But when I select android auto it either sits on a "processing" screen or says I need to engage the parking brake. I've tried connecting the light green wire to the parking brake and I've tried using a bypass relay, but I can't get this to work. Local shops are backed up and can't get me in for over a month. I've looked at other posts in this section, but I didn't see any mention of android auto.

Does anyone have any experience setting up android auto with a XF?
On my Kenwood head unit I just earthed the green wire so the screen would play videos, never used it but the wire begged me to attach it to something. I do not think this helps you but ......
