On xda labs apps...Look on OP under Downlad :D
[Android Auto General] Inceptron:
Does that version have the like button in it's notification? I feel like the issue may be caused from this, and maybe the app is incorrectly expecting a play/pause from the second button, but it's the next track button in this case....
[Android Auto General] urphonesux:
I love this app!
[Android Auto General] an0therus3r:
I have seen you referr to GPS version before, is this some kind of app or what is it?

And what is the exact benefit of this app because currently if i play audio via any app on my phone i hear it via AA just can't control it via AA.

(My apologies if this has been answered before, did not read whole thread)
[Android Auto General] :
I think the only real benefit is the control button play/pause/next etc in the new aa ui..
[Android Auto General] drnightshadow:
lol yes you should read the whole thread before posting :rolleyes:

well GPS = Google Play Services :p

Thanks for the developer

Kudos to the developer, its works perfectly.

Using latest android auto and 1.1 version of the app.

Only drawback is that it is not displaying on android auto when opened on mobile, but when connected to car unit it perfectly displays and performs all activities mentioned by developer.

Even Wynk music app is working.

Getting "this app keeps stopping" since today"s AA update, but it seems to work, got Soundcloud working fine, including next track steering wheel control, though mute crashes something as cars native media screen appears but selecting AA again and it's working straight away. (Android 10)

[Android Auto General] JMak00:
Is this app working on the updated AA interface? Thanks in advance for all the work on this app...wish I had learned of it sooner.
[Android Auto General] IronRoo:
I updated AA a few days ago but I thought it hadn't installed properly as there was no icon in apps, I assumed some licensing issue or something as I downloaded it over a vpn in another country (turns out it is because they haven't implemented the AA phone version). Anyhow my son plugged it into car and AA appeared, I assumed it was old one, but later msg popped up saying "try the new AA layout" & sure enough it was working. Also the AAA was showing on the home screen. It didn't seem to be working & crashed. But he turned developers option on in AA & reopened & went through AAA set up again and it's working (with soundcloud on Android 10), but think you have to have it running first or in background ie. a recent app Haven't had time to check it properly myself though as I was driving, but I could jump forwards or back using steering wheel controls.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

PS. This is another great little app that keeps AA in day mode if you switch on the lights during the day eg at sunset. (though it wasn't working just now not sure if it's Android 10, new AA or the vpn set to foreign country that has stopped it, but might still work on some phones)

[Android Auto General] pavichokche:
Just like IronRoo mentioned, I'm having issues with this otherwise AWESOME app. I'm on Android Pie, not 10, and trying to use AAA for Soundcloud/YT Vanced. It works sometimes, but other times it won't work and keeps crashing (my phone will tell me that the app keeps restarting). These issues are only related to how it works in the HEAD UNIT mode, not on my phone. While using AA on my phone, everything seems to work perfectly.

Here are the two main issues:

1. Soundcloud constantly gets 'unticked' from the list of pinned apps

2. If I have another app playing music, switching to AAA within the head unit AA interface will almost always cause issues. Most often it's just a neverending 'loading' screen trying to get to the list of pinned apps.

jvvpc, I'm sure you're very busy, but please consider taking a look at these recent issues with the newer android versions and the new interface.
[Android Auto General] chodorenko:
Howe enable autostart sound app if app not started? AAA write not connect to yandex music, need open app manually. Its no good
[Android Auto General] palmbeach05:
Idk, but if you have to open the app manually, stop complaining and just do it. Remember, the dev hasn't provided an update in a long time

AnyAutoAudio

hi i just installed anyautoaudio and I can't access the developer servings. Please help
[Android Auto General] contractubex:
Works!

I just tested this with latest AA up to date and YoutubeVanced. It works, you can play and pause at any time from the steering wheel, but you cant skip or play previous unless the phone is unlocked!

I think this is a limitation with YoutubeVanced!

Big thanks to the author!
[Android Auto General] elflois:
Hey, I tried the app and it works, well kind of, I'm using it with soundcloud and as I said it works, y can play /stop skip songs through AA in my phone, but after a couple of songs it doesn't recognize soundcloud anymore and I have to play music again from the notification bar, do I have to do something else? I tried disabling the battery saver from AA anyauto and soundcloud but the problem still persist
[Android Auto General] Suliroid:
It's works! I test it with SoundCloud.

