Describe the feature/enhancement
It would be very nice if the Android automotive os (not Android auto) would be supported.
@rnocx commented on GitHub (Dec 30, 2023):
i second this! alot of current cars uses google automotive OS and has it's on list of applications,

My very little understanding of this is that it's not particularly difficult to port an app over to be compartible with AAOS. There's some manifest items that require updating... beyond this, I don't believe there's much to do. There is certainly something to do though: https://source.android.com/docs/automotive

From the little testing i did earlier this year, i got it running in the automotive sdk but it might need to be a seperate application because some of the commands cannot be in the same application for like Android Auto and Android Automotive.
Will do some more testing during the summer if i have the time to test.

Any luck with this? Im pretty much basing my next car off whether this gets going
@HikariNoKitsune commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2025):
I am extremely confused now... I bounce back n forth between audible and ABS depending on if it's a new book series I'm starting or an existing. Legit just a few months ago, I was listening to two books using ABS, and using android auto... It was working fine and was very nice. Then yesterday I went to listen to an older book I had, and suddenly android auto wasn't an option in the "auto apps" screen... Did this get removed? Or was I teleported to an alternative universe where the android auto support never existed?
This has me very confused... As I only listen to my audio books in the car... And have been using ABS for about a year now through android auto...
@rnocx commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2025):
Not related to the issue. but as far as i am aware android auto support has not been removed.
@rnocx commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2025):
I have yet to test in an actual car but in the SDK it's working but still needs some more tweaking, but real life has come in the way.
I hope to restart the project in the next few weeks also need to get my self a paid google developer account to be able to test in the car because in my volvo XC40 i am not able to sideload apk's.
@xFaultx commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2025):
You're mistaken. Android automotive and Android Auto are two different
things. Android Auto is an app that runs from your phone when you connect
your phone to your head unit in your car. Android automotive is a android
OS that's installed directly into your head unit that works independent
from your phone. It has its own app store with very limited apps. App
developers have to implement support for their apps to be available for
Android automotive. A lot of car manufacturers have removed Android Auto
support, in favor of Android automotive. Android automotive is much worse

I personally am aware they are different that's also why they require different coding to support.
My car Volvo XC40 (fully electric) actually just got Android Auto as well but as i dont have an android phone i cannot test.
Once i managed to run full tests in the SDK i might have to release a ABS (AAOS) version which is specific to Android Automotive.
@JFPCreations commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):
If you have an APK ready, I can test it in my Chevy Equinox EV with Android automotiv.
@TheGeka commented on GitHub (Apr 27, 2025):
@roniez If you need someone to help you test i volunteer my Polestar 2, tho they disabled sideloading so it has to be through the app store
@dakotadorn12 commented on GitHub (Aug 13, 2025):
I may also be able to sideload an APK into my Chevy Equinox EV. Please let me know if you need assistance. Would love to get this running.
@bhboyle commented on GitHub (Nov 10, 2025):
I would be happy to help in any way I can. I have. GM that is only Android Automotive OS
