Hi there,
I got a 75-reg (2025 made) Leon ST Mk4 and is a happy user of the Wireless Android Auto, able to make phone conversations, import phone contacts, using Google map navigation and listening to Spotify, etc.
But once in a while, say once every 10 times switching on the engine (i.e. at starts of my journeys, happens in both cold and warm engine starts), the Wireless Android Auto may get "stucked" and refuses to connect to Google map and Spotify, and the car also refuses to let me "delete" my mobile phone from the "My Link" settings.
I have to switch off the engine + leave and lock the car + walk away for ~5 metres + restarting my mobile phone + wait for 5 mins and retry the whole process, before it goes back to normal service.
The "exact" same issue also happened a few times when I rent a Golf Mk8.5 in October 2025 in Scotland. The console and the software/ UI was very much the same as my Leon.
I first thought it is something to do with my mobile phone (Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra), but as both my Leon and the rented Golf refuse to let me delete the mobile device from "My Link" leads me to suspect the connection issue may be from the cars' consoles instead.
(I have not tried USB connection, as I cannot get it connected for data even with my USB 3.2 Gen2 cables for my SSD harddisks)
Any advice please? Thanks in advance.
