Workaround for "Wireless Connection Failed" (vehicle to Android connection)

[swamp2]

I get this somewhat frequently after power cycling the truck. Previous "fixes" include connecting a Carlinkit via USB (vehicle treats it like a phone), rebooting phone or restarting truck and phone.

So far this is faster and reliable. Hold down the volume down button and the next track buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. This causes the center display to go black and restarts SYNC. Phone connects immediately and phone and media and other Android Auto features work.

Same thing with CarPlay, I reboot sync radio first, sometimes phone, always works.
