Android Auto and Pixel 3

[Charlie in London]

Blimey, phones and cars don't mix on many levels.

I've just got a Pixel 3 and am trying to use it in my A4 B9. I have used Android Auto with a wire and unsuccessfully with Bluetooth (except for making phone calls via the car's own interface). Now I am completely stuck.

I plug in the phone and try to start the car's screen and the phone but the connection between car and phone is lost after a few seconds.

Is Android Auto supposed to work wireless and has anyone else had a Pixel 3 problem?

No, Android Auto (and Apple CarPlay) don't work wirelessly. It only works via USB

Although Car Play works wirelessly on BMW's as they've an exclusive licence, which owners have to pay a subscription for.
