Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. Problem: Spotify can't reinitialize the connection to the car's speakers if Android auto connection is lost. Spotify works pretty well when android auto is correctly connected the first time. If the connection is lost, then often spotify will look like its playing music but no music is audible through the cars speakers. Open Spotify and play something. The sound should now come from your speaker. You may need to set your car as a default device or allow media sharing. Try looking for those options in the Bluetooth settings of the device you’re playing from. If the problem persists, check out the support site for your devices’ manufacturers.
