    What is blocking my cars access to messages

    Ok, so AA is wired. I have removed app permissions on AA but the problem was still there, I could try uninstalling the updates (can't fully uninstall as it's a system app on my phone) and see what happens

    What is blocking my cars access to messages

    Thanks VidJunky, sadly I think you may be right about it being a system app causing the problem. I going to take some time to weigh up the FR verses "living with it" conundrum. If I manage to resolve it I will let you know. Thanks again to everyone for the advice

    I have the Messages app from Google LLC, it was the one that was installed on the phone when I bought it. I have cleared the cache but this makes no difference. Not tried clearing the actual stored data - I will look at getting an app to back up messages and give your suggestions a go

    What is blocking my cars access to messages

    I must admit I couldn't think of anything else but I am reluctant to go with a factory reset as that will involve potential data loss and all my backups are in Google which may be part of the problem. Guess I am between a rock and a hard place!

    What is blocking my cars access to messages

    Ok, so I tried in safe mode and have the same issue. Again if I restart the phone in the car again into safe mode) then it connects ok but if I disconnect bluetooth then try to reconnect to the car it will not allow access to messages. In safe mode all Google apps, Amazon apps (photos, Prime...

    I will give safe mode a go and see what happens. There is a toggle for text messages and it is on.

    Hi, sorry it is not an Android Auto issue, that works just fine, I just don't use it for short journeys. My issue is with the standard Bluetooth connection.

    What is blocking my cars access to messages

    It's a 2022 Hyundai Tuscon Hybrid. It has to be my phone as both my wife's XZ2 and my work Samsung connect every time without issue. My phone connected fine to previous car (Nissan Juke) but there is something that stops messages connecting unless I sit in the car and restart my phone.
