Hey, that’s strange. Okay, this might sound like the mundane response but have you tried the classic, uninstalling both Android auto and spotify on your device, then reinstalling them afterwards?

On my 2015 Skoda Fabia. well VW Polo, I too have AA. In my case I have to press the music button twice. Once to go into Google Play, then once again to bring up the list of available apps. Once Spotify is selected, you shouldn’t have to double press in the future. Hope it works,

I have discovered the same problem but unfortunately cannot reinstall Spotify as it crashes and reboots my phone. Maybe it’s something to do with it being preinstalled? Reinstalled Android auto and that doesn’t help.

Hey, that’s really strange. It shouldn’t do that!

First of all, what phone do you use? And how are you reinstalling an app that you can’t uninstall?

Hopefully, we can sort this out! Cheers

Yes, basically i cannot re-install the Spotify App as the uninstall crashes the phone.

The phone is a Sony Xperia Z5.

Since my last post i’ve received my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and cannot get the Android Auto to work with the head unit (it simply doesn’t register) so i need to figure that one out too!

You might want to try clearing the app cache before uninstall. See if that helps. Do this.

Scroll down to Spotify and tap

(Depending on your system you may need to click ‘storage’)

That may sort it without uninstall.

Failing that uninstall after doing this and then reinstall from the Playstore!

Hi John,Thank you for your suggestion.I did try that at the time but it didn’t help then.But fortunately I’ve had some application updates of both Android Auto and Spotify since my original post and it all works now The only problem now is that it doesn’t work with my new Mitsubishi Outlander 2017 car however it says coming soon on the Mitsubishi site so I guess I just need to wait and see!Thanks,Kevin
