Are you running the latest version of AA? Do you have Full Screen?
In the US I have Version 5.2.501054. I lost the use of the Touchpad last July with the new Version of AA that made major enhancements including Full Screen. I see now that Wireless is supported but apparently not with the new GLE.

No wireless AA although that would be nice. As for full screen again no, have have two black bars on either side, but do fill top to bottom. For Waze as mentioned in my other post, I was forced to enable AA Dev mode to get it to work.

I also have a Canadian GLE350 2020 delivered in March. My Android Auto trackpad only works when pressing on it. I cant toggle between apps. Have you figured it out yet?

What do you mean by toggle between apps?

The movement of the trackpad works, but I do need to hard press for selections.

For instance, if i'm Google maps, i cannot exit and switch to spotify without using the touch screen. I cannot use my track pad as a mouse to switch in between apps.

I can use the pads to switch... It is not like a mouse however. It jumps from UI control to UI control. Both steering and console work the same. Hard click to activate it make a selection. To note I was required to or AA in developer mode to get Waze working, but navigation worked before that.