[Android Auto General] Davetheboss:
You are a beast, gentleman, and a scholar.

Thank you for this download.

I can now play youtube vanced music and soundcloud through this app.

This is AWESOME!
[Android Auto General] honeycombgoodyeahyeahyeah:
I know its an old post but I just found it, to enable dev settings on the newest android auto, you have to go to settings on the companion app and click "Version" until it lets you be a dev.
[Android Auto General] TSPtspTSP:
You rock! I couldn't figure out what I was missing since I have factory reset my S20 5g. AAA Still the best tool utility for AA. FREEDOMMMM!

[Android Auto General] lordarach:
This is brilliant! Is there any chance you could take a look at Audify Music Player? It only lets me control via phone rather than car screen. I'd be happy to donate toward the cause.
[Android Auto General] NetSkipper:
So I've used AnyAutoAudio for Radio Caprice app.. All in all it works fine, I can see the song names, etc.. but in some occasions it stopped working.

Outgoing call from AA did that, and some sequence when I'm turning off the car and trying to connect the next day.

I guess that the app is no longer mantained and updated.. It's a shame, a really good app.
[Android Auto General] lordarach:
Nevermind. I realized there was a newer version and everything is perfect! Best app ever!!!
[Android Auto General] prot-:
I don't know why but when using Mixcloud and SoundCloud with this, most of the time the bass frequency is turned all the way down. Doesn't make sense?
[Android Auto General] masterain98:
Is 0.0.4 the latest version? It seems not working in the latest AA.

Update: NM found the apk from the thread.
[Android Auto General] Phil Olenick:
I accidentally discovered yesterday that I could play Android BubbleUPnP on my phone through my 2021 Camry's Android Auto connection simply by making sure that I had selected an Android Auto audio app on the car's display with nothing chosen to play.

Choosing Amazon Music with no music selected works for this. TuneIn Radio is more of a problem, since If any station is selected, turning up the car stereo's volume control will start that station playing and hijack the car stereo. If there's nothing selected to play, the Android Auto app will stay out of the way and I can use the car stereo's volume control to control Android BubbleUPnP. I still have to use the phone's controls to choose tracks and control their play.
[Android Auto General] maxthibault_:
Hey, I know it's been a minute, but can you explain exactly how you fixed this problem? I'm using audify as well and I can't seem to get the car screen buttons to work and I have to open my phone to pause/skip
[Android Auto General] pavichokche:
I believe this is the newest version:

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-5-1-alpha-anyautoaudio-use-any-audio-app-in-auto.3607916/post-84048033
[Android Auto General] maxthibault_:
Thanks for the reply.

I already have this version installed. (0.1.1)

I think Audify has a problem specifically because it's notification has more buttons than standard. As you can see in the pictures I attached, Audify has a heart button to favorite a song, while Samsung music just has skip and pause buttons. This is just what my logic has told me since I can't see any other reason why it wouldn't work.

I've been digging through the app settings and I haven't found anything that might fix this. I'm very tempted to switch to Samsung music but I'd lose all the bonus features of this 3rd party app.

Audify:

Samsung Music:

P.S. if anyone has any other 3rd party app recommendations I am open to suggestions.
[Android Auto General] pavichokche:
See I would agree with you, however AAA works with Sporify and that has almost the exact same notification layout as the images you attached. Have you tried 'pinning' the app in AAA?

Anyway, I can definitely recommend Samsung Music. It's very good, and has a dedicated Android Auto app, so you don't even need AAA.
[Android Auto General] maxthibault_:
AAA doesn't even recognize it as a music app so I can't pin it unfortunately, and there isn't any way to select apps that it doesn't automatically detect.

If there was some way to edit which apps are recognized as music apps that would fix it I'm sure.

