My Question or Issue

I’ve had my car thing for about a year and up until recently it has worked great. But in the past week or so, every time I power it up it clears my current queue and starts playing my liked songs playlist. Does anyone know why this is happening? I factory reset it and it’s still an issue and I don’t have liked songs as one of my presets.

I had the same issue I found if you have the app open when your phone the next it will not do it

I'd like to add that I'm on android which I believe points to a Spotify setting rather than device issue.

Same issue. It is very frustrating, especially with large playlists/queues playing on random like a radio station, then I have to restart or rebuild the entire queue

I wish that worked for me, strangely it only works if I have it actively playing and have my phone unlocked and app open. All things that are a bit of a hassle when getting into my car and turning it on
