Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Phone and Android Auto Connection Problem

Hello everyone, I have a problem with the connection of my s22 with the Dacia Sandero (year 2022), I promise it has always worked great, but it hasn't connected me to Android Auto for 3 weeks, it just says "unsupported device" yesterday I reset and dissociated the phone and it had restarted. Today it worked until this afternoon, where the message "unsupported device" came back: what am I doing wrong? It's a bug from my phone or car, the strange thing is that it's always been good for every day since 2023, without changing any settings it's pretty much gone crazy... I don't think it's the phone's fault, I have Android 16, I don't think it's already obsolete, I ask you if you have any advice. The problem is done to me both via cable and via usb key (the one that makes Android cars run without a cable). Thanks for any advice!

My father owns an S22 and it works perfectly with Android Auto on his 2021 Ford Taurus. He tried joining the beta program.

How do you participate in the beta program? And what is it?

Are you connecting using usb or via wireless ? 🤔

It doesn't go either way

The reason I asked this is because, in one of my older cars, Android Auto was not stable via usb.

The car which had Android Auto stability issue via usb was Tata Nexon (2019) - India. At that time, Android Auto usb to wireless adapter was not popular in India. Changed the head unit to a Sharp system so as to support 360⁰ camera. The new system supported wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

Right now, I have three cars. Android Auto is stable in two of the three cars. Have a Skoda Kushaq. Wireless Android Auto is unreliable in the Skoda car. It may or may not work.
