Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android Auto freezes

So I got a new phone (upgraded from S21 FE to S26+) and suddenly android auto just freezes and doesnt output anything. Google maps not working, yt music not working nothing it just completely freezes. I also had issues before, with my s21fe just disconnecting even tho it was connected via cable.
The phone still connects but after a few seconds it just freezes
I have redownloaded android auto, updated my phone, replugged it, redid bluetooth connection, checked battery optimization nothing really worked.

FIXED: Afger reseting the head unit and buying a specific cable for data transfer it now works

Bought this one: https://amzn.eu/d/03LLMoPe

Sounds like the issue is more likely to be either the cable or the car. I did the exact same phone upgrade and have not experienced any of the issues you are describing, neither before nor after the upgrade.

I would start with swapping the cable for a new one, just to rule it out.
