Hi everyone,
When I'm using Android Auto on Carlink 2.0 and running navigation while playing music on Spotify, the music pauses whenever a Google Maps lane instruction comes up, and then resumes afterward. This also happens with other navigation apps and incoming messages.
I assume there is an issue within the Carlink 2.0 app regarding how it recognizes certain audio channels. On an old unit I had (a Junsun V9), I had zero issues with this; it would simply lower the volume of the music while the navigation instruction or incoming message played.
I suspect that Carlink 2.0 treats every audio channel as one. Because navigation, calls, messages, and media aren't separated, it either can't dim the background audio or it can't handle two audio channels being sent at the same time. So, if media is playing and a message arrives, the media playback stops, the message sound plays, and then the media resumes. The same thing happens with navigation instructions.
I run everything inside Android Auto and don't use the unit's internal Play Store apps. However, I did test the local Play Store versions of Spotify and Google Maps, and they work perfectly fine together. Because of this, I'm 100% sure the issue lies within Carlink 2.0.
