Car Stereo Bluetooth Issue Remains

[CrymsonDawn]

I reported this in every iteration of the beta for the S25+ and the issue has persisted into the stable release. 

UI8 has a bug where Bluetooth connection to non-Android Auto vehicle stereo systems that use only Bluetooth is not functioning properly. 

Auto connection never works and, on the occasions where it is able to connect after manual toggling, both audio and phone connections are prone to constant disconnecting. 

This seems to be an issue on most non-Android Auto Bluetooth car stereos and is not limited to just Samsung devices, with Android 16 at large having this issue based on reports from Pixel users.

Despite months of reports from Android users of many manufacturers, this issue has persisted.

My Galaxy S25 is not connecting to my Android Auto now. It did at one point today then plugged it back in and it didn't. It keeps saying make sure I'm using a port with the phone icon in it which I am. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the recent update? Android Auto will not even detect. I thought maybe it was a fuse to the port so completely changed it out and still didn't work. Unpaired and phone and deleted it in the system and readded and it and I still get the same message. I am only ae to connect using Bluetooth.

Have you tried change the cable? I would try to restart the phone and then try to connect. Sometimes a good restart will do the trick if it is previously working

Forgot to mention, I did restart my phone as well as tried a different cable. Neither changed the outcome.

Another option is to open an issue with the android team to let them know that it stopped working after the update

[Tasha84]

How do I do that?

In the Playstore Store you can do this.

I can't post links here but search for the android Auto community and there will be "experts" there that can escalate to the android team

You will have to wait for Google to issue a Play System update unfortunately. Ui8 is still on July, every other device I am on is September.

Does anyone know how to S25 to connect to Android auto. Samsung is no help and states there is no problem on their end. Funny, my S20 works just perfect but not the S25.

I try all ideas on the internet for help nothing works.

Thanks
