Hello Everyone,
Since we released ARC, we have heard requests for Android Auto and Carplay support. We are happy to announce that with this build, we will officially support Android Auto in ARC. You will be able to browse your library, listen to Roon editorial content such as daily mixes and playlists, and control playback directly from your car’s head unit.
Creating Android and iOS car-based apps was a new challenge for us and our distributed team, and it took a collaborative effort from our developers, testers, earlyaccess members, and QA. We are pleased with the result and hope you all enjoy. However, we are far from done. We will be continuing development for both Android Auto and Carplay so please do let us know your feedback and suggestions 
In order to use Android Auto, please make sure you have installed to the latest build via the Play Store and simply connect your Android device to your car’s head unit. The Roon ARC Android Auto app should appear automatically.
In other ARC news, we have resolved bugs around the keyboard not adhering to the device’s theme as well as improper display of sample rate information. Also, bans made in ARC should now be properly reflected in Roon.
Roon includes several fixes with the most notable applying to Qobuz playback issues. We have resolved issues which prevented Qobuz playback from starting in certain cases. Furthermore, we believe that we have addressed the issues which were causing intermittent issues with the gapless playback of Qobuz content. If you continue to have problems with Qobuz playback please let us know!
Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
