android auto

Android Auto is a mobile app developed by Google to mirror features of an Android device, such as a smartphone, on a car's dashboard information and entertainment head unit.
Once an Android device is paired with the car's head unit, the system can mirror some apps on the vehicle's display. Supported apps include GPS mapping and navigation, music playback, SMS, telephone, and Web search. The system supports both touchscreen and button-controlled head units. Hands-free operation through voice commands is available and recommended to reduce driver distraction.
Android Auto is part of the Open Automotive Alliance, a joint effort of 28 automobile manufacturers, with Nvidia as tech supplier, available in 36 countries.

    Fixed the quick access AC menu in CarPlay & Android Auto

    Since my MG4 was updated to R67, accessing the AC settings has become annoying. You now have to exit CarPlay (CP) or Android Auto (AA) completely before you can pull down the dropdown menu. I found a solution that fixes this and makes access quick again! The Solution I used the MG4 Swipe...

    Has anyone mastered Voice Control on the IM5? I've tried calling contacts in my phonebook, but the Voice control tells me they don't exist, even though I've just manually called the same contact. My wife pointed out that the KIA software downloaded the Contact List to the car and it was easy...

    Android Auto Connection Issues

    Hi all, If anyone else has an issue with Android Auto frequently disconnecting, then try using a powered USB hub (I specifically had one with BC1.2 so the phone can charge up to 7.5W). I recently moved from a Poco to Motorola phone, and whilst I had no issue with the Poco phone, the Motorola...