I'm only hesitant to switch to Samsung because I am coming from Google play music and I can't believe how they totally banned all access to that app. I would prefer a smaller third party app that I know won't suddenly die on me.
[Android Auto General] pavichokche:
Google Play music was great, but access wasn't blocked to it. Google themselves just completely killed it in order to replace it with youtube music. I think Samsung music isn't going anywhere as long as Samsung is in business.
[Android Auto General] maxthibault_:
Yeah that's basically what I meant. It was working fine they could have just stopped updating it but instead they decided to remove it completely, even installing old versions wouldnt work anymore. I'll probably look for something on the app store that works since Samsung music isn't exactly what I'm looking for
[Android Auto General] IronRoo:
Many 3rd party apps should now be recognised by AA. I use BlackPlayerFX, SoundCloud etc without AAA nowadays
[Android Auto General] maxthibault_:
I've been looking at BlackPlayer aswell. Is the premium version worth it?
[Android Auto General] ls13silvia:
Was working fine up until few days ago. Not sure what happened but when connecting through USB, I use to always get prompted which app I wanted to open with usb (obd2aa, AAA, etc.). Now, my phone does a little flash and nothing happens. This is with clearing cache and all data/restarting phone.

Anybody else? Note 10+
[Android Auto General] estebantet:
Hi. I'm using this to control Kobo audiobooks. It shows on the screen but I cannot make the buttons to work. I just press pause, back or forward and nothin happens. How can I fix this? Is there another way without rooting to make this app accessible on AA?

Thank you.

[Android Auto General] IronRoo:
Sorry, not sure to be honest, I can't remember what bits are premium features, I've had it so long.
[Android Auto General] maxthibault_:
Actually I went through and tested several of the 3rd party apps on the play store and I ended up sticking with is called Musicolet. It's free and it's really good in my opinion. It offers a ton of advanced control for the layouts and pretty much everything can be visually customized if you take the time to do it. Haven't had any problems with it, and it has an android auto app built in, so you don't even need AAA
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
I can also recommend Musicolet. I use this music player since 2017.
[Android Auto General] rozel:
Hi

Downloaded and installed AAA (I believe the latest option) and I think it works as intended with AA. It does have "advanced settings" but these are greyed out.

I am currently using a small DAC which plugs into my phone (S21) with a jack-plug cable connecting the other side to the aux-in on my car. I get great results but no art work or play-back controls are available. My phone uses UAPP (USB Audio Player Pro) to play my downloaded TIDAL music and works and sounds really good.

So I tried the other day to connect through Android Auto having already installed AnyAutoAudio on my phone, following the instructions very carefully. I think it works but need to know how my phone is connecting to AA. Yes I've connected via USB but I was told Bluetooth needs to be on and as I experienced drop-outs, soon after leaving my property, I switched on Cellular Data. That improved things. But now I don't know what connection AA is using, USB, Bluetooth, Cellular Data or even WiFi.

What I want is for UAPP to feed my car's Infotainment system using that system's DAC. Getting no messages via UAPP telling me what DAC it's connecting to so I'm reaching out here for some help and guidance please. I'm not sure how AA works and cannot find anything online. But seemingly AAA is delivering the ability to use UAPP so that's good. Not sure the connection order for evrything either - maybe someone using UAPP here can help here too.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] IronRoo:
With a new phone like S21 you could connect to AA via wifi if your car supports wifi (or your custom AA head unit does?). Else AA connects using both USB & Bluetooth, data is for the phone connection to your cellular network, you should normally have it on so phone can download map, traffic data etc.

Unfortunately AAA doesn't seem to work properly due to changes made by Google to newer OS versions, but at least AA now supports more apps. Emil (see also modified version on github) has another app (Gateway) you can use with custom (only?) headunits over wifi, or there is Motorola MA1 dongle you can buy to use with cars that have AA built in to convert USB car to support wifi connection to your phone.
[Android Auto General] pavichokche:
How does AAA not work for you? I still continues to work flawlessly for me on my S21 with OneUI 5.0, with the new coolwalk UI too.

