Share music library between s7 and android 6.0 car head unit

[Jamespheely]

Hi all.

I am looking for help in sharing a music library between 2 android devices (a phone and car head unit running Android 6.0).

I am using power amp music player on my phone (s7 edge) and have all my library and playlists setup. I am looking for a way of wirelessly sharing the library from my phone to the car head unit.

I don't believe poweramp will allow me to stream by Bluetooth direct from my phone to the Android head unit. I believe I could sync the music folders between the 2 devices but this could be time consuming when I want instant connection/access? Another thought was to have the Android head unit recognise and connect the sd card in my phone as a virtual usb drive? Is this possible or am I over thinking it and there's an easier way?

Thanks
James

Does the head unit need a Google account? Then put it on the same Google account as the S7 is, and sync everything you want shared.

Or install BTmono on the S7 - that should allow you to play the music in the S7 on the head unit. (This is assuming that you can't enable Media on the S7 when it's connected to the head unit. If you can, you don't have to share anything, the music you play in the S7 will play on the head unit.l)
