Android Auto: Launches and plays when connected in vehicle

[Shmoopie]

It's a bit crazy that this issue has spanned multiple years,  phones,  and cars.  I have a 2018 Kia Optima with factory stretto l stereo and have had this issue on my old Samsung S20 FE and now on my new Samsung A24. Is Pandora still working on the resolution?

Hi @Shmoopie 

Welcome to community!

To clarify, when you connect to Android Auto, Pandora launches and plays audible music or do you only see a notification appear on your screen?

Thanks!

It connects to the car and plays music, but after the car is shut down and
Android Auto sits down as well, if I go to the background screen on my
phone, even hours later, it will tell me pansies is running in the
background until I manually stop it.

Thanks for the follow up, @Shmoopie.

Do you connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices, like a speaker?

What is your Android OS and your Pandora version your currently on?
