Mine hasn’t had the issue where I have to unlock, but I think as others have commented that piece can be solved by the setting here:

but I have just noticed that carplay comes up on the car at very random intervals. Not a huge problem, but definitely odd.

I’ve tried many different things like closing all my apps before connecting, having specific apps open, having phone unlocked when I plug in, unlocking right after I plug in. And none of these seem to impact the load time 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe they figured it was too obvious. Anyhow, for any other dummies out there, it's a pretty simple fix.

Same issue in my wife's Merc..Drive's her nutz! Kind of annoying as Android auto doesn't really care once it's been paired and setup.
