that said, android auto has been getting some decent updates in the past year, and I see multiple threads on the plex forum that they're working on it. The problem I had with using Plexamp was the Android Auto implementation doesnt retain the saved track data and I mostly use it in the truck so its just. Additionally, if I open Plexamp and make a selection before connecting the phone to my car, the selection will continue to play after being connected, and I will be able to make further selections and they will work. as far as I know, android's assistant doesn't have access to playing plexamp audio through android auto (or google home last time I checked). This only happens when Plexamp is connected/controller through Android Auto on the car’s head unit. Plex on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Plexamp - YouTube 0:00 / 8:00 Plex on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Plexamp Lon. It does not matter if the content is downloaded or remote.

After making a selection, Plexamp will show a black screen with a spinning grey wheel and “retrieving your selection” (or something similar), and will never actually play anything. Since the update, I can no play any type of selection (Playlist, Album, Artist, ect) while in Android Auto and connected to the car’s head unit. Then I got the Android 11 update (Pixel 4). For the past few weeks, Plexamp + Android auto were working great for me connected to my 2019 Crosstrek head unit.
