I just got a Samsung Note 5 (Android Version 5.1.1) and it won't connect to my AVH-4100NEX via android auto. I previously had a Note 4 that was able to connect through the same USB cable I am using. The head unit firmware is currently 1.03 which I am going to update to the current 1.09 but I want to see if anyone else had ideas? Thanks in advance.

What setting issue did you have? My Note 5 worked fine until I did a firmware update to 5.1.1. Now when I plug it AA does not start...

Strangest thing-Yesterday I did everything I could think of to get my Note 5 to work with Android Auto over my 4100NEX after an OTA update.  Different cables, ensure usb media mode was on, enabled USB debugging, factory reset, etc.  Nothing worked.  Then today it works perfect and I did not change any settings.  Hopefully it continues to work without issues.
