Hi, The system automatically shows the now playing button in the tab bar and nav bar when your app becomes the now playing app, and hides the button when another app starts playing audio. You are correct that, in order for the now playing button to show AND for now playing to populate with metadata, your app must start playing audio. In general, if your app is playing audio at the time when it's launched on the car screen, it's a best practice for your app to present its root template (e.g. a tab bar template) and then immediately push the now playing template on top. This is also done on behalf of your app if the user launches your app by way of the system 'Now Playing' icon on the CarPlay home screen. Also, is there a way to hide the Now Playing button after the queue of content has finished playing? I'm able to pop the Now Playing template, but the Now Playing button is still present and tapping it will navigate the user to the now blank Now Playing template. Not current
