While it is not available in Malaysia, many other countries have YouTube Music which allows music playback via audio/video and it’s about to get better because YouTube Music is finally supporting Android Auto.
Basically, if your vehicle supports Android Auto, then you’ll have the privilege of using YouTube Music without needing to control it on your smartphone. Just open your Music tab and select YouTube Music as your source and you’re good to go.
YouTube Music’s navigation menu comes with five options which are Your Mixtape, Recommended, Last played, Library and also Downloads. However, there are still complains from users regarding its lack of content compared to Google Play Music and also its inability to sort albums or artists.
Besides that, YouTube Music also comes with Music Premium, a subscription that costs $9.99/month. You can listen to songs ad-free, offline and even when your screen is locked, which is kind of similar to Spotify. If you’re interested to test out Android Auto with YouTube Music, you can try updating the app on Google Play Store or just download the latest APK if you’re not willing to wait for the update.
