    I just picked up a '23 SR5 Premium. I connect my phone to use Spotify and Waze. Connects fine, then keeps disconnecting and connecting every 15 seconds or so. I tried several different USB wires, ones that work in my other vehicles with no problem. Can't be my phone because that also works fine in my other vehicles. Suggestions?

    Did you turn off Bluetooth on your phone when you hooked up the USB?

    It's worth a try. The Bluetooth audio connection may be superseding the Android Auto, especially if you haven't configured the latter or enabled it on your phone.

    OK, I misunderstood. You're suggesting I SHOULD turn off my bluetooth phone connection?

    Yes, at least as a test. It may not be the issue, but it's something you can eliminate as a possibility.

    I appreciate the suggestion. I'll give it a try.
