- Android Auto users are reporting that a single press of their steering-wheel media controls skips two songs instead of one.
- Initially reported by Toyota RAV4 owners earlier this year, the issue is now being reported with other vehicles and aftermarket stereos.
- Google support has contacted affected users and escalated recent complaints to the Android Auto team, but there’s no confirmed fix.
Steering-wheel buttons are supposed to make controlling music easier while driving, but some Android Auto users are finding that a single press can send their playlists two songs forward or backward. It’s a frustrating problem that has been around for months, and fresh complaints suggest it isn’t going away anytime soon.
The issue first gained attention earlier this year, when owners of the 2026 Toyota RAV4 reported that pressing the next or previous button on their steering wheels registered two commands instead of one. The behavior affected multiple music apps, including Spotify and YouTube Music, across wired and wireless connections.
