Hi all, I have my Samsung S22 Ultra a couple months now, then just a couple weeks ago
Android auto started to not connect with my 2020 MDX Hybrid. Things I have done so far:

1) Used several USB-C Cables including OEM and 3rd parties.
2) Uninstalled Android auto updates and installed previous older versions
3) Deleted the phone from the cars memory

Still not having any luck. Anyone having the same issue?

 

Try deleting storage and cache on all four of below:

- Google Play service
- Android Auto
- Assistant
- Google

Also, if you have a Samsung/Google watch or bluetooth headset, temporarily shut them off while the phone connects for the first time.

 

Try doing all of the above, if it doesn't work I would do a factory reset on your S22 and unplug the battery from the car, see if that works.

When I purchased my 2018 Hybrid, I had the latest LG G-series phone and it wouldnt connect to android auto as well. I did some research and even reached out to LG and Google but still had no luck. I gave up and switched phones

Last resort would be to take into Acura and hope they would fix the issue free of charge since your still under warranty. I would think if they can't fix the issue, they would blame it on the phone. Saying so, I have a S22 Ultra and have little to no issues using android auto

Keep us updated on the situation

 

What version android auto and Android patch level do you have installed?
My issue started after August' security update.
