Comments on DashRelay for Android

★★★★★ The Tech Librarian · May 14, 2026
Works exactly as described for something that should natively be part of Android Auto but a big thank you to the maker of this out for making it free
★★★★★ Sagar H · Mar 22, 2026
This app does exactly what it is supposed to, steering control for YouTube videos for my android auto. 5 star ⭐ and more
★★★★☆ Chidi Duru · May 12, 2026
Works great with revanced manager patched YouTube. However, patch music has been crashing on Dash Relay during Android Auto use. Tried clearing cache, but still persists.
★★☆☆☆ Nick Sheppard · Apr 3, 2026
App worked fine until one day the app stopped loading when I tried to pull it up on my car. I've tried deleting the data and cache of the app, forcing stopping it everything, and it never loads when I try to use it

Description by Legitimate Software Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Control YouTube (and most other things) in Android Auto!

How many times have you hit pause on Android Auto only for YouTube to continue playing in the background making you miss out on whatever you were listening to? And then, when you click play, you get blasted with music instead of what you wanted? Same. So I built DashRelay.

DashRelay helps you:
• Control almost any media app through Android Auto (YouTube, podcasts, audiobooks, you name it)
• See what's playing on your car screen
• Use simple playback controls (play/pause/next/previous)
• Switch between detected media apps without touching your phone
• Auto-detect what's playing - no manual app selection, just drive and vibe
• Drive distraction-free with big buttons + steering wheel support
• Enjoy zero ads, zero tracking, zero analytics
• Keep everything local - your data never leaves your phone

FAQ:
How do I use DashRelay?
DashRelay shows controls for whatever media app you're playing on your phone. If nothing's playing, it will prompt you to launch a media app first. Once you start your favourite player (like YouTube), DashRelay takes over automatically - no extra setup needed. Just start your media and enjoy!

Why does DashRelay exist?
Because YouTube still doesn't offer proper playback controls on Android Auto, and I got tired of asking.

Will it control every app?
If the app plays media, DashRelay will try its best. Most apps work great. If you find one that doesn't, let me know!

Why is it free?
I built DashRelay to solve my own longstanding grievance and I figured other people probably have the same complaint.

Privacy?
DashRelay uses notification access only to detect what's playing and send basic playback commands. Everything stays on your device. No uploads, no tracking, no servers.

Like it?
There's a Ko-fi link in the app. But no pressure - even if you love the app you don't owe me anything.
