Android Auto keeps disconnecting

It can be frustrating when Android Auto keeps disconnecting during use, whether it's due to random disconnections, disconnections when moving the phone, or the phone repeatedly disconnecting from Android Auto. Several factors can contribute to this issue:

  • Phone Compatibility: Ensure that your phone is listed as a compatible device for Android Auto. Some older or less common phone models may have limited compatibility or experience connectivity issues, leading to random disconnections.
  • USB Cable and Connection: To prevent disconnections, make sure you're using a high-quality USB cable that is compatible with both your phone and your car's USB port. A faulty or incompatible cable can lead to intermittent disconnections, affecting your Android Auto experience.
  • App and System Updates: Keeping your Android Auto app and phone's operating system up to date is crucial. Outdated software versions can result in compatibility issues and instability, leading to frequent disconnections.
  • Battery Optimisation: Some phones have aggressive battery optimisation settings that may interfere with Android Auto's functionality. Ensure the Android Auto app is exempt from any battery optimisation restrictions to prevent random disconnections.
  • App Permissions: Granting the necessary permissions to the Android Auto app is essential for its smooth operation. Make sure it has permissions for phone calls, contacts, and location services to avoid any potential disruptions.
  • Interference from Other Apps: Background apps running on your phone can sometimes interfere with Android Auto, causing it to disconnect randomly. Closing or disabling unnecessary apps can help minimise such interference.
  • Phone Movement: If your phone is connected via a USB cable, excessive movement or vibrations while driving can cause the cable to disconnect temporarily. Consider using a phone mount or holder to stabilise the device and reduce the chance of disconnections.
  • Infotainment System Updates: Regularly check for firmware updates for your car's infotainment system. Keeping it up to date can address compatibility issues and improve the overall stability of Android Auto.
