I've had good luck with Metro/Retro.
Metro didn't show up in android auto for me.
I am trying out Metro now and it looks great. I had to enable developer options in Android Auto and then "allow apps from unknown sources". Metro then works very will in Android Auto. Good luck!
I'm pretty new to some of this, did you have to enable these in the car or on the phone?
No problem at all! You will need to enable developer options in the Android Auto app on your phone. Find the AA app, then scroll to the bottom where it says "version and permission info". Tap on that section about 7 times until you see a message saying that you have enabled developer options. Then go to the three dots in the right top corner and you will now see developer settings listed there. Open this and enable "unknown sources". All your non-Google-playstore apps should now show up in your Android Auto, permitted they support AA that is (Metro music player does). Good luck!!
Thanks. Can confirm this works well. Nice to see when you do this it gives a list of all the apps that now have support - for me it's Harmony (github) and Spotube (pstor). Now to see what they look like in the car! Many thanks for the info.
Thank you! Trying out Metro now.
