In this guide, we will show you a nifty workaround that should help you fix the audio stuttering issue on the wireless Android Auto. The ability to mirror features of a smartphone on a car’s dashboard information and/or entertainment head unit has always been marred with issues. The latest one to make its presence felt is the automatic song skipping while using Bluetooth and a navigation app like Google Maps or Waze. For many, the issue first came to light after installing the latest update.
So the obvious fix would have been to roll back to the earlier version, which they did, but unfortunately, to no avail. Likewise, they also tried deleting the phone and stereo from their car and phone, but again, that didn’t work out for them. Re-establishing the connections also yielded the same result. As far as the Bluetooth and the wired modes are concerned, both of them are working along the expected lines, the issue is only with the wireless one.
Another infuriating thing to note is that the issue was first reported in the month of September last year and Google did release a fix a couple if months later. However, the issue has reappeared within a few months, so the ‘fix’ seemed to just act as a temporary bandage over the problem. With that said, if you are also getting bugged with it, then this guide will help you rectify it. Follow along.
