Five essential Android Auto tweaks for a safer drive

TL;DR
Android Auto can be improved with five quick tweaks: stop music from auto-playing when connected; minimize notification distractions by turning off the message chime or removing apps from the Android Auto drawer; prevent Android Auto from starting automatically (no direct setting—use the workaround to disable Start Android Auto while the phone is locked); create shortcuts in Customize Launcher for frequent actions; and enable Taskbar widgets to control playback from the taskbar, so you can stay focused on the road.
