    2020 TRD. I'm looking for an alternative to ANDROID AUTO. Any suggestions as to what, and also how to stop ANDROID AUTO from starting when the USB cable is inserted? I found one that I think I like, called AUTO ZEN from the play store, but ANDROID AUTO starts every time I connect the USB.

    Your phone may have the option to turn AA off. I know my Crapple does.

    Another option (which I use occasionally) is to plug the phone into the 12v adapter vs. the audio port. I have this installed in my 12v adapter which nets me a total of 3 USB ports in the front seat.

    The opening page of Settings in AA has an option "Start Android Auto automatically" - open that and there are three options.
