Android Auto bug causes steering-wheel controls to skip two tracks
Android Auto users are reporting an ongoing bug where pressing a steering-wheel media button skips two songs instead of one. Google has escalated the recent complaints, but no fix is available.
Users of Android Auto have experienced a frustrating issue where a single press of their vehicle's steering-wheel media controls causes music apps to skip two tracks forward or backward. Originally reported by Toyota RAV4 owners earlier this year, the problem has now spread to other vehicles and aftermarket stereos across various music apps like Spotify, YouTube Music, and Tidal. While troubleshooting steps such as clearing caches, reinstalling apps, and resetting Bluetooth have failed to resolve the behavior, Google support has forwarded the complaints to the Android Auto team. Currently, there is no confirmed fix or official explanation for what is causing the double-skipping issue.
