     In order to 'find' the 'Developer options', they have to be *enabled*   
   first:   
      
   For Fokke (and other Samsung users):   
      
     Settings -> About phone -> Software information -> tap the 'Build   
   number' seven times -> enter your PIN, etc. -> Presto! The 'Developer   
   options' will now be at the bottom of your main Settings menu.   
      
     Now you'll find 'Default USB configuration' in the Developer options   
   menu. Just search (use the magnifying glass icon at the right-top) for   
   the setting, because it's a very long list to browse through.   
      
     And, as 's|b' mentioned, you can set the 'Default USB configuration'   
   to 'Transferring files / Android Auto'.
