I bought a wireless android auto USB Dongle for my 2016 Octavia VRS. It worked for a day and now I cannot get Andoid Auto to display on the screen at all.

I tried my new USB dongle in my wife's 2022 Hyundai Tucson and my phone connected straight away. She also has a wireless USB dongle (different brand) and my phone connected to it in her car straight away, but when I used her USB dongle in my car, the same issue again, it would not display on the screen. I get a message sometimes saying "reading USB device", but Android Auto doesn't appear on my screen.

Once i plug a cable into my phone and plug it into the car's USB port, it boots straight into Andoid Auto.

Eventhough it worked on the first day, is it possible that my car doesn't support wireless display?

I have gone through all the settings on my phone and "WIRELESS ANDROID AUTO" is ticked, but anyway, it works in my wife's car, so my phone is not the issue.

Would there be a particular dongle that is compatible?

See my radio info below

It happens sometimes, turn the wifi on on the phone then look for your dongle bt and connect to it

The phone sometimes connects straight to the car bt bypassing the dongle.

My workaround is always leave the dongle in the usb socket
