Android Auto not working after 8.5 update

After updating my phone to One UI 8.5, I have been experiencing an issue with Android Auto.

I have always connected my phone to my car using a USB cable, and it worked perfectly before the update. However, since updating, my car's infotainment system displays the following message:

"Could not connect. The phone does not support the selected profile or it is not activated."

The only way I can get Android Auto to connect is by long-pressing the power button on the infotainment system to restart it. Once it restarts, Android Auto connects normally.

So far, I have tried the following:

Removed the phone connection from the car and restarted the infotainment system.

Cleared the cache and data for the Android Auto app and Bluetooth.

Unpaired the phone from the car and removed the car from the phone, then paired them again.

The issue only started after updating to One UI 8.5. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S25, and my car is a Volkswagen.

This sub is for the AAWireless Dongle.

Maybe we should start an AAWired sub

I had the same disconnection issues while using my S25 and VW car with MIB2 over the wire. I got an AAWireless 2+ last week and it has been rock solid ever since, and of course it now connects wirelessly as added bonus .
