    I have a 2024 Limited with JBL. I cancelled SiriusXM since I had it in another car and my phone. I use wireless Android Auto to get SXM in my Prius. Most of the time I start up the car, it connects to AA on my phone, and SXM plays automatically. Sometimes my Prius fails to connect to AA on my phone no matter how long I wait. To get it to work I have to go into settings and manually connect Bluetooth which shows disconnected. Once I click the Connect button, it connects, AA starts and SXM plays. Any idea why this happens and what I can do to fix it?

    I have no idea what I'm talking about...
    But...is AA connected wirelessly?
    I THINK I've read that WiFi gets involved with that.
    Maybe a WiFi conflict?

    I don't use wireless Apple CarPlay currently but I remember this happening with the iPhone too. Is your phone awake and unlocked when you start the car? Is your Toyota app open and are you logged in? I have vague memories of one of these circumstances being required for the iPhone to reliably wirelessly connect to the car when it was powered on.
