[Android Central Question]

JUST picked this phone up yesterday. Love the speed and certain things, but it will NOT connect to my car. I have tried everything. Really, Samsung??? Most basic functionality should work! Also, Smart Lock won't work. Seems like this phone is a half-baked idea. NEED AN UPDATE SAMSUNG. NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE IN THE CAR!!!!!

Welcome to Android Central! Which car, and what model year is it? Are you using the factory-installed stereo or an aftermarket? If it's an older car or system, it might have compatibility issues with newer devices -- so it could be an issue with your car, not with Samsung.

Which Smart Lock method are you using? Trusted Place? If so, do you have Location set to High Accuracy or Battery Saving? The latter often won't locate you precisely enough for Trusted Place to work reliably.

Have you visited the car dealership and had them check for updated firmware for your car's head unit?
