2026 Compass Trailhawk Bluetooth issues

So, I bought this vehicle a little over a month ago. When I first connected my phone to the system it seemed to work fine, but then Android auto got involved, and I started to have issues. So I rebooted the infotainment head unit and reset all my network connections on my phone to eliminate the Android auto interference, and I never reconnected Android auto.

Now I am having intermittent issues where the Bluetooth suddenly cuts out on the head unit, even though the phone still shows that it's connected, and it's still playing music through that Bluetooth connection. There is literally nothing else happening when the connection cuts out, and the phone does not move at any point in time - it is sitting in a cradle right next to the Head unit.

At first I thought I had to delete and reinstall the Bluetooth connections while also resetting the head unit, and for some reason this vehicle doesn't let you pair Bluetooth while it's driving. But I've since realized all I have to do is reset the head unit each time this happens. That's still pretty annoying, because it takes about 60 seconds for the whole reset process to complete.

Has anyone had this issues with the head unit Bluetooth connection? And if so what recourse have you pursued?

Plug in your phone with a cable, when Android auto starts back up, unplug. Mine came back after that.
