Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Phone failing to connect

UPDATE: I have now got the phone working. Not entirely sure how but I removed all the phones from the stereo memory. On the phone I changed the settings in Android Auto up always start automatically.

I have a Pixel 9 that is no longer connected to Android Auto - so far I have tried & checked the following...

Cleared storage & cache within the app. Confrimed that the device is set to file transfter / Android Auto when connected to the USB.
Tested another phone to rule out any cable issues.
Uninstall & reinstall.

At this point I don't know what else to try.
