Android auto question

Hi ive set this up in my wife's fiesta mk8, using a WiFi dongle. She used it this morning for a short while and it worked fine, but when she got back in the car is wouldn't re-initialise, is there some setting to do a reset? The phone is a old s9. I have said to try it tomorrow, and if that doesn't work use a cable and see if it's still an issue but obviously wireless is easier.

Get this on a Vitara and S10, haven't found a fix in 3 years!

Is it just intermittent?

I've got my Mrs a pixel Pro for Xmas, so I'll see how that fairs. In the meantime, I'm off tomorrow so I'll test it when we go out to drop the kids off.

Might give it a go. Seems to only connect when the phone screen us turned on then after that it's fine.

So a quick update, As far as I can tell it needs reconnecting each time the car is started (I'm wondering if this is normal, as it would usually be with a cable anyway). she seems happy with it, and my plan is to have the WiFi adapter in the front USB port so she can just whip it out quick (generally keeps her phone in her bag so this is easier). As I only have student spotify, we did have a fight between our 2 cars earlier :cry:
