I had this problem with my Pixel 2 XL, but it stopped happening when I let it connect to Bluetooth first, then plugged in the USB cord. If I plugged USB in first before the Bluetooth connection, same issue as you.
I do this as well, if I just plug it in before turning on the ignition or waiting for it to connect via Bluetooth it will disconnect my S3 watch, I see this is a common problem with AA though.
Always best to wait until its connected via Bluetooth and then plug it in to usb and unplug before you turn the car off.
Never had an issue if I follow this rule of thumb.
This update worked for me as well! I have the same unit described by Simba92.
It looks like the wetransfer link is dead now, but I have uploaded it myself, hopefully it stays up. Follow the instructions above.

I should point out, I stupidly reloaded 5314 from my headunit when I had 5515 and C210. I had the echo issue which was super annoying, i figured downgrading would fix it and it actually did fix the echo issue.
However the BT bug of connecting and disconnecting was still an issue with C210.

random question. i have a 187b desay model w/ SW 0317. Speed dependent volume control doesn't seem to be working. Tried all settings from 0 to 5, but i don't think the unit's volume changes at all with car speed. am i alone on this? Not a biggie, i thought i'd ask.
Hi Freegolf, you mean my firmware is not for the 210? Does anyone have the right firmware for my unit?
I have the same problem and same C210 bluetooth module. Which firmware did you install that solved it? I could give it a try...
Did Android Auto work well after the update? If the only problem is re-connecting the phone every time I can live with that, but the echo is a no-go
Hi greenhornet, as you can probably see from my previous posts, I have a terrible echo on my unit:
187B
Hardware 534
Software 5515
Bluetooth C210
Apple Carplay 210.81
Android Auto 1.3.0
Someone suggested it could be a conflict on the firmware, which I believe too as the audio is good, it just feeds back the speakers to the microphone all the time.
Would your firmware work with my unit, despite the bluetooth module being C210 instead of C180?
Are you aware of the echo issue and a firmware for the unit?
Cheers
Alex
Just checked mine and the balance was set to the centre of the car so no, not fixed forward

Hi Alex,
I'm not familiar with software version 5515 so I'm not clued up on the issues with it. If you'd like to try the 5314 software then let me know - i'm still using it daily with no bugs.
Bluetooth C210 will likely be a software update, not hardware. Therefore I see no prob with your unit using the 5314 firmware.
Does anyone know what additional features C210 brings?
softbarnd is updating C210
bluetooth c210 you can control music and siri different level volum
c210 have 4 different way volume..
*music volume
*phone volume
*maps volume
*siri volume
c180 bluetoth only you can control siri and music volume same way if siri higt volume then music higt to.. But c210 you can adjuste siri higt volume music low volume, from aliexpress one seller said
Ever since I downgraded back to C180 5314 the echo stopped. The issues with connecting the Bluetooth is the same in C180 vs C210. I was curious if the 187E or 187C radio fixes that particular issue.
