Share This:

When it comes to setting a default music player on Android Auto, it’s important to have the right setup for your preferences. Android Auto is a convenient platform that allows you to connect your Android device to your car’s infotainment system, making it easier and safer to control your phone while driving.

To begin, you’ll first need to open the Settings on your Android device. Look for the “Services” option and tap on it. Within the Services menu, you’ll find the “Music” section. Tap on it to proceed.

Now, you’ll see a list of music services that are compatible with Android Auto. This is where you can choose your default music service. Tap on the music service you’d like to use as your default option. By doing this, your Android device will automatically use this service whenever you say “Hey Google, play music.”

However, if you’ve previously set a default music player and want to change it, you’ll need to follow a different set of steps. In your device’s Settings, navigate to the Apps section. Scroll through the list until you find your music player apps. Open each app one by one and perform the following steps:

1. Scroll down within the app’s settings and look for the “Set as default” option. Tap on it.
2. Once you’re in the “Set as default” section, you’ll see a button labeled “Clear Defaults.” Tap on it to remove the app as the default player.

By clearing the defaults for all your music player apps, you’re ensuring that Android Auto doesn’t automatically use a particular app as the default player.

Now, let’s move on to customizing the launcher in Android Auto. To do this, go back to the main Settings menu and find the “Connection preferences” option. Tap on it, and you’ll see a list of options related to your Android Auto connection.

Among these options, you’ll find “Android Auto.” Tap on it to proceed. Within the Android Auto settings, you’ll see a section called “Customize launcher.” Tap on this option.

Here, you’ll find a list of apps that can be displayed on the Android Auto screen. To set your default music player, simply checkmark the app or apps you want to show up on the Android Auto screen. Once you’ve made your selection, your chosen music player will be easily accessible when using Android Auto.

With these steps, you can now set your default music player on Android Auto and customize the launcher to suit your preferences. Enjoy a seamless music experience while on the road with Android Auto!
