Despite the fact that streaming services have almost completely killed radio, many users still opt to listen to their favorite stations. The integration of the radio in Android Auto is something that has been in demand over the last few years, but now everything points to the fact that you will soon be able to control your car radio from Android Auto.
The information is not yet official, Google has not commented on the matter. Of course, Android Auto’s plans have been known due to the analysis of the latest versions of Android Auto. The exhaustive breakdown of the lines of code has found references to the possibility of being able to control the radio from Android Auto.
Soon you will be able to control the radio thanks to Android Auto
Among the settings that can be modified through Android Auto is both switching from AM to FM and being able to select a specific station. In addition, the names of stations with HD Radio support will also be displayed. Of course, it should be noted that nothing has been confirmed yet about this novelty.
As the operation of this feature is not known, everything is speculation about how the integration of the radio in Android Auto will be translated. From 9to5Google they indicate that there may be several approaches when it comes to making this a possibility:
- A dedicated interface within Android Auto for the vehicle’s radio
- Direct access to radio settings via Android Auto
We will still have to wait a long time to see if this becomes a reality, Google’s plans may not yet be at a point where results can be seen. We will have to wait to know how this proposal progresses, which will make all those people who prefer to listen to music in an analogue way happy.
Leaving aside the integration of the radio in Android Auto, another of the changes that have been discovered when analyzing versions v12.3 and v12.4 is the disappearance of the possibility of setting a wallpaper. Yes, Google may have decided to backtrack on this feature.
Both Android Auto v12.3 and v12.4 are available in the Play Store, although it has not been possible to activate the functionalities of the radio. It is possible that in the next beta version you will be able to see how this will work, although it is clear that everything will depend on Google.
