Hey, when I bought my 18 EX a couple of months ago I noticed my S8+ USB port was dead so I got myself a brand new replacement S10+ that has a fully functional USB. I used Android Auto for a bit, familiarizing myself with it and customizing some things. Now we are planning a big trip with the Civic and I was messing w/ AA and it would NOT recognize my phone where it had previously. I first made sure the phone was set to "Enable" in the Honda System settings and cleared the cache on my phone but that didnt work. I did a hard reboot of both the HU and the phone, no change. I then deleted the phone from the Civic and attempted to re-add. All I would get is the blue banner at the bottom of the screen that says "no device connected" but the phone was getting power. I tried the factory Samsung cable, no change so I started doing what every good IT person does, Google'd it. There I found others who had similar issues and were solved by many numerous combinations of things I had already tried.
Well, I was messing w/ it again in a parking lot waiting for something and decided to tinker with the USB settings on the phone. When the phone is connected to the USB cable I get an option to change USB connection settings on the phone. I decided to start trying things. It was defaulted to "File Transfer/AA" I assume AA means Android Auto. Well I tried "Image Transfer" and miracle of miracles it works. When I select Image Transfer the little blue selector dot actually goes away completely and it makes it appear as though nothing is selected in the USB settings on the phone. Now EVERYTIME I hook up my phone I have to change it to "Image Transfer" to get AA to work. Works perfectly until I disconnect, but once I make the USB change it works again. Anybody have any ideas what might be up w/ my phone and/or HU? It's not a huge deal, but kinda annoying.
