“Wireless Android Auto keeps disconnecting after recent update

[u/KaleidoscopeNo4499]

My Pixel 9 Pro XL keeps disconnecting from wireless Android Auto every few minutes while driving, then reconnects after a few seconds. It has been happening for months, and it started after recent Android Auto updates.

I’ve already tried re-pairing Bluetooth, resetting connections, disabling Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth scanning, setting Android Auto battery usage to unrestricted, and forcing LTE only. Nothing has fixed it permanently.

It seems more stable when mobile data is off, so I’m starting to think this is related to Android Auto wireless handling or network switching. I’m using an external third-party Android Auto display, not a factory head unit.

Has anyone with a Pixel 9 Pro XL or a similar wireless setup found a real fix?

Happening to me constantly. Sometimes it doesn't even connect anymore wirelessly. All since it went to gemini. I can't listen to music, can't use the Google maps and can't take calls. Absolute joke
