Created by Punit Kanwar, Modified on Fri, 29 Aug at 4:42 PM by Punit Kanwar

Question: What should I do if the dongle doesn’t connect or drops connection?

Answer:

  • Wait — the dongle will try reconnecting automatically.

  • If not:

    • Manually reconnect via phone’s Bluetooth/Wi-Fi settings.

    • For Android Auto first-time setup: connect via USB cable once to activate.

    • Update Android Auto app in Google Play Store.

    • Clear Bluetooth cache in phone settings if problems persist.

    • Restart both dongle and phone, then pair again.
