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.
See previous pageDoes anyone have the info on where do download this app? The links in the original post don't seem to work.
Nevermind. I realized there was a newer version and everything is perfect! Best app ever!!!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.
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/skipNevermind. I realized there was a newer version and everything is perfect!

[App][5.1+][Alpha] AnyAutoAudio - Use any audio app in Auto
AnyAutoAudio So I was tired of not being able to use the audio apps I normally use in Auto and decided to try and do something about it. This app is the result :fingers-crossed: How does it work? By using the notification listener permission...forum.xda-developers.com
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?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.

P.S. if anyone has any other 3rd party app recommendations I am open to suggestions.

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.
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.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.
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 forGoogle Play music was great, but access wasn't blocked to it.

Many 3rd party apps should now be recognised by AA. I use BlackPlayerFX, SoundCloud etc without AAA nowadaysP.S. if anyone has any other 3rd party app recommendations I am open to suggestions.
I've been looking at BlackPlayer aswell. Is the premium version worth it?Many 3rd party apps should now be recognised by AA. I use BlackPlayerFX, SoundCloud etc without AAA
Thank you for contacting the Android Auto Team.
I see that there is some confusion as to why your app, AnyAutoAudio (dk.jonske.AnyAutoAudio), did not qualify for Android Auto.
After further investigation, we found your app does not qualify for Android Auto as we are currently only accepting two types of apps:
• Audio apps that allow users to browse and play music and spoken audio content in the car.
• Messaging apps that receive incoming notifications, read messages aloud via text-to-speech, and send replies via voice input in the car.
Here are some specifics regarding this issue that are present in your app:
• Your app is not a media app but a tool for other media apps. Your app allows other media apps to play in the Android Auto UI and does not play media of it's own. This functionality is not approved for Android Auto.
After you address the matter mentioned above, please submit a new version of your app and our team will gladly review it for you.
I hope I was able to provide you with some clarification. If you have further questions or concerns please reach out to us again. We will be glad to help.
I was using AnyAutoAudio with no problems then received a message telling me it was removed from google play. I came here to download the new apk and not it will not install, getting the message that the file is corrupt. Can you help me either with an older version that will install or a non corrupted version of the current apk. I really depended on this app to play my audio books through Android Auto in my car. Thank you.
I tried this with Apple Music on a Samsung Galaxy S9. It caused my Android Auto to freak out and it kept rebooting / refreshing the Android Auto interface on my car. It was an endless loop of my screen flickering until I closed out the AnyAutoAudio app. I will definitely keep an eye on this app for an update.
