Plex, for the dash.

AuxWire is an unofficial Plex client built specifically for Android Automotive OS — not a phone app squeezed onto a car screen. Playlists, audiobooks, and downloads for offline listening, right on your car's own display.

Coming soon to Google Play Request test access

Currently in closed testing. Requires your own Plex Media Server — AuxWire connects to your existing library, it doesn't host or provide any media itself.

Features

Built for the car, not adapted for it

Big touch targets, a native Android Automotive media browser, and steering-wheel-friendly controls — everything is designed for glancing, not tapping around while you drive.

Your library, playlists first

Browse the same playlists, artists, and albums you've already built in Plex — search across all of it, or drill into an artist's full discography.

A CoverFlow queue for the passenger seat

Once something's playing, the queue becomes a swipeable deck of album art — tap any cover to jump straight to that track. Single-album queues get a calmer, art-focused view instead, with a mood-driven ambient effect behind the cover.

Download for offline listening

Download a whole album or playlist right from the car, and it plays back with zero network use afterward — no dead zone, no dropped connection, no interruption.

Never lose your place

A persistent mini-player follows you while you browse for the next thing to play, and playback position syncs back to Plex — pick up on any other Plex client right where you left off.

And more

The small things that add up on a long drive

Native car integration

Shows up in your car's own media source picker, so steering-wheel and voice controls work like any built-in app.

Audiobooks, done properly

Per-chapter resume, 0.75×–2× playback speed, and a dedicated chapter browser separate from music.

Background playback

Keeps playing when you switch to Maps or any other app — audio doesn't stop just because AuxWire isn't on screen.

Repeat, shuffle, Up Next

The transport controls you'd expect, plus a dedicated queue view to see and reorder what's coming up.

Fast search

Search songs, artists, and albums directly — no need to drill through menus to find one track.

Your server, your rules

AuxWire only ever talks to your own Plex Media Server and plex.tv for sign-in — no AuxWire account, no separate login.
