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 blank screen

    I have a Bluetooth adapter for connecting my Google pixel 8 phone as I couldn't get it to work with the charging/data cable (tried six cables) My issue is the screen goes blank if I have to reverse the car before driving off. Works ok if I haven't reversed first, anyone know a fix for this? Thanks

    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...

    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! I've had few issues with infotainment software (flashing and jumping screens etc...) at the beginning but most of them either disappear or been sorted by software update except of one.

    Wireless android auto?

    Has anyone used something like this to make their android auto connection wireless? Did it work? (I don't like having to plug in every time and having a cable there gets in the way).

    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...
