Some Google Pixel owners are seeing connection issues with Android Auto lately, with no clear cause to point at.

    I’ve always had flaky connections but discovered it’s the cable. Usually when connection gets flaky I replace the cable and it works well going forward.

          Didn’t knew this existed at all, will look at this definitely because I have problems with usb C plug on my phone that doesn’t hold very well the connector…

          I have had one of these for a year. It’s real handy but it does on occasion cut out my audio while driving. Happens more when driving with nav on. It’s a little disruptive, but not enough to return it. I’m on an S22 Ultra.

    It’s been flaky with my Pixel 6 from day 1. Sometimes it won’t connect at all. Other times it will drop connection in the middle of a drive. The latest annoyance is that about half the time when I plug it in the phone goes to USB Tethering instead AA and I have to change it.

      Me too, Bought a pixel 6 in hopes for a more pleasant experience with android overall,but my connection to my Ford sync4 with AA has been miserable. Ford says(of course) it’s not The radio. Using AA wireless and wired. So often I have complete lockups, where I shut off the truck when I get to a light so it can reboot. Occasionally it hangs if I exit AA to go to the Ford menu too.

    I have had connection issues forever, but I think I can blame my car for that, as my wife’s iPhone has the same issue.

      Yeah, in cases like that, I think there could be an environment factor causing interference. There’s a spot in town that no matter when, what car, or what phone, it kills the wireless car play or android auto connection.

    Probably not specific to Pixel, but on several occasions I noticed when I set a destination in my P6, then connect that to my Android Auto - I have to do that again

    Oddly enough in this wave of people having issues mine has actually been working better than ever. Pixel 7 Pro / Honda Civic / AA Wireless. It’s been a month since I had a connection drop.
