in the android auto app you can’t view your playlist’s songs, or even change the order of the playlist, which makes the android auto app almost useless since I always use my phone to choose a specific song or choose the playlist order, your only option is to shuffle with the AA app alone.

This is the Deezer player in AA:

This is the Youtube Music player in AA:

notice the blue circle shows the playlist view icon

This is Youtube music playlist view:

and it’s not only YT music who has this basic feature, spotify also has it.

I have a complete faith in you guys to add this basic feature which apparently you guys have it in Car Play which is a bit odd.

No news or updates regarding this idea.
I have asked our devs again 

Shouldn’t you ask a product manager person rather than dev ?

Well, I think there is no feedback and nothing in this direction, because Android Auto isn’t really supported for now. Far behind other Apps and services. If you search for Deezer and support with Android Auto, many people are frustrated and moving back to other supplier.

Why is Deezer not supporting Android Auto?

  1. No control about mobile data. If you don’t activate “Offline Mode”, it is hard to see in Android Auto, what is downloaded. There is a need of a tab “Downloads”
  2. Activating “Offline Mode”, you have to control Deezer only on the phone. Nothing will be visible on Android Auto. No Songs, no Playlists, no Album…. nothing

Missing the state-of-the-art features, it will be impossible for Deezer to add this new and advanced features into Android Auto. Adding the playlist view requires the basic features. I believe, this is the reason, why there is no progress. It is for Deezer more than just adding a new “view” feature into Android Auto.

Deezer is not made for using it within the vehicle.

Wow, at least 2 years and still no support? At least I know what's in most of my playlists. But if you can do it within carplay, it should be done in android auto.  Two major players for the car should have two major priorities.

Hello @Jodabu, thanks for your feedback.

After reaching out our product team, it was mentioned that there are plans to bring some improvements in the next quarters to Android Auto.

No much was disclosed, but the first priority aims to solve some resilient issues and improve the app stability.

After that, we will work in the search feature, queues and finally the sorting feature in playlist view.

With the queue list view available in the player, users will be able to navigate and choose a song from the playlist.

So fingers cross that all that can be implement during this year.

The year is over. Still not solved. How many quarters? 1, 2 or rather 10. It's a safety feature, which should not be ignored.
