Latest update completely broke Bluetooth connection to my car, very occasionally auto connects but always connects "calls" but never audio, I have to manually toggle it on and off every time to make it work, this was not an issue with the previous version. Quite disappointed with having to deal with this.

Same issue here with a Samsung Flip 6 Bluetooth connection to my 2010 Acura. Since the "Android update to 16.0 and One UI 8.0" it connects to calls but not to audio without toggling the Bluetooth audio to the on position.  My wife's S24 has the exact same problem.  My old S9 connects just fine.  I've tried all of the suggested "fixes" except for the reset to factory settings.  I don't believe that the reset to factory settings will fix the problem since everything was fine until this latest update.

Im also having issues with Blutooth since the Android 16 update.

Car is a 2022 corsa ultimate.

Done network reset, cleared andriod auto cache, unpaired and repaired, restarted both phone and infotainment system.

Happening to me as well. Before the 16 update the bluetooth audio and call automatically connected even when I'm in the house but now even after I get in the car I have to toggle the audio option from settings many times till it finally catches up. From what I read in the thread its mostly Mitsubishi Head units having this issue after the update and I got a 2017 mitsubishi Outlander with basic head unit and a s23 ultra. Even my friend with a 24 Ultra and a 2017 Honda accord with carplay is facing the same issue. Hopefully it gets a fix soon because it takes a good 5-10 mins before starting the drive to fix this through toggling Audio button many times.

I have the same issue with A55 and car Citroen C4 Aircross (disguised Mitsubishi ASX) 2015. It is very frustrating, because before podcasts would start every time I started driving. Now, if I want to listen podcasts, I have to wait for everything to start, and then fix audio connection, as it does not start by itself.
