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.

    Solution: Android Auto light map at night (for Waze)

    After 2.5 years, I found a fix for this issue. Update Waze to the latest software. Then open Waze settings -> Map View -> Dark mode -> and select "Only at Night." Also, turn on the "Apply on car screen" setting. Now I have to get used to not toggling the lights off and on every time. Thanks...

    Hi all, Today, I test drove an MGS6. Great car! I did have some trouble with Android Auto, in several S6's that were at the dealership. The sales representative had the same problem with his S26 Ultra (I have an S25). We both tried this wirelessly. Here's what happened 9 out of 10 times: when...

    Zapmap Routes not showing Chargers

    Android google maps

    I can see that this is a well documented problem with MG's across the range. I have successfully paired my android with many cars and never had a problem but with my MG4 it will suddenly say random bulls**t instructions like 'turn left and make a u turn and then rejoin the road'. Luckily it has...

    Android auto and the digital key

    I have had a great time with my car this week, exploring features and just pootling around in it. My favourite thing so far is the digital key so no more forgetting my car keys as it's all on my phone. I had set up Android auto on the morning I collected the car and it worked, as much as that...

    Phone erratic when using Bluetooth for Android Auto

    I replaced my MG4 EV with a 24 plate MG5 EV. I tried using the old Bluetooth dongle to connect my phone for Android auto use. That worked fine but incoming phone calls would often not connect to the infotainment audio, which is useless! So I'm back to connecting the phone via USB cable which...
