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.

    Android Auto - Found Good Lead

    As I have not yet been able to get the NAV working on my MG ZS EV I needed to get a short USB to USB-C connector to use Android Auto for navigation. Since I live in the South West I called into ProperJob, a good place to buy cheap tools and many other things and picked up this lead. As soon as...

    Does Android Auto Eat Power

    I have a newish Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra which connects to my MG X (Trophy to those not in Thailand) via a very neat Anytrox Android Auto wireless adaptor which has worked very well in the couple of weeks since I got it. I've recently had a couple of instances where on leaving the car I find...

    Android Auto stopped working

    Has anyone else's Android Auto stopped working recently? I've been using it since I got the car and today it stopped. I tried multiple cables and none recognise my phone. The phone knows to open android Auto but the car doesn't.

    Trophy's 4G connection and Android Auto / Carplay

    Just been watching one of Burl Solomon's helpful videos on YouTube about the free WiFi hotspot on the Trophy. This was a useful feature I'd overlooked. With that in mind I suspect I will use the AA for internet radio rather than use DAB, as the DAB sounds a bit glitchy, and is missing logos...

    Android auto

    Can anyone give me some advice please? It is always very hit and miss getting android auto to get connected. OBVIOUSLY I am using the correct usb port. I would say I get a connection once every 40 tries and it is driving me nuts. The phone and cable are both okay as they work seamlessly in other...

    Android Auto apps

    My AA has updated now and has the nice split screen but I was wondering how do you get rid of unwanted app icons on the screen tray/taskbar at the bottom (not the big screen with all the apps that you initially select from.) This also relates to before the update, I couldn't fathom it then...

    MG ZS EV Android Auto . . . Woah! This is new.

    Switched on the car this morning and this is what I saw. Anyone else had this multi window screen? I kinda like it. I'm wondering if it's connected to the map update I did a couple of days ago or if it's actually an over-the-air update to the infotainment screen.

    MG5 Android Auto reboots

    Hello, I'm in the middle of my first long trip in my MG5 and between the woeful state of public charging and Google Maps repeatedly crashing the infotainment, I'm not in a great mood. Is the maps problem something that's well known? Is there a fix for it? It seems to reboot specifically...

    ABRP Directions in Android Auto Volume Level

    Does anyone know how to adjust the volume of the directions given by ABRP when being used, with Android Auto, as the primary navigation aid? I find that the sound level of the spoken directions to be so quiet as to be unintelligible. If I increase the media volume, then the radio/streamed...

    Android Auto - Coolwalk upgrade

    This should be rolling out to most android handsets now. I'm interested to see images of the screen / hear how it works on the MG4. Has anyone received the upgrade? I think it should have been quite a noticeable change to the display. https://9to5google.com/2023/01/16/android-auto-coolwalk-poll/

    When the audio source is RADIO AND AA is active AND I'm using Google maps for navigation AND G/Maps is UNMUTED AND the VOICE GUIDANCE volume is set to max, I don't hear any directions played over the top of the radio. When Google would be speaking the radio volume noticeably dips but there is no...

    MG5 Facelift USB music and Android Auto simultaneously

    Well that was annoying. After trying loads of different USB sticks with different formatting in the right hand side USB port on my facelift MG5 Trophy and none of them working, I decided to actually read the manual. The manual reports that the right hand side is for USB power only. The left...

    SE Android Auto with Google Maps too bright at night - fixed

    I've searched for this so apologies if it's in another thread but I couldn't find reference to this particular Android Auto & Google Maps issue on the MG4. I'll often use AA at night in the totally unlit Devon lanes and it will often be in Day mode, white background, and is frankly dangerous...

    I have a Mk1 MG5. I normally listen to DAB radio, but when I connect my phone via Android Auto (to use google maps), Spotify automatically starts playing whatever it was doing when Spotify was last used. So to get back to DAB I have to go back to home screen and select DAB manually. Does...
