Polestar 2 is releasing there first car with android automotive. The volvo XC40 electric will also have this software interface built in. These are the first cars based on android with the possibility to install apps. I really hope Deezer will invent an app for it. So far Spotify is already availed on this platform. 
more information is available here

    so before Tidal or Apple Music will come before Deezer

    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 :sweat_smile:

      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.
