This is my biggest feature/bug request. It takes a lot of search, clicks and effort to just resume what I was hearing in my last android auto session. For short ride, or during busy driving a lot of times it is not worth the effort to fumble though the navigation to find the old episodes and resume.

My Auto-Start is turned off in my pandora app but it still automatically turns on when connecting to Android Auto. I also have the continue to play music function within my Android Auto app turned off. I don't understand why it keeps running.

If you have the latest update, you will now see the settings cog at the bottom of the screen. Select settings, then scroll down to start music automatically and turn that off. This resolved for my 16 silverado

Mine does that too. It's very frustrating. I'll shut it down on my phone after it auto starts and it'll keep popping up on android auto and turn off my radio station. I have it turned off in the settings also. It shows on my phone too in the media output with no clear way to turn that off either.

I just bought a new 2023 Chevy Silverado truck and now whenever I get in the truck - the Pandora app on my Google Pixel 6 starts automatically. On my previous 2019 Silverado truck, never a problem. I can switch the infotainment (radio) to FM, but often, it switches back to Pandora. I have gone into the Pandora settings and turned OFF the switch that allows automatic start up, doesn't help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Pandora App. What else can I do as this is very annoying.

Hi, I'm having this issue as well. Auto start is off on the car and enable launch from car is disabled on the app. Every time I get in the car Pandora starts up. It doesn't play unless I hit play but it loads and interrupts the car radio.

2022 blazer. Same issue here with Android auto. Funny thing is, it never happened until I chose to launch Pandora from the Android auto screen instead of from my phone app. Now every time I turn on my car Pandora starts with no way to turn it off.

2018 Maxima - same issue here... Except that using any media through Android Auto now causes Pandora to open automatically when connected... I tried playing a movie on my phone via HBO max while waiting at my daughter's bus stop, via Android Auto, which didn't work. After that, Pandora opens up every time I connect via USB and it changes the media source, requiring me to switch back to whatever it was on before, such as FM or Sirius..

Same issue. Two different vehicles, same Galaxy S9 phone. One stock Pioneer the other an after market Alpine. Listening to FM or XM and then connect my phone for navigation with Android Auto, Pandora changes the media source to itself, requiring me to switch back to XM, then go back to the map. I usually don't listen to Pandora in my car but have started to recently and nearly every time I have it on, my Android Auto now randomly disconnects and I need to unplug and replug in my phone and wait for it to reconnect with my phone, then have to hit continue on my phone, then wait for the map to reload.... extremely frustrating especially when needing directions while driving in traffic. I realize this is an Android Auto issue but seems to be directly related to listening to Pandora as it has never and does not happen when Pandora is not playing.

I have the same issue. I have tried all the settings you provided. I even went I to developer mode and tried. Still does not work. I am uninstalling Panadora until the issue is fix. How do I get an alerts on the fix?

I just bought a new 2022 Silverado & am having the same issue. I'm thinking of uninstalling Pandora but would rather not. I still listen to it sometimes, just not everytime, as soon as I get in my truck. I really think it's a Chevy/radio problem, though, because my Audible app does the same thing if I used it last instead of Pandora.

I have the same issue. Galaxy s23 ultra with a 2020 ram 1500 and android auto. Pandora self starts everytime. I have the launch from car turned off in the android app and in the android auto app I have start music automatically turned off.. how can we get this fixed. I listen to pay Dora occasionally but mainly Sirius xm your parents company that comes through the truck but Pandora starts everytime with android auto

Android Auto worked on my 2019 Honda CR-V on USB cable and Motorola wireless adapter with my S-23 Ultra just fine. S-24 Ultra it does not work at all with either cable or adapter. Screen comes up and says connect USB cable but does not recognize the connection. Adapter shows loading on CR-V screen but never loads. Is this function now just totally broken?

I should add that I have tried multiple 6" high grade 10 gb cables, cleared cash and data and all of the other suggestions I could find on the net and it still does not work. S-23 with 6.0 UI works perfectly. S-24 with 6.1 does not work at all. Both with Android 14.

