone. How can I turning it off in the car?

Try getting the car and phone to separately 'forget' the other device

On your phone go to Settings, Apps, Android Auto and Clear Storage

Got no idea if that will work but if you have a corrupted pairing it might work when you try to link them next time.

They have never been able to pair...

Can the two devices successfully pair with other things even if not (yet) with each other? 

yes. Apparently it's a problem only with the Samsung s22 ultra and s23 ultra, not the other s22 and s23

Skodfa owns the problems now! We wait and see....

 

Have you tried returning the car to Factory Settings and starting again?

It is possible, however remote, that something got corrupted during the initial set up of the Infotainment system.  

 

Maybe a long shot and a waste of time but any port in a storm.

 

I have deliberately resisted suggesting doing the same for the handset as that can be a real PITA.  You may of course be happy to try it but, for me anyway, that's a serious last resort for any phone issues.   

No! Its the re-sellers problems to fix. ---

Have given up on getting it to work. may solve the problem of buying android auto adpter. Too bad it doesn't work. You can travel soon to March, but they can't make a phone and a car work together.

 

How can you be sure it isn't Samsung's problem?

Anyway.  I've tried to offer some suggestions so I've leave you to communicate with Skoda

To be honest it probably is a Samsung problem as they have a habit of messing with Android in their phones in such a way that it breaks certain functions...   They have regular history of doing so. 

 

Personally I wouldn't buy a Samsung phone for that reason alone...   Your far better off with plain unadulterated Android. 

I have had a Skoda Kamiq before and it worked. The problem has occurred since android auto has updated from ver 11, so the owner of the problem is android auto Then what you mean by good or bad phone is up to each. some prefer Skoda, some BMW, for example. It is the case that Skoda has a page where you can check if the phone is compatible. It is the one according to Skoda.

Ok then you know more about android than it is possible to get anywhere that samsung is as bad as you now say. But according to Skoda, it is a phone that should work with android auto wirelessly! Therefore, the question is left to Skoda. they have received some information about software both in the car and on the phone and will look into it. ndroid works with cable, but then why should I have paid an extra installation for wireless charging.
