I cannot get my S25U to work with my 2020 Chevy Silverado. My S24U had no issues connecting on the day of or for the past year for that matter. 

My phone and truck both say it's connecting, but it never comes up. 

Here's the message that I get on my infotainment: 

Connecting to Android Auto Phone 
Check phone for messages. 
Cancel

I've tried clearing cache on my phone, no updates available on the phone or infotainment.

I've tried both usb ports and 2 different new cords.

Ik had dit probleem ook. 
Heleboel stappen gevolgd (andere kabel etc.). Uiteindelijk  is het 
opgelost door
a. het infotainmentsysteem van mijn Mazda 2 opnieuw op te starten

b. cache en gegevens verwijderen van Android auto op je smartphone
c. autoblocker uitgeschakeld

Toen pas kabeltje verbonden en ja! Hij heeft eindelijk Android Auto gevonden. 

Bedankt voor de eerder gegeven tips!

@USAMAC The post by @Anne1 is in Dutch. 

Translation:

I had this problem too.
Followed a lot of steps (different cable, etc.). Ultimately it is solved by
a. restart the infotainment system of my Mazda 2
b. delete cache and data from android auto on your smartphone
c. autoblocker disabled

Only then connected the cable and yes! He finally found Android Auto.

Thanks for the tips given earlier!

I have the same issue. Have cleared data and tried a cable that works perfectly in my other vehicle. I think I'm just going to buy a wireless adapter.. tired of switching cables every time I switch between my android and wife's iPhone anyway.

The only thing I could find to provide wireless android auto connectivity for my 2020 Silverado was an addon unit that costs ~$800. It also required removing the infotainment unit from the dash to install it.

If you find a more reasonable and frankly convenient alternative option, please share here! I thought I'd find some usb dangle to plug in that would provide this basic feature.

This is the one I use. I've been using it since Christmas with minimal problems. The only problem I've had, is when I'm in an area with a lot of interference (I live in Minnesota, so downtown Minneapolis) it will disconnect and my infotainment goes blank for about 5 seconds and then it reconnects.

@USAMAC I bought one of these. Very easy to mount, connect and use. No tearing up your dash. Link -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGTSWPNX?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

Android auto starts working on my 2020 Honda CRV. Following is what I have done based on some suggestions posted here and some others. All are listed below:

On cell phone S25Ultra

Cleared Cache, cleared data

Turned of Auto blocker in settings under security and Privacy

Cleared previously connected cars.

Bought a new data cable (just to be sure.)

ON the car side

Restarted car's infotainment unit .

in smartphone settings chose Android Auto

"Disabled" previous connected phone (my note 20 ultra)

"Enabled"  unknown  connected device (Now is being shown my s25ultra)

Turned off my phone's Wi-Fi (was trying to connect in my drive way and felt it was a problem)

Connected my phone to car's USB port.

It took some time to connect (saying finding Bluetooth, even though phone was already paired).

Android auto was then connected and worked fine since then. ( 1day, waited performance before posting)

Trust it would be helpful. Best wishes and thanks for reading.
