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.

    USB cables for Android auto

    I am looking for 0.75m long USB A to USB C, like rocking horse manure unless you want to spend mega bucks. I also want 0.75m long USB C TO USBC And 0.75m long USB C TO LIGHTNING. I can easily get 0,5m but too short, and 1m too long, I hate dangling cables.
