Hello all!
We have a car that supports android auto wired (Not wireless) When my dads phone is connected and someone is scrolling true spotify it keeps coming up with a safety break every few seconds or so. Is their some way to disable this without rooting the device he is using a Pixel 7? My phone does not have this issue and i can scroll all day long without it coming up but i am using a P7P with Graphene OS so i suspect it is some kind of permission AA doesn’t have in my case.
I get that the safety break is supposed to be a “feature” to keep your eyes in the road. in practice it does the opposite as you are looking at the screen waiting for it to pass so you can go on with the scrolling.
He is also using it with maps which doesn’t work with Bluetooth. Steering wheel allows scrolling true the current playlist not select others. Voice control is more then useless it for some reason can not get a single word right and makes a mess of things.
I have also seem more complicated fix attempts by tricking a parking break sensor or something but that isn’t possible with this car (Audi etron)
Yes Android Auto is needlessly complex. I don’t think the parking sensor is the cause anyway.
Perhaps there are some options on the phone to disable screen takeover or pop-ups or something. Deleting all app permissions is my best guess.
