I have almost the same issue. In the past when connecting my Android phone with my car, it normally started to play where I ended the last time.

Favourites, an artist or an album, it used to start where I last listed to.

Now it doesn’t and I have to start Deezer myself by using the screen in my car.

I drive a Ford Fiesta 2022 with Synch3.

it is most like because of AA. yesterday same happened for youtube music. black screen and touch to open. AA isnt able to start music apps properly and get the song info. but software developers should work on it. what changes happened at the last Aa update and how to solve, even they have to ask AA technical team.

at the moment there is only one solution, you should start deezer on phone before getting into the car.

When did the issue start for you? mine was about december 15 th

I try to understand which ones new update has caused all that, AA or deezer

I’m having the same issue. Used to be able to click last played on android auto, but Deezer is no longer remembering what was last paying on the car screen.

Pixel 6 Pro, Hyundai Sante Fe 2023

is everyone on Android Auto 13.4.6450 (released on January 3, 2025), or a different version?

I’m Android Auto 13.3.644654 (latest version available on play store in Canada), deezer - 8.0.28.4

​@mdmrx I really don’t know when, but it isn’t that long ago.

I’m on AA 13.3.644654.

I’m on AA 13.3.644654 too

deezer - 8.0.28.4

yours is newer.. but still you have the issue.. no change then.

just checked the updates. no new one at the moment for us. 

phone: one plus nord n10 5g..android 11

There is no update for me yet (The Netherlands, Europe).

Are there Deezer users that have other music streaming services besides Deezer and are they having the same issues? I only have Deezer, so I can’t check.

I didn’t say anywhere that I still have the issue. That’s why i asked what version everyone was on, as I am on 13.4, which I believe is the redesigned media player, and I’m not having any problems.

Sorry for misunderstanding. Hope we will get 13.4 soon n see what happens.

I said youtube music has the same issue on screen. So problem is most like from AA. It isnt able to get info from music apps. Wondering about spotify. 

If they change the place of data source in the aa software, either they must tell that or music platforms should find.

A fix has been prepared on Deezer side and will be deployed in the next version

Pocketcasts works with last played and progress displayed on android auto.

Hi ​@greg_deezer! Thank you so much for your help!

last deezer update hasnt fixed the issue.

I think we must see an update from AA too

For now it's in Beta version.

The fix is in v8.0.30.4

thank you ​@greg_deezer for the update

if I dont remove-close deezer completely and the app is running at backround, there is no problem. everytime I get into my car Aa starts auto, as connected it shows last song info.

in the past it used to get the info in any way. maybe Aa cant read cache memory of the deezer app. and cant get the song info etc..

today I connected my phone with usb cable, no change.. so speed or wifi or else dont cause the problem. problem is one of the apps, deezer or AA.

(yesterday I also wanted to downgrade apps to find out the problem but when I downgraded deezer, AA didnt see it as a default and compitable app for AA.. When I wanted to downgrade AA, android didnt allow it because Aa is always in phone and when there is a newer version, it isnt allowed to install older one.)

I feel something with the cache data or AA accessing updated data must be the problem. I still have the same issue, but also, none of my playlist will update. Even if I update a playlist on my phone and refresh, Android Auto will play a previous version of the playlist, even if those songs no longer exist on it.

today I tried my wife’s phone poco x5 with andr 14. same issue. if the last song stays on phone it starts auto, if not, a blank window, no deezer connection. here are the photos.

blank window.. no song data

I  never allow an app stay at backround, always tap bottom square button of the phone and clean-remove all apps used recently.. although that, AA used to take the last song info and I could play the song 

Which version of the app are you on?

8.0.29.5 and AA 13.3.644654-release

Yes so it's "normal" since the fix is in 8.0.30.4 (only available for beta users for now)

doe it all happen because of deezer or AA? it must be AA because youtube music is giving the same issue.

but I dont know if AA has changed some software source and music apps must make their app compitable to AA.

thank you for your efforts

Last song issue is fixed using the beta for me! Just need to check playlist updating as well when I can.
