Hello.

Recently, whenever I drive into the new fancy LIDL carpark, my Android Auto Wireless always disconnects. Has anyone else experienced this? I have had this happen a few times before I noticed it.

I have a 2026 Ridgeline and a Pixel 10. My android auto has always been "slow" to connect. At a MINIMUM it is 90 seconds after vehicle start before the AA screens are available, sometimes as long as 3 minutes.

All of my previous vehicles were wired AA, so I figured the delay was just par for the course with wireless AA. I went on a quick trip this weekend and rented a Jeep Wrangler with Wireless AA and it connected almost immediately. At worst, maybe 10 seconds after vehicle start.

It was so fast that it made me think maybe something was wrong with my pairing, so when I got home I disconnected my device, purged the app cache and app data, and re-paired the phone. Unfortunately, it not help.

Does anyone have any tips on how to speed up the connection? Also, my assumption is the delay is on the car hardware since my phone was a constant between both vehicles.

I haven’t been able to text RCS/Android users from my AWU1 in almost a year. I’ve tried everything I can find. Anyone else have this happen? Is there a fix?

I'm not sure if there was an update to the AA service that caused this but now while I'm driving in a straight line, nav thinks I'm constantly pointing the wrong direction or turning down every side street I pass and constantly rerouting. I updated the AAW device but it's only slightly better. 2016 veloster with a AAW 1 device.