Update (02/17/24): My AA is still working on Motorola wireless just fine. In fact it is working better than it did on my S22U and S23U. On those phones often when I had a low cell signal it would spool and I would lose my music or it would not start at all. This hasn't happened once with the S24U. Maybe better antenna? Weather and Radar app pops right on the screen when it used to take minutes. I did notice yesterday that in all my fooling around I had turned on AA Developer mode and checked Wireless Android Auto at the top of the list. Don't know what effect this has but you might try it.

I have a very infuriating solution that solved my problem. Android Auto is now working perfectly both with cable and Motorola wireless. Here is the infuriating part. All I did was go into every menu on my 2019 CRV infotainment head and look for a way to update the software. Never found one. When I came out this morning neither the cable or wifi worked. Spent a half hour going through all of the menu selections, and I mean all. Didn't change anything except some nav screen buttons and views. Also clicked on the wifi screen button for the android auto but didn't have a password. Test again and work fine through 3 restarts. Go figure!

I had the same problem with my Android app which was not working with my Galaxy S24. I went to google play on my phone and uninstalled the factory installed Android App. I reinstalled the Android App. I connected my phone to the car and rebooted the program. My problem is now resolved.

I am comparing this behavior to that of Google Podcasts, the app that will stop functioning in 2 days. Whenever I run that app in Android Auto, it will automatically refresh the list of podcasts without any intervention.

I have the expectation that podcast apps would automatically refresh their listing of podcasts, when connected to Android Auto. Is this not the case? Is Google Podcast some sort of unique app that has this behavior?

No. I use PocketCasts only on my Android phone. The same phone is plugged into Android Auto. There is never a refresh of podcasts initiated from Android Auto. Whatever podcasts were on the phone the last time I ran the app (could be days or weeks ago) are the only podcasts available.

Google Podcasts, and their current implentation on Youtube Music, will immediately refresh the latest podcasts after opening up their Android Auto connection. I am searching for a podcast app that mimics this behavior.

It will be best if we share our car models too. Maybe it is a problem with the infotainment system provided with the cars etc. I tried to use android auto with 2 Peugeots one is a 2021 208, the other is 2023 Rifter both did stuck while setting up the android auto. I hope it will be resolved, besides this i am liking the phone coming iPhone but this leaves a bad taste in mouth.

I have just sent them a video recording, replicating the problem while making a bug log. My android auto shows up after a minute or two waiting. But it just shows an image, it does not respond to touches but sound transmits trough the cable.

freshj1ve I have just sent a charging log, this should not require that much effort I think. This is a small feature that should be ready out of the box, only reason I have changed to the android was community and refined looking nothing OS. I would like a technician response to this thread actually.

We are testing out the GlobalProtect for Android app on our Chromebooks. I am able to push out the app via the Google Admin Console and the app connects fine via SSO/SAML to our portal and gateway. The problem is the app will not auto start after it is deployed to the client Chromebook. If the user of the Chromebook manually opens the GlobalProtect app on the Chromebook the GP app will start > auto authenticate SSO via SAML and connect to the gateway but t is only after the user manually opens the GP app will GP auto start and auto connect every time the user logs on to the Chromebook. I am assuming this is because the GP app downloads its config/settings from the portal the first time it connects and then sets itself to be Always On. Is there a work around to get the app to auto start immediately after it is installed onto the Chromebook via the Google Admin Console? I read through this article

I have tested the Always On setting in the Google Admin console with SAML and it doesn't work because that setting does not allow any internet access until the VPN is connected. I also have tested the Always On Google Admin Console setting via a LDAP service account. I supply the service account's username and password in the JSON values of the app in Google Admin Console. This works but it takes about 30 seconds to a minute for the VPN to connect on the Chromebook and during that 30 seconds to a minute the user has no internet. This is a work around but it is still not a complete solution if you ask me. I wish there was some way via JSON values to tell GlobalProtect to start as soon as it is installed and be Always On without the need to set the Always On setting in the Google Admin console. This is the way it works on Windows via msi package parameters. Wish Palo can get this working on Chrome OS.
