Is it after-market? 

No, standard Jaguar equipment.

My alpine head unit wont let you go into settings unless the car is in park.  Its more entertaining as, not once but twice, you have to set the parking break.  Its rather annoying.  Video on a USB will also not work without seeing this double parking break trigger.  I most certainly understand why!

Be great if android auto would recognize this and allow apps to run video when the car is not in motion.  But that is a discussion for them i suppose...

Old school method.

Jumping into this late as we just upgraded to a vehicle that supports Android Auto. I was excited to see the Emby app on there but can't seem to figure out how to access downloaded files only - any tips? I don't want my phone to access my entire library while driving as we don't have an unlimited data plan

Hi,

what about podcast ? I have premium and podcast added, whcih is available in the app and on the web. Unfortunately using Android Auto there is no podcast visible ? 

Will there be a change expected or do I something wrong ?

I would recommend setting up audiobookshelf for podcasts, and audiobooks of course, over using Emby. It works with Android Auto and has internal support for downloading and managing podcasts plus all the other feature you would expect like sleep timers, playback speed, and downloading local copies. It works really well for podcasts and even better for audiobooks. I like many have given up on Emby for anything other than Movies and TV.

Ok, understood. Is there a direct plugin to add audiobookshelf to emby ? Or do I need to add a library with audiobooks and enter the path ? Might be an issue to me since I have ABS and emby in different LXCs
