What is the difference between Automotive OS and Android Auto?: Android Auto is Google’s phone-to-dash technology, which basically takes your phone and displays it on your car’s display. However, Automotive OS is its own operating system, meaning your phone is not connected to the display and the Deezer Automotive OS app will exist separately to the mobile counterpart
How to log in to Automotive OS
- Select the Deezer app on your car’s in-built screen
- Scan the QR code with your smartphone
- On your smartphone, enter the code from your car screen
Note: You must have a Deezer Premium, Deezer Duo or Deezer Family account else you will not be able to use the app within your car
Troubleshooting
If you’re having problems, make sure your app and device software are up to date and you’re connected to the internet.
Failing this, restart the app or even restart your car.
Lastly, if all else fails, remove the Deezer app from your car and then reinstall it.

No, only for the initial login process! If you want to enrich your automotive experience, such as improving your Flow, you should use either the mobile app or the website.
Are podcasts and radio available on Automotive OS?
Podcast and radio are not available on Automotive OS for now!

Yes! If you encounter any issue, don't hesitate to curate your Flow from the mobile app or the website. Maybe you need to tell us a bit more about your musical tastes!
