How do I choose music other than automated playlists in car mode?

[GPR3K]

In spotify car mode (iphone) the choose music tool only lists a handful of automated playlists to choose from. How do I select music from my library, or from favorited playlists in car mode?

Hey there @GPR3K, 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

Would you mind sending a screenshot of what you're seeing in car mode on your end? You can attach it to your next response by using the Insert image option in the post editor. Make sure not to send any private info.

We'll be waiting for your reply.

Hey there @GPR3K,

Thanks for the screenshots.

The Car Mode only lets you select music from those playlists, like Liked Songs, Daily Mix, Daily Drive and other recently viewed content. The search option is not available. This is because the Car Mode is very simplified, offering fewer controls while driving. This Car Mode is still in testing, so we've passed on your feedback to our development team.

If you want more control of your app while in the car, you can use Apple CarPlay if possible. 

Hope this clears things up.

How does car mode select which playlists to make available, and how can I manipulate that algorithm ?

Hey @GPR3K, 

Thanks for your reply.

We're afraid it's not possible to choose which playlist is shown on car mode. However, as @Alex mentioned, this is still being tested. 

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and will make sure to pass it onto the right team, as we always strive to improve your experience.

If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.
