  • Android Auto does not let you play local media connected to your car’s head unit, such as through a USB thumb drive.
  • A future update to the app could fix this oversight, letting you play media that is locally present and connected to your car.
  • Previously, it was also discovered that Android Auto could let you control your car head unit’s AM and FM playback without switching out too.

If you own an Android phone and a car, you may already know and use Android Auto. Android Auto brings apps from your smartphone to your car’s display, letting you focus on driving without distractions while taking care of your driving needs, like navigation and media playback. While Android Auto has plenty of apps for media playback, it has had a curious oversight for years that has remained unaddressed: You can’t play any local media connected to your car. But there’s good news on the horizon, as Google could soon fix the oversight.

Android Auto lets you play music via your phone, whether local media files stored on your phone or songs you stream from online services. However, if you have files stored locally on your car’s head unit or a USB thumb drive connected to your vehicle, then Android Auto cannot access or play these files. You will have to exit Android Auto and switch back to your car manufacturer’s entertainment system to access these files, which is the case with AM and FM playback, too.
