Android Auto issues

Morning all. Anyone having problems with Android Auto ? It disconnects and reconnects by itself which never happened with my old phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 and a '17 Stingray . I searched for updates but it says I'm up to date .

Unpair and delete the phone from the car and start over... It usually helps.

That's how my problems started. Then it stopped connecting entirely. Turned out to be the USB cable. Try replacing it with a Samsung or high quality replacement cable.

Just an FYI .... I saw on Google that when your phone charge hits 100% while its connected it shuts off and they have yet to fix the glitch.

That may happen for some but my old Samsung S7 has no problem in my 19 Stingray.

I have the S21 Ultra and had the same issue. I switched over to a new cable (I was using the samsung cable previously) and that has seemed to fix the issue.

I just had mine updated to get Android Auto added but the dealership took like a week to research it before I was able to schedule the appointment. Probably just a knowledge gap.

Have you had any issues with the Galaxy S21 in the Vette? I'm thinking of upgrading to the S21. BTW, my Galaxy S8 does the same thing: gets hot and shuts down if I leave it in the console.

I've had no problems with my S21 while driving, but I've never left it inside the console. I usually tuck it between the passenger seat and the console.

It's an issue Samsung is aware of and should be fixing with Septembers update. My wife's S21 does the same thing sometimes it works fine others times it gets wonky.

Thanks. I'll wait until after the September update.
