3T with Open Beta 18 crashes every few minutes when using Android Auto

I recently got a new Mercedes C Class 2017 (built november) with the all-new Android Auto Support (finally..)

My girlfriends phone works fine with it, I can connect it, android auto starts and I am able to use it for as long as I've tested (~2 hours).
When I try to do the same with my 3t (running latest open beta 18) my phone will hard crash after a few minutes of usage. I'm talking screen black but still running kind of crash here, phone does no longer react to anything, I can only do a hard restart (long pressing the power button for ~10 seconds). The crash is always reproducable but does not seem to be limited to certain apps (happened on spotify, google maps, waze and idle), the phone just crashes after a few minutes. I already disabled battery optimization for Android Auto but to no effect.

Any ideas?

Try upgrading to the stable Oreo 5.0 ROM instead of the beta, there's lots of debugging turned on in the beta that can cause issues, as well as buggy implementations. Beta is Beta after all [emoji16]

hm I was going to do that but I read a post somewhere that there are no bugs fixed between the beta and the stable channel for this release so I thought it's probably not worth trying. I'll give it a shot nevertheless today

-edit- I tried it: did a full wipe and a clean install of OOS5 but Android Auto is still crashing after a few seconds of usage
