After unhooking battery car won't start first button push

Abadrs · 03-26-2018, 01:31 AM

Not a huge problem but, I've all of a sudden lost my USB ports ability to charge my phone. Again not a giant problem, it's a Samsung S7 and I'm pretty sure when I got the car a few months ago they worked. I don't have android auto installed yet but was wanting to charge phone. I read on this forum where it's happened before and sounds like unhooking the negative cable for a while seems to fix it.. Except for mine lol. After hooking negative cable up car tries to start for a millisecond then stops. Second push it starts. Happened both times I unhooked battery, what gives? Seems strange

First try a different phone and ESPECIALLY a different cable, you could just have a bad cable, do this even if it works on your wall charger. If that fails.. its dealer time.

Yea I've tried two Samsung cables. Both good. Like I said taking it to dealer anyway soon to get Android auto loaded. I've read that it's a free update?

Normal, it starts on 2nd button push.

just to clarify, it starts on second push only for first start?

You install Android Auto on the phone from the Play Store. That's it. For starting the car, if I quick tap the push button, it won't start. I have to hold it in a little and by little I mean like 1 extra second or so. That's normal. If you're hearing it turn over and not starting, well...that's probably a dealer visit, but I'd check over all the electrical connections first.

Yes. After initially taking two button pushes to start first time only. From then on it starts normal. No issues it's just the first start attempt after cable is hooked back up.

Early 2016 models doesn't have Android Auto loaded from factory, only Apple Car Play is loaded. You have to go to the dealer and have them update the software. I had to it. We 2016'ers also have native Pandora App installed, so no need to plug in you phone to get Pandora with all the controls.

Ah, new firmware update needed. Makes sense. Was never a Pandora user. I'm an mp3 playlist type listener. I need a play around with the head unit some more.
