I thought for sure this was going to be about the no sound issue in Android Auto. So far, AA fires up when I connect with the USB cable.

On this last trip, if I initiated or answered a call while the phone was connected to the truck with the USB plug, I couldn't hear the other person and they couldn't hear me. I think I fixed that one by connecting the phone with the cable and then going to Settings>phone>set phone ringtone>use phone ringtone.

Android Auto sure is buggy.

Don't say that here ! Android auto is the best thing in the world and therefore can't have bug , it is perfect , far superior than the onboard GPS

I came close to just using the on-board nav this past week. I thought I had downloaded Google maps on my phone, knowing ahead of time that cell service was non-existent where I was going. But it still said there was no map to display.

Mine also has no sound on either my truck or expy. To get navigation prompts I have to select Android auto as a media input in source, then the is no radio or other music. On Waze I had to go in a select "play through phone speaker" to hear prompts.

thats just google voice commands (if yiu ask google to do something), not the navigation prompts, Neither Waze nor Google maps works, I am trying to find out if its a Android auto problem, or a Samsung Android update problem. And if I stream music through my phone, I als need to select android auto as my media player first.
