  "summary": "An app that provides access to more than 45,000 internet radio stations from around the world has been found to work with Android Auto, according to XDA Developers. The app allows users to browse and play stations directly from a car's infotainment screen without a subscription or complicated setup.\n\nOther users have sought to minimize digital clutter and distractions within the Android Auto interface. Android Police reports that one user configured a \"Zen mode\" by downloading Spotify playlists and podcasts to a Google Pixel 8, as well as downloading offline maps for Google Maps, to prevent issues during signal drops.\n\nSeparately, 9to5Google reports that the Motorola MA2 wireless Android Auto adapter is now available for purchase in the US on Amazon for $69.99. While the device includes both USB-C and USB-A cables and is marketed as the only adapter engineered by Google, the final price is higher than the $39.95 previously suggested.",
