Apple CarPlay Spotify search

[Cupra290]

Hi

I can't figure out how to search using Spotify through Apple CarPlay, anyone?
I can only see my own playlists.

Anyone? How to I search for new music that I don't have in my playlists?

Im not to sure but I will check my car tonight. Personally I use Apple music as it integrates so much better.

Tried it this morning on my Navigation High unit and all I get is the Browse menu where you can pick play lists which are pre made.

I would seriously look at Apple Music as being part of the Apple eco system it works better and offers far more.

Yes I use Apple Music but I use Spotify more and it's really stupid that I can't use "search" like on my iPhone. What's the point when I'm only able to listen to music that I already added to my playlists. Anyone else tried this?

I dont use Carplay but I do use Spotify on Android Auto and the only way I can search for music is by voice command. I presume Carplay implements Siri to some degree. I just ask "Play the song Alright by Kendrick Lamar" and it will start playing instantly. The lack of a search function is a safety feature to stop people driving and typing on a screen. It's a dangerous distraction to be staring at the screen so it make sense.
