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.

    I posted this on Facebook recently, but no useful repliies - does anyone here have any ideas? "Has anyone seen a setting that turns off Android Auto being invoked? The settings in AA seem to be (from memory) 'always on', 'on if used on the last trip' and 'use car default'. I can't find a way of...

    Android Auto is it rubbish?

    Hi, Android Auto connects reliably and it comes up on my MG4's display. I select the app I want and it loads fine. However, I have no control of whatever app is running. The steering wheel buttons do nothing, nor does tapping the controls on the display. If music is playing from my phone I can...

    Android Auto. Top bar

    Hey guys. I recently updated from r46 to r59. When I was on r46, I had the the top bar on AA but I could pull this down. It was my understanding that updating to r59 would remove the bar but I'd at least be able to view things full screen. Updating hasn't removed the bar but I can now no...

    Android Auto VS Carplay.

    Recently got an android phone, is it just my imagination or does AA look worse than carplay on the preface lift 5's screen, just looks like the resolution is rather low. Tried with a cable just in case it was the wireless dongle but it's the same wired, It felt like there was more UI junk...

    Hi all. I have a 2024 MG5 Trophy, on about 5000 miles. Recently I'm having an issue where Android Auto (connected via USB cable) keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. It happens when the car hits a bump or vibration in the road, not all the time, but that is what often triggers it. Sometimes...

    Recommend me a wireless Android Auto dongle for a FL MG5

    Looking through the forums, It seems that plenty of MG EV owners have played around with Android Auto wireless dongles, with varying levels of success. What I`m not seeing, is many reports of long term reliability of dongles attached to an MG5. Would those with some experience be able to...

    Android Auto

    Hi all, had my new to me '21 plate dropped off by the non-MG dealers on Tuesday. I had tried briefly connecting my phone up during the test drive, but it didn't work, so I put it down to possibly being a dodgy charge-only cable, so I'd seen this recommended elsewhere and bought it in readiness...
