I have a Kenwood head unit that runs AA (and CarPlay) wirelessly, but as was pointed out- the HEAD UNIT must have WiFi built into it. Harley hasn't managed to integrate Bluetooth Communications protocols into the Boom systems, so we're probably a decade away from wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay from the Moco!
As for battery life: I haven't noticed that running AA wirelessly in my truck was causing too much extra drain, but for the most part, I just plug it in so it's charging AND running AA.

You may have a bad USB connection. My phone kept dropping out w/bad cable connection errors. I've seen similar issues connecting to my laptop to move data. Borrowed my wife's new phone & it works fine. My phone has had the connection beat to **** by our dog jumping on it when I have it connected it my car, standing upright in cup holder with cord sticking up. Eventually I'll need to get a new phone. My LG V30 is like 4 years old now.

I just installed the update below and it didn't contain any Android Auto ....
Is this the correct file?
I have a 2019 Ultra limited.
[Software File] BOOM! GTS DOM (North America) MY21.20.17.00

I would suggest searching You Tube videos for some help. H-D has an infoscreen for Car Play. Android Auto should work similarly but don't know that for sure.

It will likely default to Google maps on your screen. To access other apps, push the round button on the lower left of your screen.

In addition if you havent used Android Auto before you will also need to download the app to your phone. The first time you hook your phone to the bike there will be a few steps to go through on your phone. The start to finish process took me about 15 minutes.
