Android Auto question (am I wrong?)
So when using Spotify through Android Auto, I swear my sound settings are not set like they are set when I'm using the Lexus interface.
Am I completely wrong about this or does Spotify have sounds settings I need to set up on the app?
Any suggestions would be great and thanks in advance!

I believe the sound settings are based on the audio source. You might want to check that if you haven't already.
As for Spotify, just like zer0 said, you can change the streaming quality in the Spotify app. I'm on a plan, if that matters. Btw, I think Spotify is rolling out LDAC streaming soon (finally!).

When you're connected to android auto plus the menu button on the car, go to audio, and change your settings. You have to do it for every audio source.
Also, turn the volume normalized in Spotify OFF. It normalizes audio by making all audio super quiet.

Android used to have a built-in EQ to help things too, but they won't let you adjust bass anymore. Kinda lame. It also lowers the output volume when you enable the EQ so I leave mine off now.

So I tried this, but the minute I hit menu, my Android Auto closed and I was in the Lexus interface. However I did use Spotify's built-in equalizer and it's .. Average.
