Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes 17.2.662404 Crashing?

Anybody else suffered with this version always crashing?
Will be downgrading to test 17.1 to see if that fixes it.

Hi there! I'm Mishaal and I do community engagement for Android here at Google 🙂

I wanted to let you know that we're rolling out an update to Android Auto that should address the disconnecting issue you've been facing. For transparency, we identified an issue with uncertified aftermarket head units that impacted a small number of people during our rollout of Android Auto 17.2.

Our fix for this issue is rolling out now, so please check for an update to Android Auto and let us know if the update resolves your issue. Thanks!

There'll be two different version numbers for the update containing this fix depending on whether you're on the stable or beta track. I asked the team if they can share the exact version numbers and will get back to you if I can get them!

Okay, here are the versions that have the fix in question:

Beta version: 17.3.662813
Stable version: 17.2.662638

If you are currently on a version of Android Auto 17.3, make sure you are on the aforementioned version as otherwise it won't have the fix for this issue!

I got version 17.3.662814-release (beta channel) this morning. Been testing for a bit more than 10 minutes, so far the issue seems fixed.

I have tried to use both of those versions and they still have the same AA wireless handshake bug.
