Stop Android Auto from playing automatically

Support

Issue description:

I use Symfonium in Android Auto to play songs from my Dropbox. It works well. Now, when I finish my drive, I am careful to pause the song that is playing. When I next return to the car and start it, as soon as Android Auto connects, it starts playing the last song. Is there any way to disable that?

I have all the “Automatic Actions” set to “off”.

Yes, that was already set. It has no effect.

Then complain to Google ? :slight_smile: The app receive a play command it plays, it can’t know that it’s Android Auto and you don’t want that.
