Android Auto

SendSpin Player works with Android Auto, letting you browse your library and control playback from your car’s infotainment system.

No special configuration is needed. When you connect your phone to an Android Auto-compatible car:

  1. SendSpin Player appears in the list of media apps
  2. Tap to open and browse your library
  3. Playback controls appear on the car’s display

Your Music Assistant library is available through the Android Auto media browser:

  • Albums, Artists, Playlists
  • Recently Played
  • Radio Stations

Standard media controls on your car’s display:

  • Play / Pause
  • Previous / Next track
  • Album artwork display
  • Track title and artist info

Use Google Assistant to search your library:

  • “Play [artist name]”
  • “Play [album name]”
  • “Play [song name]“

View and manage the current playback queue from the car display.

If you have a standalone Android head unit (not Android Auto), you can force the app into Head Unit layout mode from Settings:

  • Large, glanceable controls optimized for driving
  • Oversized touch targets
  • Simplified single-column layout
  • “Up Next” queue peek showing the next 3 tracks

See Car Head Units for more details.
