Hi
Just bought a new EV, Polestar 2 that comes with Android Automotive OS deeply integrated in the car. Please note that Android Automotive isn't the same as Android Auto. Two different systems.
I'm an Apple guy and I'm wondering when you will release Apple Music for this platform. Can see in Google Play Store that I can download Apple Music for Android devices so can you please look into this matter.
Thanks
I changed now to Tidal, runs perfectly on all of my devices, even on the Apple Watch. Downloaded the app for the PS2 directly in the car, entered the login code, done. Works like a charm. Then I migrated my music library with a ugly tool (soundiiz?) once and since then I enjoy my music in the car like at home. Apple, I know that you won’t read, but: Shame on you. I will not come back. There are still 2 members in my family plan which have to create own accounts, then I will cancel my subscription, bye, bye.

Has anyone tried listening to music by opening https://music.apple.com/ in Vivaldi?
I also see that Apple made Apple Music SDK available for Android, so possibly someone can build an app for our P2s.
It is really a pity because it's easier for me to change from Apple Music to Spotify than to change my car ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tested today. Music keeps playing while driving, Im also able to change songs with buttons on the wheel.
Not ideal solution, but if someone drives far and has playlist ready it could be an option 😊
I guess that the port of Apple Music to Android Automotive would cost 5 working days. 0.1 days for porting the software and 4.9 for tests and build.
I think Apple just does not want to. Because Android Automotive is ugly or it does not fit into some political thing. Or something like this.
@Apple: I have a Polestar 2, too. I would love to see Apple Music as a native app in the car. What's the reason you just don't port it?
I had Tidal for some time but the app is buggy. Will never resume playing music where I left off. Have to start all over every time. The. Tidal app is several years old and hasn't had an upgrade for years. I contacted Tidal support 6 month ago about the bud. Noting has happened yet. So I just cancelled my subscription once again and for now I'm using Apple Music via Bluetooth in the car. Not a great option but will expect Appel CarPlay to be available soon.

That's an issue, I agree, but for me the only one. In the car I just press the `track back` button and the last song starts from the beginning. That's acceptable for me.
Well not the only issue for me. I often get a "something went wrong, please try again" and then I'm back to square one. That's not ok. I should be able to pickup where I left off no matter how long/shot time the car has been idle.
That's an interesting thought playing through Vivaldi. Will give it a try later - Thanks :)
AFAIK, vivaldi stops immediately any action, like being suspended, whenever you start driving, so it might not work. Will try it by myself in the afternoon.
I tried this. Only works in park.
This made me sign up for Spotify... I just like to be able to say: "Ok, Google, play..."
When will you release Apple Music for Android Automotive OS
