I thought you were supposed to bring an S8 into the cabin and if both were powered up there would be an automatic connection between the cars Android Auto and the phone. I've fiddled and fiddled with settings, linking and achieved a wireless connection, but it is not consistent requiring more fiddling the next time I get in the 2022 Bolt EUV. Phone software is level 9 & Bolt is current.

Yes. Mine seems to connect and work as advertised. Ive only had about a dozen tries so far so my experience is limited.

When you enter the car with it off and phone on does the phone connect wirelessly without any action from you?

Yes.

I mean no offense by this, but it's because you're using an S8. At this point, Android Auto's target OS is Android 12/13, so there are bound to be compatibly issue with such an old OS.

Yes, I like to stay more current, but to buy a new phone just so I can have wireless in the car? Plus I'm not convinced the problem is not some, one of many, phone or AA settings that's not right.

S22 Plus With Android 12 on order. The larger screen will be appreciated. I'll post about how it works with AA wireless.

I have an S7. It won't work like that with any car so S8 would be iffy. I'll have to get a newer phone. I'm sure the S38 will arrive by the time my car does.😏

My Galaxy S8 hooks to the car just fine. But i just started having Mychevy app issues. I dont know if its related to the older phone or not. For the last 3 days i haven't been getting charge status updates. Removed/reinstalled the app, cleared cache. No success

Same here. App shows no charging status for 3 daysl

Alright, it's not the Galaxy S8 thats the problem. I just switched to Tmobile and received a samsung S23+ and reinstalled the mychevy app with no success.

I am using an S8 in my 2022 EUV. It works great 95% of the time. Not bad for an old phone. Waze in android auto starts automatically when I start my Bolt, just like I want it to.

S8 replaced with an S22+ and the S22+ worked perfectly. When I started the Bolt and activated AA on the cars panel it immediately displayed what was active in the S22 which was a Maps route that I had used the day before. Response time was short.

FYI, On my HP laptop the Phone Link app now works where there was a link problem there with the S8.

Does music streaming automatically resume if you were previously streaming music from your phone?
