android auto audio skipping

[MaxPatlick]

The issue comes and goes, but today it was totally unbearable. While listening to music the audio will pause for a moment then continue. Really jarring to be singing along to a song when the beat isn't consistent.

It's normally not too bad but today it was absolutely abysmal to the point where I just had to stop listening through android auto and switch to bluetooth audio which played without a hitch. I tried restarting my phone, and restarting sync with the steering wheel buttons, but the issue persisted until I switched to bluetooth.

Could it possibly be related to an OTA download/install happening in the background? Right after I pulled into work I got a notification that powerup had upgraded to 4.2.2. I know AA uses wifi to connect to the phone, but it would be a different radio that's downloading the update, right?

update after the ride home.. definitely fewer skips. Could've been the update itself fixed it, or possibly my theory about the update/download interfering.

Hi Max. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this for you.

Do you still have the problem or did it go away after the download? When did it start?

It went away after the update, but then when I pulled into work this morning another update to 4.2.3 installed and I didn't notice any skipping at all on the drive this morning, so there goes my download interference theory ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
