Due to the limited amount of media apps which are available for Android Auto, I have decided to create one tailored to my music tastes. Auto Techno is an Android Auto music app for tuning in to DI.FM Premium radio channels.
Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.markspit93.autotechno
The app was a nice opportunity to experiment with Google's media playing library, Exo Player 2. For more information:

NOTE: DI.FM Premium Required.
- Make sure Android and Android Auto is set to allow apps from unknown sources. Use some internet search tool for instructions.
- Deploy to Android Device.
- If you're having problems, try to disable "Instant Run".
- Running the default "Activity" will prompt you to open Android Auto. It should not crash.
- Start the mobile app and enter your Premium listener key.
- Startup Android Auto and open the app.
