Android Auto testing a disconnect button

Android

It seems Google is testing a smartphone disconnect button for Android Auto. It will be located in the notification area of your smartphone and will terminate the phone's connection to the wireless Android Auto.

The feature is seemingly rolling out with the Android Auto 10.6 update from the Play Store, but it seems only some beta testers have had it pop up.

Android Auto testing a disconnect button for your phone

This is a very convenient feature as so far users would need to enter Airplane mode or physically disconnect an adapter to disconnect their phone from Android Auto.

It's also convenient for people who want to switch between two Android phones while in the car.
