Android Auto randomly disconnects wirelessly--Don't want to us USB

[SRQ_Ken]

As I said, though, the phone settings (under Connections) say it is,still connected to the truck's wireless network. So it has to be AA, no?

Going through this thread I see that many have different issues leading to disconnection; also I thought AA needs both WiFi and Bluetooth to maintain the wireless AA connection. Maybe your Bluetooth was interrupted? I personally don't think its AA, but more the vehicle and radio infrastructure, for example, maintaining a constant AA connection is much more fickle (and location based) on my 2021 F150 then on my generic Chinese AA radio I installed in my 4runner. I would encourage you to find more rhyme or rhythm to your issue, maybe it could help me as well.

Spoke to Ford "Over The Air" tech team yesterday (833-389-0848). He said Ford was aware of intermittent bluetooth connection failures and that a software update in the next few days will address the issue. We'll see....

I've got one of those $200 magic boxes that I leave connected in the sliding door below the HVAC; it's connected via USB and at times is a bit slow to acknowledge internet after a reboot but is otherwise flawless, leaves my phone unrelated to the truck and allows for YouTube etc. while driving. I update my Fuelly every time this way.

When making quick stops like gas or a fast run-in for a single item I leave the truck key on engine off so it doesn't have to reboot, keeping Google Maps, Pandora, internet etc. up and running. Using my phone in that situation would have the phone connect and disconnect when running inside, possibly inducing issues.

Here's a thread on it.
