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

I had tried briefly connecting my phone up during the test drive, but it didn't work, so I put it down to possibly being a dodgy charge-only cable, so I'd seen this recommended elsewhere and bought it in readiness...

    Android auto

    Android auto keeps disconnecting and I have to pull the cable out of phone or usb socket to re establish a connection. This only lasts for 10/15 minutes before it disconnects again. Does anyone know of a way to obtain a lasting connection. Thanks.

    Please share which wireless adapter you are using in your Cyberster, and the pros and cons. Maybe also the type of phone(s) you use to connect to it.

    Android (non auto)???????

    I am having the utmost difficulty in persuading my Mg4 and smartphone to talk to each other in order to use Android Auto. The dealership has been very helpful, and 2 of their staff have given me an hour of their time to no avail. They are as baffled as me. I have not owned a smartphone until...

Weirdly, the buttons are clearly still in the same place in terms of touch (so to hit the right button you have to tap where it would normally be in terms of layout). This is not an...
