Android Automotive Issues – Chevy Equinox EV

  • Unknown's avatar

    April OTR update of the AAOS system created a couple of issues in my 2025 Chevy Equinox EV:

    1. Steering wheel buttons to skip forward and back no longer work on Pocket Casts app. Works on screen and in the app.

    2. Up Next Playlist is no longer showing on Podcast screen (top right corner icon is gone).

    3. This predates the update, but smart playlists outside of New Releases shows “Media Not Available for Browsing” at all times.

    When using Android Automotive, the app shows “Media list is unavailable for browsing” for 5 out of 8 playlists.

    I have this issue too on 2024 Cadillac XT4. The playlists that emit this message are:

    • New Releases
    • Short to Long
    • Downloaded
    • Unfinished 
    • In Progress 

    The playlists that work are:

    • Favorites
    • Oldest First
    • Starred

    The offending message is only emitted when running Pocketcasts on Android Automotive. It works fine via Apple CarPlay and running on Apple devices. 

    It is ONLY when using Android Automotive that the offending message is emitted for some playlists.
