New OTA software update causing problems with android auto

Hello,

Just today I did an OTA upgrade to 07/2021.85 because it popped up on my screen. Downloaded MyBMW and went through the OTA upgrade just fine UNTIL I tried to connect my android auto and it refuses to connect. Phone itself is connecting just fine via bluetooth and wifi but android auto won't connect.

I tried to reboot iDrive by holding down the power button for 30 seconds - is there something else I can try?

I also had to do wifi connect via myBMW app to upload the upgrade from my phone. I wonder if this connection needs to be reset.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I'm on 11/2021.38 - so whatever you updated to there, it ain't the latest!

Not sure if it matters but I have 2021 model.

Update: I uninstalled android auto and reinstalled on the phone and it now connects.
