Why can’t I see visual alerts in the background on Android Auto?
It is not possible to display visual alerts in the background on Android Auto due to system limitations.
Android Auto does not allow overlays, floating windows, or visual elements over other apps. For safety reasons, only navigation instructions from the active navigation app can be shown on screen.
For this reason, Radarbot cannot display floating visual alerts when used alongside other apps in Android Auto.
You can still receive sound alerts while using another navigation app.
This restriction depends entirely on Android Auto, not Radarbot.
