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.

    Audible Speed Warning - Waze

    For some years now I have relied on the audible speed warning provided by Waze, via Android Auto, to keep me out of trouble. A recent (unwanted) update appears to have removed this feature from Waze and replaced it with a slightly enhanced visual warning. This has nothing of the immediacy of the...

    Well, that surprised me...

    I got to my car after an appointment in Biggar and decided I'd like a takeaway meal from the restaurant in West Linton, 11 miles away. So I googled the number and dialled it. Much to my total astonishment the infotainment screen changed to show the phone, and the voice on reply came out of the...

    Trophy's 4G connection and Android Auto / Carplay

    Just been watching one of Burl Solomon's helpful videos on YouTube about the free WiFi hotspot on the Trophy. This was a useful feature I'd overlooked. With that in mind I suspect I will use the AA for internet radio rather than use DAB, as the DAB sounds a bit glitchy, and is missing logos...
