Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I would like there to be an option to have Audiobookshelf automatically disable the sleep timer while connected to Android Auto. I love the sleep timer and I use it regularly, but I often have to drive while it is active and I have to then regularly shake my phone to prevent it from pausing.

Why would this be helpful?

It would make it so there is less distractions while driving.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

A toggle button to enable and disable this feature would fit in nicely with the other sleep timer options.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.79

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
