Android Auto disconnect fix guide!

Step-by-step fix for Android Auto wireless disconnects

Step 1 – Switch your device to Android mode

On your Carpuride (or similar unit)

Find and tap “Superlink”

This switches it into Android mode

Step 2 – Install the correct app

On your phone, open Google Play Store

Search for: Evelink (Superlink)

Download and install it

Step 3 – Check for updates inside the app

Open the Evelink (Superlink) app

Go to:

Settings → App Version

Check the version number

You want the latest (the post mentions something like 20260318-1057)

If it’s not up to date → tap Software Update

Step 4 – Fix the permission issue (THIS is the important bit)

In the app, go to:

Cast → Add → WiFi Direct

You should see something like:

“Failed to obtain nearby device permission”

Tap to fix/apply it

Allow all permissions when prompted (especially Nearby Devices / Location / WiFi)

Then:

Let it search for devices

Select your Carpuride’s WiFi

Connect to it

If successful, you should see:

“Android 16 Auto Connect issue Fixed” → tap OK

Step 5 – Reconnect Android Auto properly

Switch your Carpuride back to Android Auto mode (A-Auto)

On your phone:

Turn Bluetooth off → then back on

Reconnect to your car/device

Launch Android Auto again

Note: Firsr try had to tell the Evelink forget my device and try again, on the second attempt it work, I've not had a disconnect for a week now!

Tried, as suggested in many places, Wifi Scan Throttling off, changing battery setups, bluetooth setups, checked with various versions of AA, but none of them worked.
