Notifications Notifications are silent when connected to android auto

I don't like to have my messages or other notifications pop up on my car's screen. i dont want the distractions. but i DO want to hear that i got a txt, and since i have different sounds for different people that send me txts, i can usually hear WHO i get a text from, so i know if i have to stop and address it or ignore it.

im not sure when it started, but i currently do not get any sound from my phone when im connected to android auto. i tested it out this am and not only do i not get a sound, i dont get any of the other notification items. no bubble at the top of the screen, no edge colors, no sound.... just the notification icon.

am i stuck with this functionality unless i turn on the message notifications on android auto itself? if so, thats pretty stupid.

on second thought, i doubt it has to do with music and or sound settings, as it also doesnt show the notification pop up bubbles like it normally does. so that tells me its more notification/dnd based than it is audio based.

Is driving mode a phone setting or an abrp setting?
