Is Deezer cheating on audio quality in Android Auto?

I have Hifi quality set for all connectivity options.

Whenever I start listening through Android Auto on the phone I see no Hifi badge on the track cover on the playback screen.

If I then skip the track with steering wheel buttons I still don't see the Hifi badge but if I skip with a phone (continuing android auto playback) Hifi badge appears. 

Is this just a UI glitch with missing badge, or are not having Hifi in AA?
