Question Driving App starting whenever I enable Bluetooth

[mosio]

Hi Guys,
I had no problem until recently, I have this issue that whenever I enable Bluetooth on my Pixel 6 the Driving app kicks in automatically. I don't have any bt devices connected nor I recall touching any settings to have that enabled.
Does anyone know how to disable this?

Hi. Sometimes using search in settings does miracles Hope this helps.

That is a good advice
You know what? I had no such item in the menu before I searched for it, but after disabling all automation it still launches Driving app

Hmmm. Weird, mine stopped doing that. Maybe, it's Bluetooth triggerd or, alternatively, by something running in the background, for example, Waze?

Found the culprit - it was an internet radio app which was forcing that behavior. That's a bit crazy because I had not granted any permissions to that app, yet it triggered another mode

Go to setting>search "android system" on the search bar > select "android system" saying " app info " at the bottom" > select "notification" under android system > make it unchecked the " car mode"> now it is done.

Just replying here since I have the same problem and wanted to say DO NOT DO THIS!

I made this mistake a day or two ago. The problem is driving mode is still enabled even if the notification is gone, which disables tap to wake and the screen timeout stuff. The only way to fix it is to hit the notification to close whatever app it is or find the app (which I've been this far unsuccessful in doing.)

Found the app that keeps turning on CarMode.

Here is how, you need install adb and turn on develop mode.

• Turn off bluetooth and driving mode
• adb logcat|grep -i handleCarModeChange
• When driving mode appears, click notification to disable it.

You will see

Telecom : InCallController: handleCarModeChange: packageName=com.radiolight.japon, priority=0, isCarMode=true: SSH.oR@3zU
Telecom : InCallController: handleCarModeChange: not a valid InCallService; packageName=com.radiolight.japon: SSH.oR@3zU

For me, uninstall com.radiolight.japon (Radioworld FM) fixed everything.
