I recently purchased a new phone (Samsung J3 V) in order to use Android Auto in my new car (VW Golf SEL).
When I stream music within Android Auto (TuneIn or Spotify) the audio quality is not good. The sound is "flat", "tinny", etc. The USB cable I'm using is the one that came in with the phone. When I stream TuneIn or Spotify over Bluetooth, the quality is much better. When my wife used her iPhone / Carplay, the sound was fine.
I really prefer Android Auto over CarPlay, but I have no idea why the sound quality is poor- is it the phone, is it Android Auto itself?
If I can get a quantifiable answer it can save me from having to switch over to an iPhone.
Thanks!
