# Provide recommendations

<br />

Android Auto can display content recommendations on the dashboard when the user
isn't listening to anything. To avoid the default logic of pulling
recommendations from the top of the browse tree, apps should provide their own
source of recommendations and tweak these suggestions to the driving context.

You may consider using the user's in-car listening history to generate
recommendations, instead basing them on their living room listening habits.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Apps can send recommendations using the media browser service, using a lookup key in the `EXTRA_SUGGESTED` string. For details, consult [EXTRA_SUGGESTED](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/media/MediaBrowserService.BrowserRoot#EXTRA_SUGGESTED).

## Recommendation example

You** pane with suggested playlists (Android Auto example).
