I did the same thing with Android Auto after getting a new car. To my surprise, there wasn&#8217;t one, so I had to find a solution myself.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy with my new car, but I quickly realized the factory speakers were far too bass-heavy and muddy for my liking. That&#8217;s why I went looking for an EQ in Android Auto that would work across all my music apps. The answer to Android Auto&#8217;s missing EQ was surprisingly simple.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"android-auto-leaves-you-on-your-own\">\n                        Android Auto leaves you on your own<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"many-eqs-don-39-t-affect-android-auto\">\n            Many EQs don&#8217;t affect Android Auto<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>The way Android handles equalizers is incredibly frustrating. Android still doesn&#8217;t have a stock equalizer, and neither does Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p>Many brands include their own version of an equalizer, including my OnePlus 15, but it only works on the stock speaker, and if you&#8217;re lucky, Bluetooth and possibly wired devices\u2014but never on Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p>                                            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t                                                                                                    \t\t\t\t                                                   &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/i-finally-got-an-equalizer-on-android-auto-it-only-took-a-free-app\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got an equalizer on Android Auto\u2014and it only took a free app https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/i-finally-got-an-equalizer-on-android-auto-it-only-took-a-free-app\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":289038,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.howtogeekimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/car-multimedia-1.jpeg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[83],"class_list":["post-289037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-oneplus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289037"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289037"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":289039,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289037\/revisions\/289039"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
