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 screen ratio stretched

    All fine with the system until today -android auto suddenly displays in a thinner, stretched screen aspect ratio. 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...

    Android Auto issues

    If I hold down the voice button in my ZS EV LS Trophy for a second or two, it goes to Android Auto. I then only appear to be able to say one thing, and then it appears to time out. So if I say "Text wife", it gets that, then the phone feeds back what's your message, and the voice doesn't appear...

    Which is best to use the built in MG Navigation or Android Auto

    Just got the new MG 3 Hybrid Trophy. I have Sygic on my phone and it does pick up ok through Android Auto but it is very clunky, I have to set my route or any destination really on my phone first and then connect it with the USB cable, but frequently it loses the mapping. In contrast the MG...

    USB cables for Android auto

    I am looking for 0.75m long USB A to USB C, like rocking horse manure unless you want to spend mega bucks. I also want 0.75m long USB C TO USBC And 0.75m long USB C TO LIGHTNING. I can easily get 0,5m but too short, and 1m too long, I hate dangling cables.
