I've just been in the car and it didn't auto start. I've done 2 things, and think it was the first that stopped it.

1) Went into COM and disconnected AA when I last drove. It didn't start up. Bit of a pain to have to do this the whole time.

2) Went into Google Maps on my desktop > settings and turned Driving Mode off. To be totally honest, not sure how connected AA and Google Maps are.

Just checked my mobile and note that DRIVING MODE is off on there, thought not sure if it was on before. Hopefully that might do it. But who knows? I suspect when I next turn it on, that I'll have to do the first step again.

I did note that when I turned on Bluetooth, AA automatically starts searching for connections. Too intrusive IMO

PS - to get control back for BMW nav, I have programmed nav to home in one of the preset buttons, which I can then cancel or not.
