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.

    Charging stations in Google Maps

    Hi everyone, Just thought I'd mention this in case any Android Auto users didn't know about it. It's in Search, Categories, Charging Stations, and here's how it works: Yesterday, like Bilbo Baggins, I had an unexpected journey and decided to drive it as I would an ICE car without planning it...

    No Sound From Radio

    Firstly, I have checked through the previous posts on the radio. Like most, I have had the occasional radio problem, which I have always managed to fix. However, not this time. I recently had the flicking screen problem, which I fixed with a reset on the home bottom. However, I then lost the...

My partner and I both use either spotify and/or amazon music, plus mp3s on our phones and we have very different tastes...

    Is Android Auto working on your MG4 ?

    I've got my MG4 Trophy in November 2022 and generally speaking I like it!

    Does anyone know how set night mode permanently when using google maps via Android auto? Everytime I start the car it's in day mode which for me is too bright, I've selected night mode both via the car and developer settings but no difference when the car starts again.

    Weird Android Auto behaviour

    I usually run Android Auto with the voice prompts on mute, because I'm only checking to see how the traffic is and if it might be advisable to take a different route. Also the voice prompts annoy the hell out of me. All was well on Wednesday the last time I used it, and it saved me a...

    CarPlay and Android Auto stopped working

    We sent our car to Peterborough today to see if they could fix the radio. It’s a bit crashy, and recently both CarPlay and AndroidAuto stopped working. After most of a day (and no courtesy car) they’ve said it wouldn’t take a software update and MG need to fix it. We don’t know when that will be...

    I've been swapped into a facelift 5 as my company car for the last 3 weeks and I love it. However, I think the microphone may be busted as Andriod Auto doesn't pick up my voice. I'm using the same phone that worked well with my old PFL5, everything else on AA works well, does anyone have any...

    New to Android Auto - any tips?

    I finally got my new phone with Android Auto installed, so I plugged it in to see what would happen. Pretty impressed so far, but I have a feeling I'm not aware of all its capabilities and how to get the most out of it. I thought I'd try the "call so-and-so" feature, and said "call Elsie"...
