What's the problem if the application Androids Auto connect automatically? Wouldn't that make it easier for drivers by giving them access to various smartphone features?

Yes, by providing access to features such as Google Maps, browsers, music tuner (so you don't get sleepy), the driver can be greatly helped when driving.

But sometimes the problem is that the car used is not always owned by the driver/passenger, right? It could be a borrowed or rented vehicle.

On the other hand, there are times when during the trip, the device may experience low battery and need to be charged. Like it or not, connecting the device becomes a necessity.

Then if it connects automatically, this can be a problem for those who (for various reasons) do not want to leave a history of connected devices in the car.

Now let's go straight to the main discussion, namely how to disable Android Auto. There are four options that you can choose according to the inactive condition you want.

So, pay close attention to the following steps, so that you can execute them properly and not carelessly. Here is a review based on different scenarios:

Disable Android Auto from Automatically Connecting when USB is Connected

The first way is if you want Android Auto not to connect randomly when connecting a USB cable. You can disable this by:

  • Open “Settings” on your Android phone;
  • Scroll down and select the “Advanced features” menu. You can also use the search feature (usually at the top of the screen) by entering the keyword “Android Auto”;
  • Find and tap “Android Auto”;
  • Open “Previously connected vehicles” (the name of this option may vary depending on your Android version);
  • Turn off the “Add new vehicles to Android Auto” option.

Disabling from Car (If Already Automatically Connected)

However, if your smartphone is already connected and you want to disconnect it immediately, you can deactivate it directly via the car device in the following way:

  • Go to the “Settings” menu on your car screen;
  • Select “Connection”/”Connected Devices” (depending on each car and Android version);
  • Find the connected device you want to disable. Select the option to “Forget”/”Remove Device”.

Completely Disable

Often also because of the difference in Android versions or smartphone brands, the above method does not work. If you also experience this, it is better to just disable the application:

  • Open “Settings” on your Android phone;
  • Scroll down and select the “Applications”/”Apps” menu;
  • Find and tap “Android Auto”;
  • Select the “Disable” option. (If this option is not available, proceed to the next step);
  • Select “Notifications”, and turn off the “Show notifications” option;
  • Once done, return to the previous menu and tap “Force Stop”/”Force Close”. This way, you should be able to select the button in the fourth step.

Removing Android Auto

For smartphones that do not use the Android OS and the application is a non-essential built-in feature of the device (bloatware), you can also uninstall it by:

  • Open the Google Play Store app, then search for the “Android Auto” page;
  • If the “Uninstall” option appears, press it.
