Android Auto with new Samsung

Hi

I have XC40 2020, and recently I changed my phone to newer Samsung.
Unfortunately, when I connect a cable, the car doesn't see it.
Older phone still works.

I wondered what it could be?

Re: Infotainment system is atrocious

Yes, it is bit monochrome, but I actually like it this way :)

Regarding radio - I agree, it could display the info
Also, sound quality from radio is not great. Frankly, I mostly use Spotify, which just got an upgrade after 2 years +

Thought Sensus was dead, but out of the blue got the message about new version!!

Re: Spotify app not launching

What I do, and it usually helps, I switch temporarily to other source, for example TuneIn There is something broken in Spotify app (the native one, not the real on the phone that is updated constantly) related to communications.

2000 miles or 20,000 miles will not improve its fuel consumption. Absolute rubbish. Proven many times already by owners who have posted on here. XC40 drinks fuel in the city. I prefer taking wife's Mini Cooper sometimes and even walking. Do you think 12L per 100km you can consider fuel-efficient? :...
