Android Auto
I can launch android auto from my phone when not connected to the car however when I connect to car and it tries to auto load. The projection icon changes to android auto my phone flashes to it then both drop off.
I've tried reinstalling the app, is anyone else having this issue?

Here are some things to be sure you have:
A high quality cable specifically for data transfer.
The latest software update for your phone.
I'm sure others may chime in as well with more suggestions. Which phone are you using?

That's what I'm thinking too. I still using my 2 year-old Galaxy S6.
I'm wondering if a newer phone would be more likely to connect. In my other thread, I've asked to find out what phone guys are using that is working with the Infotainment System.

I'm wondering if there is some sort of setting on my phone I need to change in order for it to function like it should.

I wonder, with such a short cable, where exactly are you plugging it in? It seems like you're trying to use the lighter or something like that? Because I do not think that that has a data connection to the car. I'm not sure that the USB outlet in the secret compartment has a data connection or not. Me, I use the USB port under the arm rest with a data cable and have had no problems.
