What this means for you

If you drive a supported Audi, Spotify should feel more complete and better integrated, with voice control and a shared listening session for your passenger.

How is it different from the old Spotify app?

The previous app, built for Android Automotive (the operating system that runs directly on some cars' dashboards, with no phone needed), followed Google's visual rules.

What features does the app have?

Blocking video while moving is a sensible safety call: the screen shows extra content when you're parked, and the driver just listens on the road.

How do you install it and sign in?

You install or update it through the Audi Application Store on the infotainment system. Login needs a smartphone: you scan a QR code on the car's screen.

What about CarPlay and Android Auto?

They stay. InsideEVs reports that Spotify says it is still investing in these phone projection systems.

Will other cars get it?

Audi is the first automaker to receive the app, and InsideEVs says other manufacturers are expected to join later, without naming any.
