I got a new phone and now can't stop android auto from starting every time I get in the car.

With my previous phone I had it set up where I could launch android auto manually, it didn't start automatically. I could of sworn there was a setting in Pivi to not auto launch but I don't see it.

 

Yes there is! If you go into the settings and phone settings there should be an android auto setting where you can toggle auto start. I have mine not set to auto open also.

 

I don't see anything related to Android Auto in Pivi under (Settings > Apps > Phone)

In the section (Settings > Connectivity > Smart Devices > My Phone) there is an Auto-Connect option, but it's related to Bluetooth. Disabling it prevents my phone from connecting altogether.

Could you be more specific where the setting is? I had it working with my old device so this is puzzling.
