I've always had flaky connections but discovered it's the cable. Usually when connection gets flaky I replace the cable and it works well going forward.

yea my 5a is doing fine with android auto except the cable gives out what feels like twice a year? I'm not very hard on cables, i don't know what the deal is. I wish my car had wireless aa
The USB port on my Pixel5 is useless but I got Motorola MA1 adapter: https://www.motorola.com/us/ma1-wireless-car-adapter-for-android-auto/p Developed with Google it enables wireless Android Auto. Using it for a month and it's perfect!
Didn't knew this existed at all, will look at this definitely because I have problems with usb C plug on my phone that doesn't hold very well the connector...
I have had one of these for a year. It's real handy but it does on occasion cut out my audio while driving. Happens more when driving with nav on. It's a little disruptive, but not enough to return it. I'm on an S22 Ultra.
Probably not specific to Pixel, but on several occasions I noticed when I set a destination in my P6, then connect that to my Android Auto - I have to do that again
I have had connection issues forever, but I think I can blame my car for that, as my wife's iPhone has the same issue.
It's been flaky with my Pixel 6 from day 1. Sometimes it won't connect at all. Other times it will drop connection in the middle of a drive. The latest annoyance is that about half the time when I plug it in the phone goes to USB Tethering instead AA and I have to change it.
Me too, Bought a pixel 6 in hopes for a more pleasant experience with android overall,but my connection to my Ford sync4 with AA has been miserable. Ford says(of course) it's not The radio. Using AA wireless and wired. So often I have complete lockups, where I shut off the truck when I get to a light so it can reboot. Occasionally it hangs if I exit AA to go to the Ford menu too.
