Android auto pauses after few seconds

Issue description:

I have Samsung S25 Ultra running on Android 16 (OneUI 8.0) and whenever I am connecting to my car’s Android Auto wirelessly playback pauses within few seconds. After resuming playback there seems to be no issues apart from occasional random pauses, but those are quite rare. I am using Navidrome as a music provider and I enabled automatic offline media caching for my entire library. I mostly have FLAC’s with occasional MP3 files (file format doesn’t seem to change behavior)

Additional information:

I have tried several different options in Symfonium settings menu, but nothing helped. Additionally I double checked and bluetooth audio is disabled in my car menu (so there shouldn’t be any interference between bluetooth music playback and AA music playback

Reproduction steps:

unlock the car → start the car → android auto connects automatically and music playback starts → music gets paused after few seconds

Media provider:

Subsonic

Well in the logs the car does connect to bt then disconnect leading to the pause as expected by the option you enabled to do that.

Thank you for such quick reply! I have disabled bluetooth auto play option in automatic actions settings and it fixed my issue. Now when android auto starts, music starts playing without pausing automatically.
