Android auto and the digital key

[Technonotice]

I have had a great time with my car this week, exploring features and just pootling around in it. My favourite thing so far is the digital key so no more forgetting my car keys as it's all on my phone.

I had set up Android auto on the morning I collected the car and it worked, as much as that app ever does. But when using the digital key it doesn't.
Now I don't know if there is a direct correlation between these two things, but today I'll be with key and not use the digi-key and see if AA works.

Will update later.

Otherwise, still very much loving the new car.

Nope. Not the digi-key or the hotspot. Deleted AA and got it to connect car and phone but it still doesn't work.
More to come.

Nope. Not the hotspot or the BT name or any if that. Reset everything and still no.
At least I've fitted the dash cam.

Have you tried Press and hold the Home button for 20 to 30 sec until the infotainment reboots.

My zs ev is at emg ipswich for the 6th time on a 4 going on 5 month warranty claim. The t box had failed and part of the issue is the digital key not working

Reset everything, still no joy. Sat in the house thinking and looked up the error. Decided to go wired and plugged my phone into the data socket AND turned the hotspot off.
Data port connected and set up AA, so once I had that I unplugged the phone and it's still working. I may try to redo the hotspot at some point, but then may just use BT audio over AA - but at least it is now working again.
