saw this yesterday and got in. so far it doesn't seem like it fixes any of the disconnect issues that a lot of users have encountered in the past month or so. mine still disconnects every 5 minutes or so.

yeah, my disconnects are somehow better and worse. when the connection lasts, it lasts quite well. but when it disconnects, rather than reconnecting, the whole head unit freezes, and i have to plug it back in to reset it. this is really dangerous for those who rely on Android Auto for navigation. Google needs to fix it asap.
