I used to have this problem maybe 0-2 times on a 2 hour drive, now I'm getting it 20-30 times in the same time span.
  1. Media playback from my android auto keeps pausing
  2. It doesn't stagger, just pauses as if someone pressed pause
  3. I reset sync and my phone, doesn't help
  4. Same problem on multiple apps (I tried pocket cast as well as pandora)
  5. Pauses are different intervals (sometimes 2 times within 2 minutes, sometimes goes 30 minutes without any pause)
  6. No issue starting back up, I press play and it goes fine until the next random pause
  7. No alerts or notifications are popping up on my phone (i.e. it's not pausing because I'm getting a text)
  8. Cell phone has good reception, plus the podcasts are actually pre-downloaded
Any ideas?

Same thing for me, would love to know if anyone has a fix for this

Not sure if this is it, but next time this happens try un-pausing through the Android Auto interface or via your phone's lock screen instead of using the vehicle's audio power on/off button.

Does this issue only occur when you are using navigation at the same time?

I've had my setup pause on me too but I feel like this has only happened a few times in total in almost two years of ownership.

Nope I've done that before as well

This happens to me all the time. It's really annoying

Anyone with these issues also had any issue with the usb or usb c in front center console charging? I had a fault code this morning that usb device wasn't connected properly and all I had in were charging cables that didn't get unplugged. Neither one was charging, but luckily the wireless charging pad was working.
