Android Automotive app for Volvo/polestar etc

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion! I will pass it on to the right team and they will get in touch with Volvo :)

Any progress about this app, yet?

at this moment only Spotify and TuneIn is available 

so before Tidal or Apple Music will come before Deezer 

Hey any Deezer employee here????? Please tell us when Deezer will be available on the Android Automotive platform as is used in Polestar/Volvo cars!! We are waiting for answers……………..

Yes deeezer, it’s time to get back to us about this. I will jump over to Spotify now. Been waiting to long

Hi Deezer,

I received my new Polestar car yesterday and was very, véry surprised not to find the Deezer app in Android Automotive OS. Spotify is there (of course), but also Tidal… yet you are nowhere to be found!!

How is this possible?
Please do not force me to switch to Spotify just because you are unwilling to create an Android Automotive version of your app?! More and more cars will use this OS (https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/23/googles-android-automotive-os-is-coming-to-honda-cars-in-2022) so please don’t stay behind on this one!!

Regards,

Raf.

Any update? Just got a new Volvo and am quite surprised to see only Spotify available to me. Do I really have to cancel my subscription to Deezer and move to Spotify? 

Sorry everyone for the time being we won’t support Android Automotive, but keep voting for the idea and it might be implemented in the future!

  Hey @Alain Senechal 

  It'll take some time but we're ahead of the curve on this one, for a change 

  Thank you for your loyalty and support!

Following @Yula disappointing answer I've taken a subscription with Spotify. Not what I wanted at all, but if Deezer aren't interested to support this, I've no choice.

Hey @Keysersoze79 @dc2.0 , we are not abandonind the project, we are still interested in supporting this, but it’s we have other priorities at the moment so it will take still some time, sorry! 

Okay, well this is a pretty disappointing outcome isn't it. Just taken delivery of a Polestar 2 and noticed no Deezer as well.

I've been a paid Deezer customer since 2013, I need music in the car so will not be messing about praying, you are too late. Will be cancelling and switching to Spotify today.

When will this deezer be available on android automotive? I have orded a polestar 2 , but i think i w’ll change (after 7 years) to spotify. Deezer is nog interested in all the new volvo’s, fords and polestars i think. 

Polestaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!

Hi there,

We just got an XC-40 Recharge this past winter. It's Android driven, and as mentioned above, offers all other music apps, including Tidal, but not Deezer. We had been paying Spotify users for 5 years and switched over during the pandemic. We really enjoy Deezer, but for us to stay long-term, we'll need the app in the car.

When can we expect this app to be ready and available?

Thanks!

After two years of people asking for this and still nothing. I can't even play the Deezer player on the Vivaldi browser. Serious mistake, Deezer. I imagine a lot of Polestar drivers will use Deezer and that there's a big crossover with your user bases. If no progress in the next few weeks I will switch to Spotify having been a Deezer user for more than five years. 

Hi - any tips for easily changing from Deezer to Spotify? I won’t wait for Deezer for my Polestar anymore

I used an app to transfer my playlists https://freeyourmusic.com/transfer-deezer-to-spotify

Getting my new car next month…. Any new yet?

Ho there, i read in the FAQ that Automotive OS is supporting a Deezer app but this would all limited to the car manufacturers. 

FYI: Deezer is much more active to reply in the French community:

Seems like the wait coming to an end… #fingerscrossed

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to hear about the release of the Android Automotive app for Volvo and Polestar vehicles. It's a sizable step forward in integrating technology and bettering the user experience. As an Android enthusiast, this news brings a smile to my face.

The fact that Polestar 2 is the first car to have Android Automotive is fantastic. It shows that automakers are recognizing the value of this platform and its potential for customization. And let's not forget about the Volvo XC40 electric, which will also come equipped with this software interface. The future of connected cars is looking brighter!

I'm personally thrilled to see Spotify available on this platform, as it's my go-to music streaming service. However, I'm also hoping that Deezer jumps on board and develops an app for Android Automotive. Having multiple options would give users more flexibility and choice.

This is becoming very strange! Many upvotes no comments from Deezer. Support also has no answers? Does @Deezer really not care about bringing its app to android automotive? Will be switching over to Tidal soon. Very disapointing.

Finally available on Google Play for download! I've installed on my XC40 yesterday and is working. Looks simplified (for example, I didn't find a way to download the musics for offline use), but is very similar considering all others apps available untill now. Much better than nothing.

Umm, this can be closed now?
