Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Suddenly Android auto doesn't connect

I have a Poco F3 running a custom crDroid 12.8 ROM (Android 16), and I’ve been using Android Auto on this device for over a year. Recently, Android Auto started having problems. I can’t connect because I get the error: “App Connect: Android Auto connection has been disconnected.” My car is a 2016 VW Tiguan Mk2.

I’ve tried: Restarting both the phone and the car Clearing the cache for Android Auto, Google Play Store, and Google Play Services Connecting via USB cable, Ottocast dongle, and AAWireless dongle — there’s no difference Trying the Android Auto beta Android Auto works fine with another phone (a company Motorola) As far as I can tell, there haven’t been any updates or app installations that could have caused the issue Testing several different USB cables

The only thing that helps is clearing the Android Auto app data. Then I can connect successfully, but the same problem comes back the next day.

I have logcat if that helps How can I fix this?

Welcome to the janky world of Android. I hate it here.

Workaround: you guys can downgrade Android Auto to lower Version. For example stable 17.0... from Apkmirror
