Describe the feature/enhancement

I would love if the currently playing chapter title could be displayed in Android Auto. There is a lot of empty space underneath the book title where this could be displayed.

Came here looking to see if this was an option. Having just the book title show for every chapter is not as helpful as the chapter, especially when the cover art usually is enough to tell which book it is. Ideally, I would love if it displayed as:
Book_Title
Ch #: Chapter_Title

Thought I would add a couple screenshots.
Android 10, Android App version 0.9.74-beta, server ABS v2.10.1.
Book is a collection of MP3s, 1 per chapter. Book was downloaded to local in app storage (default storage on android 10).

Android Auto

Also, Book title was used in the playlist/queue, not chapter titles.

Where in the code is the android auto screen built up? In theory, this would be an easy first time contribution no?
