Android Auto with Samsung Music

[SamSvD]

Hello,

I cannot find within Android Auto any app to play my music that is on my S23 Ultra internal storage when I'm in the car. 

Samsung Music App is no where to be found in the interface Apps. I can't also add it in the Android Auto settings (customize launcher) because its not even an option in the App list. I also have installed VLC App on the phone, but also does not appear in the Android Auto App list. 

The way for me to play my music right now is using good old Bluetooth audio. 

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, but it's just an extra unnecessary step because apparently Samsung Music and Android Auto dont like each other much. I downloaded two third-party music player Apps that work perfectly with Android auto.

Can you name them

[Farrokhmot]

Would you please let us know the apps?

I use the App "Musicolet". There's also "AIMP"

Just put the apps to "Never sleeping apps" under Background usage limits in your mobile. This must the issue i guess.

Samsung Music is not in the sleeping or deep sleeping apps. Still won't find it in Android Auto.
