I've found the connection can be quite finicky.

Is your bluetooth connecting?

Have you downloaded and installed andriod auto on your phone?

Start by plugging the phone in using the cable. Then turn on the ignition but don't start the engine. Your phone should switch to Android Auto mode. The bluetooth should connect to your phone first, and show that it's connected in the phone window (top right). Then you should see the android auto icon in the connection window (bottom right).

Does this all happen?

That's odd, my phone charges from the usb port ok. Only problems I've experienced are :

1.the stereo not seeing the phone if I leave it connected when turning the car off and then starting it again, although I've not had the problem in a while.

2. The stereo not recognising my phone at all after an Android software update, I had to remove the details from phone and car and start again.

Mine charges fine, Andy, albeit, it seems a wee bit slow to do so.

I have found that if I connect my phone via cable before starting the ignition the radio won't recognise the phone, but if I start the ignition and give it time for the system to settle then connect the cable it recognises it straight away.

In an hours journey, the USB slot gives me 12% charge. The power socket gives 50% charge for the same journey.

I have tried the suggestions on the forum but nothing works, oh well back to the sat nav until they introduce Google Assistant in cars.
