Hi burnernotworking,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you'd like to know if you can access Apple Music in your car with your Android.


If your car has a Bluetooth or USB port, you can listen to music via your car stereo as outlined here: Play music and podcasts in your car


"Ways to listen

Here are a few ways you can listen to audio in your car:

  • If your car has Bluetooth, you can pair your iPhone to your car.
  • If your car has a USB port, you can use a Lightning cable to connect your iPhone to your vehicle.
  • If you have an Android device and subscribe to Apple Music, connect your Android device to your car to play audio using Android Auto.
  • If Apple Music or Apple Podcasts is built into your vehicle, you can listen to music and podcasts without pairing your phone. Open the app from your car's display panel, then follow the onscreen instructions to sign in to your Apple ID that you use with Apple Music and Apple Podcasts. To complete setup, enter the verification code that you receive on your phone."


Enjoy your new car!


Cheers!

Hi burnernotworking,


Since you'll be using Android Auto, we can't say for sure. What we can do is provide how Apple CarPlay works:

Music
Play music from your Library. If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can also browse and stream music from the Apple Music catalog, get music recommendations in For You, and more.

From: Play music and podcasts in your car


What you'll need to do is contact Android Auto support, check the vehicle's user guide, or ask the car salesman how Android Auto works with an Apple Music subscription.


We did find a link for Android Auto Support, which may get you started.


Take care!
