It will unless you car system can log into Google

But I've always been able to have the contacts from my Google Contacts account show up in all of my cars.
@wizzard44, you're connecting via Bluetooth, and not via USB, correct? Go to Settings>Bluetooth​ and tap the gear icon next to the car system -- is the Contact Sharing option turned on?

You have option in your car system to log into google ? It can sync through Bluetooth from your phone the contacts, but the radio itself needs to be Andriod radio to do that

Nope, I've never had an option in my car systems to log into Google. A decent system should just be able to sync whatever contacts are in the phone's Contacts app (regardless of the account).

The best way to post a video here would be to upload it to the cloud (like YouTube or your Google Photos) and then share the private link.

The issue with the Google or Samsung contacts not showing up in the car stereo is still what puzzles me, since as I mentioned before, any decent car stereo system made in the last few years should be able to sync those contacts, and not just the Phone account contacts.

Did you already check to make sure the Contact Sharing option is turned on in the Bluetooth settings?
