I just joined the free trial of Sonos Radio HD, and I have a question. How can I listen to any of the exclusive Sonos Radio HD stations, like “Radio Chemical”, in my car via Apple CarPlay? If that is not possible, is there any other way like Bluetooth or AUX cable? Thanks!

This isn’t possible. Sonos Radio can only be played from the Sonos app or Sonos controller to a Sonos speaker.

I would imagine this new Audi Q4 E-Tron with a Sonos audio system will probably have Sonos Radio built in though:

Unfortunately, there isn’t. The controller on your mobile device is not a player, it doesn’t ‘get’ the stream. Thanks reserved for the speakers. Unless you have a Sonos speaker and an internet connection that the speaker is connected to in the car, there is no way for the Sonos Radio to play.

That’s what I feared. Thanks all! :-)
