DriveSonic Lite

Your own music server, playing on your car's screen. Free. DRIVESONIC Lite is a native Android Automotive OS media app that connects your car directly to a Subsonic-compatible music server — Navidrome, Airsonic, Gonic, or Subsonic itself. It runs on the car's own display and speakers, not mirrored from a phone. PAIR WITHOUT TYPING Typing a server address and password on a car touchscreen is miserable and unsafe. DRIVESONIC does it differently. The car shows a QR code, you scan it with your phone, you enter your server details on a real keyboard, and the car connects. Nothing to type while you drive. BROWSE AND PLAY • Artists — every artist on your server, drill down to albums • Albums — Recently Played, Recently Added, Random Albums, and All Albums A–Z • Search — find any track, artist, or album by voice or keyboard • Full album artwork across browsing, now playing, and the queue BUILT FOR DRIVING • Gapless playback, so live albums and continuous mixes flow properly • Steering wheel controls for play, pause, skip, and seek • Scrub the progress bar to seek anywhere in a track • Tap any track in the queue to jump straight to it EASY ON YOUR DATA A 5 GB cache keeps recently played music on the car, so repeat listening does not re-stream the same files. Useful for large FLAC libraries and mobile connections. YOUR SERVER, YOUR MUSIC There is no DRIVESONIC account and no catalogue of ours to subscribe to. The app talks to the server you already run. No ads. No listening history sold to anyone. REQUIREMENTS • A car running Android Automotive OS with Google built in • A Subsonic-compatible server reachable from the car's internet connection • A phone or computer to complete the one-time pairing WANT MORE? DRIVESONIC Pro adds Favorites, a library-wide Shuffle, Recently Played, browsing by Genre and by Decade, resume where you left off, starring tracks and albums from the car, album reshuffle, and scrobbling play counts back to your server.
