What TV provider subscription is required?
Can you download music for offline listening?

I use Pandora. It lets you download tracks that you like, but you have to use a VPN to make it work here.
I'm hooked up via StarSat. It links up to Google Music where you can purchase the track or album.

Android Auto v2.0 has a jump shortcut for lists in audio apps and prepares to add several new settings and a homescreen shortcut [APK Teardown + Download]

Android Auto v2.0 began rolling out earlier this week with a pretty significant redesign that made the driving mode part of the app's primary UI. There were quite a few changes to support the on-phone Auto simulator, including a fair number of new options like the ability to auto-launch with certain Bluetooth connections (and prevent that if it's still in a pocket).

While most of the new features are easy to discover when poking around in either the driving mode interface or in the couple of config screens, there's a new feature in the audio player that deserves to be called out on its own. It allows users to jump around on most long lists like queues and playlists. A look inside the apk also reveals quite a few features that didn't make it out in the first release of v2.0.
