You did not read the original post for comprehension.  The poster complains that auto takes over the car's radio and turns it off.  The poster did not say that he has a problem keeping the auto app connected.  I have the same problem recently.  Google will not allow me to listen to over the air radio for more than a couple of of minutes, and then shuts it off (the car radio, whether satellite or terrestrial) and then insists that any audio I hear comes exclusively via internet, through and controlled by and monitored by the google android auto app.
