I’ve been getting random disconnects with Android Auto lately. Noticed it happens more when my phone is in the passenger seat instead of the center console cubby. Could the distance or angle from the head unit actually cause this? Wondering if anyone else found a sweet spot for where they put the phone.
I’ve had the same thing happen with my phone in the passenger seat, but honestly it could just be the cable getting jostled at a bad angle. Hard to say if it’s the distance or just bad luck with interference.
Huh, I never really thought about phone position causing it. I usually just toss mine in the cup holder and it’s been fine for me, so maybe it’s just a cable thing like you said? Hard to tell sometimes lol.
Never really thought about it that much. I usually just leave my phone in my pocket or toss it on the passenger seat and it works fine for me. Might just be the cable acting up like others said.
Honestly never thought about phone position causing it. I just leave mine in the cup holder or my bag and it’s been fine. Maybe the cable is getting bent weird in the passenger seat.
I can see how that might happen, especially if the cable is getting bent or pulled at a weird angle. I just leave mine on the passenger seat and haven’t noticed any issues, but I use a pretty short cable so maybe that helps.
I usually just leave my phone on the passenger seat and haven’t noticed any difference, so maybe it’s more about the cable or the head unit itself. Works fine for me either way.
Interesting point about the position. I’ve noticed mine acts up more when I set it on the passenger seat too, but I always blamed the heat from the sun or something.
I’ve noticed the same thing actually. Passenger seat seems worse for me too, but I never really figured out if it’s the angle or just bad luck.
Huh, that’s interesting. I’ve never really noticed a difference with mine, I usually just toss it in the cupholder or leave it in my bag and it’s been pretty stable. Maybe it’s more about the cable getting jostled than the actual position, but I could be wrong.
I’d probably just try keeping it in the center console for a week and see if it makes a difference for you.
I just keep mine in the cupholder most of the time and haven’t really had issues with it cutting out. Could be the cable more than the spot you pick, but I never tested it that hard.
I mean, I wouldn’t overthink it. Could just be the angle messing with the cable connection more than anything else.
I think people overthink this one. I just leave mine in my pocket or toss it on the passenger seat and it works fine most of the time. Maybe your cable is just loose or going bad.
Huh, I never really thought about phone position causing it. Maybe it’s just the cable getting bumped or something.
I’ve had the same thing happen and honestly it’s probably just the cable getting bent or pulled at a weird angle when you move the phone around. I just keep mine in the cup holder and haven’t bothered testing other spots to be honest.
