used TunnelBear, singned into Google, asked me to install GM app but failed cause it's not compatible with IS.
I'm using CoolDroid, guess that won't matter?
Tried also Amazong MP3(MarketEnabler), signed into Amazon, ran into indefinitely loading.
Looked 7digital, lack of some new songs
PS.Why can't Google just put Music into Play, Life would then be so much easier
Thank you.
So I got the Pioneer 8100NEX setup last night. After flashing OxygenOS on my phone (BlissPop wouldn't work due to the DPI issue) I am up and running with Android Auto. However, when going through the music app option all I have is Google Music. The other main app I use for tunes and general listening is TuneIn which, while installed and apparently should work, is not showing up. I searched the settings for TuneIn and didn't notice anything obvious. Is this a Pioneer setting I am going to wait for or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
I realize this is a dusty post, but did you ever get TuneIn to appear in AA? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P.
Allow me to spray some Pledge/Endust on this topic as well. I have a Moto X Pure Edition running TruPureXMM 2.6 and I just purchased a 2016 Honda Civic EX with Android Auto built-in. Everything about it works great: Maps, Hangouts, Play Music with voice search, the whole thing. EXCEPT: similar to the posters above, when touching the Audio button to see other apps, the only app listed is Google Play Music. I should also note that I have multiple Auto-compatible audio apps in addition to TuneIn Radio Pro; I also have BeyondPod, Pandora, and iHeartRadio. None of them appear. Google support is non-existent at this point, which is a little unsettling as more and more carmakers are offering stock options with Android Auto.
I'm not any kind of expert, but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of having a rooted and/or custom ROM installed. Mine is stock based for my phone but it is rooted and I see that the OP had a custom ROM as well. I don't know what you are running @monorailmedic. Any information or assistance from someone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Do you have any adblock app running on your phone?

I am running the stock ROM on a Nexus 6P. All of my other audio apps appear (BeyondPod, DoggCatcher, NPR One, Google Play Music...)

I do have AdAway. I will try disabling it the next time I am in my car. However...

Curiouser and curiouser. I will mention that I tried disabling USB Debugging and that did not have any effect.

Disabling AdAway had no effect. However, I believe I have resolved the issue.
I mentioned that I have TuneIn Radio Pro, but I did not mention that I got it through the Amazon App Store rather than Google Play. (It was a free app of the day many moons ago.) I installed the regular version of TuneIn from the Play Store and...voila, it appeared in Auto. Same thing with the other apps - I had installed them outside of Google Play, and apparently Auto doesn't like that. Reinstalling through the Play Store got me up and running.
I don't know if that scenario is also your issue @monorailmedic, but mine has been resolved this way.

I too got the Pro version from Amazon years ago when it was a freebie. I'll try downloading the version from the Play Store in the morning. I wrote to TuneIn today, so if this is the issue, it'd be swell if they provided me the key to the newer pro version via the Play Store.

In fact, I mentioned a possible block because IMHO the apps for Android Auto can't work if they aren't able to contact the Google Play store for license activation.

Interesting... Besides license validation of protected apps (which the dev controls) this is the first instance I recall hearing where sideloaded apps won't work.
Developers of AA compatible apps can't just sideload either, even just for testing. App has to go through Google Play as a special AA beta test.
Google requires that all AA compatible apps (and their updates) be tested by them and approved for not being distracting. This is part of their protection for that. Sideloaded or Amazon etc. apps can't be guaranteed to have gone through this testing. (Actually an MD5 of the APK or similar could be done, but that could be abused on rooted devices and Google prefers everything goes through Play anyway.)
So, how are you all using TuneIn? I've been immensely disappointed that there's no favorites/presets list available via AA. Nor is there even the recent stations list available. So, how in the world do you access the stations you want? The lists that are available seem really truncated and have only strange channels I've never heard of. I was able to use voice commands once but now that isn't working and one of my stations wasn't accessible that way either. So, the whole app seems to be essentially useless to me via the AA interface. Bluetooth streaming still works, but defeats the purpose and of course then there's no access to any of the other aspects of AA.

