Google’s Android Auto may soon integrate car radio controls, allowing users to switch between AM, FM, and HD Radio stations directly through the app. Code strings in Android Auto versions 12.3 and 12.4, discovered by 9to5 Google, suggest this potential feature. Currently, users must toggle between Android Auto and their car’s native system for radio functions, raising safety concerns. Although not officially announced, this integration would benefit both parties, keeping AM/FM radio relevant in cars and enhancing Android Auto’s appeal. Edison Research data shows CarPlay or Android Auto users double their in-car streaming time, a key audience for radio to recapture.
