Hi all,
I got a Pixel 2 last weekend, and had been using it to connect to Android Auto without issue until last night. As I was leaving the grocery store last night, I got some error - something to the effect of "this device needs to be updated?" I just instinctively cleared it because everything was working correctly and I was driving, didn't think much of it. This is not how I usually do things, I promise! Anyway, now Android Auto isn't working anymore. It just doesn't recognize the phone when I plug it in. The USB Cable still charges the phone but that's it. Nothing else happens.
First thing I tried was re-syncing everything via Bluetooth. This didn't work. I tried enabling and disabling Android Auto from the home screen, this did not work. Thinking this would help, I went back into Sync's home screen and "Deleted" the Pixel 2 XL from the menu (the menu goes Enable / Disable / Delete), then unpaired and re-paired everything via Bluetooth. Still nothing. Even when I open the Android Auto app with my phone, nothing happens other than the phone charging. It connects to Bluetooth no problem but I can't get it to show back up in the menu to connect Android Auto.
Any thoughts?
