I hate being on this end of questions, makes me feel dumb... And I promise I did a search first without finding the info I'm looking for.
So here's the rub:
I've got a really good quality USBc cable to connect my phone, and when I plug it in, Android auto pops up almost immediately, loads the map, and starts playing from wherever I left off on Spotify. All is right in my world, for about 30 seconds, and then AA shuts off. The radio defaults back to (exceedingly loud) FM radio, even though Bluetooth is still connected and I get "usb device not responding" on the infotainment screen. Fine, so I tap the Bluetooth source audio instead, Spotify picks back up no prob, for about 5 minutes, then android auto pops back up after another "usb device not responding" message (weirdly), and loads everything again. It runs for another 30 seconds before repeating the process over again.
This happens like clockwork on those intervals for the whole drive while I have the phone plugged in. Usually on the 3rd time I just unplug my phone so it will stop going back to FM radio when AA fails, and just listen to Bluetooth.
I am not the most tech-savvy millennial, but I know how to set up apps and devices and navigate menus and such. This problem is beyond my knowledge base...
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Have you encountered it and found a fix? Any help is much appreciated...
