Sometimes when you skip a track on Spotify (through Android Auto), the sound would suddently stop working and eventually the infotainment system or Android Auto would crash/reboot after a few minutes of silence. It seems specific to MIB2 based system of VW group cars (vw/audi/skoda/seat). I've outlined the problem here on Spotify's forum: https://community.spotify.com/t5/On...ound-stops-playing-after-awhile/idi-p/1296063
If this has happened to you, then there is a possible workaround that could work:
- Enable Developer Mode
- Turn ON "Agressive Wi-Fi to mobile handover"
- Turn ON "Mobile data always active"
- Change "Select USB Configuration" to something other than "Charging" (I used MTP: media transfer protocal)
Please note that to properly test for this issue, you need to be driving the car around (not let it stay in one place or in your garage). The reason is that the problem seems to occur if you've skipped a track during the handoff between Mobile Data and Wifi. This is why this issue seems so random.Sometimes the problem may happen on the 2nd song skip, sometimes the 10th, or the 20th, etc..
