It changes my screen rotation settings. Wouldn't be a problem if they were to return back to normal when the phone is disconnected from the stereo. Also when the phone is disconnected from the stereo it don't shut the app off or have a way to close it out. Only way to make my phone not think it's still connected is to disable the app. Fix these problems please cuz its not user friendly till then.

I now have matshmallow, which is great, but the app crashes on boot... Before the 6 update the touch controls over bt are just horrible entering an adress for driving just didn't work, the mouse cursor emulation is horrid. There has to be a more elegant way, I hope you can fix it.
