Android Auto is a valuable tool for drivers, but disconnections can be frustrating. This guide provides solutions to common connectivity problems.

Connection Troubleshooting

  1. Check Cables and Ports: For USB connections, ensure the cable and ports are clean and undamaged. Replace the cable if necessary. For wireless connections, verify stable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
  2. Disconnect Other Devices: Unplug or disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on other paired phones to prevent interference.

Software and System Checks

  1. Update Android Auto: Check the Google Play Store for updates and install them to resolve potential bugs. See POCO Launcher Update for similar update advice.
