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.

    New owner impressions, queries and of course, gripes!

    Hi all. Took delivery of my IM6 LE last saturday. Spent a few days in the week driving it around London and venturing a little on the motorway. I don't need to go on all the good points. We already know them. The range is actually not too bad. Only charged it once on a public charger near me...

    Adding an Android Smartbox to your MG ZS EV to run any apps on your Infotaiment Unit

    As you will probably all know, MG ZS EV owners in Australia and New Zealand and only just found out that Turkey/Asia are unable to update the Navigation Maps because MG AU/NZ refuse to listen to our complaints.

    Android auto and the digital key

    I have had a great time with my car this week, exploring features and just pootling around in it. My favourite thing so far is the digital key so no more forgetting my car keys as it's all on my phone. I had set up Android auto on the morning I collected the car and it worked, as much as that...

    Android Auto Wireless

    I received my MG3 Trophy and tried to use an Android Auto Adapter to make voice commands but without success. I edited all my phone contacts by deleting the +44 and leaving the 0 with the number on both landline and mobile phones. My phone had been originally paired up to the car, because the...

    DAB/FM Radio

    I'm struggling to get the DAB Radio to be of any use. The volume is so much quieter than all other audio sources. It frequently reverts to FM mode, and the 'saved' icon type script is so large you cant read the channel name. I've read somewhere (apologies I cant recall where !) that a reset...

    Phone erratic when using Bluetooth for Android Auto

    I replaced my MG4 EV with a 24 plate MG5 EV. I tried using the old Bluetooth dongle to connect my phone for Android auto use. That worked fine but incoming phone calls would often not connect to the infotainment audio, which is useless! So I'm back to connecting the phone via USB cable which...

    Bluetooth won't stay off

    I can't seem to get my mg5 to keep bluetooth off. I turn it off in my settings and unpair it on my phone. I want to use my bluetooth dongle instead for Android Auto. It worked fine at first until I accidentally unpaired the dongle. I repaired the dongle but now the car (or my phone) keeps...

    From MG4 to MGS5

    After 3 years of happy motoring with my MG4, I have today collected a new MGS5 in Piccadilly blue. Typically it’s been raining so the car isn’t now as clean as it was when I picked it up! The salesman explained all of the driving aids and a lot of them were familiar. We were going to drive down...

    Wired android auto

    Is it even possible? My phone always automatically connects with WiFi. Even if I turn off WiFi, the car seems to force it on again! Really annoying, as there are glitches now and then in wireless mode, so I think wired would be more stable and better sound.

    Phone connection / Android Auto

    Hi all, hope life's treating you well. I finally connected my android phone to my S5 and by all intentions it seemed to pair/connect fine, even synchronising contacts etc. The issue however is that every time I get into the car it automatically starts up Android Auto, obviously connecting to my...

    MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing

    Hi guys, I have been enjoying my MGS5 since I got it back in December and haven’t had any issues until today with my Apple CarPlay which has been bugging out and freezing while I am driving and the only way to reset it is by pressing the home button until it reboots. It’s quite annoying...
