I’m re-opening this topic because the issue is not fixed. I had a trip today and Android Auto did not work. This is extremely inconvenient.
I just need to know if this is hardware related (i.e. a replacement will fix the issue) or a software related and thus I need to wait for an update.
Just a small note: when I connect the phone to the car the Android Auto icon on the car lights up for less than a second then turns off.
Also please remember that my old Samsung S6 running Android 7 doesn’t have this issue.