I too have the pro version from Amazon, which i got for free. In order to get it to work with Android Auto you have to install it using google play as the vendor. Same goes with other apps that you sideload
1. Install Tunein Pro from Amazon Store.
2. Save the apk installer file using es Explorer. hxxp://android.stackexchange.com/questions/75360/is-it-possible-to-backup-apk-from-an-installed-application
3. Uninstall Tunein Pro
4. Reinstall using ADB hxxps://pixplicity.com/setting-install-vendor-debug-app/
I tested it and it works
You can also "unblock" non-play store apps in AA. Open AA on your phone, then go to "information" then tap many times on the upper bar... it will reveal "developer options". Now tap on 3-dot menu and set developer mode. You should see more apps through car headunit.
So it's been about 2 months since I recieved my Remix Mini and I really like it. The biggest reason is access to Google Play games and apps on the desktop. But a big dealbreaker for me is that Google Play Music doesn't work. I saw in Jide Support that they were working on fixing it back in December and I'd like to know what has been done to fix this since then.
Hey,
May I ask more contextual details about the issue you are referring? Some of reported issues of Google Play Music have been solved in Version 2.0.111. For the best experience, please always make sure your Remix OS is on the latest version.
Cheers
Cameron
Yes, I am on version 2.0.111 and Google Play Music still will not play anything.
Our engineering team is working on a fix around this issue. We will release this fix soon.

I'm on v2.0.111 and Google Play Music works fine for me. I'm playing my music right now. Maybe there's something unique about your setup?
google music streaming is working, but please explain whats not working 4 you
I'm on Version 2.0.203 and it seems to work on my mini
I Also have it set up on my Dads surface pro 3 i will try it this weekend
The 2.0.23 update fixed it for me, thanks everybody.
I wish to use my old HTC One as a full fledged music player. Only as Music and occasionally video player and GPS device for my car. How can I customize the OS so that it consumes least of battery life? I dont want any of the apps to consume battery as I will not use any apps on it. So how can I go ahead and removing the battery hungry things? Any suggestions to max out the battery?
I love my HTC One. Its one of best handsets I own. But because of stupid service that they provide which couldnt replace the broken camera because they cannot get spare parts :/ and when mouthpiece gave up, I had to retire it.

Are you rooted, unlocked and have custom recovery?
If yes then you could install a light weight ROM like cyanogenmod and then don't install gapps (gapps are battery hungry). I suggest cyanogenmod because it comes in with a file manager application and audio fx which is a decent equalizer also there is a neat feature called music visualizer should come in handy since you'll use it as a music player. Then what you could do next is install android apks of the apps you want, unfortunately you won't be able to use google apps because you won't have google services but, you can install pretty much any other app.
This is the website I download apps from http://www.apkmirror.com/
Once the app is downloaded you can move it to your phone via usb if you didn't download it directly on your phone. I recommend to have all the apk's on the Downloads folder for easy access. Then on your htc one m7 click on the apk file and it should prompt you to install it (make sure to go to security in settings and enable "Unknown sources") A ROM with no gapps should give you good battery life. Also if by video player you mean Youtube you can always install a browser to view youtube videos from a browser or just use the browser that cyanogenmod brings.
You can also check out this thread for tips to maximize the battery http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884 Of course I don't think that you would be able to redeem any purchasing of the apps listed. What you could do though is purchase the apps from the google play store and then use titanium backup to back them up. Then restore them once you flashed cyanogenmod and installed titanium backup through the method I described before . Should work as i have restored paid apps such as Nova Laucher Prime without installing gapps. However, this didn't work for Riptide GP2 so I am not sure about greenify and amplify. Still don't worry about it too much since again no gapps equals immediately better battery and also happiness of knowing google is not spying on you as much :laugh:
I know this a long read but, I hoped this has helped you in your usage of your Htc One M7. M7 rocks still using mine and is running perfectly for me for an almost 3 year old device.
I was very disappointed that I couldn't install the Google+ app from the Google Play Store on my Fire HD 8 tablet, because Google Play said that the app wasn't compatible with my device.
So, I installed Ankit Kumar's "APK Extractor Lite" app from the Google Play Store onto my Droid Turbo 2 phone, extracted Google+ to an APK, uploaded the APK to a Google Drive folder, then downloaded it onto my Fire HD 8 tablet. It installed without error, and I now have a "proper" version of Google+ on my tablet.
I also did this for WeatherBug Elite, the now abandoned and generally unavailable ad-free version of WeatherBug. It runs like a champ on my Fire HD 8, except that I do need to manually refresh the map when displaying a radar map--small consolation for having an app that I like.
Obviously I got lucky, and not all apps will extract or install correctly. And time will tell if I have any issues or if the apps update properly through Google Play. YMMV, of course!
Have you tried downloading the apps from a site like Apkmirror? It may save you a bunch of time.

Non-Amazon Android App. Issue...
I have been trying to download an app. that you need to get through the Google store, and tried doing some convoluted "apk" that I foynd online, but it didn't work (though it's possible that the files just didn't completely download because the device often shuts itself off :-\). If anyone might be able to tell me how to get the Blue Jeans (web conferencing) app. onto a Fire HD 8, that would be incredibly hrlpful.
