Current Status of Amazon Music with Android Auto - Android Auto General

I'm thinking of buying an aftermarket AA head unit. I use Amazon Music and want to use voice commands to play a playlist while driving. I want to say "Hey Google Play My Playlist (or whatever the name of the playlist) on Amazon Music" Does this work? Searching these forums seems to indicate that it doesnt. When I send that command to my Android Phone, it launches Amazon Music but doesnt start playing the playlist that I specified.

Automatically start music with bluetooth

I have the Droid Bionic, I want my Pandora and/or Music player to start playing music automatically when connected to the bluetooth on my truck. How do I set this up on my phone? Or should I check for this problem with my truck?
Market App called Automateit
Buy app called autostarts from market. Find media player in Bluetooth section disable them. Problem solved.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC
Sounds like something that can be done with Tasker. You can specify a State, that when the bluetooth is connected to a certain device (you can choose from a list of devices you're paired with) it will perform certain actions. Launching an app is pretty straightforward.
Pandora will play upon launch, but I don't know how to initiate playback in any of the main music players with Tasker. It's probably pretty easy. I think there's even a Tasker forum on this site you could ask for help.

Audio While Using Android Auto

So when I'm connected to my AVH-4100NEX, audio from Spotify works. Is this actually transmitting the audio over Bluetooth (and not USB)?
When connected, I noticed I cannot play Media audio from other apps. Why is this? Any way to get all Media audio to play when connected as Android Auto?
So far, the only advantages I'm seeing for using Android Auto vs Bluetooth audio are: Maps on screen, prettier Spotify on screen, Google Now on unit. I could do most of this with the phone itself over just Bluetooth.
Don't get me wrong, I really like it and this receiver, but it seems more limited. Perhaps it's for safety, but it's not all that much safer. In Spotify, you can't scroll through all of your library or lists "for safety", but who's to say that my passenger isn't scrolling?
I too have a 4100nex. I think music is played over Bluetooth. One way to know for sure is to disconnect the usb while it's playing.
As you said, you can't play music from other apps. There is a list of compatible apps that work with Android Auto. If it's not on that list, you can't use it. I didn't like the viewing restrictions on Google play music so I use an SD card for all of my music. I like Google maps and the texts over voice so for me, I like Android Auto for those reasons.
There is an app....... something reloaded. I can't think of the name but it will allow you to basically mirror your phone to the screen and you can access all of the apps. Good luck.

Send command to Google home to play music

Hey guys, want to be able to use "ask autovoice good morning" and have the profile trigger all shutter blinds up which I can already do but also play Spotify, whether it be Playlists or a station.
Had a look around but couldn't find anything

Spotify won't play my custom playlists through Google Assistant

So when I ask Google to play my (insert custom playlist name here) through Spotify, it will register that I'm asking for a playlist, but it'll only play some community playlist instead of mine specifically. It's a a bit frustrating considering that Android Auto will of course prevent you from scrolling through your playlists to find the one you want to play. Is there some fix that can be done to make this work, or is this just really not implemented to properly work as of yet? Thanks.

Change Default Spotify Account on Google Home

While I'm at work or out and about and using Spotify, it's not uncommon for me to get kicked off Spotify because my kids at home ask Google to play music. Our Google speakers default to my personal Spotify account - and since you can only play Spotify on one device at a time, it gives me the boot.
We have Spotify premium, and I have another generic account setup, but I can't seem to figure out how to link the Google devices to that other Spotify device. Anyone know how?
