AntennaPod's Next chapter takes the second button slot, where it shows

car: alerts from hosted apps show on the car screen

Waze asks whether a reported hazard is still there with an alert, and

Gearslip leaves the phone's screen once the car's screen is up

The car opens Gearslip on the phone each time it connects, over USB or
through auto-connect. Once video is up it now moves to the background,
unless the phone was already showing it or a question needs the driver.

Older head units (2017 Pilot, 2020 Civic, 2024 Mirage) never show our
screen while the media channel is closed, which it is when music goes
over Bluetooth. If the screen hasn't come 5 seconds after asking, open
the channel and ask again.
