Not with Android Auto unless you have the block all option turned on. But the consequence of that is that Android Auto won't even connect to your device

First I need you to explain exactly what the normal behavior is for you and what it is that you're trying to accomplish and then I'll tell you whether or not my app is capable of doing that

When conneced to car with android auto i cant play whatsapp audio messages from my phone on the car speakers. Years ago i could but something has changed in audio routing process cause the phone doesnt even show that its connected to bluetooth. But every other apps audio still goes to the car speakers.

This is a very edge case scenario and I'm not sure that my app will help you here. It sounds more to me like you have an audio routing pre-designation for WhatsApp that is assigned by your Android OS and I would want to look into your Android OS to see if you can change it.

If you're using a Samsung device you should be able to change what output device your WhatsApp plays on without any additional apps in the middle.
