Android Auto setting phone to do not disturb on 7.1

[skinnemuva]

Hi,

I am using a device with 7.1 with Android Auto version 2.1.7#### and when I connect to my car it sets my phone to the "Do not Disturb" setting and it wont' show me when I get new texts. Does anyone know a work around for this? A google search hasn't' really provided me an answer that works.

Thanks!
