My son has a Samsung A50, when he connects to his android auto via a cable, the sub stops working, however it works fine when using bluetooth. Any ideas?
Is the subwoofer part of the factory-installed system, or is this all aftermarket?
Sounds like bad head unit , what about other things plugged into the usb port of the unit ?
Have you checked the bass output on the main speakers? If you have any crossovers set, you'll need to disable them first. When an aux jack gets dirty, it's common for the bass notes to drop out. Checking the bass on the main speakers would help determine if it's really the sub going out, or something further up the line, possibly to the phone itself.
If the subs are hooked up properly, they run in mono anyway because bass is omnidirectional and you don't need stereo separation. I love Crutchfield, but that answer makes no sense. I don't use Android Auto, but I'd still look into cleaning the USB port. I know many phones output an analog audio signal via USB-C, so could still be debris in it messing it up.Android Auto works with a USB port, I chatted with Crutchfield support, they suspect his phone could be set to mono, I'll check that when he gets home. It worked fine with my phone.

Glad to hear thatMust have been a dirty port, I blew it out and it works now, thanks for the help guys.
