I pinned this down to being issues with connections.

My car and phone are paired on BT.

Android auto connects to USB, but still wants to keep BT for some reason.

Option 1 is to reboot car stereo and phone, then it works. Until next time/ day/drive. (nobody knows)

Option 2 works 100% of the time.

Disable BT, connect USB and hey presto!

Bt re-enables and reconnects and all is joy.
