It is great that the overall location setting is on, but there is another level to location. Each app has its own permission for using your location. Maybe you want Google Maps to have your location, but you don't want your social media to see it. You have the power to decide which app can and cannot see you.
From What you show of your car’s screen, it looks like Android Auto is connected, you just have to change that location permission and you should be good to go.
Go to Settings > Location > App access to location > Maps and make sure it is selected to Permitir todo el tiempo o Allow only when using the app.
I've been researching this for months and while not specific to the Nord N200, I've seen reports that some OnePlus models have problems with Android Auto. I've found that if you go into the App Management under settings and force Android Auto to stop, it will usually connect after that. However, it still frequently has problems like the screen going black and coming back or certain media apps don't work or stop working.
Also, after using Android Auto I usually have to reboot the phone because it becomes unusably slow. I have an Iphone from work and it has none of these problems with the same car and cable of the same brand. I also tried an older Samsung A20 tethered to my Nord and it worked fine as well.
