Android Auto is working when I use "Hey Google play songtitle", but it only displays the song. I then have to press play on the screen as it does not automatically start to play it. How do I get it to automatically play the song? It works everywhere else except on Android Auto.
Moderator Edit: Changing title for clarity

As an update, this was initially connected wirelessly via by Motorola's MA1 Wireless Car Adapter for Andorid Auto. I have since tried this with a direct wired connection from my phone, and the issue remains. The song only plays once play is pressed on the screen.
Ideas anyone?

Hi @Repro
Thanks for posting and sorry for any trouble listening to Pandora with your Android Auto.
I see that you've reached out to our User Support team and it looks like you've gone through quite a few troubleshooting steps already. While I don't have any other suggestions to offer at this time, I'm happy to pass this along to our engineering team for further investigation.
Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
