Other than getting a new phone, I feel like I've tried everything in every forum but I can't tell if we are having the same issue. My Wireless Android Auto "Works". Get the extra icon on the screen... can move through AA apps but can't stream music or get live traffic updates as I drive. That AND no updates from any apps, like Email. Currently I have the the temp data program and the connect to another WiFi turned off. I've tried turning off the location, add remove cars, cache, data cleared, reinstall, reboot and updated, downgraded.
LG V40... Latest software. ===Soon be a Samsung S21 Ultra.
AA version - 6.3.611324
Chrome Version - 90.0.4430.82

So the trucks wifi for Android Auto\Apple Carplay is not the same as the Wifi for internet. You are connecting to the stereo and using wifi direct for displaying your screen. You need your normal mobile connection (Cell service) for data. Sorry trying to make it simple to explain. Message me directly if you want more details.

The PRO is the projected APP "WiFi", the hot spot is the hot spot that I am not connected to. It is just showing in my screenshot.

And while I know the internet will come from my phone, I still need data for traffic updates.

Your phone can only be connected to one WiFi at a time. So if you need internet your phone need cell service plan. The projector one is not supposed to provide internet.

On iOS it automatically knows the Wifi in not for data. Then switches to Cell, then keeps the wifi connected to the projector one.

Thanks for the reply. I assure you I have a data plan with my phone. When I turn off App projection and plug wire in to phone and truck, all works just fine.

I was having the same problem until I switched the "Switch to mobile data" to "ON" in the advanced wi-fi settings.
