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.

    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...

    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...

    Android Auto

    As the MG4 will be the first vehicle I've owned with an infotainment screen, can someone clarify the uses of Android Auto as I've not come across it before? I assume that even though the Android Auto website says "Connect your phone to your car display – your Android apps show up onscreen...

    I searched for this issue but didn't see anything, so had to create it. Not sure why this is happening, but at erratic times Android Auto just disconnects from the infotainment system. It's still wired in via USB A (left side under floating island), and my phone tells me it's connected, but...

    Android Auto wireless connection question.

    Hi I'm in Sydney Australia. Does anyone have any recommendations for a wireless adapter for Android Auto in my HS Plug-in? I have read that the Carlinkit 4.0 does not work with Android version 10. I have a Samsung S9 and would like to get rid of the annoying cable needed to use Android Auto. Thanks.

    Android Auto - Pre-production hardware Not for resale message/watermark?

    Got my MG4 SE Long Range on Friday. Pretty impressed so far, although there are a few things we're missing from our Leaf, 360 cameras mostly, (maybe I should have forked out for the Trophy).

    I've been having problems with android auto being very slow. When navigating with Google maps or Waze the screen lags behind which makes it very difficult to navigate. The delay is increasing the faster I drive. Navigating the menus is almost impossible as well as it takes 10-20 seconds for it...
