after getting the problem mentioned here in this post of getting phone connection message on the instrument cluster (never seen this before) and not knowing how to get it back to usual display fuel average consumption etc... It has made me
re-think the Wireless Android Auto problem.
Having got some time to sit and mess with this '
once working' wireless connection I sat in the garage today just to see if I could wake this thing up properly.. It always (pic above) connected the phone to the multimedia unit without any intervention from me at all, but stopped recently and the only thing on the Multimedia display was the phone's top line. Signal strength, batt level time etc.
Anyway .. I'm sat in the seat just looking at the display and notice a settings cog.. bottom right... only two things on the Menu.. top one was Use
or Do Not VW apps.. can't remember now. Anyway in desperation of not seeing anything else to try, I took the tick off (thinking I can always put the tick back) and immediately up pops the Android map screen on the display. Amazed and sceptical i turned everything off (display, ignition, phone data and Bluetooth) and back on again.. it worked wirelessly again and a third and fourth time... it hasn't worked at all for a few months now so it is '
some' coincidence.
I can't replicate the problem by ticking that menu item because it is
no longer on show.. Drat! All I can say is that .. for now.. it works ok wirelessly again. I didn't tick this menu option in the past as i have never seen it and have no idea why it had any effect today.. just that it works ok now.. till something else changes with AA
