Some find that a different cable helps.

Never got it to work in 18 months on my mk1 zs ev. Tried different cables and phones. Works faultlessly on my new trophy lr.

I've found mine a bit temperamental, usually works if I turn car on, unlock the phone, then plug it in.

I experience similar, I have got a decent cable and the method I use is click on android auto before connecting the lead, you then get the connect cable message, then I plug the usb in and press android auto again, it opens android auto, some times immediately and sometimes a lapse of 5-6 second but always connects, the correct cable is crucial, I searched Amazon foe “android auto compatible cable” and picked a short one.

If you are still having problems, this is the cable I bought from Amazon and it works well

Strange how i have never had a problem with connecting to AA with a cable once i set the USB options on my phone from "charge only " to transfer files ( i think there is also a AA option now).
The only annoyance was i could not close the lid while the cable was plugged in , so i got the following from amazon "

USB Type C Cable, Mcdodo 90° Right Angle 3.1A Fast Charging USB C Charger Cable, (0.5m+1.2m+3m)

So i can leave the cable plugged in and close the lid. Perfect
