The Amazon Music app for iOS and Android now comes with an additional Car Mode that offers a simplified interface that can be launched automatically as soon as you connect to your car’s Bluetooth system.
It seems like an ideal solution for those who do not have an infotainment system that is compatible with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, but want to stream music from Amazon Music while driving. According to an email from Amazon’s PR partner, the new feature is designed “to limit extensive browsing while driving.” However, interestingly, on the website promoting Car Mode, Amazon warns its customers that they should not “interact with this app while driving your vehicle.” Which naturally begs the question: Why give an app a car mode in the first place?
As if this warning wasn’t direct enough, the site follows up with an even more dire statement: “Interacting with the Amazon Music app while driving is dangerous and can result in serious injury, death, or property damage.”
The Car Mode interface provides a large, easy-to-use set of playback controls at the top of the screen, with a series of large-font preset buttons below that can be used to access favorite playlists, stations or albums. Amazon Music also includes Alexa voice command functionality, so you can simply ask Alexa to manage your tunes for you — perhaps a less risky way to interact with the app while driving.
Although the new mode starts automatically when your phone reconnects to your car’s Bluetooth, you can manually turn Car Mode on and off at any time, and it will work perfectly even if your car doesn’t have a Bluetooth system at all.
