Ironic, I'm /completely/ the opposite. My radio cannot connect and start playing music fast enough.
The radio stations in my area are all total and utter shit, and I'd rather listen to white noise while I wait for the BT to connect and start playing my music. I find it difficult to even listen to a radio station for a minute these days. It's now permanently set to a dead frequency.
My old car had an aftermarket head unit that would stay on the BT mode when I start the car, not making a sound while it's connecting. Current car always defaults to FM, and only when it's connected then I can go to the BT source option and get music from my phone. It's horrible!
- VintageCool 4y agoI like to listen to podcasts or audiobooks while I drive. Usually I do this through Bluetooth. Occasionally I want to use Android Auto so that the maps will show up on the car's screen. I have to plug in my phone through USB to make this happen. The audiobook will now play over the USB connection. When I disconnect from USB or when I turn off the car, it switches from my audibook to SiriusXM ads. At twice the volume. It's incredibly obnoxious.
- ydant 4y agoSee my comment above about the aux jack.
- ydant 4y agoFor my car, I solved the radio issue by plugging in a headphone plug (no cable attached) into the aux input. The car prioritizes android auto/BT->aux input->XM/FM, so by having this plugged in the radio never plays automatically. It just starts on aux (no sound), then switches to Android Auto once it's connected.