Is there any way that this would allow us to defeat the insane google play music limitation of browsing for artists/albums?
[Android Auto General] balabok:
Can't download

I can't download this from the Playstore. I get an incompatible device error. I have a Note 3. Is there another source where i can download the apk?
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
I have also had various issues with Auto 2.3. I have tried to reach the team at Google as some of them even breaks dev mode, but nothing heard so far :)

Hmmm, not as I can think of at the moment. The best I would be able to do is access the same browser service that Play Music uses, but that would just give the same limitation. This feature is coming in a later version though, to browse different music apps :)

Due to functionality in the app, the minimum level of Android required is 5.1 (SDK 22). The Play Store lists the Note 3 as max Android 5.0 (SDK 21), and therefore blocks it.
[Android Auto General] eagleeyetom:
Can you attach the APK to your first post? It would help avoid the compatibility issues.

Great idea BTW :)

[MENTION=1398608]jvvpc[/MENTION] could you provide a bigger size banner? I would like to give your app some recognition :)
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
APK attached :good:

Wow, thank you! I should say that i'm rewriting some core parts right now, so it won't be necessary to run the app when choosing music apps, but just play and open Auto :)

Is this fine? http://jonske.dk/cover.png

Any way to add non-play store installed versions of music apps? Example - web-installed Blacked Out version of Pandora

Any ability to add "video" apps as well, the way Google Maps is displayed? Example - DashCommand

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
If they create a mediasession in Android, there is no problem. Chrome is tested and works :)

Did you install from the APK directly? If so you need to allow unknown sources in Auto:

In the Android Auto app, tap the Hamburger menu.

Tap About.

Tap About Android Auto header 10 times, until a toast appears thar says "Developer mode enabled".

Now you can access developer mode by selecting the overflow menu dots on the top right of the handheld screen.

Select Developer settings from the overflow menu and check unknown sources.

There should be no difference if the apps are installed from the store or not. As long as a mediasession exists there is no problem :)

Video apps are not allowed by Google and not supported in the SDK.
[Android Auto General] LifeAsADroid:
Thanks for info about developer settings in android auto. ?

However I'm still not able to use Pandora in any auto audio app. When trying to select apps to allow use in android auto, Pandora is not listed. Please see screen shot. Perhaps not showing up due to Pandora already being an android auto approved app? I'm noticing other apps not showing up as well in any auto audio (iheartradio, cloudplayer are examples).
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
Yea auto approved apps are filtered away. Not all apps are able to being detected and managed as they dont use mediasessions. But I am rewriting the core of the app so there will be no more list, but instead it will connect to any running session. This should help on both issues :)
[Android Auto General] Captain_Throwback:
There's already a workaround to get a sideloaded version of Pandora (or Spotify) to appear in Android Auto. Apps that are natively supported shouldn't need this app.
[Android Auto General] invertedskull:
Works with Poweramp! Yay! But as someone else noticed I didn't know how to use voice to control playing or selecting music. If I ask "OK Google, play ARTIST album, ALBUM NAME" then GPM takes over and plays. So can I confirm that I would need to have Poweramp (or another app) running, then say "OK Google, play"? And that would continue what I was previously playing in Poweramp?

Also, I saw someone ask if this would get us a workaround the limiting safety restrictions of Android Auto. I don't believe this is possible, but would still love to hear the dev's answer. :)

EDIT: Sorry, my bad... it DOESN'T work in Poweramp. At least the alpha version I am using (alpha-build-704-uni). I suspect it's just cos I'm on alpha. What is happening is it all looks great, but the play and seek back and forward buttons are not responsive. Speaking "OK Google, play" gets a verbal confirmation response, but still nothing plays. So I've gone back to GPM until I have time to put a non-alpha version of Poweramp on my phone.
[Android Auto General] LifeAsADroid:
Worked beautifully, thanks. Needed the "idiots guide to side-loading AA apps" step-by-step instructions on page three of that thread since I'm a n00b with ADB, but worked perfectly. Thanks much. :good:

Can I voice search songs on this mod??
[Android Auto General] mkollersms:
Attempted with MX Player Pro, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be taking. I have it configured to background play but I think the way MX handles notifications is causing the issue.
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
I'll look into the Poweramp control :)

For the voice part, only "play" should work now, if the session is paused. For searching songs, i need browsing access to the different apps. Some might allow, others not. The feature will be implemented later and with some sort of UI telling if it is possible in an app :)

Thanks! I'll look into Apple music :)

I'll have a look at it :)

I'll have a look at wynk. For voice search, see my answer above :)
