I hate that the "safety feature" does not allow you to connect or manage the blue tooth connection while moving but you can do anything you want while hard wired. What a stupid restriction that is.

After two days of hope post clearing cache AA is back to its old self. Locked up this morning for no apparent reason, was not doing anything with it other than starting and stopping the vehicle. The replies from this thread show fairly clearly that this is not related to a particular phone and OS version. Unfortunately I did not ask for information on screen size early enough so can't draw conclusions there.
Is there a y cache flushing/reset that can be done on the vehicle side other than the head unit reset (which I have done dozens of times)?

22 BD small screen, Pixel 7....occasionally AA will just disconnect (BT) and I have to plug it in. Once I unplug it, it's out again until vehicle restarts. I figure a bug that should get fixed somewhere along the way. Fortunately, doesn't happen much.

No issues for me, works great. I have a 23 OBX with lux. My phone is a pixel 6 running android 14
I've had no issues at all with my Android Auto. I've got a Galaxy Z Flip 5 running Android 14 beta on the 8" screen. I'm also using Adguard in private DNS and don't have to disable it before doing wireless AA
Had my Bronco for 2+years and didn't have issues until about 3 months ago. It's getting worse. Disconnects constantly and won't reconnect. All software on phone and bronco are up to date. 8" screen and galaxy s10
'23 Badlands SAS High.
Works like a charm every time but I don't try to do it wireless. Make sure to keep it and whatever apps you use with it updated on your phone. Seems to matter for me.

Seems more so recently issues have started for me. S23 phone and my output audio will drop but stay connected on a call (they can here me, but I hear nothing). I have to turn the Bluetooth on and off (from the phone) to get it to start working again.

The only way I've been able to make it work as expected is to completely remove the FordPass app from my phone.
Have had the dealer look at the issue to no avail, then one day I got frustrated and started diagnosing by removing possible conflicts and that pretty much solved 99% of all android auto weirdness, wireless or plugged.

Interesting. Just disabled it let me see how it does.
I never really had any issues with my '22 Lux connecting to my OnePlus 9 Pro running Android 11 with wired USB. I didn't use wireless AA with that phone. Got a new Nothing Phone 2 running Android 13 and everything works except I have no audio in phone calls. Wired and wireless are both broken. I've tried all fixes I could find online including changing the Bluetooth connection ringtone. Will be eagerly awaiting a Sync 4 update and further updates for my phone.

I have recently forced AA to use only wireless connection, ran a 10ft USBC from the center console to the left grab bar (which is where my phone lives). Getting Qi fast charging now and AA is somewhat better behaved. Still freezes a couple of times per week but at least it is not a couple of times a day.
Can't believe that @Ford Motor Company found it unnecessary to provide USB ports capable of fast charging on a 2021 design.

After coming across a random suggestion on another Ford vehicle forum (Mustang E/F-150/Maverick whatever it was) I DELETED THE FORDPASS APP and my Android Auto now works fully as intended. Incoming and outgoing call audio is heard both directions, via wired or wireless. Bluetooth to Sync connection is set to Use Phone's Ringtone, for what that's worth. My FordPass app was version 4.31.1, Android Auto version 10.9.634644.
