Disable autoplay on Android auto

[CinderKona]

Hi all,

How on earth can I disable autostart whilst using Android Auto. Once it connects to Bluetooth it consistently won't turn off. I can imagine it's very distracting and certainly makes driving more hazodous. 

Thanks

It still plays even with this setting turned off. There isn't an automatic setting that I can toggle in Spotify. Thoughts?

Same here. It's already off. Even if youre in general app settings (Android) and you tap "additional settings in the app" then it goes to Spotify settings, but then immediately jumps to Now Playing and leaves settings. It's tripping over itself with conflicting uncoordinated patterns from different groups of developers. Maybe Android OS is making Spotify look bad but Spotify shouldnt play along. They should pursue it on users' behalf and because it is unsafe and disrespectfully careless.
