Issue about not working AA or Carplay, mostly comes from quality of usb cables, even Volvo insist that for carplay must be used usb hub, where 1x usb port is with white box around and it's suggested to use for carplay, and second port for usb port with music, video etc.
But in fact, even with 1 usb port SPA cars work both AA and Carplay, best way is to use OEM cable of phone, if Samsung phone, use original Samsung phone cable , if Iphone , iphone's original cable, which usual come with chargers, or at some stores buy oem Samsung or Iphone cables, depending which brand you use, Samsung, Huawei etc. , with non-oem cables happen that disconnect often AA, Carplay, for AA there are some requirements like install latest AA app, allow permission for app etc . , same like fro Carplay need eable siri etc. , usual on web of AA or Carplay is described what need enable to have working AA, Carplay.
At some car brands, for Iphones must be replaced usb port, cause not supply enough power, that's why they suggest hub, but at Volvo SPA no problems with 1x usb port, except if someone prefere have 2x ports, 1x for carplay,aa, 1x for music,video usb stick.
