This list is incomplete... If you go to the playstore, search for "a" or "e" and select "Android auto" instead of "This device", you'll see the full list:

 

Yeah I had saved that link too but it’s clearly incorrect / incomplete. I don’t know that there is an easy way to see a complete list, since even the “See all apps” in the car is missing some.

 

That is odd. Perhaps its too early in the ecosystem and they don't want everyone knowing how sparse it is; you'd think they'd make the complete list easy to find and searchable without trouble!

 

My guess is the “all apps” list in the car is populated by hand and they (Google? Polestar? both?) haven’t gotten around to hooking up one end or the other of a proper query API, since regular search works fine if you know what you’re looking for.

 

Never saw the BBC app before. That is new for me. Hope it is available in Canada.
Wonder why when you search all apps it leaves a bunch out?

 

The BBC sounds app isn't available in Switzerland which is annoying. It's generally available in the main app stores. I'm not sure how that lands, if it's down to the BBC, Google or Polestar

 

As far as I can tell, no matter what region, the BBC Sounds app won't appear until you're on P2.0 and your car has checked into Play Store at least once.

 

That doesn’t seem to be the case. It’s just not available.

 

I think you are misleading... The list is specifically for Android Auto apps and not AAOS (as stated in the filter).

 

?

 

The “Google Podcasts” app was on the car prior to the 2.2 upgrade; but gone now. I can use Google Assistant to command podcasts to play; or CarPlay app now. Does anyone know a trick to get the Google Podcasts app back into the P2 infotainment system?

 

Google Podcasts wasn't loaded or available on my car prior to 2.2 and still isn't. I could/can use Hey Google, play last podcast style commands which work but it's actually playing on my phone via bluetooth....

 

I had the Google Podcasts app on the car; I suspect that by connecting either my Android or iPhone, it installed on its own. I've never seen it in the Play Store as an option, but it was definitely on the car for me to play without phone connected. Now I can no longer figure out how to get it back.

 

Doesn't it just appear the first time you ask Google to play a Podcast?

 

Is that what happened for you? I’ve tried this many times and no luck.

 

Google Podcasts has always worked for me with audio commands, but I only saw the UI once about a year ago. It magically appeared and was there for one drive and then I've never seen it again. I have no idea what caused it to display, and I've never seen it as an app icon or in the Play Store or in the installed apps list. So the Assistant has it built in, but it's lacking the UI and some of the resulting functionality, like downloading podcasts. It has had some weird behavior as well, like it quit understanding skip ahead/back (fast forward, whatever synonym I tried that usually works), but that seems to come and go. Right now it seems to be working pretty well.

 

Myself and @Mick have made this observation before. I have NEVER had the Google Podcasts UI in the car. It has never appeared and never worked through the phone or assistant. So I have one of the other podcast apps in the car, but would prefer to keep it all google and have an actual UI in the car.

I have used and really like Pockcasts on my android phone and am really disappointed by the version in the car. It doesn't have so many features, and I don't really see any good replacement besides maybe spotify, though I'd prefer to keep podcasts and music on different apps. Wish google would release a solid podcast app for the car, or pocketcasts actually ported more functionality.

 

100% agree; I'm using pocket casts and it's so frustrating i have to select an up next on my phone, then sync it to the car, rather than using the car interface to do it... lack of local caching / streaming only is a PITA also. i'd hoped their recent updates would address some of it; but not holding my breath - maybe i need to reduce the star rating on my review and make more comments!

 

That'll be me too...

 

Weather & Radar app now available.

 

That app is nice because you can continue to view the radar on screen while driving driving out of a storm.

 

SoundCloud is now available in the Play Store app on the car.

Also Google Podcasts can be added - in a really weird way (uninstall GoogleAssistant, reinstall it, ask assistant to open Google Podcasts, and it then appears in the list of apps - see this thread).

 

Games are now permitted in the Play Store for AAOS - Games for Android Automotive live in the Play Store

 

The other day I was sitting in my car and checking some settings and I cam across the Google Podcasts app installed in the IHU. I don't know how it was installed or who installed it because I have never used Google Podcasts, don't listen to podcasts, and I don't intend on using it either. But it's there for some unknown reason. So maybe everyone has a Google Podcasts app installed now.

 

Yeah, I think it comes with a Google Assistant update - you can 'force' it on by uninstalling the Google Assistant updates, and then updating the Google Assistant app.

You should end up with the Assistant app, plus the Podcasts app, and a News app?

Why didn’t they name the product “Google Automotive” or some such thing? The confusion from calling it Android-anything seems foolhardy.

It’s never too late to change!

Because in true Google fashion, they also use that term for something related, but different.

Google Automotive (Services), refers to them offering more a la carte options for manufacturers. Like if they wanted to only use Google Maps as the native navigation, or integrate Google Assistant, but nothing else.

 

I guess evolution isn't pretty.

Thanks
