Thank you. It didn't automatically show map in screen like with Google maps, so I assumed Google probably doesn't allow other apps to do that. I'll take bit more time to test it out next time.

It's possible that it doesn't work if you installed it from elsewhere than the Play Store (e.g. F-Droid). I do not know for sure though.

I did install it from fdroid.

If you installed from fdroid you have to ensble unknown sources in androud auto settings. These are the instructions from another app, but the procedure is the same

It is possible to use URL Radio on Android Auto if you have enabled unknown sources in Android Auto developer settings.

To enable:

Go to Android Auto settings and tap Version about 10 times to enable developer settings.

Tap on the hamburger menu on the top right and tap on Developer Settings.

Enable unknown sources.

That didn't work. I found this:

I didn't test it. I just installed from play store to test, it shows it on dashboard but the navigation was frozen in place whole driving.

Thanks. Hopefully it's not a security problem. If any apps (bank/insurance) might be able to connect because of this.

I don't think you should expect any issue. You are allowing unkown apps to show something only in andoird android auto, with this setting, and you can always turn it back off
