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.

    MG5 Android Auto disconnecting over bumps

    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...

    Android auto

    Android auto keeps disconnecting and I have to pull the cable out of phone or usb socket to re establish a connection. This only lasts for 10/15 minutes before it disconnects again. Does anyone know of a way to obtain a lasting connection. Thanks.
