With the Apple phone i have as soon as you plug it in apple car play took over everything, you cant use the phone buttons or the virtual cockpit map, you get that stupid compass.
I bought as S10 last week and when i plugged it in to the cord Android auto starts but all the phone features still use blue tooth and i can use the virtual cockpit for goole and use waze on the main screen.
Ask me how but i am not really sure but it does work in the Audi Q7 2017.
There was a setting that said use Bluetooth while connected to Android auto in the android auto settings

Do you have your phone plugged while using Google map or not?

You can definitely have the VC showing its map (Google Earth) and when AA starts (connected via USB) you can show Waze or Google Maps (w/Satellite view as an option)... as soon as you start a navigation session via AA (Google or Waze) you'll get the compass on the VC.. end the navigation session, the map will reappear on the VC...

Yes, this is possible, but the VC turns into a compass when you start to Navigate in Google maps. Hope this helps.

You have to go in connection manager and remove (uncheck) your phone as the Audi smartphone. It will not auto connect Android auto until you go in and reselect it again.
