  "account": "Android Auto's music controls are failing to function as intended, with users reporting that a single press of the steering-wheel media buttons skips two songs forward or backward instead of just one. This issue, initially noticed by owners of the 2026 Toyota RAV4, has since been reported by users of various vehicles and aftermarket stereos. Google support has reached out to affected individuals and escalated the matter to the Android Auto team, but a definitive resolution has yet to be found. Steering-wheel buttons were designed to enhance the ease of controlling music while driving, but users are experiencing significant frustration as a single press can cause their playlists to jump two songs ahead or backward. The problem has persisted for several months, with new complaints surfacing regularly. The issue was first brought to light earlier this year when Toyota RAV4 owners noticed that their steering wheels registered two commands with one press, affecting popular music streaming apps such as Spotify and YouTube Music, regardless of whether the connection was wired or wireless.",
