I gave up on wireless Android Auto because the convenience isn’t worth the headache - XDA

Cutting cords in the car sounds wonderful until your music stutters and your navigation freezes at a critical turn. Wireless car systems rely on a mix of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to talk to your phone. When that link falters, it creates the same annoying lag you feel with weak home Wi-Fi, only it happens while you are trying to drive safely.
If your dashboard display keeps freezing or dropping out, check how warm your phone is, as overheating quickly kills the wireless link. You can also delete your phone from the car system and pair it fresh to clear out digital glitches. If the drops keep happening, keep a good USB cable in your console. Plugging directly into the car port eliminates wireless interference completely, stops audio delay, and keeps your battery full.
Wireless convenience is great, but rock-solid navigation on the road is always worth plugging in for.
