Anyone having issues with Android Auto constantly connecting/disconnecting?

[djsassan]

Since the latest update at the end of Jan, I have noticed my display say Android Auto disconnecting, then reconnecting a LOT compared to in the past. Same phone, no issues in my other car and no issues if I connect via Bluetooth only.

My music never cuts out, but I get the message a lot more often recently.

I have disconnected then reconnected the phone to the car, same issue persists.

Any thoughts?

could just be an issue with the update and your particular phone, sometimes they issue a fix sooner or later, in the meantime
if the previous verson worked fine, then go into app's and note the current version (write it down)
unistall android auto, then go online and find the .APK for the previous version and install it.

My car was updated, not my phone.

you could try a motorola ma1 that eliminates "update issue's" and works pretty great.
it converts a wired connection to wireless, so I know you have wireless already but if it is giving you problems beyond your control the ma1 is a fix and a workaround.
so unless you are also having wired connection issue's also then it should resolve the problem until they work out the problem they being "gm or google"

if you decide to try the ma1 then before you connect the ma1, remove your phone from the vehicle memory and vehicle from phone memory
then connect to the ma1 only. doing this prevents problems of the wrong thing connecting.
amazon has them for about $100, last time I looked anyway.

I just bought a 2024 Yukon Denali and I am having the SAME issue. The phone always connects for calls but about half the time it will not connect Android Auto. Nothing I can do will let it connect. Then, sometimes it instantly connects automatically with no help from me. Either way nothing I do helps or it does it itself automatically.

Make sure radio firmware is Y171 or later, ask your dealer to update it to Y172 if not

My 2019 Tahoe just started doing this. It randomly disconnects Android Auto and then reconnects a minute later. Is incredibly aggravating.

My 2022 Z71 has been doing this for months, well before the most recent update. It doesn't do it with USB, but the USB port in the center console/under the arm rest seems to eat cables because I have to replace them every few months. After a two months or so it starts doing it with the cable as well until I replace the cable so I assume they're separating at the connector.

The MA1 Should work, the MA1 connects via usb, then converts it to wireless, the radio see's the connection as usb only
I have the ma1 in 2 vehicles and have had it for a few years now and it works flawlessly.
just be sure it is kept away from any other plugged in device that creates heat, I had it snugged up against a ipod in the console and it got hot and stopped working.
now i keep the ma1 on one side and the ipod on the other and no issue.
