BHPian RashmiRathi<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Dear All,<\/p>\n I stay in Thane. I have discovered that whenever I drive through this particular 100m stretch of road, my Android Auto connected to my Tata Safari through bluetooth gets disconnected for a moment. After passing this stretch it gets connected automatically. This has happened multiple times during various parts of the day.<\/p>\n Otherwise, Android Auto is working very good and there is no disconnection problem.<\/p>\n This strange phenomenon baffles me completely.<\/p>\n Can any auto experts or electronic experts in this forum throw light on this .<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian Kosfactor<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n Android Auto relies on WIFI once the connection is established through bluetooth from what I have seen the phone does. So if your phone finds a known WIFI network in that area it may disconnect from your car and connect to that one – that is one possibility. Other than that it could be some sort of radio freq interference in that area like some places where your keyless entry systems stop working etc.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian tilt<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n This reminds me of the following complaint to Pontiac:<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the second time I have written you, and I don\u2019t blame you for not answering me, because I kind of sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of ice cream for dessert after dinner each night. But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we\u2019ve eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It\u2019s also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem.<\/p>\n You see, every time I buy vanilla ice-cream when I start back from the store my car won\u2019t start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I\u2019m serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds: \u2018What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?\u201d<\/p>\n BTW, the “problem” was solved<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian hrman<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n Probably some form of radio frequency interference. I face this in my KIA Sonet, whenever I pass through a particular stretch near South India mall on BG road, Bangalore. I incidentally changed my phone (not due to this and the new phone also disconnects from wireless android auto at the same stretch.<\/p>\n To circumvent this, I now connect it through wired AA, since this happens in my daily office commute. Losing the music or calls while driving is a bit irritating.<\/p>\n Not a solution to your issue but you are not alone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian speedmeister<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n This is due to interference in the 5GHZ spectrum, happens in almost all wireless android auto systems. Try connecting to 2.4GHZ spectrum if you have that option.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n\n
