2026 Toyota RAV4 owners report Android Auto steering wheel controls malfunctioning, skipping two songs instead of one. Learn about the bug, affected apps, and fix updates.

Owners of the new 2026 Toyota RAV4 are reporting an unusual issue with Android Auto. The steering wheel music controls are malfunctioning, skipping two tracks at a time instead of one.

The problem occurs when using the "next" or "previous" track buttons. Instead of advancing by a single song, the system jumps ahead by two. This happens with both wired and wireless Android Auto connections.

Users say the bug isn't tied to any specific music app—it appears in both Spotify and YouTube Music. Many owners note that Samsung Galaxy phones seem most affected, though a clear correlation with phone models hasn't been confirmed.

Interestingly, when Android Auto is disabled and a standard Bluetooth connection is used instead, the steering wheel buttons work correctly. This suggests the issue lies with Android Auto's software, not the vehicle's electronics.

The Android Auto team has acknowledged the glitch and is gathering user data. No timeline for a fix has been announced yet.
