A few months ago, I bought at the jeep cult. This vehicle has the ability to connect with a bit fansness Android auto. I was excited because I never had a car that could connect with my Android phone and actually use it.
Of course, I was the biggest reason for using Android auto for spotify connection. My previous auto would allow me to connect my phone, but I had to control music from the phone itself, which I do not do while driving (safe drive, everyone).

Now when I can do all that through the vehicle’s touch screen or steering-wheel control, I am using my phone’s SPOTIFY app every time when you get into the car. However … Android auto slowly failed to either connect or take minutes to do so.
It became disappointing. My phone instructed me that it was a problem with the cable, so I switched it. The same problem, so I switched to another cable. I was using high speed, high quality cables, so this was not the issue.
(I would advise you to buy High-speed, high-quality USB cable for this If you do not have one.)
Too: Your Android Auto got just 5 useful upgrade for free – and not Google
I will unplug the phone, plug it back in, and repeat the process again and again for any profit. Eventually, I realized that it was not a cable, which meant that it had to have a jeep software or my phone.
It took me some time, but I found this work a way to work as expected.
How to fix slow Android auto connection
what you’ll need: To do this work, you will need Android phone and a vehicle that supports Android Auto.
Android auto is automatically detected when it is connected to your vehicle and drives the necessary software. Plug into your phone, and Android Auto will do its job. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
In fact, there were times when Android auto took up to 5 minutes to connect at the end.
This is difficult, because at least on my Pixel 9 Pro, there is no Android Auto app. Instead, Android Auto Settings is found within the app. This surprises me because it makes more understanding if Android Auto had its own app.
Oh okay, I am not an engineer in Google, so it’s not above me.
Instead, open the Settings app and go to the “Connected device”> “Connection preferences”. In this section, you should see Android auto near the bottom. Tap on Android Auto.

I still believe that Android Auto should be its own app.

You have to stay in your car at this point. Start your car (or turn it so that your entertainment/infotainment screen is turned on). Go back to your phone and tap “Connect a vehicle”. Once you do this, plug your phone into the car (with a high-speed cable), and the connection should be made quite quickly.

The mystery button is awaited.

With this connection, your phone Needed Remember the connection, and there should be no problem waiting for Android auto to connect to your vehicle.

It worked for me and my jeep. Your situation may be different, depending on the vehicle software, whether the software is updated, your phone make and model, and the cable you use. Hopefully, you will have the same luck with this process, and Android Auto will now pop up after plugging your phone into the car.
