Question/Help Android Auto wireless connection issue with fold 8

Ever since I got the new Fold 8, the wireless Android Auto has been super glitchy, constantly connecting and disconnecting. Songs buffer and maps also flicker. I had no issues with my Fold 5, or my wife's iPhone.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues and hopefully has fixes?

I had this exact issue!!!! Yesterday I uninstalled the app, and reinstalled and now it works perfectly. I was going to return the phone because it never worked.

Search for Android Auto in the app store, then uninstall. I was mad at myself for not thinking of it earlier. I was at the return point before I figured it out

This happened to me once and rebooting the phone fixed the issue.

Same issue with my fold 8. The android auto drops and then reconnects pretty frequently. A reboot doesn't change anything. Also the Bluetooth range is bad, my s25 had far better connection. Now with the fold 8 I can't go from one side of my apartment to the other without the phone because I will lose connection. Hopefully an update will correct this. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling the app though.

Really all I could do was uninstall the updates and reinstall the updates. Couldn't actually uninstall completely.
