zlink dropping randomly after a minute or 2 of android auto working


  • I have an older PX6 model on android 10 for my civic, it was running max10 the last year or so and was working fine. suddenly android auto started closing and reconnected after about 10 seconds, work for a minute or 2 then drop again. i've tried pretty much everything in the forums. I forgot the bluetooth pairing, re-paired, reset network settings, checked for updates on wifi, updated to the latest vivid 10 release, with that the zlink app updated to v5.4.99. still just randomly drops. i pulled the unit out to ensure the bt/wifi antenna is secure as well. is this something that an android update on my phone caused? i have a pixel 9 pro xl running android 16.

    Hello.

    We noticed that recently many users have reported frequent Android Auto disconnection.
    This is a global bug in Google’s official version 17.2.662404, not an issue with the head unit.

    Symptoms: 
    Randomly dropping out every few seconds to minutes, especially when playing music.

    Affected: 
    All phone brands(Samsung, Pixel, etc.).

    Quick Fix(roll back to stable 17.0):
    1. Open Google Play Store → Android Auto
    2. Leave the Beta program
    3. Tap ⋮ (top right) → Uninstall updates(reverts to 17.0)
    4. Disable Auto-update for Android Auto until Google patches it.
