5 months of trying to figure out why my maps weren't working in my car and all I could do was charge the phone and make calls. Your video helped me figure out I had the wrong USB cord, now all is fixed FINALLY!!! Thank you!!

Thanks so much for making this video. When my car would not recognize my phone I did a lot of reading and watched many videos. Not one mentioned updating android auto. I was getting ready to take my car to the dealer. After updating the android auto app on my phone the entertainment system worked immediately on my car. Thanks again for taking the time to place this video on KZfaq so everyone could access your knowledge.

i finally found a solution! After watching copious videos, reading webpages etc where none of the suggestions worked, i found that using a 3.0 and/or 2.0 hub connected to the car then connecting my phones cable to the hub worked just as it should. so far, no disconnecting at all!

A few months later it stopped working and they told me to change the cord, but the problem there is that Google phones come with a type C at both ends of the chord. My sister's phone connected perfectly just last month so it has to be my phone. Thanks for the troubleshooting ideas I hope they work for me.

A very important part is the USB cord has to be high quality for data transfer. Android Auto requires high data rates to work. The cord should be maximum 3 feet. The cable must be connected directly to the USB port on the car and not using any type of hub. The bargain type low cost cords are not of high enough quality to reliably work. If your cord should be rated at USB-3, and better be rated at USB-3.1. If your car has a USB-C port this should also work very well. I found before connecting Android Auto make sure your phone is connected using Bluetooth to start with. I found when getting in to the car and starting the engine, first allow the Bluetooth connection before connecting the USB cable and allowing Android Auto to start. This allows the vehicle software to first acknowledge the phone. This will make for better stability when Android Auto connects. With some models of phone with the combination of vehicle software, for it to be able to connect by Bluetooth the phone must be connected to the USB port. During the Bluetooth setup if there is any conflict with Android Auto, temporarily disable Android Auto in your car’s setup for Android Auto. It is also important to go in to the Security setup of the phone, go to Smart Lock or the equivalent in your phone model, and set the car as a trusted device. This will prevent after security timeout the phone from disconnecting from your car’s system. With some models of phones in combination with tie software the phone will time out and Android Auto may stop responding.

I've had my car for about 2 1/2 years, and never had a problem with Android Auto until recently. For some reason, about 2-3 weeks ago, NO SOUND. Apps worked, but could not get sound, which is an issue when using Google Maps for Driving directions. Unfortunately, I've tried everything from Google Support to these KZfaq videos to fix the issue. No advice works. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Android Auto and Google Maps, as recommended. That only made the issue WORSE! Went from NO SOUND, to now unable to connect. Yet my son's iPhone connects no problem, and the sound works - so the issue is definitely with Android Auto!

@carsunlocked 2 жыл бұрын

@billsager5634 2 жыл бұрын

@@carsunlocked Both Google Maps and Android Auto were fully updated. The last update, I believe, caused the no sound problem. Followed every step from Google Support and this video - nothing fixed the issue. Followed Google Support's advice to uninstall and reinstall both apps, which I did, and now my phone will not connect to my infotainment system. (Hyundai Sonata) Keep getting a "Cannot read USB" error message - which is a joke, as there is nothing wrong with the cables. Even bought a brand new Anker Powerline II cables. Still receive the same message. The issue is 100% Google, as the USB cables are fine (tested on different devices) and my son's iPhone connects instantly and works fine - even through cheap cables. Right now, I had to buy a phone holder, and use my phone only, for directions - using the Waze app. (Google Maps won't work in the car) Not an ideal situation, as due to state laws, can't have anything above the dashboard, (According to state law - "obstructions vision" - once got a huge ticket just for having a TomTom GPS in a corner out of vision range, but local police still issued me a summons). Problem with using the phone alone, because it can only be mounted lower than the dashboard - hard to see while driving, and Waze's directions aren't very accurate

@billsager5634 2 жыл бұрын

After contacting Google Support and receiving no help, other than the same bs of "Making Sure You Sound is On", "Make sure apps are updated" (Google's update CAUSED the damn problem), etc - as if Google thinks people are stupid. Contacted LG for help. After telling me the same nonsense as Google Support, the LG Support tech agent then tells me that Android Auto/Google Maps ARE NOT COMPATIBLE with LG products!! So I asked, why did these apps work fine on my phone for the past 3 years, and only recently stop working? The tech guy had no clue. I then told him that according to the Android Auto site, that the LG phone IS COMPATIBLE. Now the tech guy didn't now what to say, so I said "Essentially you are telling me to drop LG and buy an iPhone?" (Remember, as I mentioned previously - my son's iPhone connects instantly , has sound, and works fine, no problems.) Now suddenly LG has a "solution". He says to do a factory reset. So after backing up my data, completing the factory reset, reinstalling and updating the apps - I'm back to the original problem - NO SOUND! My phone connects to Android Auto - REGARDLESS of which cable I try (4 in all), however, still NO SOUND!!! Worse, if I walk with Google Maps for walking directions, it will voice turn by turn directions. However, in the car, regardless of whether connected to Android Auto or untethered, NO SOUND!!! Waze provides NO SOUND either when connected to Android Auto, but untethered, I can get sound through Waze. However, Waze is UNUSABLE for driving directions. Had to pick up my daughter from the airport a few days ago (Flight arrived 3:45 am) - but not only did Waze give wrong directions (Voice said turn left at 3rd Ave yet the Map showed Turn RIGHT at 2nd Ave) and because USERS can input traffic reports, seemed like every 10 seconds Waze would say "Watch out, disabled vehicle in left lane" or "Watch Out Police Activity Ahead", etc..... Those warning were most likely from rush hour - some 8+ hours earlier, and completely useless and distracting at the time I was driving! So back to the starting point - how do I get SOUND for Google Maps through Android Auto???????????. LG ThinQ35 - Android 9.0 fully updated Android Auto & Google Maps both fully updated

I had the issue with my phone disconnecting and reconnecting over and over. I purchased a high quality Belkin USB 3.1 cable 3.3/1M in length from Best Buy. This cable has a 10Gbps data rate. My Android Auto has not disconnected or crashed since.

You got my phone/truck talking to each other!!! YAY!!! 2018 gmc sierra slt & a brand new android S23. This one really stumped me and it worked last week (waze, android auto) but this week? no joy. I pushed every button that I could think of, but it was just really stubborn. This is weird!! perhaps my truck hates me? I didn't wear my lucky socks? the Vancouver Canucks lost a hockey game? hmmm. Ok, so I watched your video all the way through, and went out to my truck ( AKA "the pavement princess) and .... no. Damn!!! ok, re-watch the video and perhaps it's the cord? naw, couldn't be, I mean it's a freakin cord! it's only job is to plug in and shut up. Well I tried a new cord and voila!!! My phone likes my truck again!!!! :) The old cord? chopped up in a violent fit of rage!!! and tossed into the ocean!!!! ... ahem :) it was carefully driven down to the recycle center where it will benefit starving android phone workers in (earth) The sound doesn't yet come through my truck speakers as it did last week, but I'm suspecting that there's a setting on my phone for that. I hope. film at 11.....

Was trying to use Google map for verbal directions while charging phone on USB in my new 2019 Subaru today and Google maps would cut out and say it couldn;t be used while Android Auto was active. All I want is verbal directions while I'm driving. I don't care what app it comes from. I had to unplug phone from the car to use it on Google maps directions on the phone itself. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Android Auto not working? That was the case with me with my new KIA Soul. The cord was NOT the problem. The problem was that the Android Auto that came installed on my phone apparently had some issues . Once I deleted it and re-installed it, Android Auto worked.

your usb port is probably loose or damaged causing it to disconnect
