2024 Toy Crown Andriod auto says VLC is NOT a supported app. It was supported until the middle of April 2024. I used it exclusively to play music. Android auto changed the app to iheart radio. Prior to the abrupt change my Samsung phone would ask if vlc played properly when I turned the vehicle off. Humm.
I Uninstaller iheart app leaving only vlc on phone. Now andriod auto says there is no media player installed. I only had vlc and iheart on phone. Vlc music was sometimes choppy via wireless connection. Iheart not choppy at all.
