Android Central Question
I have a Kenwood DDX917WS headunit that I use with my LG G6 phone for android auto. I primarily use Google play music (I do NOT have a subscription) as my music player, and just add music I already have through an SD card on my phone. It worked flawlessly for about 8 months where I could use voice commands for "OK google, play XXXXX by XXXXX" and it would play any song or album that I had loaded on my phone. Since the latest google assistant updates in the past couple of months, it will now always say something like "That album/song is only available to GPM subscribers. Try this radio station instead".
Is there a fix to this? I have tried reinstalling android auto, reinstalling google play music, clearing all caches, resetting all permissions etc... just about anything I can think of. No matter what, it always tells me that it is only available to play if I have a subscription. I can manually select albums to play just fine (only recent albums, browsing library is locked), but I cannot use voice commands.
For now I have resorted to using double twist music player, but I find it to be laggy and I always have to add "on double twist" at the end of a voice command otherwise it defaults to using GPM. There doesn't appear to be a way to set a default music player other than GPM in google assistant settings.
