[hotdog] Android Auto USB connection does not initiate

Build date

PixelExperience_Plus_hotdog-11.0-20210518-1049-OFFICIAL

Expected Behavior

This issue also happens on fajita, though the issue template will not let me fill that in

The phone is connected to the car using a USB cable, car initiates the connection and Android Auto is triggered on the phone.

Current Behavior

** This also affects fajita **

The phone is connected to the car using a USB cable, the car only sees a MTP device, and Android Auto is never triggered or detected. With USB debugging on, the phone reports that a device is connected for USB debugging.

Head Unit Reloaded, a third party implementation of the Android Auto head unit works sometimes, we got it to work on the 6T, but the 7T Pro has the same behavior as plugged into a real car.

Works on both phones using official LineageOS with the full NikGapps package.

Tested with two Ford Focus Mk 4 cars, running Ford Sync 3.

Possible Solution

Maybe a protocol/default app association is not set correctly somewhere?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Plug USB cable into USB port in a car
2. Start up the car so it's ready for Android Auto connections
3 .Connect USB cable to phone
4. Phone does not respond

5. consider making your bot a bit less stringent about issue templates
