Momentum: Plex Music for Cars
wmmun
Your Plex music library, playing natively on your car's screen. No phone, no cables, no projection. Momentum signs in with your Plex account and streams your own library straight to your Android Automotive Google Built-in vehicle at full quality. FLAC arrives as FLAC. Your music is never needlessly transcoded.
WHAT MOMENTUM DOES
Direct-play streaming that leaves your files untouched
Automatic server discovery that reconnects as your network changes
Browse by playlist, artist, album, or genre, with typed search when parked
Voice control: say "play [song]", "play [artist]", "play [playlist]", or "play [genre]"
Shuffle, repeat, a live Playing Next queue, and resume across power cycles
Driving-safety gating: browsing and search lock while the vehicle is moving; playback, shuffle, repeat, and voice stay available
MOMENTUM PRO (optional, one-time purchase, no subscription)
Everything above is free and stays free. Pro adds:
Crossfade with real overlap from two independent decoders. Tracks from the same album still play gapless.
Two servers at once: pair a second Plex server, browse both, and move playback between them without stopping the music
Sonic stations: build a station from whatever is playing, with the similarity range and station length under your control
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
Your car streams over the internet, so your Plex server must be reachable from outside your home network, and Plex requires a Plex Pass or Remote Watch Pass for remote streaming. Quick test: play a track in the official Plex app on your phone over cellular, with WiFi and VPN off. If that works, Momentum works.
