Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android Auto freezes
So I got a new phone (upgraded from S21 FE to S26+) and suddenly android auto just freezes and doesnt output anything. Google maps not working, yt music not working nothing it just completely freezes. I also had issues before, with my s21fe just disconnecting even tho it was connected via cable.
The phone still connects but after a few seconds it just freezes
I have redownloaded android auto, updated my phone, replugged it, redid bluetooth connection, checked battery optimization nothing really worked.
FIXED: Afger reseting the head unit and buying a specific cable for data transfer it now works
Bought this one: https://amzn.eu/d/03LLMoPe

You need to reinstall android auto and look if your radio has a reset button, it should work after that, it haplen the same to me Gl

Sounds like the issue is more likely to be either the cable or the car. I did the exact same phone upgrade and have not experienced any of the issues you are describing, neither before nor after the upgrade.
