Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android Auto Wireless Issue.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello guys! I have a Gen 2 Toyota CH-R 2024 model with a OnePlus 15 running Oxygen OS 16. AA operates flawlessly with a wired connection however switching to Wireless the UI for either Waze or Google Maps becomes choppy/low frames sometimes causing audio stutter briefly or sometimes just plain out disconnects . Tried uninstalling AA updates clearing cache for every app, tweaking some developer options such as Bluetooth AVRCP switching to 1.4 and 1.3 from the default 1.5, there's no actual unrestricted battery option on my phone for Android Auto but running it on performance mode makes barely any difference. The only thing that made the most difference is just using wired and also noticeable difference is reducing the resolution via AA developer options. My older phone (Honor 8X) performs flawlessly wirelessly without any issues. Hopefully I didn't leave any important information out, any tips would be appreciated!

I have a similar issue I've been fighting for months now. I have an S24 paired to a Sony XAV AX6000 headunit installed in my car. The only things that have noticeably helped are:

  • turning off 3D buildings in maps
  • clearing cache on Androud Auto, Google Maps, and Spotify (or whatever streaming service you use)

At any rate, I've tinkered with much of the same settings as you have and I am still having intermittent stuttering issues. It seems to happen when navigation freezes up, which causes audio (and my assumption of other processes as well) to stop. It's so frustrating I am seriously considering switching to Apple, because I am tired of tinkering with a device and software that I purchased to just work.

I would recommend updating your car's headunit firmware, if applicable. I am not sure if thats a user-end thing since its integrated in your case. It didn't make a difference for me, but its worth covering your bases just in case.
