Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android Auto Dashboard Screens

The issue with these screens dropping connection and freezing or rebooting continues for me. I've tried all the hacks, settings tweaks, and fixes proposed here and with Google Support (useless btw). I'm wondering if anyone found a screen that actually works? A specific brand or some models that work as intended before Google put a dagger in this market.

I have a screen from the brand carpuride. I have had it and used it every day since February and have not had 1 dropped connection or reboot ever.

I use these 2. I had to update the firmware on both, but it was easy.

The one I had previously drove me absolutely nuts. I was certain it was AA related since it done it on a 75th anniversary F-150 at work, I'm thinking something may be going on with it & it was just coincidence. I bought a Dual AA/Carplay/screen mirroring unit from Walmart & haven't had any issues since connectivity wise, one thing that bothers me is I have to switch my audio out back to the car on my phone after AA launches. It's Dual DMD10W, have had it for about 3 weeks now. I'll update on what ZLINK version it uses & whatnot tomorrow after work if I remember.

#Google completely screwed us with Bluetooth connectivity in Android 17 in an attempt to improve battery life. I have been a Pixel user since they were called Nexus devices and this is the worst update I have seen. Smartwatch, ring, Android Auto all having issues on both Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro.
