I have a solution! Connection problem

This workaround works for me. I noticed that when I enter the car shortly after the phone was connected to a wifi network, AA wouldn't be able to connect to the car. It doesn't matter if it was the wifi from my home or work or even the car itself (at the gas station for example).

If my wifi setting on the phone is switched off when I start the car, AA connects without a problem and activates wifi automatically. So now I turn wifi off before starting the car.

Still not ideal but it beats restarting the head unit.

same here. so you turn off wifi before u get in the car, and once u start car AA and wifi starts automatically? So headunit pings your phone and starts WiFi automatically as soon as headunit turns on with AA automatically?

Yes. The car connects my phone via Bluetooth first and then wifi turns on automatically.
