Android Auto Quit Working

I've had the car 2 1/2 years, and I've never had a problem using AA. I was 20 minutes into a trip last weekend, and it suddenly lost connection. I haven't been able to connect since. I've used 2 different cables in both USB ports. I've uninstalled/reinstalled AA on the phone. The phone is charging via the cable. I have no problem playing music on thumb drives in the USB ports. And AA works when I connect my phone in my Honda.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a phone (or app) issue. I noticed that my AA just got an update 2 days ago. If you use Google to backup your phone, you may want to try to restore an older version of AA and try it again. You could also delete your phone out of the Corvette system and add it back. As it quit while using it and other apps work, seems like an AA issue with the Corvette.

It's crazy but true... 3rd party cables seem to eventually and sometimes suddenly, stop working! Had it happen several times. Had exact thing happen December as we drove back from a long road trip. It was fine and all of a sudden it didn't work. The OnePlus OE cable worked fine when I grabbed it when back home. Go figure...

I'd strongly suggest go out and buy a new high quality cable, and your troubles will disappear. (I've tried using other "used" cable from around the house, other phones, etc., with no success. New high-quality cable always solved the problem.) YMMV.

I have an Android Motorola Moto7 but don't use Android Play.

I just pair the phone w/the car via Bluetooth and it just plays music off of Pandora which I find the easiest to use. I recently had to re-pair the phone to the car but once it's locked in, it's fine.
