Let a Samsung A16 switch off automatically when the charger stops charging it (and viceversa!)

My Toyota's built-in navigator is a nightmare.

I'd dedicate, instead, a Samsung A16 with Android Auto + Google Maps to replace it.The cellphone would never do anything else and would normally be always left in the car.

Is there a way to have the cellphonte switching OFF automatically when I switch off the car (and the USB cable stops charging)? Scope: to prevent the cellphone getting totally discharged if I leave it alone on the car for days (having stupidly forgot to switch it off manually).

And (less likely) what about having the cellphone switch ON when I start the car motor (and the USB cable starts charging it)?

As in the old days with a Tom Tom!

For Tasker to be able to switch off your device your device has to be rooted. If you can root your device then that will be possible. Hope this helps!

Who should I ask if a Samsung A16 with Android 14 can be rooted or not?
