My Question or Issue

When using Android Auto in a 2026 Toyota RAV4, pressing the steering wheel "Next Track" button causes Spotify to skip two songs instead of one. The intermediate song briefly appears on screen before immediately advancing to the following song. The issue is fully reproducible and occurs every time.

Hey there @broman973,

Thanks for posting on the Community!

We had a look into this and we noticed reports about it on Google's forum. This seems to specifically affect the 2026 RAV4 and its Android Auto integration, so we'd recommend heading over to this thread, as it's currently being investigated by their teams there.

We're just a post away if you need anything else, cheers 🙂
