In my personal experience and based on shared feedback, it appears that the YTM Extended home screen encounters difficulties loading on Android Auto. However, a workaround involves initiating a song, playlist, or album from the app on your phone or tablet, allowing subsequent control through Android Auto.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
b) Go to Android Auto settings on your phone or tablet.
c) Locate and select Version and permission info.
d) Tap continuously (10 times) on the option to enter developer mode, and then confirm by tapping OK on the prompted popup.
e) Access the Developer settings by tapping the three dots in the upper-right corner of your screen.
f) Scroll down and activate Unknown sources.
