I have the same problem and wish there was a solution. I update Android Auto every time there is a new update but continue to have the same problem. It will just disconnect randomly... maybe. :oops:

For example, I have noticed that every time I drive through a certain spot, it will disconnect. So it seems to be related to a cell dead spot. But that doesn't make sense to me because the WiFi connection between my cell phone and my Bronco should have nothing to do with my cell service. Furthermore, I download my maps for offline navigation and Wireless Android Auto works great even when I'm far from cell service. I am still troubleshooting but very confused why it randomly disconnects but also disconnects in the same spot every time.

I've noticed there's a certain spot like that here in Lexington. Redmile close to the Broadway intersection where it does exactly what you describe. My credit union is in that area so I'm there quite often and just like clockwork it happens at the same spot everytime I approach it. I've come to expect it. This happened on wireless Android Auto and wireless CarPlay. I say it just some kind of interference as we all live in a vast sea of radio waves. Cell service is definatly not an issue in this location. Its smack dab right in the middle of metro Lexington with a ton of private student housing for UK.

I have the same issue with 2 spots around my town. There appears to be something drowning out the wifi at those 2 points which causes android auto to disconnect.

I am also having this issue. Using a Pixel 7, both my wife in her Bronco Badlands and my Pixel 7 in my Raptor lose Android Auto (wirelessly) in the exact same spot on the freeway going in either direction. While the phone is still connected and can be used, Android Auto just shits down. After I pass this location, if I toggle off and on the Bluetooth button on the phone it connects back. Unfortunately, I have to drive by this location multiple times a day.

Anyone else having issues with Wireless Android Auto disconnecting? Sometimes it will connect back on its own but other times it won't reconnect with out turning the truck off then back on. I thought I had read where it was an issue but I could not find the post.
Having the same issue with my 22 Bronco 12 inch screen. Samsung S21 5G
