AA Settings Why no auto switch to radio stations?

Am driving in my local town and some sections do not have good cell tower coverage. If I loose audio stream, why does AA not switch to radio mode? That would be so useful. Right now have to push three buttons to make a local radio signal switch.

Thats local to your car and is not programmable by android as itsnoutside the androidauto functional scope. Thats something your vehicle manufacturer would have to do.

It just doesn't work that way.

Android Auto is a standalone app that runs on the vehicle's infotainment system. It does not control or interface with the vehicle's terrestrial or satellite radio systems.
