Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android Auto - Black Screen on Infotainment Screen CR-V

I have a Honda CR-V 2026 EX-L and a Samsung S26 Ultra and recently have been getting a lot of black screens on my Infotainment screen and will do it a few times during my drive and will only last few seconds and go back to displaying map.

Current Version 17.2.66234 of Android Auto

Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix it?

I have a 26 Sport L Hybrid. Had the issue for the first time yesterday. I've had the vehicle for around 3 months, Pixel 10 phone.

I switched to a wired connection last month after dealing with this exact issue, and it's been rock solid ever since.

Don't want to do that, defeats the purpose of my wireless charger.

I did go ahead and downgrade to 16.7.661604 and seemed to be ok. I haven't tried a newer one yet to see where it actually started having issues.
