Android auto disconnects12/22/2023 ![]() ![]() My issue is a bit complicated though as my Entune radio is transplanted into my 4Runner so I could not run AA through the normal harness using the supplied adapter. I have been fighting with this on my Toyota Entune 3.0 system. My reply is not to discourage others from trying cables as I don't doubt cable do indeed make a difference as many not stubborn enough including myself have found out. I bought it not because of bandwidth (USB-C 2.0 was rare as there was no demand) but because at that time USB 3.1 (now known as USB 3.2 Gen 2) cost twice as much. My 4 yr old 5 Gbps USB-C 3.0 cable is still working without issue. Newer head unit with USB 3.X only benefits from higher amperage charging. Older micro-usb 2.0 phones are still compatible with AA (edit: as well as entry level phones with USB-C 2.0). Though the head unit USB 2.0 port will be the bottleneck, 480 Mbps is enough for AA. So using 5 Gps USB 3.2 Gen 1 (aka USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1) or 10 Gbps (not 10 Mbps so likely typo on your part) USB 3.2 Gen 2 (aka USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2) cable on a USB 2.0 port would still be limited to 480 Mbps. The reason being your head unit USB port is likely only USB 2.0 which has a max bandwidth of 480 Mbps. I'm glad you found a working cable but bandwidth isn't the issue. I'm not sure anyone from Google will read this, but maybe it's time to test this, find ways to tune up data usage, and maybe update FAQ pages if it turns out I'm correct. That seems to be the fix.Īs for the Android auto bug that's causing this, I'm guessing it relates to efficiency issues within the code. Try a cable with higher data transfer rates than what you're using. I imagine it should work for others experiencing this same problem. This solution worked for my setup a Google Pixel 4a 5G phone and a 2018 Subaru Impreza Premium sedan. And guess what? My phone now stays connected. I tried a fairly cheap Amazon Basics cable with 10 Mbps transfer. But this time, rather than choosing one based on cost or simply using an OEM cable like everyone suggests, I went with one that had higher data transfer rates. I had of course tried dozens before without luck. Running Google maps alone was fine, but start up Spotify or get a text message, and blam, you're disconnected. I noticed the disconnects kept happening whenever a lot of phone data was being used. Well, I think I finally figured out the source of the problem: data. ![]() It's frustrating, and no one from the Android Auto team offered up a solution that works. but then, without warning, your phone randomly disconnects. You plug your phone in, and everything is going swell. Like so many Android Auto users, I struggled for a long time with relentless disconnecting issues. ![]()
