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 apps

    My AA has updated now and has the nice split screen but I was wondering how do you get rid of unwanted app icons on the screen tray/taskbar at the bottom (not the big screen with all the apps that you initially select from.) This also relates to before the update, I couldn't fathom it then...

    MG ZS EV Android Auto . . . Woah! This is new.

    Switched on the car this morning and this is what I saw. Anyone else had this multi window screen? I kinda like it. I'm wondering if it's connected to the map update I did a couple of days ago or if it's actually an over-the-air update to the infotainment screen.

    MG5 Android Auto reboots

    Hello, I'm in the middle of my first long trip in my MG5 and between the woeful state of public charging and Google Maps repeatedly crashing the infotainment, I'm not in a great mood. Is the maps problem something that's well known? Is there a fix for it? It seems to reboot specifically...

    Android Auto - Coolwalk upgrade

    This should be rolling out to most android handsets now. I'm interested to see images of the screen / hear how it works on the MG4. Has anyone received the upgrade?

    When the audio source is RADIO AND AA is active AND I'm using Google maps for navigation AND G/Maps is UNMUTED AND the VOICE GUIDANCE volume is set to max, I don't hear any directions played over the top of the radio. When Google would be speaking the radio volume noticeably dips but there is no...

    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...

    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...
