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 wireless connection question.

    Hi I'm in Sydney Australia. Does anyone have any recommendations for a wireless adapter for Android Auto in my HS Plug-in? I have read that the Carlinkit 4.0 does not work with Android version 10. I have a Samsung S9 and would like to get rid of the annoying cable needed to use Android Auto. Thanks.
