Android Auto User Switches to Wireless After 2 Phones Suffer Cable Dropouts

Summary
Repeated cable disconnects while driving pushed one Android Auto user to abandon wired use, after the connection kept dropping on bumps and corners.
The problem appeared across 2 phones, suggesting the issue was not limited to a single device but to an unreliable wired setup in that car.
A wireless adapter still misfires at startup and can require restarting the car or phone, but its failures usually happen before driving rather than mid-journey.
That trade-off made wireless preferable because, once connected, it stayed stable in this user’s experience, with no drops, stutters, freezes or overheating reported.
