Hi PennyCoin,

Since your Galaxy S22 connects to Android Auto but shows a blank screen, it could be a permission issue. Please try the following settings and see if it works.

Grant Necessary Permissions on your phone, go to: Settings > Apps > Android Auto. Tap Permissions. Ensure all necessary permissions are allowed (Location, Phone, SMS, Notifications, Media, etc.)

Enable Android Auto on Your Car’s System: Check your car’s settings to make sure Android Auto is enabled. Some cars require manually enabling Android Auto for each new device.

Reset USB Preferences: Settings > Connected Devices > USB Preferences. Set it to File Transfer/Android Auto instead of Charging Only.

Clear Android Auto Cache & Data: Settings > Apps > Android Auto. Tap Storage > Clear Cache & Clear Data.

If you’ve tried all these steps and it still doesn’t work, try removing and re-adding your car. Reconnect and set it up again.

Thank you.
