Android Automotive (the in-car OS, not to be confused with Android Auto which is the on-phone app that syncs mobile devices with vehicles) is starting to become widely adopted across manufacturers. See below for full list of supported vehicles - 2020+ Polestar 2 - 2021+ Volvo XC40 P8 - 2021+ Volvo XC40 Recharge - 2022+ GMC Hummer EV - 2022+ Renault Megane E-Tech Electric - 2022+ Volvo XC60 - 2022+ Volvo S90 - 2022+ Volvo V90 - 2022+ Volvo V90 Cross Country - 2023 Ford cars - 2023 Lincoln cars Would be great to have a native Plex app for Android Automotive to bring our music and video libraries on the road ---

Android Auto will not allow you to play video on your display… for what are probably obvious reasons! The Plex App already shows up as an option for me to use in Android Auto… I don’t use it for music though, so I’ve never tested it. ---

Hey @Dalmus - feature request is for Android Automotive, not Android Auto. ---

I have a Volvo C40 and would love an Android Automotive plex app, it would be great for music and audio books, and since volvo pays for the connectivity I wouldn’t have to use my phone’s data plan. ---

Running Plex through the browser in Polestar 2. Quality was excellent, 1080p with full surround, but would be so much easier with a native app! > **[Cowboy Bebop in Polestar 2 via Plex on Vivaldi Browser](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Zxt0uaR_-1A?feature=share)** > > Watching Cowboy Bebop on Plex server in a Polestar 2 via the Vivaldi web browser ---

I just bought a Volvo XC40 Recharge, and was disappointed to see there’s no Plex app for Android Automotive. For some strange reason, the car doesn’t support Android Auto either, so there’s no native way for me to play my Plex music in the car. There is an [unofficial app developed here](https://github.com/joeyberkovitz/plex-aaos) that is minimally functional, but it would be fantastic to get an official one. 🙏 ---

Just bumping this thread, mostly surprised there’s been so little movement on this since it was posted last April. From what I understand, pushing an Android Automotive version to the Google Play Store is basically a matter of checking a box. I can’t understand why the Android tablet build wouldn’t suit AAOS (perhaps with a few minor tweaks). Being able to put on an episode of something while waiting for my Polestar to charge would be such a clutch addition! ---

At I/O 2024, Google announced their new “Car Ready” app tier, which Plex should be able to get approved for. The developers just need to request that Google audit the app(s). > **[Applications mobiles adaptées aux voitures  |  Android Developers](https://developer.android.com/training/cars/car-ready-mobile-apps?hl=fr)** Looks like they’re only accepting Video though, so PlexAmp would need to be updated to support an AAOS media app build. ---
