Default Android Auto question

If this has been asked and answered somewhere before, I apologize.
If you could direct me to that thread it would be helpful as I am not sure how to ask this question and my searching came up empty handed

Every time I start up my truck I get the "When safe, unlock your phone to start Android auto". How do I get rid of this screen so I can use AA when I tell it to, not when it wants to?
I listen to OTA radio more than I use AA, I probably use AA less than once a month, I still want it available easily when I do use it, but having to push "Exit" every time I start my truck is annoying

Is there a forescan change I can make or....?

21 F-150 SYNC 4 with AA

Do you have this enabled in the Android Auto settings on your phone?

Graygoose, thank you for the quick reply.
I think I may have stated it incorrectly. I do not want AA to start until I tell it to, if I want to use it. I listen to local radio 99% of the time so I just want SYNC 4 to start without that dang AA screen popping up.

In Sync, goto phone settings and select the phone/media buttons. Leave AA unchecked.
Then in AA, set it to "If used on the last drive" or "Default (set by the car)".
