2020 Gladiator Rubicon with Uconnect 8.4 (Software version 20.04.19, Application Version USA-ASO-8.4-JR-34.2.0-20200123-J0M2)
Just switched back from Apple to Android and Android Auto on my phone is giving me a red screen on my new Pixel 6a with communication error 8. My head unit says "There was a connection error with your Android Auto device." I've tried the following possible fixes found online and in this forum:
1. Used multiple cables and usb ports in the Gladiator
2. Different phones. My co-workers Galaxy S22 gets the same error.
3. Changing time setting from syncing with GPS to not syncing. Setting time manually.
4. Fuse pull, 97 and 11. Left out for 20 minutes.
5. Updating AA and Google Play services on phone.
6. Checked Uconnect site for update based on VIN, no updates available. Based on the software version numbers it seems hard to believe that there have been no updates in 2.5 years.
7. Tested Pixel 6a in wife's Vette and AA works fine.
Nothing seems to work. I'm over 44k miles so it is out of factory warranty.
Any suggestions?
