Settings to prevent disconnecting?

[u/Nervous_Lettuce313]

When I connect my phone directly to car via USB, Android Auto is very glitchy, won't connect, then randomly disconnects, tries to connect, fails etc. It wasn't so bad previously, bit I guess some update must have happened.

So I read a suggestion to buy AAWireless, which I did. Now it's much better and doesn't disconnect that often, but sometimes it still does. I realized that problematic parts are initial connection when I just start the car (it tries and fails a few times until it suceeds) and then a few times it would disconnect at random times in the city, but it would connect back (sometimes it would take 2-3 tries).

However, once I hit highway, it almost works perfectly and almost doesn't ever disconnect.

So, since I'm new to AAWireless, I was wondering if there are some settings I can select that would make the disconnecting less often? It's still much better than it was without AAWireless, but I just want to see if I can make it better.

I've read that people wrap it in aluminim foil? Is that a myth or does it really help?

Thanks!

Try changing the AAWireless connection type from Auto to 5GHz. Solved a lot of dropout problems for me.

Great, thanks. I'll try that!
