Android Auto stopped working
Hi all. I have a 2019 GLC300. I have the android auto running for a while. But last night, I turned off the "automatically start" option when I connect my phone with the USB. Now, I can never turn on the android auto on the screen, and I dont see any option to turn the "automatically start" back on. Can anybody help? Thank you.

If you did something on the car, look for Android Options in the Connect menu. You might have to pair it again there. The Android Autolaunch is only for BlueTooth, in other words for cars that don't support full Android Auto. Once you connect by USB, it should come up automatically if it's properly paired. It sounds like you had either the phone or the car "forget" the pairing.
Also, try connecting the cable and then doing a long push on the voice button on the steering wheel to see if that will initiate pairing.

If you did something on the phone, look at Connected Cars in the Android Auto settings (tap the "hamburger," the three line icon) when you bring up Android Auto on the phone.

Thanks whoover. So I see my car on the antroid auto setting on my phone. The bluetooth pairing works fine. But the Android Auto is still not showing up on the console after I plugin the USB. How do I get to the "Connect" menu? I don't see it under the System setting.

Pair the phone with BlueTooth and then connect via USB cable.
