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.

    It is my job to drive safely.

    You may very well use it safely but many other people certainly do not. Personally I appreciate not having my life in their careless and inattentive hands.

    Why in the hell should my passenger have to sit through repeated “safety breaks” while they try to scroll down to play a new song?

    They shouldn’t. But Android doesn’t know who’s holding the phone.

      I mean if you look at it that way anyone just using a car is a security risk at that point.

        You’re exactly right, which is why cars are legally mandated to have a myriad of safety systems.
