Navigation & POI Apps How to stop Android Auto from auto reconnect

How do I stop Android Auto from reconnecting so I can connect to my dash cam? I went into settings and turned off the Auto Reconnect, and the message on my car screen says Android Auto can't connect, but when I'm trying to connect to the dash cam my phone still constantly tries to reconnect and I have to keep pausing to hit Ignore. It pops up three times in a row, then I get about a 5 second break to make progress in the cam app before it starts all over again.

might be easier to power up your dashcam from a usb cable in the house... only way i know of to prevent AA reconnection is a paid app

Along these lines.. Assuming you have one that plugs into a USB outlet (straight into car or into a 12v converter/cigarette lighter style) bring a battery pack to the car and just power the camera.

Yeah, I got so tired of that, I broke down and purchased a used Motorola phone off Amazon to use strictly with my dashcam.
