My Question or Issue

Since the last update (8.4.84.874 / 11 Dec 2018), Spotify running  in Andoid Auto is complaining there is no internet connection, which is true as I drive in the countryside and mobile reception is patchy.  However I have 2 gb of downloaded music that I cannot access when this message appears - the screen freezes until it picks up a signal, then freezes again when it loses it.

In my case i use an old phone which have no mobile network and before the update it works perfectly find. Now with the update i see a message on the car display "no internet connection available" and i can´t navigate on any menu of spotify. When tethering wifi from my current phone it works just fine.
