Playing Android phone music with Android Auto

DPG · Sep 3, 2025

Hi,

Got the later type multimedia system and it's working fine with Spotify via voice control. What I'm struggling with is setting spotify to play music that is locally stored on my phone.

I've got the tracks available in Spotify on the local folder, and I can play them on my phone easily. What I'm struggling to do is get Spotify to play them through Androis Auto. I've tried saying 'play local music', 'play stored music' and loads more variations but no luck.

Any one had success with this? Most google searches suggest installing various different apps and with varying degrees of success.

Cheers,
Daz

I have a Samsung A13 moblie phone, although when connected via Android Auto the Samsung music player doesn't display I can still play music from my phone on Samsung Music folder and it comes through the speakers fine. I use the phone holder on the windscreen to select the music or just play the album of choice

Thanks, I'll try the Samsung music player. Although I was trying to avoid having to control things with the phone ideally.
