Android Auto recovery after USB disconnection

Berbe

I got an older generation car in which connection for Android Auto is wired only.
It has those USB A type connectors which are a bit loose, meaning a little jiggle on them can create disconnections.

I am noticing when such disconnections happen, no reconnection is possible, meaning the phone will be able to charge again when the connection is restored (ie the socket is "jiggled" back in a proper contact position), but no Android Auto communication/detection will be happening until I reboot my phone.
Further disconnection/waiting/reconnection of the cable have no impact on the Android Auto front: on replug, I notice the vibration indicting charge is happening, but no USB connection notification happens on the car side, and no notification on the phone indicates any Android Auto communication whatsoever.

I have upgraded my car firmware in the meantime (often good to keep things up-to-date, right?), with no change on that front.

Any ideas?
Is there a way to gather data on such an event to feed knowledgeable people with?

Honestly I wouldnt waste time trying to analyse this problem but rather check if the cable is good quality and maybe look into ways to replace the USB type A connector in the car.

When this happen,
Unplug the cable,
Unlock the phone,
Lock the phone,
Unlock the phone,
Plug back in,
Enjoy.

Well, I have the same issue sometimes even on newer car (usb-c is garbage for this application in the car end)
