HI. I installed the image on SD card , connected telephone to car with cable for 1st connection of Android Auto , then I connected rpi2w to the usb and did pairing with 'AndroidAuto-Dongle'. It connected automatically the phone to 'AAWirelessDongle' in Wi-Fi. But in phone notification status I see "running line" 'Looking for Addroid Auto'. Sometimes I got notification 'Android Auto is available, plug in to connect to car screen' , but it doesn't connect. I tried to press Android Auto on the car multimedia interface, I changed 3 cables micro usb (rpi2w), I tried both micro usb connectors on the rpi2W. What I'm missing ?

I found why it didn't worked - "with the USB OTG enabled port on the board" I didn't know what is it and found that need to enable Why it not enabled in shared images for rpi... I enabled it according to the next post: https://gist.github.com/gbaman/975e2db164b3ca2b51ae11e45e8fd40a

Also , from description "Install and run" it was not clear for me if I need to left direct BT pair or must to unpair. So , you need to have the direct BT pair. As far ad I understand it , the setup use direct BT pair , BT pair with RPi (to configure and trigger connection) and wifi connection with RPi (AndroidAuto transfer channel).
