Android Auto not working after latest Ineos software update

[acaciolo]

I just got the latest software update for my 2024 to finally eliminate the annoying speed nag, but unfortunately it has caused Android Auto to no longer work. I spent a few hours last night doing all the usual stuff -clearing cache, clearing data, restarting phone, resetting comm setting on ineos, unpairing, deleting, hard reset ineos, install beta version of android auto on the samsung fold 7 and nothing will get Android auto to start. The phone does connect via bluetooth and the Ineos sees it, but the phone says "start android auto on vehicle" which is supposed to start automatically. I've togged the android auto settings regarding auto start...and no luck.

So today, I got 2 of my employees Androids (different brands) and the same thing happened. It connects via bluetooth but android auto will not start no matter what.

Anybody else experiencing this?

thanks
tony

i know my phone needs wifi enabled both on the phone and the Grenadier's hotspot. Did you disable one or both?

I have both the latest SW + Android.

yup. also wiped out all previous network connections. disabled, enabled, reset... no matter what we try, we get the same message on every android. In the android auto app it shows it is connected to the grenadier but the pop up on the phone says to "enable android auto" on the vehicle. I've also tried starting the connection in the android auto settings on the phone and by holding in the mic button on the steering wheel. It goes through the process, shows it is connected to android auto but the android auto app just won't start up on the head unit in the ineos.

Have you gone to phone connection setting and clicked on Android Auto symbol? I run a pixel 9 and no issues. Same with my work Samsung fold.
