OK so....
After racking my brains over this for about a year I can conclusively say that, at this current point in time, with the latest Software running on the T6.1 Nav Discover Media Head unit...
Wireless Android Auto is ENTIRELY down to the phone.
Yesterday me and my lovely lady jumped in the Van for a day trip down to Devon. I went to plug in my 2019 Android as per usual, when all of a sudden the van is only to happy to connect completely wirelessly to her brand spanking new 2023 Samsung
She was connected in a flash, before I could even plug mine in and connect. Was all through Bluetooth and worked perfectly the entirety of the drive. Something I have been attempting (and failing to do for months)
The only slight difference I could notice in the wireless connection was that Google maps had slightly less definition to it. Like it was running at 720 not 1080. More than likely something to do with the data transfer limit over Bluetooth.
SOLVED!... Sort of
Although it doesn't answer the question why my older phone doesn't work?? Surely the Bluetooth hardware is the same? And my handset is perfectly happy to run AA via a USB cable...
Is it really a ploy to make us all buy new phones?
So maybe not as solved as I thought. Although at least I don't feel like I'm going a crazy as I once did!
