Can We Get an Android Auto Car App?

<< < (2/2)

It is not a separate app. You plug your phone into your head unit that runs Android Auto and you control it with the head unit’s screen.

Ok that's not an Android Auto app. I may as well just use Bluetooth audio to my car since that's at least is hands free.  Now back to my original question.  Why can't we get a true MC Android Auto app?  Has this never been looked at and put in the "too hard to do pile"?  Not enough users requesting it?  What???

JimH:
They are both "true" Android apps.  You might try them to learn more.

I don't think you understand how Android Auto works. It's completely controlled by your phone, the car is just a renderer. Most have wired connections, more recent ones are wireless. You can't install third party apps on your head unit (unless it's an aftermarket android head unit or car PC). Spotify comes pre-installed from the factory on some head units (this has nothing to do with Android Auto) because they have $multi-billion agreements with the car makers and head unit manufacturers.

As Jim said they are both android auto apps. When used with a compatible head unit the app appears on the head unit and you control it from there.
How is Bluetooth hands free? Do you use voice control to choose your music?
