Try this potential fix for audio stuttering on wireless Android Auto

If you’ve been dealing with annoying audio stuttering while using wireless Android Auto, you’re not alone. It’s been a headache for many, and despite Google’s recent attempts to fix it, the problem still haunts some drivers. But here’s a glimmer of hope: a potential workaround has surfaced, and it might just save your sanity on the road.

So, what’s this fix all about? A clever user stumbled upon it after weeks of trial and error. The trick is pretty simple. Go to your phone’s settings, find the location services menu, and turn off Bluetooth scanning. That’s it. No fancy tech skills needed.

For some folks, this tweak has worked like a charm. One driver with a 2024 MX-5 said it stopped the stuttering completely. Another user, Bryan, tried it and reported so far, so good.

But it’s not a guaranteed win for everyone. A Samsung S23+ owner gave it a shot and said it didn’t help at all. So, your mileage may vary. Still, it’s quick to try, and you’ve got nothing to lose.

Why might this work? It’s not totally clear, but it could be tied to how Bluetooth scanning messes with the wireless connection. Android Auto needs a steady link between your phone and car. Extra interference might be what’s causing those skips in your music or navigation prompts. At least, that’s what I could deduce.

Our previous article dove into how this glitch has been plaguing users since September, even after Google’s version 13.2 update. From spotty music to garbled phone calls, it’s been a rough ride for some.

So if it works, you’ll be back to enjoying your tunes without a hitch. If not, hang tight. Google’s probably cooking up a proper fix behind the scenes. For now, this workaround might just do the trick for some of you. So, why not try it out on your next drive? Keep us posted!
