Sound muting on Android Auto

[Tony 13]

Hi, Used Android Auto in my car today. Main problem is that it was not muting the radio during annoucements. I was using the car radio. Android auto is through the Ford SYNC3 system, and I connected from an Android S20. The route was a simple point to point, the navigation and annoucements (although hard to hear) were fine.

Many navigation apps do support the navigation audio channel for Android Auto. If your Android Auto device has de navigation audio channel, the radio/music channel will be muted or lowered in volume in case of a navigation announcement.

But MRA doesn't support the Navigation audio channel properly. It uses the media channel. That's why the radio/music is not or not always muted/lowered in volume.

@Tony-13, My Kuga (Sync3) is also not muting the car audio. That's a Ford thing, not an MRA thing. I kind of like it though. I just set the Navigation audio a bit louder then the music, and that is perfectly fine for me. If you use a music app on your phone, MRA does duck the audio.
